Pink Alert: 40% Off at ShopBellaBeach

Holy moly! A really great deal just landed in my inbox -- 40% off all Juicy Couture products at ShopBellaBeach.com (formerly SDR) with the code JUICY. They're even throwing in free shipping for the time being!

Their charm selection isn't huge; right now they have the Mitten, Silver Candy Cane, Silver Hot Chocolate, Lucky 7, Flamingo, LE Present, Orange Slice, and LE '09 Snowflake. They also have the Charm Box.. talk about an amazing deal! So far I've found that it doesn't apply to sale items, but you can use the code SANTA for 20% off sale and non-sale items from any brand.

You better move quick on this deal.. I imagine lots of people will be reading their own e-mails tomorrow and supplies won't last, especially for the holiday charms. It doesn't get much better than this!

Pink Alert: $25 off $100 or more

Have you checked your e-mail yet today? If not, you might be pleasantly surprised to find an "invitation" to save $25 off of a $100 purchase at Juicy stores this week. The promotion is only good toward Juicy's "new collection" -- I really have no idea what exactly that means. The fine print is vague at best so I called my local Juicy to inquire. The SA said she thinks it's good on any $100+ purchase of regular priced merchandise. Yay! I'll be trying it out later today.. the boutique already has in the gingerbread house, candy cane, hot cocoa, and snowflake. And even though I already have the first three and don't really collect the snowflakes I'm possibly OCD enough to want the silver versions of the gingerbread house and candy cane anyway.

It's good to see Juicy upping the discounts they're offering.. they're finally putting themselves in a position to compete with online retailers still offering discount codes. I prefer shopping at the boutiques when the prices are right (or I can't wait) because the tax here almost always comes out lower than shipping prices. If you didn't get the e-mail just click on the picture to the left and it will open a larger version that you can print out and take with you.

Also -- I noticed today when I checked up on the blog that some of the Google Ads that came with the Google Ad feature are atrocious. Don't buy from any suspicious websites that pop up on there.. the only reason I enabled ads is to help offset the cost of any giveaways/promotions I decide to do and so far the blog has earned a whopping $2. ;) It's not a big deal - just download AdBlocker Plus for Firefox, keep it updated, and you will most likely never see them.

Pink Alert: Free Gift at Juicy Couture Boutiques

A few days ago I posted about a sweet little coupon that came in the back of a Juicy catalog, good for 20% off your entire purchase plus a freebie valued at $16. I solved the mystery this morning when this very hot pink lipstick was added to my bag after I paid.

Honestly I'm not wild about the color at all - it is a nearly neon magenta color and I can't think of any occasion on which I'd wear it. Sure, I could tone it down with a different lipstick or some lipgloss, but that seems like more effort than it's worth. I'm really digging the safety pin embellishment, though!

Pink Alert: 20% off at Juicy + Free Gift!

Have you been checking your mail lately? To be honest I almost never flip through the Juicy catalogs when they come, because they mostly showcase clothes and not what I'm really after. So when a mini summer catalog popped up in my mailbox I was planning on tossing it, but decided to flip through it at the last minute.

Good thing I did! On the last page you'll find a coupon, good for 20% off plus a free gift with any full priced purchase, valued at $16. This offer is good through May 29th and doesn't specify whether the 20% is for one item or your entire purchase. However, the fine print reads: "on a single purchase of full price item." Not that this helped much, as I'm still unsure of what they mean. This offer is only valid at regular Juicy boutiques in the U.S. - outlets, JuicyCouture.com, and international boutiques are excluded from the promo. I will definitely try to use this coupon.. if only the new summer charms had come in already! If I manage to snag the free gift I'll let you know what it is (though I'm not sure I've ever seen anything Juicy priced at less than $20, save for their new nail polish, lipstick, and lip balms).

The coupon isn't valid when reproduced or duplicated, which is why I watermarked it. Better start checking those mailboxes!

Pink Alert: Pre-Orders available at Juicy's Website

On a whim I checked up on Juicy's new arrivals section - surprise! After what feels like weeks and weeks of nothing a whole plethora of cute stuff has landed!

We already knew about the carousel horse, lucky 7, and hot air balloon, thanks to Bloomingdale's online trunk show. We suspected the panda and the pretzel, which have now been confirmed.

If you're as crazy as I am, you may want to bookmark this link: http://www.juicycouture.com/shoponline/accessoriesjewelry/newarrivals/pg0 It'll bring up all of Juicy's newest arrivals in the jewelry & accessories department, starting with what is most recent. You can change the filter to view charms only but it won't sort them the same way. Links straight to the ordering page are below!

Pink Alert: Free Charm at Juicy Couture

Tomorrow (Thursday, April 23rd) may be a good shopping day for those of you who live near a regular Juicy Couture boutique. Why? Spend $100 or more on any regular-priced jewelry purchase and receive a free charm. Juicy Couture Ala Moana says the charms being given out with purchases are the nail polish, yorkie in carrier, and banana (possibly banana split - not too clear on that).

So is it a good deal? It really all depends on how you shop. If you stick to buying in stores then yes, this is a great deal. You'll be able to stock up on pretty baubles and walk away with a free $48 charm. If you're an online shopper then no, this isn't that great of a deal. For one thing, no sale pieces can be used to reach your $100 mark. For another, you'll be paying full retail price for anything you purchase, as Juicy rarely offers discounts in-store. Personally I'm skipping the "sale" as I already have the free charms they're offering and managed to get most of the current charms at a discount from Revolve. I did, however, ask my very sweet SA to keep her eye out for the upcoming Panda for me. I'm very anxiously awaiting his arrival and plan on purchasing at least one extra.

This offer is not valid at outlets or JuicyCouture.com.

Pink Alert: eLuxury

As you may or may not know, eLuxury will be closing down the retail division of their website this summer. I've never really ordered a lot of charms from them since they rarely ever have great sales and shipping is a swift kick to the gut. However, the few charms that they do have left are at a really great discount, and shipping is free if you hit $100. As of today (04/21/09) here's what's left:

Viva La Juicy Frame, $29
Candy Corn, $29
LE Devil Yorkie, $29
Malibu Gold Tanning Oil, $25
Snow Boot, $29
Luxe Starter Necklace, $59
Starter Charm Bracelet, $25

They also have the LE Holiday Bracelet from '08 that includes the Christmas Tree, Stocking, and Snowflake charms (plus a really adorable heart that reads I ♥ Chocolate Santas - why was this never released individually?!) for $92. The major drawback to this bracelet, aside from the price, is that the charms are not removable.

Other Juicy accessories and jewelry pieces are available, but I've only listed the charm related stuff here. And as an added bonus, Lucky Rewards will get you 2% cash back on your purchase with eLuxury.

Update: I received an e-mail today from Louis Vuitton, stating that as of May 15th all of their products will be exclusive to their own website. Perhaps this is the official closing date for eLux? If so, the time to jump on merchandise is now.. less than a month left!
