Beauty.com x MILLY Game Face Bag

I’m here to give you an excuse to shop on this (rainy here) Friday night. You are welcome. Some of my favorite beauty finds are at Beauty.com (part of drugstore.com). And my experience shopping there has always been a breeze. Now – while supplies last – one purchases of $125 or more the store is offering a MILLY Game Face Bag as a gift with purchase. So shop away, friends… shop away.

The included bag is so darn cute – bold and bright and perfect for spring. It works great as a makeup bag both for travel and every day. Included are 13 beauty samples to round out this GWP value at $145. The samples for you to try:

H2O Plus Night Oasis Oxygenating Rejuvenator Gel
Origins Original Skin Refining Serum
Nuxe Merveillance Expert Normal Skin Minis
bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie DLX Sample
Erno Laszlo White Marble Bar Soap
Phyto Secret de Nuit
ARCONA White Tea Cleanser
Paula’s Choice KP Treatment Cloths
Jurlique Purely Age Defying Serum
Ahava Age-Perfecting Hand Cream
Nick Chavez Plump ‘N Thickening Shampoo
butter LONDON, Nail Lacquer Trout Poute (full sized)
Bliss Fab Foaming Face Wash

I am currently falling in love with Jurlique all over again. The Ahava hand cream is probably one of my all time favorites. And the Bliss foaming face wash is worth it all on its own (sooo good!). Other brands available at Beauty.com include Dr. Brandt, GlamGlow, Somme Institute, bareMinerals, byTerry, and It Cosmetics.

There must be something about springtime – I am getting so many questions about improving skin – from gadgets to serum to retinols. I think we look to this season as a reason to start anew whether it is because we soon will be wearing swimsuits or wearing less makeup. One of the skin care lines my girls are buzzing about is Tatcha, one of my favorites (learn more about the brand here). And now is the time to let your fingers go shopping.

The line just launched their latest – Tatcha: Indigo Enzyme Powder – their gentlest exfoliator yet. Get complimentary Aburitorigami Beauty Papers ($12 value) with any order over $20 at Tatcha with code TREAT2015 through 3/31. Some other finds from around the web:

I have a confession – I don’t love beauty vlogs. But Lisa’s and this one in particular with Alexa is captivating!

Taking a cue from Taylor – I can (and have been) a dating jerk. Time to turn this ship around.

A dreamy neutral outfit.

OMG a cocktail tower on my (future) property? I think yes!

I LOVE MAPS.

This game full of design inspiration will be filling my entire weekend.

Whoa… hello there March. March, you came rushing through the door – February always throws me off with the shorter month. But we shall take you, first month of Spring. Apparently our last hurrah of winter arrives early this AM in the form of snow and ice. Meanwhile, I am dreaming of messy summer hair and a voluminous tunic just like above. To keep you warm and toasty, some finds from around the web:

Don’t miss my favorite sale of the season here.

Amber, my fellow beauty blogger and dear friend, also admits to also hating the chore of blow drying her hair. I have to pick up her favorite staple for speeding things up.

So tempted to overdress and rent this dress for an upcoming event.

I still haven’t quite settled on how I personally feel about having children but this essay was thought provoking. “I love the spare, quiet rooms of my grown-up house.“

My buddy and I totally “ghosted” on Friday with no regrets. What do you think of this practice?

And some favorite finds from Feb below:

Sorry for the brevity of today’s post! Not too much new to report around here except for my continuing need for glowing skin. This look above is so healthy and luxe. I am trying out this new facial oil and so far, each day I am getting a longer-lasting glow and hydrated skin. Stay tuned for the full update! In the meantime, some finds from around the web this week:

This made me seriously LOL – what do you think of February?

Piperlime’s days are numbered… sad… but there are some serious deals to be found here.

Best mid-winter tropical beauty splurge.

This adorable line has me wanting to jump on the romper bandwagon.

I have definitely fallen off the manicure bandwagon. But this manicure above makes me want to get back in the swing of things and on a mani routine again. Speaking of getting things in order…

Not sure if it is Spring Cleaning or an upcoming official entry into my late thirties, but I am getting antsy about home goods. My wine glasses, towels and pillows need a refresh but it was overwhelming to think about replacing all at the same time. Enter One Kings Lane – not a new find but I forgot how great this site is! Such amazing values. I have my eye on this line for throws and pillows. Bonus points for online shopping because the last thing I want to do is hunt down affordable home goods in Tulsa. I’d rather spend my time surfing the web and finding gems like these:

I ordered this jacket because I’d seen it all over fashion blogs and it looked great in photos. Alas, I found it cheap and with a funky fit. So I ordered this dress instead.

I’ve always been a Laurel fan and was thrilled to read her update here.

Blown away by this trick to avoid lipstick/wine glass yuckiness!

This new collaboration is so well curated and sophisticated – I want it all!

This one goes out to Katy and Suzie: What People Really Mean On Tinder.

A burner phone number generator for texting those Tinder men (even though we are obvi totally over Tinder).
