Beauty Coupons

beautybonus8 Comments

No new gifts today, and only a few new coupons. Just a quick note on my schedule, the next few days are quite busy for me so I may not be posting frequently or at all. I will absolutely post next Wednesday and I am already compiling a list of Beauty Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals (it is very sparse right now but I will begin my research this weekend in earnest). It has been slow the last couple of days and I anticipate not much new until next weekend. Two exceptions: Clinique Bonus Time is due to start at Saks on the 22nd, and the Nieman Marcus Scent Event begins in store on Sunday (according to their site: “Receive an exclusive clutch and samples with an $85 purchase of fragrances or cosmetics”). I will post those offers as soon as I can after they go live.

Readers, I need your help! As I mentioned yesterday I frequently take very hot baths during the winter. I am looking for a dry oil body spray that does not need to be rubbed in, that I can just spray on my back and legs after I get out of the bathtub. Does anyone have a suggestion? I am currently considering H2O Plus Hydrating Body Gloss but if anyone has a recommendation I would love to hear it!
