Right now online only at Macy’s with any $75 beauty purchase you will receive free shipping and this free 25 piece packette sampler, while supplies last:

At Bon Ton online only while supplies last spend $60 on beauty and you will receive this free nine piece sampler. They still have an Estee Lauder Gift with Purchase, while supplies last.

I also saw this at Nordstrom when I was re-ordering my Shiseido White Lucent Brightening Moisturizing Gel ($59.50; one of my top 3 summer weight moisturizers, the other two being Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel and Boscia Revitalizing Black Hydration Gel). With any Shiseido skincare purchase you will receive a free tote bag plus deluxe samples of Ultimate Cleansing Oil (2.5 oz) and Urban Environment UV Protection Cream SPF 40 (0.5 oz), online only, while supplies last.

I wanted to say thank you to everyone who wrote with get well wishes regarding my arm! I am sorry I haven’t written back to all of you, I’m trying to type as little as possible except to share the beauty deals with you guys! As long as I do not use my arm, it doesn’t hurt (ha! how feasible is that?) but I’m taking it easy and hoping it gets better quickly.
