Let Us Help With Halloween

Here in Austin, there are about a million great places to get costumes. Between the thrift stores, Party City stores, seasonal Halloween Express stores, Torrid, Tabu Lingerie, and Austin Halloween haven Lucy in Disguise, there is no shortage of places to find a great costume. But what about the makeup? The nail polish? The fake eyelashes? The hair products?

We are stocked to handle your holiday beauty needs. If you are rocking the Snooki poof this year (Jersey Shore costumes are the most popular costume this year) we have plenty of super hold hair spray and back combs to get your teased poof just right.



What about your Joan from Mad Men costume? Come in and check out Jane Iredale's cosmetics. They'll give you that perfect natural glow and defined eye makeup that was essential in the 1960's!



Since Halloween is on Sunday, you probably won't get a chance to wear your costume to work. How about showing your holiday spirit with some fun orange and black nail polish?


Stop by any location to pick up those last minute Halloween needs. As always, follow us on Twitter, like us on Facebook and keep up with the blog for more helpful tips, in-store events, and of course specials. Help us Keep Austin Local!

Three Great Reasons to Follow The Beauty Store

Recently, we have begun looking for more ways to connect with our customers. We love the amazing people that come to our stores, and we want to stay in contact with them as much as possible so they know when their favorite products are on sale, when new ones come, and when we are holding special events. To get even more connected, we have recently started a Facebook page and a Twitter account. While we know there is probably already a lot of people in your online world, there are three very good reasons we would like to be there too:

1- Sales! Let's be honest: There is nothing more exciting (well, maybe winning the lottery) than getting a great deal. We shop the sale racks at stores, check for a bargain on eBay or Craigslist, and (if your like me) read those sales flyers in the Sunday newspaper to see if anything good is on sale. We post all of our sales on our Facebook and Twitter pages, and even do some impromptu daily specials through Twitter. Imagine reading your Twitter feed and finding out your favorite shampoo and conditioner is buy one, get one free that day. It's like that lottery, but with less paperwork!

2- Events! Whether it's a hair styling benefit or a makeup event with professional artists, The Beauty Store has a ton of events that are fun for customers and give back to the community. We use our online presence to get the word out about these special events, and make sure that all of our customers know that something out of the ordinary is happening.

3- Information! We read a ton of great articles, see press releases about new products coming out, and follow some really amazing makeup artists and hair stylists. When we see great information, we want to pass it along to our customers. Whether it's how to get the perfect DIY pedicure or the hot new hair styles for the season, you can bet it will be on our Facebook page and in our Twitter stream.
