P&G beauty, photo shoot essentials, looking fly on a dime style blogWell, the above is a bit deceiving. I'm not exactly gracing anyone's red carpet {just yet!}, but I do have to occasionally get glammed up for TV segments and photo shoots for my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge. Though paparazzi may not be snapping my pics or yours, it's important to have a killer beauty routine to go with any style.

And since everything I do is on a budget, that's where P&G Beauty products come in. You know their brands: Olay, Pantene, COVERGirl, Secret, etc. Instead of dropping major cash on department store beauty buys, P&G keeps me covered before, during and after I need to get glammed up or anytime I'm ready to have all eyes on me.

sample website, pinchme launch

Like most people, I love free stuff and I rarely say no to anything that's free-99. It's not that I'm greedy {not really!}, I just love trying new products and possibly being turned on to something I might love.
So I was excited to hear about the launch of PinchMe. The site is straight forward: sign up by filling out a short profile, receive products for free and complete a short survey about the product after you've tried it.
The Australian company made its U.S. debut last month and it's for the consumer like me who loves to check out something new. I tried it and there are some pros and cons...

beauty gift guide, beauty gift guide 2013
With just three weeks until Christmas, it's time to seriously start buying your holiday gifts. You probably have your list of who you need to shop for, but now the problem is what to actually buy! Some gifts are tricky {especially if a size is involved}, but you really can't go wrong with beauty products.
I love the idea of not just giving someone a single beauty-ful gift, but more like a series of them. Putting together a beauty basket of useful products is easy, affordable and sure to make the recipient feel special.
