Shu Uemura Value Set and Holiday Products

Shu Uemura is offering a limited number of these Best of Shu Uemura value sets, available only while supplies last. This kit is a $66 value and you can purchase it for only $42 and it includes:

  • Eyelash Curler
  • Ultimate Expression Mascara in Black
  • Mini Gloss Unlimited in shade WN 283 S (a wine shade)
  • Cleansing Beauty Oil Premium A/O
  • Black mesh cosmetic bag

Shu Uemura Best of Shu Uemura set

Shu Uemura also has some very cute holiday items. Of the several offerings my favorites are this palette which I think is just adorable, the Tsumori Chisato Limited Edition Cat Couture Palette (there is a Ribbon Palette too with different colors, they are $65 each) and this Tsumori Chisato Limited Edition Compact Mirror with pouch ($15).

Shu Uemura Tsumori Chisato Limited Edition items

I looked around and found two Shu Uemura coupons (see below) for free shipping plus samples, depending on how much you are spending, plus you can choose an additional sample at checkout. Many of the holiday gift items are also available at Sephora (friends and family sale running now, 20% off with code FF2009) and Nordstrom and I’m sure other department stores.

SkinCareRx is running a Fall Sale through November 8. You can get 20% off your purchase with coupon code FALLSALE20 at checkout, and the discount is also valid at their sister sites SkinBotanica.com and Apothica.com. If you’ve been waiting to buy a Clarisonic they are included in the sale ($156 with the coupon, $119.20 for the Mia) and SkinCareRx only charges sales tax on orders that ship to Utah (unlike Sephora; in my case that’s an almost $13 difference for the full size unit) and shipping is free when you spend over $49.

The Bloomingdale’s Beauty Benefits event is still running (free silver tote with $125 beauty purchase), they have many gifts with purchase including a nice Lancome one, and they’ve added a new Laura Mercier gift. With any $85 Laura Mercier purchase you’ll receive this free bonus: Full-size Wheat Eye Basic, Mini Tea Rose Lip Colour, Mini Radiance Tinted Moisturizer, Mini Flawless Skin Eye Cream, and an Exclusive Laura Mercier Bronze Cosmetic Bag.

Both codes expire December 15 and each code will work once per customer. And I just learned today that you can combine those codes with the code DECEMBER on the last page of checkout to also receive free shipping!
