Fabulous Over Forty – Where Beauty Is Ageless

It’s worth taking a trip to your local Nordstrom and pick up a few beauty goodies from now till the 21st.   It’s Triple Reward Points on purchases with your Nordstrom credit card or MOD debit card.  What that means is that those who use either of these cards when making purchases, instead of getting 2 points for every dollar spent you get 6 points!   That’s huge!

Right now at Nordstrom the Lancome gift with purchase is going on too and you get to choose 6 items out of the 11 offering.   Which includes samples of the incredible Absolue Precious Cells!   Amazing!    And it’s a cute bag to boot. 

Be sure to check out the other beauty lines there because some of them have great specials going on too – like Giorgio Armani Beauty and I’m sure others (I just didn’t have time to check all the lines out – sorry!)

But for those of you living in the MN area – some exciting news at Nordstrom – they now carry Kate Somerville!    FINALLY someone on MN has the line – I’m beyond excited!    And they also have Chantecaille – such a beautiful, luxurious line too.  I’ll tell  you more about Chantecaille at a later date, but Nordstrom is becoming a definite one-stop beauty place, especially for those of us in MN! 

Keep a lookout for the Beauty on Location Spring Trends at your local Nordstrom – the one in MN is having theirs April 16-17 and most beauty lines have a GWP.  Get the hottest news on summer beauty trends and looks. 

Macy’s is winding down on the Estee Lauder GWP event.   With a $29.50 purchase you can get this set and choose either warm or cool tones for the makeup and you get to choose your own cleanser/moisturizer combo.  

Elizabeth Arden is also having a 100 year anniversary special.   Get a great train case filled with beauty goodies for only $39.50 with any $35 purchase.  Some of the beauty includes 30 of the Ceramide Gold Caps – that alone is a great deal.

And at Saks, a little birdie told me in April Tom Ford will have a makeup line available exclusively with Saks!   I can’t wait to see that – remember his guest makeup line he did with Estee Lauder about 5 years ago?  It sold out in mere minutes!  It was beautiful – the best guest designer they’ve had so far.   But this is his own makeup line, not in association with any company.    Stay tuned!

At Neiman Marcus, this cute as can be tote is only $25 with the goodies inside, with any purchase in Clinique.   So you can spend $10 or $100 and this tote is still the same price.  Nice deal.

That’s it for this week on Department Store Beauty!   Happy shopping!
