Boutiqu-ie Cheap : Move Over Fred Segal!

Save your gas money, road rage energy and valet parking fee…there’s no need to hit Fred Segal’s this Mother’s Day because Beauty.com has all the designer home fragrances in one cart. What?? You heard me right…you can get Voluspa (one of my favorite home fragrance lines) at Beauty.com with free shipping and you can pay with paypal if you like! Plus you will get super competitive pricing and won’t have to pay for Melrose or Santa Monica rent overhead! You might not get the swanky looking bag, but who cares?? These candles are priced between $8 and $22, and you KNOW you can’t get that on Melrose Avenue!

Philosophy’s Unconditional Love Says it All

Ahhh, a Mother’s Day Gift with a message. What better way to send a mushy message, without sending a mushy message? Philosophy’s Unconditional Love will actually do just that for those of us who have challenges in communicating our feelings verbally, and with a gift like this, you can probably save money on getting a cheesy card where you have to write something considerate and might make you nervous, I know I get nervous when I have to write something mushy. Shown here: Philosophy’s Unconditional Love Fragrance Spray, Philosophy’s Perfumed shower gel, shampoo and bubble bath all in one, and Philosophy’s Unconditional Love Firming Body Emulsion.

And as always, I get all my beauty stuff from Beauty.com because they have free shipping, free samples, the best price and you can pay with paypal. Yea!

Coming Up Peachy

Ah, it’s that time of year again…where your gift will be the epitome of how good of an offspring you are in the realm of impressing your mother. Sigh. My mom is super hard to buy for, so I thought I would start putting up some ideas of gifts giving, and stating why they would make good gifts based on my own opinions, and then by the end of the week make my decision as to what I am going to get. And btw, my gifts are usually a hit after long and stressful thought LOL!

Today, we have the L’Occitane Peach Blossom set. And here is why I am recommending/considering giving this: There is NOTHING I despise more than getting one of those amazing looking spa gift baskets (like from costco or jcpenny) and then once you get it home, discover that the ingredients and products are horrible and full of artificial perfumes and alcohol that will dry your skin out.

On the OTHER hand, if you give something that is truly an amazing product like L’occitane ( which based on the price is something that I would never buy for myself) and the recipient realizes what a GREAT and luxurious item that it is, you will get rave reviews!! Plus I try to give gifts that I would love to receive myself…and if I could get a L’Occitane gift set rather than a cheap-o synthetic poufy set, I would be one happy mama!
