Smells like love: Back by popular demand, today we have a wonderful deep-discount deal from Essence of the Vali. This offer is our favorite kind: a site-wide reduction for our readers that lets you buy whatever your little heart desires. But with all the beating hearts just around the corner for Valentines Day you may want to check out the Passion gift set: a spicy-sweet combination of some of our favorites oils (notably Ylang Ylang, citrus, ginger… yum!). Gift it, ask for it, or treat yourself!

Onto the deal! Get any of your favorite scents, mists, and oils from Essence of the Vali for a whole 20% off when you use the promo code NMDL. Wham bam. Going through until next Thursday at midnight.

And if you ordered from E of V last time, be sure to drop a comment telling us and fellow readers what you liked (or didn’t). As most of you know, we are not the only reviewers with opinions on this site!

We hope you had a wonderful week. We did. Alexandra made a speed trip to New York for work, so us girls got to have a night of fun with some of our favorite friends. Let’s put it this way… we didn’t exactly wake up the next day looking like this, but it was well worth it. Here’s to a restful weekend.

What a wonderful way to kick off the year: Kahina is offering a very generous site-wide discount to all their NMDL fans. For those of you who know the line, well, you know. And for those of you who still haven’t tried it, if price was at all discouraging you, now’s your chance.

It’s very simple: Just enter the promo code CHEERS (cheers!) and you’ll receive 15% off your order. Bam. Deal  lasts until midnight next Thursday.

As you know we don’t have enough good things to say about this line, its founder, and the people who work with her (a little shout out to Mairin, who also wrote one of our most entertaining Morning Routines Exposed to date).

What’s more is that Kahina is using its growing success to help improve the lives of the Berber women (pictured above) who, as part of the argan cooperative, make the Kahina line possible.

We encourage you to check out this blog post describing how Kahina is working to impact their lives, as well as this video because it will make you smile.

We’re very proud to work with this company! It doesn’t hurt that they make a mean, clean, beauty product too.

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday Deal from Juice Beauty!

They’re baaaaaaaaaaack. And just in time for the holidays. Our friends at Juice Beauty have a wonderful deal, on a wonderful, hydrating, and super-clean product from their USDA Organic line… a deal that also lets you stock up on some goodies for the gifting season (even if you’re gifting your very special self). So let’s get down to business.

Here’s how today’s deal works: Get a free full sized Organic Facial Moisture Concentrate ($36 value) with any order over $35 (in other words, you’re essentially getting half off the order!). All you have to do is enter the PROMO CODE FRIDAYDEAL at checkout. And if your order is above $50, you’ll get FREE SHIPPING too. A merrymerry to you!

Special note: This deal ends Sunday night at midnight PST, so don’t delay.

What’s the Moisture Concentrate all about? Well, it’s a super-rich blend of skin-loving oils, combined with powerful antioxidants and calming actives like chamomile and calendula. It’s the perfect antidote to dry winter skin, but also works as a multi-tasker on split ends, hands, elbows, cuticles or any other weather-worn part of you that needs a little extra love.

Here’s the full ingredient list:

Organic plant oils of helianthus annuus (sunflower) oil*, olea europaea (olive) fruit oil*, simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) oil*, linumusitatissimum (linseed) seed oil*, borago officinali (borage) seed oil*, oenothera biennis (evening primrose) oil*, vaccinium macrocarpon (cranberry) seed oil*, vinis vitifera (grape) seed oil*, organic botanical extracts of calendula officinalis flower*, chamomilla recutita (matricaria) flower*, daucus carota sativa (carrot) seed*, helichrysum stoechas (everlasting)* & melissa officinalis (lemon balm)*, tocopherol, pelargonium graveolens (geranium)* & citrus aurantium (petitgrain)* essential oils.

We’ve  always praised Juice for being the kind of clean brand that is also great for clean-beauty newbies. It has a high-end, but still totally accessible vibe that we love, and so many women (including ourselves) have turned to it as a transition line from more mainstream ones. In other words—while we still love the products now—it’s also the perfect prezzy for friends and loved ones we’re looking to convert to the movement this holiday. So let’s take advantage!

Happy shopping, and have a wonderful early winter weekend.

Your ever-devoted clean girls,

S&A

Happy Friday Deal from Kahina Giving Beauty!

Hold up. It’s Friday (oh yaa). We have a deal (even better). And it’s from Kahina Giving Beauty (a big favorite around these parts). What’s more is that this deal is beeee-yond awesome. Sure, you have to spend a little—but when the products are this good, that’s not hard—to save a lot. But we really mean a lot!

Here’s the deal: When you spend over $100 (before tax and shipping) you get a FREE (free!) full-sized Antioxidant Mask (valued at $62). Just enter the PROMO CODE MASK at checkout and it will be added to your order. Note: It will not show up anywhere in your cart; the deal is limited to one order per person and will last until Thursday at midnight.

Not only is a mask Halloween-appropriate—no costume ideas? just put on a robe and a mask!—but this was a top pick from from Vanity Fair’s beauty editor (and it’s loaded with skin-loving ingredients.)

Happy Halloween all! It’s the one time of the year that we fully endorse loading up on chems—be they in candy or your Halloween makeup. All the more reason you’ll want that soothing Kahina mask. :)

Happy Friday Deal From Juice Beauty!

This week we stuck our heads together with the team at Juice Beauty in order to come up with something we thought you guys would be really into: makeup! A whole wack of it. Here’s why: 1. We love makeup. 2. Juice happens to offer some very versatile summery colors that make sense to get online. So we went through their goodies and selected the items we thought would work best. Hope you enjoy!

Here’s the deal. Juice Beauty has put together a unique Summer Color Kit for NMDL readers featuring the following makeup items: Blemish Clearing Powder, Conditioning Lip Color, Glowing Cheek Color, Reflecting Gloss, and the Buki Brush. It will all come in a nice little green makeup bag. The total value of the kit is $106 but you will get it for a mere $74. Crunch that.

You’ll ALSO have the option between the Fig and Pink lip and cheek colors (you must choose the same color for all three… if you want to mix it up, get a friend to order the other!)—both compliment most skin tones.

Here’s how it works: You will go into the shopping cart and enter the promo code NMDLpink (featured in the pic) or NMDLfig and the kit will automatically be added at this special price.

And in case you’re wondering, the story with the Blemish Clearing Powder is this: Yes, it’s very light so not everyone can use it during the day. But, it’s a favorite of Siobhan’s and here’s what she had to say about it: “It’s a day or an overnight treatment. For day it’s best if you’re fair skinned, and it’s great to have around if you have a BOY sleeping over (or whoever) and you want a bit of coverage but you don’t want to go to bed with makeup on.” Or with, like, clay on your face (as we are both wont to do on any given night).

Also, a little update from Juice: They’re trying to have phenoxyethanol out of all their products by the end of the year. We like it! (For the record, it is not present in any of the products offered in the kit.)

Happy Friday Deal from Kahina Giving Beauty!

Happy Friday, loves—and happy summer too! We’re sorry we had no deal for you last week (scheduling snafu!), but this one’s doubly good to make up for it. The beloved Kahina Giving Beauty is doing something we’ve yet to see: They’re offering a discount AND a giveaway with this week’s deal.

So here it is: Spend over $50 (before taxes) buying whatever you like on the Kahina site to receive a 15% discount AND a little prezzy from the Kahina crew: this yummy Argan Bar Soap (featured above). Delish. Just use the promo code NMDL624 at checkout. As per, the gift won’t show up in your cart, but it will arrive with your shipment.

And let’s have a little fun with this today. If you’re going to order something, let us know in the comments what you’re getting and why. Will it be the classic argan oil, or maybe the eye cream? How about Siobhan’s total obsession: the toning spray?

Now go have a wonderful summery weekend of sun, fun and repose.
