beautybonusLeave a comment

No new gifts today but a couple of things worth mentioning. Plan ahead to visit your local Origins counter next Thursday (Earth Day) to get a free full size cleanser. According to their Facebook page, “bring in any empty cosmetic tube, bottle or jar – regardless of brand – to any U.S. Origins Retail Store or counter to be recycled or used for energy recovery and Origins will give you a free full-size cleanser: choose either Checks & Balances or A Perfect World. One per customer while supplies last so hurry in on 4/22 and get yours!” Origins will also have an online only one day offer (on April 22), a free full size cleanser with any $30 purchase. And when you purchase any Origins A Perfect World Moisturizer between April 18-30, Origins will plant a tree on your behalf.

It is once again beauty sample week at QVC.
