Ok ladies yesterday I found amazing gel eyeliner and it was only $7.50 at Kroger. Maybelline New York Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner in Blackest Black. This eyeliner is amazing it comes with its own angled brush allowing for easy application.

It applied with a smooth application and even coverage absolutely no clumping!! Now you know I love it!! It wears well all day and the brush helps for that perfected cat eye. Try it you will not be disappointed!!

I like my skin to look fresh, supple and moisturized not to mention feel nice too. Juggling work, kids, and a great marriage I have little time and funds to treat myself to the spa (I don’t roll like that yet). I’m always searching and researching for the best possible solution at a great price that I can do at home.

For just $2.69 at Target you can purchase St. Ives Exfoliating Apricot Body Exfoliation and create your own home spa treatment. I typically use this product weekly to help remove dry and flaky skin. The St. Ives formula is not only affordable but it works and leaves my skin feeling soft and supple.

All you have to do is after cleansing the body apply a quarter size dollop in the palm of your hand emulsify this on the body in circular motions. Continue this process all over the body to ensure maximum exfoliation. Once completed rinse the body, and make sure to moisturize.

You will be thrilled with the results, and so will anyone else who gets to enjoy your soft supple skin.

Beauty Love!!

A few weeks ago I was headed to Arlington, Georgia for a cousin’s wedding. I know what you’re thinking. “Where and what the heck is Arlington, Georgia?”  It’s the hometown of my mom, and yes it is country.  But I love it cause I’m a country girl at heart. Just ask my husband. Anywho, Columbus, Georgia is the midpoint.  So Iil man and I stopped there for lunch and for some B.S.(Bargain Shopping).  Over the years, I learned from my mom the Kmart on Macon Road always has great finds for low prices.  And man did they have some that day.  I’ll share all of them in the coming weeks.  But today, I’ll share with you my favorite summer flat sandals which have made my 1st Bargain of the Week list.

The Route 66 Women’s Malaga Gladiator Thong Sandal is super, duper cute!!!! I purchased the Silver Glitter color.  They are the perfect shoe if you want comfortable bling for your tootsies.   I was a bit nervous about how the thong would feel between my toes, but they turned out to fit and feel very good.  I wore them last Friday and they received rave reviews.  The glitter did come off a bit on my feet. So, I’m a little concerned about how much glitter the shoes will have by the end of summer.  But for $12.99, who can complain?  Oh yeah, if you’re not feeling the Silver Glitter, the Malaga Gladiator Thong Sandal also comes in black, orange, and green.  Click here to view the sandals on Kmart’s website:

Tell me what you think! And send me your new favorite summer flats.

Peace. Love. Sales.

So about me.  I’ve been married for almost five years to my high school sweetheart.  And yes, my hubby still gives me butterflies. We met my sophomore year, fell in “puppy love”, broke up my 1st semester of college, reunited my senior year, and married 2 years after I graduated. Whew, you got the short version.  In August, we welcomed our 1st child, a beautiful baby boy who is the love of our lives.

I’ve worked as a marketing professional for an upscale beauty brand since college. I absolutely, freakin love my job.  I bleed purple and silver if you know what I mean. (Hint. Hint. Wink. Wink.) My interests are passions are plentiful.  I’m avid dancer. I’m a media junkie.  And I adore beauty, fashion, particularly jewelry, and home décor.  But my pockets don’t always agree with my adorations.  The great thing is I learned at an early age you can be frugal and still look fabulous, and still create a stunning home.  Thanks to my mom who is a DIE HARD thrift store shopper and bargain hunter, I have mastered the art of cheap chic.

I started Brown Bella Bargains because I know women are on the hunt for the best beauty and lifestyle bargains.  You, like me, don’t want to compromise style just because you’re on a budget. And while there are numerous television shows, magazine editorials, and online sites that feature gorgeous finds for under $100, I’m still looking for those same finds for less than that!  Sorry! I can’t always afford a pair of $69 jeans or a $30 necklace.  I’ll share my experiences, and my bargains too. I invite you to do the same. Remember, Brown Bella Bargains is for you.  Read it. Share it. Love it. Get ready to experience Beauty & Life for a Bargain!

Peace. Love. Sales. Cyn-The Bargain Bella Sidenote: Lil’ man and I were browsing in Kohl’s this weekend. All of their jewelry was 40%-60% off.  I was all set to make my purchase of earrings, rings, and necklaces when my sweet baby let me know he was hungry.  Unfortunately, I had to put away my jewels because the checkout line was waaaaaayyyyyy too long. So, if you’re looking for some cute accessories for Easter, then be sure to head to Kohl’s this weekend!  You might just find me there…minus baby.

I’m a busy working mother, wife, sister and friend who has tried it all when it comes to beauty, and beauty products. After growing up in a cookie cutter world and not knowing that I was beautiful (from other than my parents), I started my search young for all things beauty. I have learned what works for me, and how to work it. This has come in handy since I’ve been a cosmetologist for over 12 years, and a cosmetology instructor for over 11years and in my industry we always have to look good.
I’ve worked in the professional beauty industry my whole career and my love, and passion for it grows every day. So when something new comes on the market I usually am the first to try it; shampoo, conditioners, treatments, skin care, nail polish, cosmetics, hair brushes, make-up brushes, styling irons, hair color… you get the idea.
I was thrilled when my darling girlfriend asked me to write and share my experiences on this blog. If you are reading this let me start by saying I’m not a professional writer, just a very opinionated woman who loves to share. Hopefully this will give my family a break so I can channel all my beauty opinions here .
Please enjoy !!
XOXO Rebecca Mariolis
