Staying healthy, looking healthy, specifically looking young and well put together. These are things that are very important. I know that for some it can be rather uncouth to just come right out and admit that one is concerned about it, but it’s okay. Fact is, we are all concerned, and we all want to look good. All of us are on the same page.

Most of us are on the same page in doing so while saving the most amount of money. Beauty products can be pricey at times. While there is certainly no shame in dropping a little bit of cash on a premium product, why spend more than you need?

Generally the first step in maximizing savings while shopping for whatever it is you need at the time, takes the form of finding out what’s out there. Taking a bit of time to find out about the different stores that are out there offering beauty products, which are in your price range, and most importantly of all which offer the products that you need. Once you posses this information you can jump into comparison shopping. Comparing the price and offerings from one merchant versus another, while all the while keeping one’s eye out for special sales, deals and discounts.

Yes this would be the game plan for any normal mortal. You my friend are not normal. No, you are special, and have a leg up in this whole affair. This is because you have me on your side, and through me you have the vast resources of Coupon Mountain. With these resources a person such as yourself can just cut to the chase, with the best deals, discounts and online savings delivered like magic to your feet.

Good Skin Care Products - Clinique Coupon Codes

Isreal Lawrence — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 17:23:02 +0000

There are a whole host of opinions and advice circulating out there on how best to take care of one’s skin.

“When you eat a lot of chocolates or junk foods, you will get acne.” “Pimples are caused by poor hygiene.” “Skin care products with the word ‘natural’ on the label are good for you.”

How many of these maxims about skin care do you really believe in? In a world which puts too much stress on physical beauty, it is sometimes frustrating for an individual to have less-than-perfect skin, which is why it is tempting to believe in all these “principles” as far as skin care is concerned. I really do believe that a good skin care regimen really depends on genetics and common sense. It pays to be selective about which skin care advice you should take, and the latest fad (much like with dieting) is not always the course one should take. What you need to do is be a keen observant about which products lead you to have breakouts or skin rashes – and steer clear of them. At the end of the day, taking care of your skin is all a matter of choosing the right products and having a good skin care regimen that you can follow on a daily basis.

Cleanse

The first step will always start with washing one’s face. Simplicity is key here and there is no need to spend $50 or $60 on a super fancy wash. Though bear in mind, common bar soap will do you no good either. That stuff will dry out your face. This non-drying formula from Clinique will maintain protective lipids and loosen surface flakes, prepping the skin for exfoliation. You can find this Liquid Facial Soap in 3 skin typed formulas for Price $15

Exfoliate

Exfoliation is the step most people skip in their weekly skincare routine. But trust me, if you start properly exfoliating your skin, you will notice an almost immediate difference.

There are several methods in achieving this. Some more expensive and drastic than others. For example scrubs vs. a chemical peel. In the hour it takes to get a chemical peel, you can take off five years from your face. However can you afford the monthly bill for a chemical peel?

Our favorite method is a Clarifying Lotion. De-flakes, sweeps away buildups of oil and nudges fresher skin to the surface. This will help dry skins maximize moisture and oily skins avert breakout. This one from Clinique comes in 4 skin typedformulas and will run you $11.50 for a 6.7 oz. bottle.

Moisturize

While I know of at least one famous beauty editor who swore skin doesn’t need moisturizer, basically everyone else I’ve read disagrees and is an adamant believer in it. A basic law of beauty is that everyone, no matter her skin type, should moisturize. Even if your skin is oily, it will benefit from moisturizers. (The only exception is those with acne). Why? Moisturizers seal moisture into skin. So how much should you moisturize? Your skin will tell you. When your skin is tight, it’s crying out for moisture. Be careful not to overmoisturize — this can cause clogged pores.

Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion won the Readers Choice Award at the 2009 “Glammies” presented by Glamour magazine. Price $24.00

Sunscreen

The number 1 cause of wrinkles is sun damage, so it’s important to use sunscreen from your early years on even in winter and on cloudy days. Time and again dermatologists and skin care experts say that applying sun screen is the most important part of a good skin care regimen.

City Block Sheer Oil-Free Daily Face Protector SPF 25 is a lightweight broad spectrum UVA/UVB daily sunscreen that will wick away perspiration and absorb excess oil. Perfect alone or as an invisible makeup primer. $17.50

E.L.F Cosmetics Coupons - 50% Off Lip Purchases, Make-up Only $1-$5 Dollars

Isreal Lawrence — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 20:26:53 +0000

My wife Sara was introduced to E.L.F cosmetics a little while back, when a friend of hers gave her a a goody bag with some lotions and bath products from them. Not being aware of the company at the time (and Sara being who she is), she decided one afternoon to a little spot research. When she found the E.L.F. website she was so very surprised to find how unbelievably affordable these products were. A vast majority of their product line retails from between $1-$5!

Sara has had bad experiences with “bargain” makeup in the past, but she felt that the Elf cosmetics provided in the gift bag didn’t seem to fit that criteria at all. Now she is a fan of Elf cosmetics, the few items she tried in the gift bag coupled with their awesome pricing was enough to convince her. She loved pretty much all that she ordered. She was a big fan of the brushes. Finding them to be of a quality equal to others offered at much higher prices, she told me many a morning “I can’t believe these were only a dollar”!

She is also a lip gloss fanatic, so she ordered several different varieties. She really seemed to enjoy the 3 Piece Lip Gloss Sets, and found all the flavors she tried out to be pleasing. Available in two different sets, with the first offering the Pink Kiss, Angel and Goddess flavors. The second set comes with Honey Do, Juiced Berry and Watermelon. Perfect for travel or as a quick gift, and is available for only $3!

In addition to feeling so good about saving all that hard earned money, you might be happy to know that all of the products found at E.L.F. are cruelty free. That means the products are not tested on animals. E.L.F. also donates a portion of their proceeds to PETA. Do you want to feel even better? How about some E.L.F cosmetics coupon codes? 50% off of any lip purchases of $15 or more?! What?! Are you kidding me? When the products are only between $1-$5 anyways? That would make me feel pretty good! That is if I wore lip gloss.

Nordstrom Coupons - Laila Perfume Turns Heads

Isreal Lawrence — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 18:59:06 +0000

Usually known for their incredibly wide range of majestic shoes, Nordstrom hits the bullseye once again with Laila, but this time in a different section of the store. Laila perfume produced by Gier Ness of Norway and named for his mother, was presented to rave reviews at the Nordstrom Cosmetics Trend show this spring. Laila carries a very clean and fresh floral scent, with a subtle sweetness, like watermelon. I’m told , “Laila is the true essence of Norway, beauty, freshness and woman”. I personally cannot vouch for this having never been to Norway, nor dated any Norwegian women. I did hear these testimonials however:

“All I know is that when I wear it, everybody, from my husband (who can’t smell) to my co-workers to strangers will stop and say, ‘what do you have on? you smell really good.’ It’s not overpowering, won’t out-smell everyone in the room but is enough to make a statement. I love it.”

“This is the only fragrance where I have actually finished a full bottle!! A good friend of mine introduced me to this perfume - she just smelled SOOO amazing, I had to ask her what she was wearing. She smelled clean, floral…with a touch of fruity-ness. I didn’t know that even existed in a scent, and at the time…it was exactly what I was looking for…All in all, a great fragrance…and I get many compliments on this from men.”

Seems to me that Laila is everything I like a perfume to be: subtle, clean and reserved in presentation, though attention grabbing. Has Laila grabbed your attention? Laila can be found at Nordstrom, check out our free online perfume coupons and go make a splash!
