Per my contract with Tabs the Cat Industries, LLC, I get every other Friday off.
Well, not necessarily “off,” because I’m still on call, but like, I’m forced to leave the office so that Tabs can have his “private time.”
As you can imagine, plotting world domination takes intense focus and concentration, so he kicks me out of the house.
Sigh…
Hi! From Saks Fifth Avenue here in San Francisco’s Union Square! 🙂
There’s a reason I’m standing in front of this building with big hair…but the reason has nothing to do with the hair (I just felt like having big hair today!).
I’m here to check out a new program Saks is running this month called Beauty Treat du Jour. Every day this month, Saks is holding a different beauty special or event, things like facial masks from SK-II, blowouts by a Frederic Fekkai stylist and hand massages from La Prairie.
There are also some fancy — FANCY! — gift-with-purchase deals, like a free cake liner from Laura Mercier.
Nationwide, 24 Saks stores are participating (call your local store for details). If you happen to be in the Bay Area and at any point this month find yourself near Union Square, stop by the beauty department at Saks to see what’s going on.
While I’m here looking for new spring stuff on counters, I plan to indulge in a Beauty Treat du Jour. At the SF store today, you can either learn to combine fragrances with Jo Malone London, or get a nail polish change from Dior.
Hmm… That nail polish change sounds pretty sweet to me. My claws are hella to’ up at the moment.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

Hi Agata,

This sounds amazing!
Karen says
It was pretty cool. I could’ve spent all day there, but I had to leave early to beat traffic, BOO!
Lulle says
I love Union Square, sigh!
I would probably be broke if I lived in SF, the department stores are just too tempting. But I’d love a Dior nail makeover or a hand massage!!
Karen says
It’s a constant temptation, LOL!
Happy weekend, Lulle!

I’ve never been into a Saks 5th Avenue, so I never knew that they sold makeup! I guess I will be going to the one in Georgetown or Bethesda (the Washington, DC and MD area locations) when I can. That is pretty awesome that they are doing this beauty month. Thanks for this post!
Karen says
You’re welcome! I hope you get to indulge in a beauty treat or two.
How are you doing? Are you feeling better?
