I was cruising my nearby Macy’s last week when I spotted something akin to a mirage in the middle of the desert. I almost dropped my half-caf latte! There, before me in the middle of the cosmetics department, sat a brand spankin’ new Elizabeth Arden counter.

“Wha!?”

I was so bummed when EA left Macy’s a few years ago. I’d been craving a new tube of Ceramide Mascara, so I hustled over to the new counter to restock.

It turns out the line is baaaack! Yup, Bay Area babes, we’ll have yet another reason to prowl our local Macy’s makeup counters.

Bay Area gals, look for Elizabeth Arden counters to open at the following stores this spring:
Roseville, Walnut Creek, Concord, Stonestown (San Francisco), Eastridge (San Jose), Serramonte (Daly City), Northgate (San Rafael), Salinas (Northridge), Hilltop (Richmond), Bay Fair (San Leandro), Cupertino, Sunnyvale (Town Center) and Corte Madera.

Live outside the area? No problem. Get your Elizabeth Arden fix online at Macys.com.

To celebrate the news, Elizabeth Arden is hooking us up with a HELLA SWEET giveaway, and it’s open to Makeup and Beauty Blog readers everywhere (even international).

Get ready, because it’s one of the biggest MBB giveaways to date! 🙂
