Nordstrom: Free Clinique Lip Smoothie & Moisture Surge w/consultation, through today.

Today's the last day for this Clinique free sample event. Go to any Clinique counter inside a Nordstrom, get a free makeup consultation, and receive a 10-day supply of Vitamin C Lip Smoothie in your choice of colors, plus a 6-week supply of Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief.

No purchase necessary, so don't let them guilt you into buying a $20 lipstick unless you really want one.

Clinique: Free 7-piece gift set w/$21.50 purchase + free shipping.

I don't know about you, but I'm rather fond of Clinique Bonus Time. I love the idea of getting a free makeup bag full of treats with my purchase, and I actually do use and enjoy Clinique's Dramatically Different facial lotion. But don't you hate it when you inevitably get some weird eyeshadow or a lipstick in a color you know you'll never use? Right now, Clinique is offering the Ultimate Choice Gift, wherein YOU get to customize your bag and its contents.

Free bag with $21.50 purchase, and free shipping with promo code FSEMAIL. It might be cutting it too close for a Mother's Day gift, but you could always show her a picture of it and tell her it's on its way... then distract her with mimosas.

Clinique Bonus Time at Nordstrom.

I do love Clinique Bonus Time, but the trick is to keep an eye on the various stores that offer Clinique gift sets, because they always change up the bags and the products and you have to make sure you're getting the best one. The last bonus at Macy's wasn't that great, but this one at Nordstrom looks pretty good:

• Liquid Facial Soap in Mild (1.7 oz.)
• All About Eyes (0.17 oz.)
• Blushing Blush Powder Blush in Cupid (0.06 oz.)
• Travel-Size Colour Surge Eye Shadow Quad in Pink Chocolate
• Lash Doubling Mascara in Black (0.14 oz.)
• Long Lasting Lipstick in Pink Chocolate (0.14 oz.)
• 3-Piece Makeup Brush Set

I'm not terribly impressed with the product name "Blushing Blush Powder Blush," though. It reminds me of that stupid cat from Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood, who could only say the word "meow" and the occasional friendship-related word. Blush blush receive blush free gift set blush, blush minimum purchase of $25 blush! Mew.
