The ShoppingNotes blog

Because of the popularity of this free gift last month, starting today through 8/31, Clarins will send you their two best selling Hand Cream and Body Lotion in a Free Spa Bag Gift Set with Free Shipping on any $75 order at Clarins.com with code BODY.

While you’re there, check out their new lipstick Rouge Prodige for the ultimate French Kiss. Every week you have a chance to win the entire Rouge Prodige collection in all 16 shades!

Quick! YLighting is giving 35% discounts on all Flos lighting with free shipping! I’ve been eyeing the beautiful Spun Light T Table Lamp and the Glo-Ball series for years, maybe now is the time to finally own one of them.

Even when I’m not shopping for lighting, I love to spend hours browsing theYLighting store . I especially love to read the reviews under each product, seeing the different experiences people have with the lights and the creative ways the lights are being used is fascinating. From the reviews, I noticed more and more interior designers are ordering from this online store. Great, now I can get my hands on the same stuff that the designers have access to!

While you’re there, check out the latest fashion for Men from the 2010 F/W Runway. I have to say I’m a little puzzled by look 27 from Givenchy, since when does one need to go to a Runway show to see guys wearing shorts?? Or maybe it’s the black tights he’s wearing ? Call me clueless!
