For all of you mascara-obsessed ladies, tarte has a semi-new product: the Bottoms Up Mascara, specifically designed for your lower lashes. We felt like shelling out 16 bucks for a mascara simply for your bottom lashes may be asking a bit much during this recession, but now there is an incentive to spend! Read to the bottom of the post to find out why!
Although Bottoms Up sounds like the biggest marketing gimmick in makeup history, we actually really heart this product! It's flake-free (YAY) and separates and coats every single mini lash with the perfect amount of mascara! You can now channel your inner Twiggie with grace and ease.... don't your lower lashes deserve the same TLC as the upper ones? We don't discriminate.
PRICE TAG: $16.00
TODAY, if you purchase a mascara from www.tartecosmetics.com, you'll receive a FREE eye lash curler (we're a huge fan of lights, cameras, lashes!).
Enter code: CURLER at check out for free lash curler. Available through www.tartecosmetics.com. Ends tonight!

SAY YES TO...
Yes To Carrots, an all-natural skin, hair and body care line, is hosting a fabulous give-away to celebrate the launch of their new Holiday Collections.
The collections are:
Frosty Loves C Lip Butter Set
Travel with C Shower Essentials
Travel with C Body Essentials
Although I have yet to try the holiday goodies, I am obsessed with a certain lippy from the company: Carrot Lip Butter. It applies effortlessly and keeps lips hydrated and smooth. It's not too matte or too glossy and it's the perfect pre-lipstick treatment (as it will totally moisten the lip area, allowing for easy application of a lipstick). The carrot smell isn't overwhelming yet I feel like it makes it more natural... and I've never had a carrot chap stick before! The organic lippies don't contain any Paraben, Petroleum and Phthalate ingredients. The lip butters also come in mint, berry and melon.
PRICE TAG: $3.69
To celebrate the launch of their Holiday Collection, Yes To Carrots is offering free tickets to the Yes Man flick with Jim Carey (I'm dying to see this movie!). All you have to do, is be the first reader to leave a comment below with what you will say yes to this holiday season...
Give-away starts NOW!

Spoiled Pretty is teaming up with Face Boutique to give away a whole lotta beauty booty.
One winner will be gifted with a goodie bag - filled with the following treats (valued at $71): Peachy Clean Foaming Facial Wash, Fresh Faced Moisturising Gel, Spot Less Blemish Gel, and Sweep Clean Cleansing Wipes.
