Beauty Sales Today

I'm back! I've been in hiding :) I'm back from vacation in Charleston (beautiful, fun city!) and I'm here to give you a heads up on some beauty sales:

HauteLook Sales

Andis nano hair dryer and curling iron, starting at $14.98

Aeto Botanica hair treatments, starting at $13.00

At Bath and Body, the 4 0z candles are on sale for 2 for $10. The Autumn scents are out, and they are stunning. My all time favorite is 'Leaves,' but they were sold out of this plug in when I went so I got 'Autumn' instead. It's comparable and just as good. There are several new pumpkin scents that make you want to drive straight to an apple orchard!

got2b Cupcakes for a Cause

got2b's Collagen-infused Fat-tastic stylers are fantastic. I was able to try the thickening hairspray and loved it. With all the humidity we've been experiencing, I haven't been leaving home without this on my hair. What's even better than the line? Winning it! Enter to win got2b's Fat-tastic line.

Also, from September 20-26, bakeries and grocery stores around the country will be selling specially-marked cupcakes and donating a portion of the sales to CancerCare for Kids, a program that provides free support services to children affected by cancer and their families. got2b is sweetening the deal in two unique ways: 1) For every FREE e-Cupcake sent, got2b will donate $1 to the cause and 2) For every new 'like' on got2b's Facebook page, got2b will donate $1. Plus, if got2b reaches 10,000 'likes' by September 30, got2b will donate an additional $1,000! For more information on Cupcakes for a Cause and to send your own e-Cupcake visit www.cupcakesforacause.org.

What's in My Beach Bag? Sothys After-Sun

No matter how much sunscreen you use, after being out in the sun all day, your skin is going to experience some damage, whether it be a sun burn or drying, you need to moisturize at the end of the day.

I've found Sothys Soothing After-Sun lotion, part of Sothys's Cellu-Guard Sun Care line, to be a perfect way to end my day after being out in the sun. It's refreshing, almost citrus-y, scent isn't over-powering, and it immediately softens my skin. It contains soothing active ingredients, and prevents photo-induced aging. It soaks in pretty fast and doesn't leave me greasy or stain my clothing.

I'll admit, I got a pretty bad burn this summer (in spots that I missed sunscreen) and I've used Sothys Soothing After Sun lotion to help moisturize and prevent peeling.
