Nordstrom Beauty Exclusives

July 10, 2009 By Carleenp Leave a Comment

Nordstrom Beauty Exclusives are available for preorder (shipping begins July 17)! These items will be available only through Nordstrom for a limited time this summer. I’m keeping myself on a budget, so I have to decide what to limit my self to. Here are a few neat items that I am looking at (but there are many more at the Nordstrom website):

I have tons of MAC stuff already, but I still kind of want the MAC Look in a Box .

But I’m leaning even more toward getting this Bobbie Brown Must-Have Set , which I might get along with something from her new Nude line.

And then there is this lovely little Jane Iredale Sweet 15 Makeup Palette !

I think I need to win the lottery so that I can buy more makeup!

Great Holiday Bath and Beauty Kits

December 10, 2008 By Carleenp Leave a Comment

Bath and Body spa kits make great holiday gifts. Just about everyone likes to pamper themselves from time to time, yet they might not want to buy themselves individual products to do so. During the holidays, great home spa kits seem to pop up every where. If you are hitting the stores, look in the beauty isles for fun kits. If shopping online, here are three recommended items:

I adore Bliss spa items, so the Best Of Bliss Kit is high on my personal wish list! This kit contains the best of the best from NY's hottest spa and contains a bliss bag filled with deluxe trial sizes of lemon+sage body butter, hot salt scrub, high intensity hand cream, triple oxygen energizing mask and the youth as we know it moisture cream. $55 at Beauty.com

Another favorite of mine is Caudalie. The Vinotherapie Spa in the Box Set includes luxurious Crushed Cabernet Scrub, Hand and Nail Cream, Vine Peach Shower Gel, French-Milled Soap and Nourishing Body Lotion. $38.

For a value packed full home spa experience, check out the Borghese Essentially Borghese Holiday Gift Set. This kit offers 7 products from rejuvenating Fango Active Mud for Face and Body to gently cleansing Bagnodi Vita Gentle Foaming Bath Gel for Bath and Shower, to deeply intensive and protective moisturizers for face and body and soothing botanical eye compresses. $45
