Beauty.com has just started offering this new sample-filled Jane Mayle bag as a gift with any $100 purchase. It's a tempting one with a deluxe sample of By Terry Hyaluronic Blush in Peach Posh. The minimum purchase amount is not hard to hit given the plethora of holiday collections now available from Tarte, Too Faced, LORAC, Urban Decay, Smashbox, Stila and Butter London. I couldn't resist picking up a couple of the newly reformulated Kevyn Aucoin Creamy Glow blushes.
