OK, so this may only appeal to 50% of the population and I know this doesn’t count as a “to-do in L.A.” but I had to share it. Sephora is offering an online promotion where if you spend over $40 at their site, you can get 12 deluxe samples and their beauty book (jam-packed with beauty tips, trends and news) for free, while supplies last. But wait, there’s more, at checkout you can also choose to get three more free samples. All you have to do is enter “Treasure05″ in the promotions code box at checkout.
Samples include: 0.06 oz Caudalie Eye Contour Cream, Cargo Liquid Eye Makeup Vial (shades may vary), 0.4 oz Comptoir Sud Pacifique Vanille Abricot Eau de Toilette, City Lips Plumping Treatment (colors may vary), Hard Candy Super Shine Lip Gloss Key Chain in Baby Doll (sheer shimmering pink), Urban Decay XXX Shine Lip Gloss in Carney (cotton candy pink), 1.4 oz Kinerase Gentle Daily Cleanser, 0.05 oz Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gio Pour Homme Eau de Toilette, .05 oz Tommy Bahama Eau de Parfum, 1 oz L’Occitane Honey Harvest Foaming Jelly, 0.17 oz Fresh V-tonic Body Cream, and a 0.17 oz Fresh V-tonic Foaming Shea Butter Body Cleanser, all tucked safely into a chic, satin drawstring bag. It’s great for taking along on trips.
What did I get? One of the things I bought I had read about on Daily Candy. It’s Lancome’s Extreme Instant Extensions Lengthening Mascara that promises the effect of eyelash extensions. So instead of forking over $250 to get fake eyelash extensions, you can just pay $22 for mascara that promises the same thing.

Perusing LATIMES.com’s CalendarLive, I came across this insightful article on personology by cocktail by Nicole Roberge. That’s right, how to judge a girl by the drink she orders. Apparently the writer interviewed men about what they think certain cocktails say about a woman. Besides stating the obvious of the refined wine drinker or the fun-loving margarita lover, it covers Sea Breeze sippers and Red Bull/Vodka party girls. [...]
