October Highlights from FreeBeautyEvents.com

If you're a beauty addict on a budget, visit FreeBeautyEvents.com and enter your zip code to find out what makeover, gift-with-purchase, spa open houses and sampling events are happening near your home. Sign up to follow the site on Facebook and Twitter, too. In addition to listing in-store makeovers, Freebeautyevents.com also features a blog on product reviews (http://www.freebeautyevents.com/beauty-blog) and a monthly contest http://www.freebeautyevents.com/contest.

This month, for example, Prestige Cosmetics will be at college bookstores in Pennsylvania and Virginia with a free basket raffle for Prestige products, as well as free makeovers. In addition, in December Coty will be promoting their holiday fragrance gift sets at Rite Aid in New York and Pennsylvania.

For the month of October ten winners will receive a University Medical AcneFree Sport Clear 2-Go Skin System. Consumers have until 10/31 to enter and winners will be chosen on 11/5/2010. It's a great resource that puts all free beauty events in one convenient location!

Please note: In exchange for blogging about freebeautyevents.com, I will be receiving a P&G Gift Bag. I'd blog about them regardless, and the goodie bag will allow me to review more beauty products.

Laundry by Shelli Segal Coats Starting at $89 on BeyondTheRack.com




BeyondtheRack.com currently has a great sale on Laundry by Shelli Segal outerwear with prices starting at just $89! This is a brand that always catches my eye at department stores like Bloomingale's but I'm always saddened when I look at the pricetags as their stylish outerwear offerings average anywhere from $250 for a quilted parka to $730 for a leather bomber. But don't take my word for it, you can see the prices for yourself using the ShopStyle widget below. Then, click on over to BeyondtheRack.com and save some cash! Sale ends in one day, so shop wisely. P.S. Beyond The Rack ships to Canada!
