Joie x Beauty Guru NYC: Beauty, Fitness & Fashion Event at Joie Soho

I'm excited to share an upcoming New York City event for local blog readers!

Joie is hosting a Girls' Night Out event with blogger Beauty Guru NYC. Beauty Guru NYC will be joined by 3 of her favorite brand creators: Celebrity makeup artist Kirsten Kjaer Weis, celebrity facialist Joanna Vargas and The Bar Method Soho owner Kristin Kelleher. Sounds like it'll be a perfect event to consult with specialists and learn some new tricks.

Giveaway Round-Up: Updated November 30, 2013

Here's a brief round-up of giveaways that I've entered and wanted to share...

Birchbox Special Holiday Perks

The Birchbox Holiday Shop is loaded with limited-time holiday perks (valid through November 28). These perks include promo codes, gifts with purchase and sweepstakes. 

Birchbox will be uploading new perks every day this week, so keep an eye out for the following "Holiday Perk" logo in the Birchbox Holiday Shop: 

To help minimize the amount of time that you spend online shopping, I've compiled the perks that I've found! I listed these promo codes to the best of my ability, so please let me know if you notice any mistakes. Also, although I personally checked all of these codes at checkout, I can not guarantee that they will be in stock when you make your next purchase. If you have any promo codes to share, or if any of the listed codes have expired, please let me know and I'll update the post.

Birthday Freebies Haul (a.k.a. how to get *free* beauty products, food and clothes during your birthday month)

October is my birthday month and I turned 30 this year! I spent the last few years in graduate school, so, I appreciate a good freebie (follow me on twitter @CautiouslyOpRev if you like giveaways). Beauty, food and lifestyle products are my favorite types of freebies. Luckily, several brands give out birthday freebies. Please note that some of these birthday freebies are only available at retail stores and/or require a purchase.

This entire birthday haul only cost $8 ($6 for the two Joie knit camisoles & $2 for the Godiva pumpkin spice pecan bark)!

Free Beauty Haul!

During the month of May, I was lucky enough to attend 4 different beauty events. I get excited about attending these events because I love trying new products and learning about beauty. Complimentary goodie bags were generously given to all guests at these events.
