Update: This is no longer available. Saks is having a Faces of Summer Beauty Event. During this event spend $85 on beauty and you will receive a free two-tone beach tote (no mention of samples) in your choice of pink or blue (see site for codes; you may enter up to five promo codes when shopping online at Saks). They have a handful of bonuses available online during this event including nice gifts from La Mer, Bobbi Brown, Clarins, Jo Malone, and Laura Mercier, plus deluxe sample offers from several other brands. This event ends June 6 or while supplies last.

At Macy’s they have several new deluxe sample offers available, plus a nice six piece bonus from Sue Devitt ($98 value gift free with any $50 Sue Devitt purchase). New to this brand? They have a very nice value set for $49.50 (an $80 value), and the shopping cart added the bonus to my cart even though the total was only $49.50, plus shipping came up free as well.

I received a postcard in the mail that the Estee Lauder summer gift with purchase (skincare or foundation purchase required) will soon be available at Macy’s. Their gift has a different tote from everyone else (dark blue with a pretty print) plus these inclusions: Two full size lipsticks, mini mascara, cleanser, eye makeup remover, and your choice of serum (ANR, Perfectionist, or Idealist). This gift is scheduled to start in store on June 7, I will post complete details as soon as I see it available online.

Sorry this is so brief today, I hope to be able to do a full post tomorrow.
