Meilily Free Stuff: KMS Haircare Set at Ulta
Meilily Free Stuff Alert!
Get a Free 3-piece KMS Haircare Set!
Did you spot the special Ulta coupon page in the latest InStyle Makeover issue? It’s easy to miss, but inside the current issue of InStyle Makeover, which features Vanessa Hudgens on the cover, there is a somewhat hidden special offer from Ulta for a free deluxe trial set of three KMS California hair products!
How to Get a Free KMS California Hair Product Set at Ulta:
This Ulta KMS offer does not mention a minimum purchase requirement nor does it require you to purchase any KMS products! How cool is that?! Oddly, the KMS offer looks just like any of the other ULTA ads peppering the pages of this issue of InStyle Makeover.
Once you find it, simply tear out and bring the KMS offer page from the InStyle Makeover issue to an Ulta store, and get a generous KMS hair product set free through October!

Toning Product Pick: Bliss Love Handler
Monday, August 3rd, 2009 | Beauty Tips, Free Stuff, Product Picks, Shoes, Skincare | 1 Comment
Summer won’t be over for a while yet, so if you want to tighten up your swimsuit/short-skirt body, here’s a product for you!
Bliss’ Love Handler is great for toning not only the tummy area and love handles but also, I find, the derriere (bum) and thigh areas.
Use it wherever you choose! The slighty minty cooling sensation makes it feel like something’s working, but isn’t strong enough to feel burning or distracting. Whewh!
I was surprised to see toning results after my first use, but I suppose it could have just been my imagination. Either way, I think this stuff works, so that’s pretty good for skeptical me! YMMV, of course, but I like using Bliss Love Handler for smoother tighter skin.
Don’t forget this savings code: Get 20% off fuzz fighting and body toning bestsellers at blissworld.com. Enter code HAIRY! Offer ends 8.9.09.
Or, better yet, you can browse the wide selection of fitness shoes at Blissworld.com, and pick out a pair of raved-about Swiss MBT shoes on sale for only $149… and get a Free full size Love Handler with your order! Get a FREE love handler with a $100 purchase at blissworld.com. Enter code FREELUV. Offer ends 8.9.09.
Meilily loves… Bliss Love Handler!
P.S. Meilily’s Product Tip: When you use Love Handler, you’ll probably want to wash your hands after applying it to your body so you don’t get any toning minty-ness in your eyes! Just a thought!
