The daily steal: Big bag of beauty, $35

We just learned of a whopper of a steal from The Shopping Channel (theshoppingchannel.com). The Summer Beauty Bag is 24 products tucked into a tote bag and it’s selling for a mere $35. (The tote itself isn’t that exciting, but you can always take it to the beach.) Yes, most of the products are samples, but many are excellent samples at that. We found 15ml of a Perricone MD Advanced Face Firming Activator (the full-size 59 ml goes for $130), Pürminerals Mudd Masque, a jar of Perlier Body Cream and Lip Fusion XL’s collagen plumper among the goodies--all in the perfect travel size. The seven full-sized products include Ojon’s Revitalizing Mist (normally $30 on it’s own), Nick Chavez hairspray and Skinn’s eye, lip and cheek colour. Also in the bag is a $35 gift card to use toward the purchase of any of the products in the kit. You really can’t go wrong here.
