I have been trying to use more natural products now that I'm expecting, so I was eager to review the Burt's Bees Lip Glosses and Lip Shines that recently landed on my desk. These 100% natural lip glosses and shines contain no petrochemicals, phthalates, parabens or sodium lauryl sulfate, and are not tested on animals. In other words, if you inadvertently eat these pout-prettying-products, you don't have to fret. Fun fact: According to Burt's Bees, a woman consumes an average of 6 lbs of lipstick in her lifetime. Yum! So let's see how these all-natural lip glosses stack up, shall we?

Please note: This giveaway has ended and is now closed to further entries.

I've teamed up with SALTMoney.org to offer one lucky reader a chance to win a $200 AmEx gift card, so you can start spending less time worrying about debt and more time on the things you really care about (like fashion!)

To give you a bit of background, SALTMoney.org was founded by the nonprofit organization, American Student Assistance (ASA) in December 2011. SALT's mission is to educate students and families on how to navigate financing a higher education, successfully manage any resulting debt, and build money skills for life. Because the ASA is a nonprofit organization, SALT is entirely FREE for users.

SALT has in depth information on a wide range of financial topics like:

• Simple online tools to track and plan your student loans
  


• Tips and guidance to help you make smart decisions about tricky loan stuff
  


• Help finding scholarships, internships, and jobs
  


• Deals and discounts that put more money in your pocket
  


• Know-how that empowers you to be money smart

I would have loooved to have had a resource like this back when I was in college and after graduation. But I'm finding SALT useful even now for money-saving articles like "How to eat at Whole Foods for less than $5." Good stuff, right?

Last night, Target celebrated the launch of Threshold - it's new affordable home decor line - by constructing a life-size dollhouse in Grand Central's Vanderbilt hall in New York City and inviting bloggers and members of the press to experience the collection firsthand.

Affordable fashion is often targeted to teens but let's face, women of all ages love a bargain. Besides, grownups have bills to pay and fashion has to take a back seat to other expenses. In this episode of my Style Coalition series "Retail Bootcamp," I share tips to help the post-tween set get the most out of high-street fashion stores (think Forever 21, H&M or Charlotte Russe).

A Grownup Guide to High Street Fashion

Shop off peak hours. When possible, aim to shop during quiet weekday mornings when dressing rooms are organized and lines are short.

Ignore sizing. Don't even look at the tags! Just hold things up to your body to get a sense of whether or not they'll fit, then try them on. Don't get discouraged if something cut for a teen figure doesn't work for you. Just keep looking.

Look for classic clothing and trendy accessories. Blazers, dark denim, and basic camis are always a safe bet. Of course there are exceptions to this rule but it's a good starting point if you're not used to shopping fast fashion. Then, have fun with a bright pump or statement necklace instead. These are inexpensive ways to update your look while still looking polished.

What's your shopping strategy when it comes to fast fashion or the teen department? Do you avoid it or dive right in?
