QVC Twitter Party TONIGHT!

/

Please join me and QVC tonight, Tuesday November 22, 2011 at 8:00 PM EST, for a Twitter party!  We will be breaking down all of the best QVC Beauty Gifts this season.

To join in, log onto Twitter and make sure you are following me @BeautyBlogger.  I will be using the hash tag #QVCBeautyGifts during the party, so it will be easy to follow along just by searching for that too. I need to let you in on a little secret too - there will be prizes! So make sure you answer some of the questions or shout out your suggestions using the hash tag #QVCBeautyGifts to be eligible to win one of them.

Avoid the crows, shop at home, online or by the phone, iPhone or iPad. QVC makes it so easy. It really saves both time and money and it is fast becoming my favorite way to shop. Be sure you have those gifts lists ready and jot down my suggestions - they are good ones.  No, they are great ones. Promise.

See you tonight. Remember, 8:00 PM EST. The party should last a good hour and a half or so, so even if you are not available at exactly 8:00, join in when you can.

A Sample Stuffed Safari Bag from Beauty.com.

/

We all like free beauty products and GWP items are some of my faves. Especially those from Beauty.com!

Just in time for the holidays, Beauty.com is partnering with famed designer Issa London (the fab designer who created Kate Middleton's blue dress that she wore to announce her engagement) to offer the new “Safari Bag". Just visit Beauty.com/Issa and spend $100 to receive this exclusive gift valued at more than $175. The zip-top coated canvas cosmetic bag is sturdy and spacious with an adorable elephant print design.

“The Safari Bag epitomizes our effortlessly chic vibe at Issa,” says designer and creative director Danielle Helayel. “We used a trademark print so our little elephants, who usually march over Issa dresses, have now put their stamp on these easy, waterproof beauty bags. They’re perfect to slip your bikini into, for storing everyday essentials in your handbag or to brighten up your makeup shelf.”

The bag is larger that you would expect from the picture.  It can easily hold all of your makeup and skin care for a weekend or holiday trip. I mean, it fit all of those samples in it plus there was room left for more.

Of course, you want to know about the 15 samples this beauty comes with. They are good ones! Also in the bag is a card for $5 toward future purchases at Beauty.com and a voucher for $20 off the purchase of sunglasses from the Sunglass Hut® Store on Beauty.com:
 

1. Supersmile® Professional Whitening System
2. DERMADoctor® Wrinkle Revenge® Cleanser

Snowtober Pictures and Updates.

/

There is nothing beautiful about this, as the major snowstorm that hit the Northeastern United States on October 30, 2011 hit us hard.

I am writing this from a makeshift parking lot about 45 minutes from my home where I have some 3G service.  We are actually here getting gas, and we have about an hour+ wait. We are told we will have no power for 10 - 14 days.  On day five now; this is not pretty.

This picture looks normal for a Massachusetts snowstorm, perhaps.  But this much snow on October 30th? That is when bad things happen.

Trees are down, snapped in half, all over my front and back yard and through a window and skylights in my home.  Driving through neighborhoods, we feel lucky.  We are alive and safe. We will repair our house.

Trying to stay warm at night and get in a hot shower every few days has become like a scavenger hunt to find heat and warmth.  I have a jar of First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream with me and an EOS Lip Balm Sphere.  Beside that, I forget what makeup looks like. On Sunday, thinking it wouldn't be so bad with a tiny bit of hot water left to quickly bathe, after air drying my hair I held my curling iron over the fire and was able to curl my hair.  It hasn't mattered much since though.  Life priorities have changed to finding a hot meal, shower (as I said) and gas.

If I can get some power and internet soon, I hope to get back to the business of beauty. Until then, take care and stay warm.
