Through Thursday (tomorrow), get 25 percent off all online purchases at the cosmetic company's website.

MAC's eyeliners are great-- smooth, bright and long-lasting. I love their Penultimate eyeliner, a precise liquid pen-style liner that offers steady strokes. As for lipsticks, I say glam up your pout with Spice it up! lipstick, a brown berry shade that gets the party on.

These days many of us don't want to buy anything that will look dated or too trendy, but when the price is right it is far less of a gamble.

I just love the Petra Peeptoe Cut-Out Wedge in patent leather. Check out the stylish cut-out wrapped wedge heel. It has a ridged leather sole and 3 1/4-inch heel.

The original price was $129. Most folks see the $39.99 on the Website, but if you enter the code FRIENDS at checkout, you can get them for only $27.99. To order, Click here.

Better hurry at this price!

Don't we all need an excuse these days to spend money that we feel we don't have? Well, here's a good cause. Shop RalphLauren.com and you can save 15 percent off all purchases between now and April 25. And your fave charity wins, too. Ralph will donate 15 percent to one of seven charities.

You don't have to buy one of Lauren's pricey goods. This Island crewneck tee is a sexy look -- with its long, lean and ruched down the sides alternative to a traditional T-shirt.

OK, this isn't a how-to cocktail party primer for those who don't know a mojito from a martini, but it can help break the ice.

The questions in this game from theboxgirls.com are fun such as: Who should make the first move? Do you have any frenemies? Would you intentionally let a date beat you in sports or games?

It comes in a gift box (at left) with a snug top and 52 glossy cards. Playful, original illustrations with clever, engaging and entertaining questions. The price is $19.95, but Shop-o-Matic fans can get a 10 percent discount if they order from the Website and add the code SUN10in the coupon code box in the bottom left of the shopping cart page.

Those of us of a certain age or those who love Breakfast at Tiffanys have a special place in our hearts for the elegant Audrey Hepburn.

I just adore the look of this sheath with beaded neckline from Chadwicks. It comes in prints and solids in a variety of colors that look so chic. The textured cotton dress is fully lined in polyester.
Regular $69.99, it is on sale for $49.99.

I found a promotional code -- CH25H -- in a fashion magazine for any order over $49 until April 23 and get free shipping. To check it out, Click here.
