Good afternoon my wonderful readers! :) As you can see I'm pretty ecstatic that it's finally Friday, meaning that the start of my weekend is mere hours away.
I'm sure most of you are already aware that Saks Fifth Avenue's Friend & Family Event is just days away, running from April 16-19, 2009. My sources (LOL meaning Nicole) tell me that the discount this year will be 15% on fragrances and cosmetics, so if you've been planning any makeup purchases at Saks, definitely hold off!
I've got a little something special waiting for you after the jump ~ check it out!
So as a reward to those of you who bother to check after the jump (and take the time to read my posts), I've got a little surprise for you! :) You may have noticed that the photo above looks a little off ~ I was having a little too much fun playing on Photobucket! So here's what my graphic looked like after I'd added just the text:
Name all the differences that you see between the two images in the comments below to win a small mystery prize. Please submit your comments by midnight (E.S.T.) April 15th! Winner to be chosen at random amongst entrants who correctly identify all differences.
Oh and of course please share what you'll be getting during Saks F&F! :)

Me too sarahPUFFY! I only wish I had photoshop or something so that I could've made this cooler by making the difference much more subtle.
Great job Tanya! :)
Yu great eyes!! Thanks for commenting :)
Totally allowed Sara! :)
Krasey I got one of those too! I'm waiting to shop in store though--there's just something so satisfying about purchasing things in person :)
I hope that we'll be getting the F&F e-mail soon!
We must work right around each other--I work a few blocks from Saks too!
Aleksis I've been wanting to pick up a BB gel liner in a color other than black--I've seen some gorgeous shimmery ones from them. And I've been wanting to try that Luminous Silk foundation too!
Sarah you have a great weekend too! <3

Thanks for taking the time to play my game Invie! I LOVE having little games on the blog--hence the Hangman at the bottom lol.
Lilconstance my credit card's going to hate me by the end of this month!
Hullo Jen!
What are you planning to buy? I can only live vicariously through you, so do spill ;D
I just noticed that in my excitement, I added an extra S in (6). It's supposed to be 'Butterflies at window' and not windows
Hi Lilconstance!
Hmmm that's a great question lol. I'm leaving for Korea in a matter of days (shhh I haven't broken the news officially on the blog--i don't want my readers going through jen-withdrawal!) so I'm trying to save my crazy shopping for duty free. This time around I don't have much of a plan for Saks--it's going to be more of a "walk around and buy whatever catches my eye" thing. Any suggestions? ;)
Are you asking a girl that hasn't been to the US on what to buy? Oh gosh, I'm so excited, I can't think of anything haha!! Oooh how about the shimmer bloc from Laura Mercier?
I think I'm better suited to help with the shopping in Korea haha. I'm very sure that they have Shiseido Integrate there, hmmm what else? Oh yes, some Skin Food masks, Etude House, Banila Co, Orbis! I'm so envious! How long is your vacay?
Lilconstance from what I've seen that's a beauty! I love the floral imprint, the color scheme--pretty much everything but the price!
I'm definitely going to be looking for SkinFood, Etude House & Banila Co. while in Korea--this will be my first time really shopping for Korean makeup, since I used to always stick to the non-Korean brands at duty free. It's going to be an adventure!
I'll be in Korea for a week or so :)
Here are the differences I see:
1. bottle on top of trash can
2. green dollar sign on trash can
3. plus sign design on window
4. butterflies on window
5. white square above snowflake
6. bunny ears on mailbox
7. yellow "friends" sign above doorway
8. comment bubble from manequin
9. blue snowflake
10. sun
11. flower
12. alien/robot/ufo thingy in street
I would like to try and take advantage of the family and friends deal and maybe add to my brush collection. I am dying for a two toned/skunk/stippling Laura Mercier finishing brush, also her smokey eye liner brush looks worth a try. As far as products the Clinique Quick Blush and anything from Nars summer collection if its out. lol!
Haha yeah, everything about LM's shimmer bloc is gorgeous, except the price ;)
Have fun in Korea, my dear! I'll definitely miss you! =D
Taylo I've had my eye on that Laura Mercier brush too!
Thanks lilconstance! My trip got postponed, but I'm still definitely looking forward to it!
