Shu Uemura Sale Today at Hautelook




There's a Shu Uemura sale going on today at Hautelook.com, a popular designer sample sale site that I've purchased a couple things from in the past, most recently some Christmas gifts for friends (yes, it's that time of year again). Products include a $10 eye lash curler, $13.80 lipsticks and $20.10 false eyelashes. These aren't rock-bottom prices but they are really good for a luxe beauty brand like Shu Uemura, which boasts a cult following of stylish gals who swear by the quality and performance of these products. If you've ever wanted to try something from the line, now's your chance! Use this link to join the sale.

Donate Your Unused Shoes to Soles4Souls, Get a 20% Off Coupon to Mandee




From November 4, 2009 through December 24, 2009, all 120 Mandee stores will be collecting donations of gently worn shoes to be given to Soles4Souls, an international shoe charity dedicated to providing shoes to people in need. As a thank you for participation, each customer that donates will receive a 20% off discount coupon towards an item of their choice.

It is estimated that Americans have 1.5 billion pairs of unused shoes lying in their closets. And judging by my closet, I'd say that sounds about right! Dig deep and see if you can't donate a couple pairs to those in need. It's a great cause and easy to contribute.
