Biotherm Gift with Purchase

beautybonusLeave a comment

No new bonuses today just lots of coupons with my favorites highlighted at the top. I’m going on vacation tonight and will be blogging from my dad’s computer for the next two weeks so my posts might be abbreviated but I will absolutely let you know if any of the Big 3 has a new bonus or if I find anything really exciting.

If you join Biotherm’s e-club (its free to join, you just sign up on their site) right now you can get a free travel size gift set with any $65 purchase (you’ll also get free standard shipping, but they ship from Canada and its not speedy.) But I love their products and you can only buy them direct from their web site, so its completely worth it. My skin would look like a crocodile’s backside if I didn’t have Biotherm to get me through the winter.

You can choose from 3 women’s gift sets or 3 men’s gift sets:

  • Eau D’Energie for women: Awakening Mist (0.5 oz), Shower Cream (0.7 oz), and Body Cream (0.7 oz)
  • Aquasource for women: Cleansing Gel (0.7 oz), Clarifying Lotion (1.1 oz), Moisturizing Gel (0.5 oz), and Superserum (0.2 oz)
  • Age Fitness for women: Anti-Age Day Cream (0.5 oz), Anti-Age Night Cream (0.5 oz), and Anti-Age Eye Serum (0.01 oz)
  • High Recharge for men: Cleansing Gel (1.4 oz), Facial Exfoliator (1.4 oz), and Anti-Fatigue Moisturizer (0.7 oz)
  • Aquapower for men: Cleansing Gel (1.4 oz), Facial Exfoliator (1.4 oz), and Ultra-Hydrating Gel (0.7 oz)
  • Age Fitness for men: Cleansing Gel 1.4 oz, Facial Exfoliator (1.4 oz), and Anti-Age Moisturizer (0.7 oz)

Enter code BIOG4W to choose one of the women’s sets or enter code BIOG4M to choose one of the men’s gift sets. Both codes expire December 21. (In case you are curious,  my winter skincare survival products from Biotherm are the Hand Cream, Apricot Body Lotion, and SPF Moisturizer).

Free Second Day Shipping

beautybonusLeave a comment

I’ve updated the Holiday Shipping page with new deadlines (and coupons!) for many beauty sites that are now offering free two day shipping so that gifts will arrive before Christmas. The only sites (that I keep track of) that are still offering standard shipping for Christmas arrival are Benefit and Bliss. Everywhere else you will need to use two day shipping (which you can now get at many places for free) to ensure Christmas gift arrival.

With any $35 purchase at beauty.com at amazon.com, you will receive a free travel sized duo of Frederic Fekkai Technician Shampoo and Conditioner (a $12 value). No code is needed but you do need to add the duo to your shopping cart, and the cost will be credited at checkout. You will also get free (standard) shipping.

Also I noticed at Sephora that today one of the picks for a Beauty Insider deluxe sample (which are available to Beauty Insiders who have 100 points in their Beauty Bank) is a travel trio of the Clinique Acne Systems Solution. The 3 piece deluxe sample includes a mini bar of Acne Solutions Antibacterial Face and Body Soap (0.24 oz), and 0.5 oz each of toner and moisturizer – quite a nice little deluxe sample, if you are eager to try that line or already love it and need travel sizes. That will be available while supplies last, the Insider Deluxe Samples rotate on a very regular basis.

Today is the last day for free standard shipping for delivery by Christmas for many companies, and many companies are already offering free 2 day shipping. See my Holiday Shipping page for some deadlines, if you are a last minute shopper. Also the Clinique bonus at Lord and Taylor has been extended through December 24, so if you haven’t picked yours up yet, you still can.

Special Saturday Post: Holiday Coupons and More

beautybonusLeave a comment

Because there are so many coupons and specials floating around this weekend because of the looming holiday shipping deadlines, I thought I’d do a post today (and possibly tomorrow) to alert you to new coupons. Lots and lots of coupons are expiring tomorrow! I’ll update the coupon page again tomorrow but if you want to start shopping early check out the coupon page today. Also if you are planning on sending any gifts from Philosophy or Lancome that you want to arrive before Christmas, tomorrow is the last day for standard shipping.

Clinique is having a special in-store promotion this weekend they are calling the Happiest Weekend of the Year. You can enter to win an iPod Shuffle and they are giving out freebies (I think its a free mini Full Potential Lips lipgloss, and no purchase is necessary). In New York, Miami and Chicago, the counters will be giving free makeovers and a year’s supply of skin care to mothers from Big Brothers, Big Sisters, and offering free gift-wrapping services and free hot chocolate.

Neiman Marcus has 59 gifts with purchase available again (they had them two weeks ago, removed them from the site, and they are back again today) from some wonderful beauty brands including Laura Mercier, Estee Lauder, Dior, Clinique, Viktor & Rolf, and many others, including a nifty bonus from Lancome with a $100 Lancome purchase (its the one with the red train case).

Some brand exclusions apply. Enter code HOLIDAY20 at checkout. Expires December 14.
