Store Event

My $3 Saks purchase

by // // Comments off

Here is my $3 Laura Mercier pencil sharpener purchase at Saks online store! Everything else in the picture is free + free shipping! This is my post about this offer.

I made this purchase mainly for the Laura Mercier caviar shadow stick. I am collecting as many as I can, especially the free ones! The full size is 0.05 oz for $29, the sample size is 0.03 oz, then it’s $17.4 value!

You can still get some of the freebies on Saks gift with purchase page here. The Laura Mercier shadow stick is still available. There is a new Clé De Peau Beauté concealer sample available free with any beauty purchase.

Also, take a look the Saks Beauty Sale page, many items are added, such as Clinique, Bobbi Brown, Sisley Paris, and Clarisonic.

If you are Ulta Platinum Member

by // // Comments off

If you are Ulta Platinum member, take a look the 10x points event last year 2016 on 8/22! Select brands and products were 10x points rewards and anything else were 5x points rewards.

ulta 10 pts.png

Here is a spreadsheet of the value of the points, you can also find it on the sidebar. If you buy $100 and are able to get 1000 points, then that’s $50 rewards! It’s like 50% off!

Screen Shot 2017-08-10 at 12.13.33 PM.png

I can’t guarantee the Platinum 10 points Event will happen this year after the 20% off promo expires on 8/19, and I don’t know what products will offer 10x pts rewards, but it’s good to know that it happened last year at the end of August and previous years too!

Currently, 20% off + 3 pts rewards is pretty good too. You just have to calculate, compare and balance based on what you are going to buy.

If you buy $100 now => the saving is $20 + 300 pts($8) => $28

If Platinum member 1000 points event happens:

  • buy $100 =>  1000 pts => $50
  • buy $100 => 500 pts => $17.5

Ulta: 20% off entire purchase!

by // // Comments off

Check your email! I just got 20% off entire purchase at Ulta, including prestige brands and fragrance! Not Valid On CHANEL, Dyson, Services & Urban Decay Naked Heat Palette. Ends 8/19.

And, you can stack this with 2X/3X all purchase(exp 8/19) and 5x pts Murad and Bliss purchase if they are on your rewards page!

My Sephora purchase + $10 credit + more

by // // Comments off

My Sephora purchase ->

  • I made this Sephora purchase on 7/8 with Flash 2-day shipping,
  • after more than 2 days I still didn’t receive the shipment email and became impatient,
  • on 7/12, Sephora sent me an email to credit $10 to my account because of the delay, I didn’t complain before that
  • on 7/13, my package was finally shipped.
  • The liquid soap leaked, I complained, then Sephora shipped me a new kit + a free sample
  • I am happy with Sephora!?

I bought:

My total: $40 + tax + free shipping

Fortunately, the philosophy hand care duo got a box or it could be much messier. About one-quarter of the liquid was leaked out, the lid was way too loose.

BURBERRY Burberry Beauty Box ($35) is available to everyone now at Sephora! Read the reviews(not so great), it seems some ladies got blush instead of the eyeshadow, but I am pretty sure Sephora can sort it out.

My body sunscreens reviews: Supergoop! and La Roche Posay

by // // Comments off

Here are three body sunscreen lotions I am using and finished. They are all chemical sunscreens so there are no white cast issues.

  • Supergoop! Forever Young Body Butter with Sea Buckthorn SPF 40 PA+++ – $34/5.7 oz
    • I am currently using it. I like it the best among the three! The texture is light weight and smooth, absorbs easy, moisturizing but not greasy. It feels like a regular body lotion! It smells good and not strong. I will buy it again!
  • La Roche Posay Anthelios 60 Face & Body Melt In Sunscreen Milk – $35.99/5 oz
    • I finished this tube then started to use Supergoop! Body Butter SPF 40, I know right away that I like the Supergoop! Body Butter better. This La Roche Posay sunscreen is good and protective but heavier than Supergoop body butter and not as melt in well as Supergoop body butter. I will only buy it when there is a really good deal.
  • Supergoop! Everyday Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50 – $32/7.5 oz
    • My husband finished this tube. This one has a slight smell which is similar to the Shiseido sunscreen that I returned to Sephora because of the smell. So, I gave it to my husband, it doesn’t bother him or he just didn’t notice it. It’s the one on the right in the following picture. Either his hands are rough or the ink is weak.
