Sorry to our gentlemen readers, but this one is for the ladies. We already told you about some of our great finds at Shecky’s Girls Night Out, but at the time we didn’t include Bluefire Cosmetics, a discount retailer that sells premium brand makeup at wholesale prices (e.g., Bobbi Brown lip pencil in soft rose [...]

Love saving money? Of course you do! So here’s yet another group-buying site to help keep money in your wallet while enjoying the best of NYC - BuyWithMe. We were lucky enough to meet some of the people behind this new site at Shecky’s Girls Night Out, and in honor of its soon-to-be launch in [...]

By now, you’ve probably come across some of our favorite deal sites - ScoopSt, Dealist and Groupon.  Well, get ready for a new site to join the mix - InBundles.  Unlike some of these other sites that feature shopping and exercise deals (Seriously?

Ladies, listen up. I just started paying attention to a new site - The Fairest - which offers cosmetics at a huge discount for a limited time only. Right now Anastasia and Skin Nutrition are up for grabs. You can get these cosmetics for up to 75% off, depending on the deal. Yesterday I purchased items [...]
