Nordstrom.com is having a clearance of 50 percent off select summer apparel and shoe styles for women.

The number of items is incredible – I really like the Burberry Double Breasted Stretch Sateen Dress.

Things I Want: Duwop Doubleglow7 Luminous Face Balm

June 4, 2008 · 3 Comments

I was intrigued when I saw Duwop’s Doubleglow7 Luminous Face Balm. Between my face lacking luster and being irritated this week, it seems just the thing for me – it contains Jojoba, Aloe Vera, vitamins A, E & F, Lily extract to soothe and smooth your skin (vitamin A is the stuff they make Retin-A out of), and also contains pearl to make your skin luminous. It kind of reminded me of Fekkai Salon Glaze for your skin (and that’s high praise from me!)

I really like when products are good for your skin while they work – the pearl luminize your complexion immediately, while the good stuff in the balm works to get your skin in good shape. In addition to the ingredients mentioned above, it also has Soy extract, Safflower extract (which is amazing for your skin), and Linoleic Acid – all ingredients that will get your skin actually glowing in no time. I can’t wait to try it!

Find it at Beauty.com, and Sephora.com for $25.

Today (6/4/08) is the last day to get a free some kinda gorgeous mini with any $50 purchase. Enter promo code PACKLITE at checkout.

I haven’t tried some kind-a gorgeous foundation but hear universally good reviews – I read that it is especially good at covering rosacea without looking fake or heavy.

Don’t forget about Posietint if you are looking to try something new.

Get a free Shisiedo SPF 55 Ultimate Sun Protection Cream from Sephora

June 1, 2008 · Leave a Comment

I was running errands the other day and the sun was out in full force. Since I didn’t think I’d have take off my cardigan during the day (boy was I wrong!), I didn’t put sunscreen on my arms and got a sun rash that has been driving me nuts all weekend. (Fortunately my face and neck were SPF slathered as usual!) I decided to get a sunscreen to keep in my bag for when I’m out – both for this kind of situation and so I can re-apply to face and neck during the day.

So I was excited to see that Sephora is offering a free Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Cream SPF 55 with code SUNCREAM at checkout.

I’m also going to pick up MD Skincare Powerful Protection SPF 30 Sunscreen Pads – they come in purse-friendly packs – easy to keep in your purse for a sunscreen touch up or to get that spot you missed.
