**Sephora Splurge*** Chic Prints in Anchor & Fun Free Spree


After the Skinny Cow event on Saturday and brief moments at the High Bar Roof Top BBQ soiree,  full of pretty people with fat wallets, my friends and I decided we wanted to go on a free spree.



We went to a few Sephora's trying to score the mini mascara from the Dior Show promotion from last week.  While window shopping my eyes caught on these nail prints.  Not as expensive as Minx but a close knock-off, Sephora's 'Chic Prints' are a nice alternative for those who don't have $100 to spend on a trip at a salon.  Minx'd nails are crazy expensive at $10 a nail. Geez, way to much to spend on nails that have the tendency to chip, break, or crack.





This is a nice alternative if your on the cheap but want to look the part.  For only $15 you can get 16 precut nail strips.  They come in 8 different designs.  We'll probably see more in the future. Its by the Opi brand but they say "brewed by Minx" in the back of the packaging.  I guess a friendly ode to the original makers that made these fancy nail designs famous.




Some other free things I scored.  I keep telling everyone you have to sign up for Aveda. They have lots of free product samples and tons of locations.  Last time I went I had a wonderful conversation with a worker, refreshing tea to sip on, and a hand massage with their Caribbean therapy lotion.  It was so relaxing and I didn't have to open my wallet to get that moment of bliss.


  • 2 Caribbean Therapy Body Creme
  • 2 Damage Remedy Hair Care kits containing a Shampoo, Conditioner, & Treatment
  • 1 Damage Remedy Daily Hair Repair
  • 1 Green Science Firming Eye Creme
