Want a free Lisa Hoffman Day Cream????

I just thought that was the cutest little tagline, so I had to "steal" it right off the email I was sent! "SPF for your BFF"! So cute...

Well, you do love your BFF, right? I know I do! And you want to remind her that a) she's beautiful, 2) she should treat herself to wonderful things, and III) she should be wearing an SPF 15 (at least) even during the colder months...

So how can you take care of all of those things in one simple move? Lisa Hoffman has a way: send her a free (!) Lisa Hoffman Day Cream SPF 15, worth $75.

Let's give you a quick rundown of the product, else how will you know you need it!? It's part of the amazing and streamlined (in a good way) Lisa Hoffman line, created by the ever-on-the-road wife of actor Dustin Hoffman. She wanted a line of products that worked, that were straight-forward, and that traveled well. This Day Cream is lightweight and moisturizing, with nice anti-aging properties, all of which will ensure that you will stay youthful and hydrated, whether you travel as much as Mrs. Hoffman or you stay home. Can't we all use a nice, dependable, SPF-laden day cream to keep us sexy and healthy?

You can get a bottle to try, and one for a friend (or two!). Simply follow these instructions:

- send an email to info@lisahoffmanbeauty.com

- make sure the subject line reads "Friend of FCH"

- inclusion of the name, email address and shipping address for each person receiving the complimentary Day Cream

- for every Day Cream they ship, they will include a note to your friend that says they have been personally requested to receive the complimentary Day Cream.

- offer is valid while supplies last.

 

If you give this product a try, why not drop us a note and tell us how you like it!?

FCH covers the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!

FCH covers the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!

You know about this sale, right? I mean... if you have a Nordstrom nearby, you ought to know about this sale! And if you have internet access (which you must if you're reading this, no?) you need to know about this sale.

Each July, Nordstrom celebrates the anniversary of it's 1st store opening back in 1350 BC or some such ancient date. (Actually, if my memory from my Nordie's days serves me right, I think it was 1904)

This year, the sale begins on July 18th and goes through August 3rd.

What I love about this sale - well, I guess the #1 thing I love about this sale!- is that this is a fabulous chance to get the best of Fall's accessories, fashion, handbags, shoes and clothes AT A DISCOUNT. That's right: unlike most sales, which feature lowered prices on things at the end of a season, this sale gives you discounts on items for the upcoming season!

Another great thing about Anniversary is that many of the cosmetics companies give Nordstrom exclusive deals just for this sale. It rocks! Some of these goodies will sell out before the lunch crowd hits the stores, but the good news is this: you can pre-order items to make sure you don't miss out.

Take a look at what Nordie's Anniversary Sale has in store for us this year. Let's start with some of the lines that go all-out and create a collection or at least a smattering of products...

DISCLAIMER: The images in this post came directly from ebay, and apparently the person who posted them got some/all of them from Specktra without attributing them, along with the product descriptions - I don't condone that behavior! So: thanks to Specktra.net for the images, and apologies for inadvertently posting them without the disclaimer for a few hours.

Also, Janice at Specktra posted on her blog that these items were given to the press at a press event - and the person who has posted them on ebay is making money on these things she received for free. NASTY behavior. Not nice at all. Please do NOT purchase this lot- but feel free to gawk at the images (thanks again Specktra for those that came from you).

A Long Lost Love Returns

Long Lost Love Box features 5 beloved treats from LUSH's past.

     Once upon a time, the beautiful Princess LUSHie fell in love with handsome Prince Triple Orange Blossom: a most Cosmetic Lad from the land of Honey Farm. Sadly, the Prince left one Big Blue day without reason or explanation. Princess LUSHie was left only with memories of the Almond Kisses he pressed upon her cheeks. She knew she'd be forever Smitten.

One lonely evening as Princess LUSHie tried to bathe away her sorrows in a pool of Golden Slumbers, she washed her long flowing hair with Ultimate Shine (he adored sparkles). She reached into her stash for several of the many LUSH gifts presented to her by prince charming, among them a Dreamtime bath melt. The lavender and chamomile lured her into a deep sleep.

As morning broke, the Princess dressed in Silky Underwear and delicate lace. She moisturized her hands and arms with a Soft Touch. The spicy vanilla scent reminded her of her betrothed. Not one to wallow in self pity, Princess LUSHie dabbed on some Karma. She hoped the scent, rich with happiness, would put her in harmony with her surroundings and help bring her love back to his rightful place.

She sensed the secret to his return could be some Black Magic to create a special Potion Lotion to thwart the spell of the meddling Queen of Hearts. Should all go according to plan, she'd know It's a Date and would jump in his arms saying, "Kiss Me Klimt" (Klimt was LUSHie's pet name for the elusive prince).

That very afternoon Princess LUSHie suddenly caught a waft of a sweet and gentle orange and neroli blossom scent. This could mean only one thing, Prince Triple Orange Blossom had returned! In his strong, loving hands was the most amazing of gifts, a Long Lost Love Box filled with romantic bath and body treasures. Princess LUSHie and her long lost loves (all of them) were together once more.
