Also, Bobbi Brown Cosmetics is offering free 2nd-day shipping until December 20, 2008 (midnight ET) with code 2DAY.

Meilily Featured Shop: The Perfumed Court

Meilily Featured Shop: The Perfumed Court
Meilily Featured Shop: The Perfumed Court
If you are familiar with the power that scents have to transform a mood, lift the spirits, or brighten a day, then you will understand my latest obsession with perfumes and fragrances. It is not an obsession with just any and all fragrances, but an obsession with finding just the right fragrance to trigger that “ahhhh” response.
Here is where a particular online shop comes in handy: The Perfumed Court is an online fragrance shop that really helps me pursue my fragrance search (a.k.a. obsession) without breaking the bank. The Perfumed Court features a mind-blowing array of international fragrances, including niche fragrances that are harder to find and also fragrances that are not available in the United States. The special part about The Perfumed Court is that they sell decants, taking original fragrances and carefully transferring them into smaller containers for resale.
Since I have always had a hard time justifying shelling out a bunch of money for a full-size bottle of perfume that I would only wear a few times, buying perfume had become for me simply impractical until recently. After finding and trying fragrance decants from The Perfumed Court, I have become a decant convert. Now, I will never buy a regular size bottle of fragrance again, unless it is affordable and unless I also love it.

Vincent Longo Makeup 30% Off at Sephora!
Monday, December 8th, 2008 | General, Makeup, Sales, Stores | No Comments
I remember back when Sephora started phasing out one of my favorite cosmetics brands, Becca. Sephora placed Becca products on sale at a great discount until they all sold out and disappeared forever from Sephora shelves.
Now, Sephora is similarly phasing out the Vincent Longo makeup line, and Vincent Longo products are currently on sale for 30% off, both in-store and online at sephora.com.
Vincent Longo products range from innovative creme-to-powder products with patented technology (Water Canvas line) to gel-stain lip and cheek tints. The line even includes some sparkly (Wet Diamond) eye shadows for evenings out.
Even at 30% off, Vincent Longo products may not be cheap by any standards, but some products are starting to sell out already. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
(By the way, if Sephora doesn’t have what you’re looking for, VincentLongo.com is offering 25% off orders over $75 until Dec. 24, 2008)
Happy Shopping! from Meilily
