Coupons and Specials

    I shop a lot online, so I get tons of coupons and specials notifications in my email and I bet some of you do, too, not to mention all the ones we see when out shopping. So I thought we should have a thread dedicated to these things!

    I'll start: Sephora is giving 13 samples with any $25 purchase. For the most part, I don't see anything that I'm just aching to try, but you ladies might. Judy, I think there are a couple of fragrance samples in there, too, though one is a men's fragrance.

    I found this freebie through megsmakeup.com. It's for a seven day supply of N.V. Perricone's Ceramic Skin Smoother. Here's the product description:

    "Ceramic Skin Smoother is the first anti-aging product to bridge the gap between serious skincare and natural looking makeup. A hybrid, oil-free gel that seals in the benefits of your skin care regimen, locks in hydration and gives your complexion an instantly flawless, smooth and velvety finish. Primes the skin for perfect color application. Foundation glides over this light, elegant formula for a picture perfect finish or better yet, foundation is no longer necessary. Can be applied over ANY skin care regimen. Suitable for ALL skin types. Can be worn alone or with foundation."

    There's lots of excitement over this product by her readers and.....it's our BIG chance to try nanotechnology in a cosmetic, ladies! (It has this statement as one of the product's benefits: "Fullerenes - Nanotechnology vitamin B60 - A potent antioxidant that helps to reduce the appearance of skin discolorations, redness and surface stress.") The only charge is $4 for shipping and you get to pick two other samples from this line.

    NV Perricone’s Ceramic Skin Smoother

    It sure is pricey to order a bottle, though. Read more about Meg's readers' enthusiasm at:

    EDIT: Do NOT waste your time on this stuff. Complete over-hype! It's not even worth the $4 it costs to sample it!

    Good for you, taiwanesegurl! Looks like fun things from Benefit. I like "10" for night time makeup drama. Have fun with your winnings!

    I just won a $100 gift certificate to a Cold Water Creek spa :bigsmile: ....but I have NO idea what to do with it because I've never been to a spa. :neutral:

    Decisions, decisions!

    Fitness Brain: That's a nice offer! Thanks!

    Karen, I'd go with the full body scrub and the hot river stone massage.
  • KarenKaren
    I'll check that out. Thanks, PR! I really am clueless when it comes to spas.
  • Fitness Brain
    Karen
    if you never been to a spa get a massage
    but not a deep tissue, just a relaxing one, you feel so good afterwards
  • KarenKaren
    Now maybe I'm too modest but I've always worried that a massage would be unsettling rather than relaxing for me. I know some people who LOVE massages but I keep thinking there's the whole towel thing and then there's hands all over me!

    Does anyone else get massages and were you a little apprehensive about your first one?
  • catecate
    I have had 2 massages. One at the Hotel Hershey...amazing chocolate oil...I was a little freaked out because it was a man touching me and I didn't really shave...oops! The other was at the same place where I had the awful facial incident...it was no good and I found it hard to relax...she wasn't very good
  • Fitness Brain
    Well
    I get massages at the gym, by a sport therapists, just a relaxing one with a little bit of oil
    you do not need to get naked or rubbed in weird stuff to get a good massage you know
    somehow in spas they expect you to, but the sport therapist works on you with whatever clothes you are comfortable

    You can try one in the chair (the weird one were you put your head on a hole), they will just rub your back and neck, no need to take anything off
    some spas offer this while they give you a manicure
    I think that's a great combination
    my neck gets very stiff from sitting in front of the computer
