In case you haven't heard about this Butter LONDON offer...

Long story short: I want to thank everyone who took the time to comment/email/tweet/etc. about this special offer over the last 24 hours. I actually heard about this offer last week, but at that time it was a blogger-only preview. So when I started receiving comments about it on the You Tell Me page yesterday, I deleted them because I wasn't sure if this offer was supposed to go live yet (apologies to those of you who left comments and found them deleted--I just wanted to be safe and double-check with my contact before sharing with the community).

Now that we've gotten that out of the way, I just received an updated email from my contact and I'm delighted to share it here with you today:

As you may have heard, Coterie.com launched their exclusive early access to members who signed up pre-launch. As we've noticed this exclusive early offer is in demand, we've decided to roll it out to our insiders today. This exclusive offer gives members $25 towards their first purchase on ANY Coterie collection launching on the site. This early access offer is only available through Monday, 9/17 12 noon EST! You can use the $25 offer towards our current preview offer with butter LONDON or any other future offer sold on Coterie. (If you love butter, you'll love what's coming next!)

Go to:             http://www.coterie.com/preview

NOTE: if you get a "SOLD OUT" message upon trying to access the butter LONDON offer, keep trying. I've heard from a few readers that they've been able to sign out and sign back in a little while later and make a purchase. It looks like Coterie is trying to keep these polishes in stock as best they can (obviously this is a very popular offer).

So what will this code get you? The following set + FREE GROUND SHIPPING

(remember, you'll deduct $25 from this price):

(OR THREE LACQUERS + A MATTE TOP COAT)

The color choices:

Three Butter LONDON nail lacquers plus a top coat for $11 and free shipping.
That's quite a deal considering that these polishes retail for $14 each.

For Immediate Release

Introducing COTERIE
A New Social Commerce Site that is Obsessive and Compulsive About Your Beloved Beauty Buys

San Francisco, CA (September 13, 2012)- Debuting September 17, 2012, Coterie is a new online shopping experience designed for the ultra-busy, social and savvy modern woman that makes discovering and purchasing prestige beauty products informational, social and effortless.

Based in San Francisco, California, www.coterie.com is founded by a team that fuses in-depth beauty industry knowledge backed by Silicon Valley technology expertise.  Catherine Magee, Co-Founder and Senior Vice President of Marketing, states “Beauty is driven significantly by friend and influencer word of mouth. Word of mouth is the top driver of beauty purchases and influences over 80% of beauty products purchased today . The advent of social networks makes this sharing even more pervasive and efficient.” Coterie is at the center of this trend integrating social- and peer-influenced conversations with a next generation e-commerce model.

Specifically, Coterie features a selection of the most noteworthy prestige beauty products coupled with rich content and exclusive introductory offers to help women discover and discuss beauty with ease. All Coterie offers are exclusive and cannot be found anywhere else, in retail locations or online. As a tidal wave of shoppers continues moving online, (114 million women in the US shop online today  driving a social commerce CAGR of 94% ) Coterie aims to capture her with its compelling social shopping experience.

Upon joining www.coterie.com, members will gain access to a selection of prestige beauty products presented in collaboration with the world’s most influential beauty brands, experts and influencers.  In fact, today’s most exciting influencers will play an important role in the site; they will be the first to create a personal “virtual beauty vanity” to showcase their favorite products enabling women to shop and buy them.

In turn, starting in October, each member can create their own “virtual vanity” and purchase and replenish products with a click of a button.

Coterie will also be providing behind-the-scenes beauty looks, tricks of the trade and respected advice from the most sought out forces in the beauty industry- hair stylists, makeup artists, dermatologists, and manicurists.
