Coveted Coats

 

( Via Tiffany LaBelle )

Sweater weather still is lingering, but soon we will be trading those sweaters in for something warmer. This year's coats are anything but basic. Some are oversized, others are fringed. There's faux fur, and real. Bright and white. This edit of 16 chic coats features a style for every budget.

Prime Day Pampering

 

Shopping at Amazon can be totally overwhelming. I have taken the pain out of it by linking you to the best of the Prime Day pampering deals. Think luxe skincare, makeup, beauty tools and more. Not a Prime Member? Today is a good day to sign up and save. Plus you will get 30 days free! I love the free fast shipping which is usually 1-2- days. That means you never run out of your must have beauty and skincare. In my opinion, membership is so worth it!

Dazzle Dry Nail Lacquer

I have been using this for about 18 months. It's created with non toxic formulas and is said to last for up to 2 weeks. I only get about a week, but that is four days more than any other polish. I wear the color "Poised," and love it. Best yet, when using the entire system it is perfectly dry in 5 minutes. Not all colors are on sale, but quite a few are. A nice savings of $5.00

Beekman 1802

One of my very fave brands for bath and body. It's all about the power of goat milk. My skin loves the bar soap, whipped body cream, foot balm, wipes, and deoderant. 

R + Co Haircare

I use three of their products daily. The Biotin Shampoo and Conditioner really adds body. The Balloon, spray hair volumizer is what really gives my hair the oomph! It can puff this fine limp hair in a minute! It's all included in the Prime Big Deals.

RMS Beauty
This brand is getting a lot of buzz of late. I have not tried it, but have friends who have, and they love it. It's clean beauty, and quite a bit of it is serum based. It looks interesting to me. It's luxe but the prices are more affordable for this big deal sale.

It Cosmetics

With a cult following, this brand is offering nice discounts on so many of their products including Nude, Glow, CC Cream, Celebration Foundation, and Bye Bye Undereye.

OGEE Organic Skincare and Makeup
I have yet to try this brand, but my niece loves it. You can save over $25 on their Face Stick Trio. This product alone has over 5,000 5 star reviews on their website. Other products are on sale, as well.

Peter Thomas Roth Masks

These masks are exceptional. What a buy! Normally $60. Now $36. That's 40% off One of the best deals of the day. My favorite masks are the Pumpkin Enzyme and 24 K Gold. One exfoliates fabulously which lightens fine lines and wrinkles. The latter tightens everything up.

Excellent products and much of it has been made for women of a certain age. The makeup brushes are excellent!

Jane Iredale Clean Beauty

It's a beautiful skincare and makeup line that rarely can be found on sale. Today you can save up to 24% on many of her products.

Demora Eye Patches

I have learned about these very inexpensive patches from The Beauty Blotter.  I follow Kirsten and trust her judgement. Worth a try!
