Announcing Beauty Smackdown!

Do you ever become overwhelmed with the amount of beauty products available that all claim to be THE BEST? You need to check out my new blog, Beauty Smackdown! BeautySmackdown is dedicated to giving you the "skinny" on beauty and costmetic items so that you can make an informed purchase decision. In each post I compare two different products in the same category to declare a winner.

Just to note: These are my honest options. Companies don't pay me to say their items are good.

What I need from you: Tell me what products you want to see in a smackdown! Feel free to email them to me at divaonadollar@yahoo.com.

Sephora Friends and Family

The holidays are approaching quickly and I will continue to give you ideas on how to shop efficiently and economically. Right now sephora.com is offering 20% off from November 3 - 21. All you have to do is enter promotion code FF2007 at checkout. Enjoy!

Get Expert Eyes from Smashbox!

As many of you know, Smashbox has some great make-up - especially if you're going for the "smokey eye look". Now, from Sephora, you can get this Smashbox Master Class Expert Eyes set (that would separately sell for $174, by the way) for just $59!

The set includes (as shown) three eyeshadow trios, two eyeliner duos, That's a Wrap mascara in black, some great brushes, and an instructional DVD led by Smashbox makeup artist, Patrick Tumey, for exclusive tips & tricks! What a great set (or gift)!


Even better? Their products are animal cruelty-free!

A Bunch of Blowout Bargains at Bliss

Many people swear by the many bath and body products that Bliss has to offer. If you are one of those people, I have some good news for you! They are having a big blowout sale with some items as much as 80% off! Here are a couple of my favorites:

Bliss 'Spaahh'-kling Body Butter on sale for just $6.40!

Now why it was $32 for a 7 oz. tube in the first place is beyond me! Granted, I don't really wear the sparklies anymore, but it's a great deal if you do.

Best of Bliss Set for 50% off at $22.50!

This set has all of their best selling products: 2 oz bottles of lemon+sage soapy sap and vanilla+bergamot bubbling bath+shower gel, 1.7 oz tubes of lemon+sage body scrub, vanilla+bergamot body butter and high intensity hand cream, and a mini herban jungle exfoliating soap. Great for gifts and great for travel (they all meet the 3.4 oz standard!).
