Recession Replacement Thursday, Bronzer & Winner of Sally Hansen's Colors

Here's one of our readers introducing us to a new & inexpensive bronzer.

Dear DE,

I thought the recession would kill my beauty routine. It turns out, it's made me discover some great inexpensive gems.
Before the recession hit, I lived in Sephora like it was my second home. Well I can’t afford to do that anymore, so my local Sallys and drugstores are where I find all of beauty items.
I was one of those people addicted to Guerlain’s bronzer, it left me gorgeously glowing like nothing else…..or so I thought.





Around 2 months ago, I was in my local beauty store when I spotted this gorgeous shimmery bronzer, by a company called Prestige. The color was Glam Tan.



I never heard of this company but the price was right, only ten dollars, so I picked it up.
I was not disappointed. This bronzer is finely milled, so pigmented, and with one swoop of my brush, I'm left with one of the most beautiful glows I’ve ever had. I think it’s better than the more expensive products I’ve used.
This has definitely replaced not just my Guerlain Bronzer, but all of my other bronzers.

Thanks Theresa for your Recession Replacement,

Winner of Sally Hansen's Insta Dri Nail polishes is Natasha Evans. Natasha you have two days to contact me or we'll give this to someone else. We're having more great giveaways soon, also, please e-mail me your Recession Replacements.

Hugs,

DE

Oh i also want to thank one of my readers Hips Hazel who gave me an extra shout out on her blog. How sweet was that. Here's the post THINK GOLDEN CHECK OUT HER BLOG TOO, IT'S LOADED WITH FANTASTIC AND POSITIVE INFORMATION!

NEW SALLY HANSEN -INSTA DRI COLORS & GIVEAWAY

Hey guys,

I hope you had a great weekend. Mine was pretty amazing. Anyway, don’t kill me but I didn’t get a chance to do my hair tonic video this weekend. I was away and was supposed to get back on Sunday, but I ended up getting home on Monday. I’m sooo sorry. Are you mad? Please don’t be! IT'S COMING!

I wanted to talk to you girlies about some amazing polishes that I love love love. There the Sally Hansen Insa-dry Collection. These polishes are really good for many reasons. Although they don’t try instantly, I’d say they dry COMPLETELY in about 4 minutes. Also, the polish last forever. I got a mani on Friday morning, and today (Tuesday)is the first day that I see any sort of chipping. The colors are so beautiful, bright, and fun for the summer months. Here are 8 that I’ve tried.

Sally Hansen’s in Instant Iris-a gorgeous sexy purple.



Sally Hansen’s Beautiful Orange You Fast-a gorgeous orange that screams Summer is here baby!



Sally Hansen’s Coral Rush- A luxuriously super bright pinkish red. Just stunning on tan skin.



Sally Hansen’s Brisk Blue-This is my favorite color, It’s so bright, and blue. It just makes me happy!



Sally Hansen’s Flyin Fuschia-Another exquisitely light pinkish red. Not as bright as Coral Rush, so it makes it a little more appropriate for work.



Sally Hansen’s Lickety-Split Lime-Last year I had an addiction to green polishes, but this year I thought I’d put them away. But after finding this color, I may just keep green in my collection.



Sally Hansen’s Rapidly Rosy-a bright and gorgeous pink. My second favorite color



Sally Hansen’s Lemon Dash-A sunny and breathtaking yellow.



Well you know what time it is. I’m giving away Sally Hansen’s 8 gorgeous insta-dry colors. NEW ONES, NOT THE ONES I USED. LOL



Send an e-mail to beautylogicblog@yahoo.com with the subject being “DE, I need some Sally Hansen insta-dry in my collection.” Winner gets announced on Thursday.

WHATS YOUR FAVORITE COLOR IN THIS COLLECTION?

I'm having a crazy week, so new nailpolishes review and giveaway next week.

New Kiss My Face Organic Lip Shines Giveaway & Winner of Hair

As a lip gloss junkie, you can usually find up to 20 in my bag at a time. I love having the option of changing my look at any moment. When I discover a gloss, it will usually stay in my bag for about 2 months, until I get tired or using it and then I’ll find another one and quickly replace it. However, yesterday while searching for my learners permit (yes I said it, I still can’t drive, I’m a New Yorker! I take the subway) I noticed that one of my many glosses had been in my bag for over six months and was almost empty, and I just had to replace it! (I rarely ever use the same lipgloss for over 6 months so that says a lot.) It's my Kiss My Face Organic Lip Shines.



My favorite shade is ruby. It’s a gorgeous brownish pink sheer shade with a hint of glitter.



It’s a thick consistency, but never sticky. I absolutely hate when the wind blows and my hair gets stuck on my lips, that does not happen with this product! The color looks gorgeous on tan skinned mamas, and this has a delish mint taste. (I feel like it refreshes my breath when I apply it). It’s loaded with organic shea butter and jojoba oil which nourish the lips (You don’t even have to apply chapstick before putting this on). And the price is right as well-it only cost $6.95. I would highly recommend this.

Have you tried Kiss my Face Sheer Organic Shine?

Id you haven't, maybe you'll get a chance. I'm giving away 5 brand new colors of the Kiss My Face's Organic Lip shine.



Just send an e-mail to beautylogicblog@yahoo.com with the subject being "DE, give me some Kiss My Face." Winner gets announced tomorrow.

Winner of the Hair Giveaway is Lucy Maestro. Lucy 2 days to e-mail me or we'll have to give this to someone else.

Hair Hair Hair & New Giveaway

I take a lot of pride in my hair. It’s jet black, healthy, thick with an incredible amount of shine. But there are other reasons I take pride in it. When I was younger, I remember crying because my hair wasn't as full and shiny as my moms. My hair was dry, never grew, and just dull. Now I’m not saying these products will change your life but I think they’ll help. My hair tonic will probably help you more (i promise i will try to do the vid this weekend), but these will assist in giving you beautiful hair. So here’s my last giveaway. It’s a personal one because I actually purchased these products myself to give to you. These are products that I credit with helping me get my hair to where I want it to be and I want your hair to be healthy and beautiful as well.

1) Aubrey’s Honey suckle Conditioner-leaves my hair not only smelling great, but thick and shiny as well.
2) Aubrey’s GPB Conditioner-A great protein treatment
3) Spectrum’s Coconut oil (although recently I’ve been making my own coconut oil with coconuts. I may do a youtube on that)
4) Giovanni Smooth As Silk Conditioner
5) Giovanni Tea Trea Oil Shampoo (great if you have dandruff)
6) DE’s guide to the perfect scalp massage
7) Aubrey’s White Camelia (don’t use it as much, but used to use it all the time)

Just send an e-mail to beautylogicblog@yahoo.com with the subject being “DE, I want fabulous hair too.” Winner gets announced tomorrow.

Thanks for reading. We'll be back tomorrow with some reviews on new glosses and nail colors.

Hugs,

What are your plans for the weekend?

Clarisonic 300th Post Giveaway, & Many Thanks

Hey guys, I'm sorry it took so long to post my giveaway. First of all, I was trying to post a youtube on this, and my computer just kept shutting down on me. Do you know what a pain in the neck that is! BUT, I'M SO EXCITED!!!! It Finally Worked!!!I want to say thanks for reading, but thanks for e-mailing too. I get so many e-mails from wonderful people. I want to say that every single one of you is amazing, and beautiful, and i Hope to meet all of you soon. But let's stop wtih the mushy stuff. Here's my Youtube but if you don't want to watch it, I'll explain my Giveaway!



I've reviewed the Clarisonic before, and am OBSESSED WITH IT! I know these are hard times and many of you beautiful mamas may not be able to afford this, so send an e-mail to beautylogicblog@yahoo.com with the subject being "DE, Happy 300th Post, but GIVE ME THAT CLARISONIC." WINNER gets announced on Thursday May 14, 2009. I know I said this was a one day giveaway but I posted late so now you have TWO DAYS to enter. Also, I'm giving away tickets to The Makeup Show tomorrow. And I've also got great news. Remember when I told you guys that I was making a tape for my brother's b-day. Well there were over 300 people in his birthday party (yes my brother is loved so much) and we showed the video on a big screen. By the end of the night 6 people had approached me asking if I could make tapes for their loved ones. I gave them a price (which i thought was a little high) and they all said they would call me.. So you see guys, here's how life works. When I wasn't working, yes I was sad but, I never felt sorry for myself. I knew that if i learned, I would be a lot more marketable. So I ran to the library and taught myself so many things, and by the time I was working on my brother's video, I knew enough to make it look pretty good (not amazing, but good.) And now I'll probably start a side business doing that. FOCUS! FOCUS! FOCUS! Learning something new. IT'S never a waste of time.

Big Hugs to all of you, and thanks from the bottom of my Dominican heart for reading this.


HUGS,

DE

Hola People!

Hey people,

My next post after this one will be my 300th! Yippee, But I'm sad to say i won't be posting till next week. I am doing a special video for my brother for his 30th Birthday and the editing process is insane. I rounded up all his friends, had them talk about how much they love him and what he means to them. Since times are rough, this was the best I could do for him. I've also got footage of him when we were kids that I'm adding. I hope he loves it. I think he will! Anyway, next week will be the 300th post. We're having crazy crazy giveaways, from Lancome, to Clarisonic, to Hair straghteners. You guys will be thrilled.

So I'll see you next week.

PS. If times are rough (like they are for me) give appreciation as a present. Send a beautiful letter or do what I'm doing and make a video of everyone that appreciates your special person.

Big Hugs,

DE
