These new “Essentials” kits over at Nordstrom come in three flavors, based on your skin needs. Each has a full size moisturizer, and not quite full sizes of serum, Night Repair, and cleanser.

  • Prevention Essentials for Normal to Combination Skin (pictured below): DayWear Plus Multi-Protection Anti-Oxidant Creme SPF 15 (full size, 1.7 oz), Idealist Pore Minimizing Skin Refinisher (0.5 oz), Advanced Night Repair Recovery Complex (0.5 oz), and Perfectly Clean Splash Away Foaming Cleanser (1.7 oz). $46, a $90 value

Tomorrow is October 1st, which is the first day of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. So many companies (beauty and otherwise) are offering products that are pink and that donate a portion of the proceeds towards breast cancer research. (I’ve posted a few of my favorites at my Pink Ribbon Beauty page. I’m trying to keep it updated as I come across interesting products.) Through the end of October, Bobbi Brown is offering free shipping on any order that includes a Pink Ribbon item, enter code PINK08 at checkout. This will expire on October 31.
