Psst! Here's how to treat yourself when shopping online...

I used to love stalking the department store cosmetic counters in search of the best freebies. You know the ones I'm talking about -- come in a cute zipper pouch or fun tote and are just the most fun to try out when your shopping trip is over? These days, I love shopping for my beauty must-haves on line but I've missed those freebies. Until now. Because I have discovered the beauty of the GWP or Gift With Purchase!

Time to stock up on my favorite base and blush? Well, hello, FREE gloMinerals Mini Eyeshadow Quad. I'm only just slightly over halfway through my perfect blow-out prep product but when there's a GWP from Phytologie | PHYTO, I click Add To Cart like a champion! And there's got to be something -- maybe even lots of somethings -- that I need from Dermalogica Skincare when there's a free gift that gets better the more you purchase.

I found all this GWP goodness at beautystoredepot.com where you can see all the Free Gifts in one place. Just a few clicks and you're on your way to a delivery of beauty goodies that'll put a smile on your pampered face. Even the shipping is free.

A fabulous fake bake is just what I needed

I'll say it: I'm over this winter. I'm over snow, I'm over the polar vortex, I'm over the panic when Mother Nature pays an unexpected visit to the South. I can't afford to hop a plane to Mexico to soak up some rays.

Enter Xen Tan Sunless Tan -- a daily sunless tanner that you use until you achieve your desired color and then as needed. I took a shower and applied the lotion immediately afterward making certain it was blended and absorbed. The color wasn't immediate, but I knew to follow the instructions and wash my hands immediately despite not seeing any color on them. That's something I didn't do the first time I used it. Within a few hours I saw a real difference. In my color and my mood!

I didn't have to reapply the lotion for an entire week and maintained my color. This is why I have fallen in love with Xen-Tan Transform Luxe Light to Medium Daily Self-Tan. One bottle should last an entire season or longer, I am still using the one I bought over the summer.  I started using it to decrease my likely hood of getting burnt (I buy the one with sunscreen) while still looking tan.  The extra color makes me feel good and the sunscreen makes me less vulnerable to the elements.That is a win-win when I am out on a motorcycle trip all day! Anyways it may be cold out but I look warm and ready for the spring.  So bring it on February... my new plan is to be TAN despite the weather!
