Updates and Spring Break
The only thing that’s constant is change, ammirite?
Thursday is usually Marcia’s day to post, but she tripped in her home of Tuesday night and broke her dominant wrist/arm. So sadly, Marcia will be taking some time off to heal. Writing and typing with a broken wrist is no fun at all. Please think healing thoughts for her quick recovery! But leave it to Marcia to make sure she got her Sunday Scoop mostly completed before her injury, so this week there will be a Sunday Scoop.
I am taking off a few days to go to New York. I may have mentioned that I lived on the Upper West Side of Manhattan for a loooooong time. As an undergraduate, I went to Barnard College, the women’s college of Columbia University, and then to graduate school at Fordham in the Bronx. I managed to get a big rent stabilized apartment, so I stayed for decades working in advertising on Madison Avenue. But it’s been three years since I’ve been to New York, I think the longest I’ve gone without visiting The Big Fruit. I’m psyched even though we’ll only be there for a couple of days.
During the weekend, we’re going to stay with my BFF and former NY roommate (who isn’t into makeup or skincare and doesn’t read my blog, lol) and see her perform in a play in Westchester. That will be a lot of fun as well.
So if NSDB doesn’t post possibly this Friday and during the first half of next week, you’ll know why.
Beauty Sales
I’m kind of a day late and a dollar short on some of the Easter and Friends & Family Sales that have been going on, some of which have already ended. Sorry about that. I had such a busy weekend and week so far with the window saga, the holidays and my bday.
Here’s what I’ve got so far, basically a million skincare sales:
- Laneige: Friends & Family Sale up to 40% off off best sellers, no code necessary. Laneige hasn’t posted the end date but it’s been going on for a few days already. The famed Lip Sleeping Mask is on sale for $17.60, reg. $22.
- FragranceNet.com: additional 30% off already discounted prices with code: ANTP2 through April 22
- Spongellé: Spongellé is partnering with Women’s Earth Alliance and donating a portion of sales. Save up to 40% on Spongelle’s Gentle & Eco-Friendly collection for Earth Week (goes through the weekend, I believe). Or you can save 25% on your entire purchase by signing up for emails on the website.
- City Beauty Multi-Action Sculpting Cream BOGO 4/22-4/25: One of my favorites, City Beauty Multi-Action Sculpting Cream is buy one get one free from Friday through Monday with the code MASC50. Add 2 jars of MASC to your cart in order to get one free. Add 4 and get 2 free, etc. And don’t forget, City Beauty has a 60 day money-back guarantee.
- Derma E: Sale on “everything green”: CBD, Sensitive Skin, Therapeutics and Body Care Collections – Buy one, get one for 50% off with code BOGO50
- SkinCareRx/SkinStore: 15% off SkinCeuticals with code SRX15 and 15% off SkinCeuticals and Dermablend with code SKINC15 and 15% off PCA Skin Hydrating Duo with code SS15 and 30% off serums with code SERUMS30. Plus new customers can get 25% off with code Newbie. In other words, there are lots of skincare products on sale at SkinCareRx and SkinStore, divisions of Lookfantastic
- Dermstore: 30% off select Sulwhasoo skincare products, the luxury Korean brand that is one of my favorites through 4/30; new customers get 15% off everything with code WELCOME15 anytime
- Elemis Friends & Family Sale 25% off with code FRIENDS
- Lookfantastic Friends & Family Sale 20% off any purchase or 22% off purchases of $90+ with code FRIENDS
- IT Cosmetics: 50% off new Hello Results collection through 4/23 and save up to 30% on value bundles/gift sets for Mother’s Day
- Urban Decay: Hey Mama Sale up to 50% off on 92 products no code necessary
Some makeup brands, like ABH and others, have sales on select products and bundles. I assume that as we get closer to Mother’s Day, there will be even more sales.
Have fun here in NYC, but OMG!! Poor Marcia!!!!
Thank you, Sandy!
I am so sorry about Marcia! I hope that she feels better soon. Have a good time in New York. NYC is so pretty in the spring.
Thank you, Denise!
Sending healing love to Marcia! 💜
I tried to order the City*Lips online using the codes APRILBOGO & CLBDAY but neither of them worked…no longer an “active code” even tho it’s still April! 😥 Guess I’ll just have to wait for the next sale!
Debbie, the CB Birthday/Anniversary sale ended ended a couple of weeks ago. I think now they have BOGO Multiaction Sculpting cream. I know it’s only 15% off, but whenever CB doesn’t gave a sale use my code NEVERSAYDIEBEAUTY if 15% is good enough. I’m waiting for Lid Lifting Treatment to come back in stock. They canceled my order during the BOGO sale because they ran out! ☹️
Give my best to poor Marcia! Have fun in NY and enjoy your friend’s play!
Thank you, Gabrielle! Will do, and I will give your good wishes to Marcia 🥰 Have a good weekend too!
