Macy’s Beauty Event with Shiseido Gift with Purchase, Estee Lauder Bonus at Stage Stores

beautybonus2 Comments

Update: This has sold out. Macy’s is having an online only Beauty Event, through April 30 or while supplies last spend $75 on beauty and receive free shipping and a free drawstring bag filled with 15 samples (a mix of deluxe and packette samples). During this event they have lots of deluxe sample offers and a few gifts with purchase including a nice bonus from Shiseido. While supplies last purchase any two Shiseido treatment products (sorry, facial cottons do not apply) and you can choose a free five piece bonus (four deluxe samples and a red cosmetic bag). The Shiseido bonus is also available in store starting tomorrow.

Note: Macy’s is also having their Friends and Family sale, if you are purchasing non-beauty items enter code FRIEND at checkout to receive an extra 25% off most products throughout the store (see this page for a printable in-store coupon).

Since there is a new Shiseido bonus I wanted to do a mini review on one of my new favorite products, Shiseido White Lucent Brightening Moisturizing Gel. This one is specifically for readers like me who have oily/combination skin or live in super hot climates. Since we moved to south Texas six years ago I have been faithfully using my Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel as my nighttime moisturizer in the summer. I love this product but sometimes I wish it did something more for my skin in addition to superior moisturization. I recently tried a sample of Shiseido White Lucent Brightening Moisturizing Gel ($59.50) and this is a product that I absolutely love. The texture and quick absorption (also no noticeable scent, which I appreciate) are similar to DDMG but this product has the added bonus of being a whitening product (and now that I am over 40, this is a feature I am beginning to need in earnest). I purchased the full size product about a month ago and have been alternating using it at night with the DDMG and I am thrilled with how my skin looks, I highly recommend it!

Update: This has sold out. Today there is a “new” Estee Lauder Gift with Purchase at Stage Stores. Online only while supplies last with any $35 Estee Lauder purchase you will receive a free seven piece gift valued at over $90:
