Save 15% off Last Minute Gifts at the P&G eStore!

I wanted to share a quick and easy way to get some last minute holiday shopping done and give you an exclusive discount to do so too.  Have you visited the P&G eStore yet? I hadn't until now when I was given the exclusive code just for YOU!

The P&G eStore is stock full of the P&G products you have come to know - not just beauty. You can shop and save on home care items, baby items (stock up and save on diapers!), personal care items and of course, some of my favorite beauty brands. Included are great items from COVERGIRL, Olay, Pantene, Clairol, Herbal Essences, Braun and more.  Did I mention gifts? The eStore even has a gift section where you can pick up some last minute gifts.

Before I go into some of my favorites, here is the code you can use at the P&G eStore from now until January 31, 2012 (or until 50 codes have been redeemed) to get 15% off your order: INSIDER4 . That code provides 15% off and free shipping on all orders.

Onto some of my favorites that I am adding to my cart: 

Oral-B Professional Care Rechargeable Toothbrush 3000
This toothbrush is $79.99 in the store, but if you check off the $10 coupon and apply the 15%, it will only cost $59.49. That is over $20 off what you would pay in stores. PLUS, there is a $20 rebate and free toothpaste offer.

Olay Body - Purely Pristine Collection
Originally $15, with the $1 off coupon plus 15% off, this set is only $11.90

Braun CruZer 5 Body Shaver
Originally $49.99, with the $5 savings and 15% off, this great gift, which I am getting for my husband, is just $38.25.

Obviously, I am stocking up on some beauty for myself too.  The store has my favorite COVERGIRL Lash Perfection Mascara and Lip Perfection Lipstick, as well as my Root Touch Up.

As I did with some of my favorites, look for extra savings and coupons below some items (these seem to expire on 12/31/11) you may be looking at. As I showed with the products that I mentioned above, there were extra $$ off coupons and the COVERGIRL products had an additional $1 off too. Just be sure to check off the little box where it says to apply this coupon and voila - you save even more.

Again, don't forget to use the exclusive code I have for you: INSIDER4 . That code provides 15% off and free shipping on all orders.

Happy shopping!

Last Minute Gift Idea: Justin Bieber's SOMEDAY Perfume.

Yes, you read that correctly. Justin Bieber. I never thought I would be writing about Justin Bieber. But I am, and I am highly recommending a last minute holiday gift idea for any teen or young woman in your life here, as my daughter and her friends are in love with the new Justin Bieber fragrance SOMEDAY. It seems to be on everyone's wish list.

Yes, Justin Bieber is a huge star. He has a #1 album in 17 countries. He is the undisputed king of social media, with truly electrifying stats: over 1 billion views on YouTube… over 27 million Facebook fans… and over 15 million followers on Twitter. Now he has turned his attention to fragrance. Justin's inspired approach to his first scent showcases his desire to connect with his fans, and to incorporate his life experiences into his work. He is the first male artist to develop a fragrance for his female fans first, deepening the relationship he has with them. Teens swoon for him everywhere and now they are longing for SOMEDAY.

“SOMEDAY is the idea that we can change the world, make our dreams come true, and even be with the one person that means everything.” said Justin Bieber. “Giving back has always been incredibly important to me, but let’s be honest… I wanted to create a fragrance for my female fans that I can’t get enough of… that I want to get next to and I can’t stay away from.  I know they’ll love the scent, but also the opportunity to support some amazing charities. It's a gift that gives back.”

 My love for this whole perfume endeavor comes from the fact that all of the profits from the fragrance will be donated to charity; Pencils of Promise and the Make-A-Wish-Foundation. He did this by partnering with Give Back Brands. Nice going JB!

The Fragrance
Justin wanted SOMEDAY to be more than just a fragrance: it is pure energy, a state-of-mind that inspires and is the reason we never say never.  It is full of the passion and confidence that drove Justin to the top of the charts.  SOMEDAY is playful, fresh yet flirty and anything but ordinary… a fragrance Justin personally finds irresistible.

Top Notes: Mandarin, William Pear and Wild Berries
Mid Notes: Jasmine, Water Lily, Creamy Florals and Coconut Orchid
Dry Down: Sandalwood, Vanilla and Soft Musk

The Design

Fans will have the chance to take home a piece of Justin’s heart with SOMEDAY and its iconic design. The bottle incorporates the colorful energy for which Justin has become known in an unforgettable, sculptural form. Layers of hearts create the cap, bursting from the glass bottle and exploding into your world. Playful, thought-provoking, fresh yet flirty, and anything but ordinary, the bottle is affixed with a removable crystal heart lock and key from Justin, so fans can carry his heart around with them wherever they go.
