Free Shipping on Clinique.com- Today Only!
Clinique.com is offering free standard shipping on any online purchase today only! (Friday, January 30, 2009) They made a mistake in their email though...
You would think since the code is FRIDAY and that it actually says Friday on the ad, they would have the fine print with the correct day of the week..
If Clinique.com is hiring, please leave a comment! :)

Three Reasons to love Smashbox Cosmetics
Smashbox Cosmetics is one of my favorites and here are my Top 3 Reasons why..
(Read more Smashbox Reviews here)
3) Jumbo Samples
You can choose one of three deluxe samples from Smashbox which are three of their more popular items, including their Photo Finish Foundation Primer, Lip Enhancing Gloss in Aura, and O-Glow Intuitive Cheek Color. I would pick the Foundation Primer because a little bit of it goes a long way and primers are such a great way to make your face makeup last longer throughout the day.
(Source: smashbox.com)
2)Let's do Lunch program.
If you complete a purchase on Tuesdays or Thursdays from 9-2pm PST, you will receive a free full-sized product. This freebie can vary from a lip gloss to an eyeshadow trio, so check out their page to see what they offering each week and plan accordingly!
(Source: smashbox.com)
1) Spectacular sale
(Source: smashbox.com)
They are offering up to 25-50% off on over 5 pages worth of products. Some of my favorites include their color kits which are basically sets with lip, face, and/or brush products.
Here are two of my favorites, GLAMBOX VOL. 3 - BEAUTY ON THE GO
(Source: smashbox.com)
The Glambox Vol. 3 is a $190 value and contains: Bionic Mascara in Jet Black
Basked Cheek Duo in On The Town
Shadow & Liner Trio in Hot Date
Shadow & Liner Trio in Girls Night Out (read reviews for Eyeshadow trios)
3 Lip Glosses in Happy Hour, Cocktail Hour, and After Hours -It seems like they cover all three time zones after work ;)
3 Travel Brushes in Angled Blush Brush, Precision Liner Brush, and Definer Brush
All of these goodies for $50!
I'm a huge fan of their eye trios and I just love that they offer a neutral palette (the one with the browns) and another fun one (the one with the purple shade- great to create a smoky eye look)
I also like that they give you 3 of their brushes and lip glosses- all handy for travel and to carry in your purse. If you can't afford this set and want good quality brushes, may I suggest e.l.f. brushes for only $1 each!
And another Bonus..
they offer free shipping!

e.l.f. Brushes Haul
So after getting all those emails (See e.l.f. marketing campaign and recently, 75% off e.l.f. minerals) I had to show you my e.l.f. haul.
I bought several brushes, duplicates of some, because I knew they were going to useful and of good quality. I sometimes have to use 3-4 different eye brushes to create a dramatic look (using blending and contrasting techniques.)
I got my package fairly quickly, in about a week or less, and it came in a very economically packaged box. I only received about 2 large sheets of paper as a filler, as you can see below. All my purchases came in a nice plastic bag with the words e.l.f. eyes lips face on it.
Here is an up close view of the many brushes that I bought. :) I pretty much bought brushes, eyeshadow applicators and a travel sized mirror. I bought eyeshadow brushes, defining eye brushes, blending brushes, angled blushing/bronzing/blending brushes and the total face brushes (the biggest of their brushes.)
I was so happy and overwhelmed with my purchase! I immediately opened three of the brushes to check out the bristles for the eyeshadow brush, blending brush, and the blushing/bronzing/blending brushes (pictured below).
I have to say that they are absolutely amazing! The eyeshadow brush has a nice rounded c-shaped tip and is wider than a lot of eyeshadow brushes that I have seen and have. Although the cutting and shape of one brush looked different than another eyeshadow brush, they are both similar and have really soft bristles. I even tried to stab it on my hand to see if any of the hairs would prick, but it did not hurt.
I really like these brushes because they can pack a lot of shadow within the brush. I have used these two eye brushes with my Jane Aguaceuticals eyeshadow set, and works wonderfully. I already have brushes from Bare Minerals (from their starter kits) and I must say that they work just as well. (Read reviews for the Eye shadow brush here)
The blushing/bronzing/blending brush, also shown in the above picture, is also very soft. It has some red hairs but overall, it works well as a blending brush. I use my other brushes to first apply my powder makeup and then I use this brush for any retouching and blending. (Read other reviews here)

e.l.f. Cosmetics- Email marketing campaign
After hearing about the cheap products that e.l.f. cosmetics offers on their website, (e.l.f. stands for Eyes Lips Face), I decided to check out what they had. Most of their products are only $1, ranging from eye shadows, lip glosses and brushes (Read my e.l.f. brush haul here) . They also offer a Studio line, which is about $3 each and Minerals line, which ranges from $3-$5.
The e.l.f. Studio line products are for those who want to achieve the "professional look." You'll notice that these products are all black- its packaging, handles and even brush bristles are black. (I like my brushes to have a natural looking color, even if they are synthetic.)
The E.L.F. Minerals line are made of 100% natural minerals, so they are free of chemicals, dyes and parabens. Their bath & body kits contains several products in various fragrances which cost about $10.
source: e.l.f. website
I signed up for their newsletter to receive more e.l.f. news, promotions, product alerts and beauty tips. They also have a blog that you can check out at ELF Beauty Blog, written by their beauty professional, Achelle.
I would get about an email from them almost everyday, sometimes twice a day. At first, I found them annoying but then I got even more intrigued by their deals. They are known for having some great soft eye brushes, so I debated whether or not to buy them.
Some of their email subject headings include:
* Hi -insert email here- (Dec. 21, 22, 23, 24..I told you it was every day!)
* For only -insert email here- (Dec. 22)
* Sorry -insert email here- (Dec. 20)
* This is the Best! (Dec. 29)
* OMG - Get it Now ! (Jan 6)
* -insert email here- Get What You Really Really Want ! (Jan 7)
Also, the email sender of these emails would vary. It would be "Eyes Lips Face" one day, and "e.l.f." the next and sometimes "elf@eyeslipsface.com". Did they do this to make their constant emails look different?
So, I am a sucker for bargains and buying things in bulk, so when I see emails like these, I just can't help but to browse (at least for now).
