Barneys Love Yourself Beauty Event for Fall 2013 (with update!)

KICX5331

It’s that time of year again, only slightly later: Barneys’ annual fall beauty bag event has been delayed slightly due to major renovations at the Madison Avenue flagship store, but you can still Love Yourself from October 15-19 .

As you can see from the mailer above, the minimum purchase to receive a gift-bag full of samples has risen yet again, to $250. Ouch. On the other hand, if you’re in New York and just need to pick up one or two little things this month, you can still enjoy experiencing the newly unveiled Foundation, the beauty and fragrance floor.  I visited a few weeks ago and saw a few counters that had already been completed, and they really did look promising. I’m looking forward to getting the full effect on my next visit.

Barneys “Love Your Self” Beauty Bag Event, February 2013

IMAG1537[1]

I just received a promotional mailer for Barneys New York’s winter 2013 gift-with-purchase event. From February 13 through February 16, if you spend $200 in-store or online on cosmetics and fragrances, you’ll receive “a cosmetics bag filled with our favorites.”

This beauty bag offer is taking place at Barneys locations in New York (naturally), Beverly Hills, Chicago, Boston, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Scottsdale, and Seattle.

Are you tempted to splurge on a fragrance or some fancy skincare that’s been on your wishlist for a while?

(If I learn anything about the contents of the gift bag—it’s usually a secret until the event actually begins—I’ll post an update!)
