Today only, 20% off on Beauty Sage!  Coupon code is FALL20, after today use FALL15 to get 15% sat and sun.  I'm glad I waited to get the sample boxes, and I'm stocking up on OLO!
There is still the $25 for $50 deal on Lifebooker Loot as well. I bought that one yesterday since it ends in 2 or 3 days. At first I was angry when I saw this but then I realized the two wouldn't have stacked anyway, so the Lifebooker deal is still a better deal.

I had never heard of Lifebooker.  My order ended up being $102, and I got a free sample box.  My savings was $21 and I got free shipping ($7.95), which you can't get with the Lifebooker deal so they equal out about the same.

Yes, if you're making a very large purchase it isn't worth it, but if you're making a purchase in roughly the $50-60 range, the Lifebooker savings are about 35%, so it's a better deal.

I ordered the Shea Terra Rose Hips Black Soap and Argan Green Coffee Eye Cream yesterday, super stoked to get them!

I haven't used the Argan Cream, but am in love with the Rose Hips soap!.  I'm interested to hear about the eye cream, besides the Rose Hips soap and the mini shea whippers I haven't had great luck with Shea Terra.  That's why I was so excited about this deal, you can always get 30% off ST, but I can never find codes for One Love Organics.

That's true! But I hadn't tried any of the other brands, or some, like Kahina, I know show up on places like Hautelook every now and then so you can get a better deal there.

The ST eye cream stood out to me because they said that it's great for early prevention of signs of aging, and I know that that's one of the benefits of argan oil. As someone who's only 24 and has no fine lines nor any bags/circles under my eyes, it seems like most eye creams don't offer what I'm looking for, which is hydration (I don't get enough sleep) and early prevention. Hoping this will work well for me!

 
Nordstrom is doing sample Saturday tomorrow and will be handing out samples of Burberry Body perfume and Bobbi Brown BB Cream! No coupon or purchase necessary !

 
there are sanitation steps that any Sephora cast member should be taking to ensure proper hygiene standards especially with testers!  If you are concerned about a specific product being unsanitary then truly by all means please do not  be afraid to say "can you please make sure you sanitize the product before you make the sample"  and the cast member should be doing this any way but it doesnt hurt to speak up after all the client is always right and if for some reason the cast member is being rude in some way about it please tell the management because Sephoras standards are high and the cast should be upkeeping them with out asking.

As for sampling eyeshadows or blushes Sephora cast does whats called a "happy ghost" lol and they take a sponge or a puff wrapped in tissue and just get a bunch of pigment on it so you can properly test it and then stick it in a sample bag and label it.  I have also shaved some eyeshadows as well into a little sample jar.  Knowledge is power now go get those samples!!;o)

Kyoku for men has a free month of their subscription program available and my boyfriend received his today!

You get 7 FULL SIZED products and they ship very fast (maybe 3 days). 

There is a link on their page that says "free stuff" and you go through and put your email in and make your password. Then it asks for your info, yes you do put your card info in, but that is only to keep it on file for the next box. If you want to continue with monthly boxes you can, but you don't have to. I called their customer service and asked a bunch of questions just to make sure it was completely free and legit (which it is!)

I am going to cancel the monthly subscription because this is so much product ($60 worth) and my boyfriend will not go through it in a month.



Thank you!!! I just grabbed this up for my bf!

Can you cancel thru the website? or do you have to call? 

 
I had e-mailed Arcona about the cranberry toner, and they replied yesterday they'll send me the toner and anything else I'm interested in.

 
Just wondering.. Has anyone received their samples from Gloss Moderne yet?

I just looked in my inbox and the email saying they'd send stuff out was dated 9/07/2012. Kind of curious to see if its been sent out yet, or if  I've got another mail gremlin....

 
nothing here yet either! I did receive a ton of samples from Vmv today though! like 10 samples tubes with a little scoop thingie to get it to get the stuff out! mostly skincare . They were Very generous though! trying to get a pic up! maybe we should follow up with Gloss?

 
Nothing from gloss either. I think I'm just waiting on them & caudalie.



Wei, Ofra, Amore Pacific & L'Occitane



Nume, Sella & 100% Pure

I'm excited about the caffeine eye cream. I saw it in a sub a few months back & wanted to try it.

VMV sorry about the lighting!
Looks like they were very generous.  What is the name of this company?  Not sure what VMV stands for.  Thanks.
