Beauty Freebies

Happy New Year Chicago!

One of my MANY resolutions this year, is to freshen up my look. But lets face it, looking good has a hefty price! So now that we are a bit settled into January, I want to share with you some fun beauty freebies I have discovered to help kick off the new year. Enjoy!

1. Mario Tricoci 2012 Beauty Resolution Event

I went to this in 2011 with my girlfriends and it was an absolute blast! Mario Tricoci provided appetizers, discounts, complimentary services and goodie bags. Last year I received an express manicure, a mini massage and a conditioning treatment with a blow out! I cannot wait to see what they are offering for 2012. Check here to see when your local Mario Tricoci salon is hosting their event and RSVP by calling 847.202.4151.  

tip: You may have to leave a voice mail, but they will call you back within a couple days with confirmation.

2. A FREE Aveda Invati Pack

I came across this little freebie on beauty blog, Two Chix Beauty Fix.

3. Birthday Benefit Brow Goom (try saying that three times fast!)

Stop by your nearest Benefit Brow Bar (a local department store, Ulta or Benefit boutique), flash any valid ID and receive a complimentary brow grooming session. What a perfect little way to get glammed up for your special day!

tip: Call ahead of time to ensure a brow stylist is present.

4. Complimentary Make Up Application

If you ever have to replenish a blush, an eyeshadow or even your whole make up bag, why not get a complimentary makeup application out of it? Save your re-stocking for the same night you have an event, a date or just a girls night out. Pop by any makeup counter that same day and ask them to show you some products and apply your item of interest. Or you can ask them if they have time to do a specific area such as your eyes, lips, etc. Just make sure you are making a purchase and it is something they actually apply. All that’s left is your outfit!

Do you have any beauty saving tips? Know of any fun upcoming events? Please share!
