beautybonusLeave a comment

Biotherm has two great new value sets available for sale, and with any purchase you’ll get free shipping with code JUNESHIP through June 11. Registered e-club members also get to choose two extra free deluxe samples at checkout. These new value sets each contain one of my favorite Biotherm products:

  • Milk Ritual Sneak Preview Set: This set contains their perfect-summer-weight, light citrus scent lotion Lait Corporeal Anti-drying Body Milk (full size, 6.76 oz) plus 0.67 oz each of not-even-launched-yet Lait de Gommage gentle exfoliating milk and Lait de Douche cleansing shower milk for $24 (only $2 more than buying just the lotion)
  • Hand and Lip Care Set: This is a full size of their Biomains Hand and Nail Treatment (my all time favorite hand cream) and a full size Aquasource Lip Balm SPF 8 for only $25 (you save $10.50 over purchasing both items separately)
  • They have many other value sets available (including men’s gifts perfect for father’s day!)

This is a 4GB Black Zune, with a car kit and deluxe earbuds, for only $87.77 which includes free shipping (the retail value is over $200). See my earlier post if you want to read about the pink version (which is still available at a decent price) and why I think Zunes are great little MP3 players.
