Organic Mascara by Physician's Formula

I heard about this product from my friend Katie's macrobiotic blog. It sounded too good to be true: organic, a free rebate...could it actually work well too?

Why, yes, it does! (Especially now that I've decided to swap eyeliner for eyelash curling.) On the first day of trying the mascara, it passed an unexpected tear test by not running down my face. On the second day, I was able to remove it with a cotton ball and water without looking like a raccoon.

My only complaint: not sure that I understand the color choices: Black or Ultra Black. Are there really multiple shades of black? Shows you how much I know about beauty products.

As Katie mentioned, the Tinkerbell cuteness of it means that I keep it hidden from my daughters.

So, here I go to complete my rebate form. Make sure to pick up one with a "Try Me Free" sticker on it. You'll need it + your receipt to get your money back. Offer is good through '09.

Free Caffeine + Free Kid Entertainment = Happy Mom

Download the free Barnes & Noble Bookstore app to your iphone. Head out to B&N (I chose to go during story time so the kids could enjoy a freebie too). Click on the B&N app and you'll see a link titled "Free Coffee Offer," click on it and show the code to the cafe cashier for your free hot or iced coffee.

I was told by the cashier that the B&N eReader is cool too. It's a free book reader and includes 5 free books when you sign up. Think I'll check that one out too. (It's also available at the link above.)

Thanks, Barnes & Noble—this is my kind of marketing campaign!
