Origins
Go Green & Get Free! Origins is having a Trade-In program. On 4/22, Origins is offering customers the chance to bring an empty cosmetic container to any Origins retail store or counter (which Origins then recycles for them through their Return to Origins Recycling PRogram) to trade it in for a free full-sized Checks and Balances Frothy face wash or A Perfect World Antioxidant cleanser with White Tear. Find the store nearest you!

Starbucks
Bring a reusable mug into Starbucks today and receive a free coffee. Offer good for today only, April 15.

Burt's Bees

DermStore.com
The website is launching a Natural and Organic section with over 4,000 product, and donating a portion of the proceeds from sales of the page to the Earth Day Network. Great way to get gorgeous and go green!

Avon Ultra Color Rich Mega Impact Lipstick

Avon's Ultra Color Rich Mega Impact Lipstick fits right in with my makeup selection for this spring. The vibrant colors and long-lasting shades are aligned with the latest lip color trends. Bonus - it contains SPF 15, which is why this will be a staple in my purse this Spring/Summer.

Blending chromatic pigments with color-match magnifiers, each shade is amplified by highlighting and reflecting its true hue.

Mega Impact lipstick goes on really smooth and is long lasting. I was able to try this out in Never so Nude and loved light bronze shimmer. This lipstick has a lot of color to it, and goes on bold (not like some lipsticks you have to put 3 layers of on), but not too bold where I feel like I need a liner or anything. I wore this shade by itself and it didn't dry out my lips like some other brands. No top gloss needed, these colors are really vibrant on their own.

Foot Petals Tip Toes Saved My Soles

All my high heels have one thing in common...they have Foot Petals!

Foot Petals Tip Toes are a 'sole' saver. They have saved my feet during a girls weekend in Vegas, NY Fashion Week and several weddings! They help to keep your foot from sliding forward, and provide a nice cushion for the ball of your foot. The protection and cushion they provide is unreal. They are thick enough to make a noticeable difference, but thin enough so they don't change the way your shoes fit.

They come in a variety of colors, so you can match the inside of your shoe. If you're feeling wild, you can also get them in animal prints. I've tried out a few other items from Foot Petals, including Heavenly Heelz, which helps to keep your heels from sliding out of your shoes. It seems that my shoes fit differently depending on the weather. When it's hot, my feet swell a bit and my shoes fit a bit more snug. In the winter, shoes tend to want to slide right off, but alas, Heavenly Heelz saves the day.It's not just me that loves 'em, Foot Petals won an Allure Best of Beauty award. My advice: if you are hesitant to wear heels because you are afraid that your feet will hurt for the night, give Foot Petals a try. Your soles will thank you :)

Giveaway Break - Goody Samba Delight Clips

Oops! I accidentally erased the original giveaway post for this item. All previous entries will still count!!! Please spread the word for the new link!

Goody's new Global Chic Collection is inspired by the flora and faunas of exotic lands around the globe. Transport your style to the Sahara with a hot assortment of headbands, or add a splash of color to your style with barrettes inspired by Bali landscapes.

Goody does a great job at capturing the latest styles and making hair accessories that are reasonably priced. I am a huge headband fan, and I'm thoroughly impressed with the designs for this line. They are similar to ones that I've seen at J Crew and Anthropologie. The prices for this collection range from $3-$7. Keep this in mind for upcoming prom styles!

The Goody Global Chic Collection will be available exclusively at Walmart stores from April through October 2010.
