Just so happened that I was shopping for a gift for my husband's birthday AND had a list of beauty items that had been piling up on me. Figured that since I was ordering anyway, might as well get it all at once from Nordstrom. </p> <p>While I am used to the gift with purchase concept - my skin is kind of sensitive, so I can't always use the items in the "gift" and further, sometimes I don't like the colours that end up in the gift with purchase (makeup items). </p> <p>Meanwhile, I think lots of places do offer samples and probably let you choose - but I wasn't expecting screenfuls of choices...I was quite pleased!! I ended up choosing mostly cologne samples because I love to try new fragrances, and they are handy for travel purposes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beauty-products-at-nordstrom---better-than-expected#post-821119 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 11:31:36 +0000 Inge 821119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's very good to know, thanks VC. Being able to pick your own samples is so useful, I wish more stores would adopt that concept. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beauty-products-at-nordstrom---better-than-expected#post-819719 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 03:40:59 +0000 velvetychocolate 819719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure if this is useful, but I was ordering a clothing item at Nordstrom as a gift for my husband's birthday, and ended up ordering a bunch of beauty products as part of my order, since they were on my list to get anyway. It's the first time I've ordered beauty products from Nordstrom, and I have to say that I am impressed! </p> <p>I had no idea that I'd be prompted to select from all kinds of fabulous samples and gifts. It wasn't even one of those department store "gift with purchase" scenarios - it was me ordering some beauty basics, and when I went to check out, I was whisked off to another page to select some really nice free samples to try. I especially liked being able to pick and choose my own "free samples" instead of getting whatever the current give-away was. </p> <p>I love one-stop shopping! </p>
