I bought my Estee Lauder ANR almost 3 weeks ago. Here is my previous post about this deal. I got the 7 pcs EL free gift set and 10% off from Nordstrom. I just can’t pass deal like that! ANR regular price is $62 for 1 oz. I paid $55.8 plus tax, shipping is free with no minimum.

I’ve used ANR for many years, I’ve also used a lot of other serums, but I alway come back to ANR. I like the texture, easy to absorb on the skin, no strong smell, no break out, and most importantly – I wake up with bright, smooth and even toned skin!

This is what I bought – Estee Lauder ‘Advanced Night Repair’ Synchronized Recovery Complex II – $55.8.

The free EL gift set.

A close look at the palette. This palette is good for any occasions. EL eyeshadow quality is good and high! They are easy to put on, to blend, and to stay on long enough. If you buy them, they are expensive.

3 free samples from Nordstrom.

About the same time I purchased my EL ANR, I made my Sephora purchase – Soap & Glory Hand Food™ Hand Cream – $3.78 (after 10% off ) + tax. The sale price is $4.2 and regular price is $8. Shipping is free since I have Flash 2-day shipping subscription.

This is the only thing I got when other girls were crazy in buying things at Sephora for the 10% or 15% off! There are always deals and discounts out there, I just don’t want to buy things that I don’t need at that moment. I always need hand cream and it’s on sale, after 10% off  it’s even better!

Sephora will stop carrying this brand as I heard, so Soap & Glory products are all on sale at Sephora.

The free 3 samples I got. Also, Sephora sent a bunch of fragrance card.

Yay! FREE samples filled bag time again at Beauty.com! This is a great time to try out the new beauty products. Besides the big sample bag, you can also combine it with another 3 free gifts offer!
