Colleen Rothschild Skincare: Best Ever Black Friday Cyber Monday Sales!

If you’ve been following this blog for a while you’ll already know I love Colleen Rothschild skin care and haircare products. I love them in my regular life, but also when I travel.

This post contains affiliate links, see disclosure for details.

I have a discount code that you can use throughout the year, CORINNA20. This gives you 20% off anything that’s not already discounted, which during the year is a smoking deal. But I just got notice that there’s a big sale for Black Friday and Cyber Monday over at Rothschild. From what I can see it’s 30% off, site wide, along with special deals which are incredible! The discount codes are at the bottom of this post.

The MVP Cleanser

My absolute ride or die product is the Colleen Rothschild Radiant Cleansing Balm. I can’t do without it. It travels the world with me (in a smaller container) and I always have a backup tub of it in my bathroom closet, A.K.A the makeup artist stock room. (In my other life I have been a makeup artist for 30+ years)

Colleen Rothschild cleanser — Colleen Rothschild Radiant Cleansing Balm

Here’s what I love about it:

It stays in this balm form until your emulsify it either in your fingers or on your face. This makes it the most perfect product on the planet for travel.
It dissolves makeup (even waterproof products!) and cleanses skin, all in one luxurious step.
It is super gentle even on sunburned or wind burned skin.
It seems to work on all skin types, from dry skin to stressed out or sensitive skin, normal to oily skins, it just works.
It’s super concentrated, so a tub lasts for ages. I normally buy 2 tubs in the Black Friday sale and they get me through most of the year.
I can easily scoop enough for 8 weeks travel with my Glam Italia Tours in Italy, into a small travel sized tub and it lasts. Because it is in a balm form it doesn’t leak or spill in your skincare bag.
Once you’ve cleansed with it, your skin doesn’t feel pulled or tight – it feels nourished, like you’ve just had a facial.

Favorite Travel Moisturizer

If you’ve ever traveled to Italy in the summer you’ll already know it’s very humid. So if you want your skin to stay hydrated but not have your makeup slide right off, you need a product that works well in heat and humidity. I travel with Colleen Rothschild Sheer Renewal Cream, which despite its name is actually a lightweight product that still packs a punch.

Colleen Rothschild Sheer Recovery Cream — Sheer Renewal Cream

Here’s what I love most about it:

It has a lightweight texture, yet still gives your skin ample hydration. (Skin that isn’t hydrated enough looks old. So let’s keep our skin looking young!)
It has an almost powdery finish, so makeup doesn’t slide off.
It gives your skin protection from environmental pollutants
It somehow burs and diffuses fine lines, which also helps you look more youthful.
I travel with the travel size version, but even the full size tube packs well, and neither size leaks in your skincare bag.

Facial Oil #9

I have used this facial oil for years now, and absolutely swear by it.

Facial Oil Number 9 is made up of 9 transformative oils that work together synergistically to moisturize and nourish your skin on a deeper level. I use this one at night, after my nighttime moisturizer. It doesn’t have an oily finish, so doesn’t wreck your pillowcase.

Colleen Rothschild Face Oil Number 9 — Colleen Rothschild Face Oil 9

Here’s what I love most:

It gives your skin a super boost. My skin is naturally dry, so drinks this up in a second.
It doesn’t have a greasy finish.
It comes in a pump action container, so doesn’t spill or make a mess.
The full size isn’t too big to travel with, although I use the travel size when I’m not at home.
If you get windburned or sunburned it gives you extra soothing results.

Travel Sized Products

If you don’t want to make a huge commitment but still want to try the Colleen Rothschild skin care products, I recommend getting the Discovery Kit. This is a kit with 7 products in travel sizes. There are the three products above, as well as a make, a night cream and a skin polish. There are several other travel kits, but this is my favorite. On Cyber Monday there is a mega discount on the Discovery Kit

** I refill the Radiant Cleansing Balm travel size tub from my full sized one as needed.

Cyber Monday: from November 27th-29th to get 30% discount site wide, PLUS special deals including a mega discount on the Discovery kit, use the discount code CM22

Holiday Season Sales You Need To Know About At Colleen Rothschild Beauty

As a non stop traveler one of my favorite things to do when the Christmas season gets cranking is to pick up travel sized gift sets of my favorite products.

The post contains affiliate links

If you’ve been following this blog for a while then you will already know that I am an avid fan of Colleen Rothschild beauty products. I have been using Colleen Rothschild Beauty for a few years now, and although I keep full sizes of the products at home I also get the travel sized products to take on my Glam Italia Tours with me.

Right now Colleen Rothschild has some fantastic discounts happening for the run up to Christmas, both on full sized products and on gift sets. If there is something you want that isn’t already discounted you can use the code CORINNA20 at checkout and get 20% off. This code works year round, not just in the holiday season.

WHICH GIFT SETS SHOULD YOU TRY?

For travel or if you just wanted to try the products without committing to full sizes, I like the Discovery Kit. This gives travel sizes in the following products:

Radiant Cleansing Balm, 30 ml (1 fl oz)
Dual Enzyme Polish, 15 ml (0.5 fl oz)
Clarifying Detox Mask, 15 ml (0.5 fl oz)
Sheer Renewal Cream, 30 ml (1 fl oz)
Extreme Recovery Cream, 15 ml (0.5 fl oz)
Face Oil N°9, 4 ml (0.14 fl oz)
Muslin Cleansing Cloth
And a newly redesigned exclusive CR Travel Bag

The Discovery Kit has a $150 value but at the moment is on sale for $69. If you don’t see this post until after the sale has ended you can use my CORINNA20 code to get 20% off.

This summer I traveled Italy for just under 3 months, using the Quench and Shine Travel Essentials hair set, and it was fantastic. (Obviously across 3 months I went through more than one set)

At home I am never without my two hair hero products from Colleen Rothschild, the Quench and Shine Restorative Mask, which I use on my hair almost every time I shampoo it an the Quench and Shine Hair Serum. These two products make my thick, coarse, dry hair completly managable and really glossy and shiny. I also really love the smell of them – the fragrance is gorgeous.

Everything you need for gorgeous hair while you’re away. (And at home!)

This set is completed with the Quench and Shine Restorative Shampoo and the Protect and Perfect Styling Cream. These 4 products are everything you need for fabulous, bouncy hair, both at home and when you travel.

This set is normally $54 but at the moment it is on sale for $39. If you are reading this after the sale has ended you can still use CORINNA20 to get a discount.

WHICH OTHER PRODUCTS SHOULD YOU LOOK AT?

I have loved all the Collen Rothschild products I have tried. My skin tends to get really dry while I’m at home in Phoenix, but then turns to normal when I’m in Italy where the air is much more humid.

Wherever I am in the world I swaer by the Radiant Cleansing Balm, to the point I always have a spare in my bathroom closet.

Radiant Cleansing Balm – the best cleanser ever.

This cleanser not only dissolves makeup, including the most stubborn waterproof mascaras and eyeliners, but it also gives your skin a beautiful deep cleanse. Most cleansers leave your skin feeling parched and pulled tight, but this one leaves your skin all glowy and supple. It’s an absolute game changer.

The regular pricing for Radiant Cleansing Balm is $65. It lasts a really long time. At the moment it is on sale for $49

I always use Face Oil Number 9 and I swear by the Hydrating Mask. At home where the air is so dry I mostly use the Extreme Recovery Cream (which isn’t that extreme – it’s just a really great moisturizer for dryer complections) and all summer long in Italy I use the Sheer Renewal Cream mositurizer. It is perfect both for normal climates and for when it’s really humid out. This moisturizer is a game changer. Although the other three are not discountd (unless you use my CORINNA20 code) the Hydrating Mask has a massive discount right now, so I’m buying up a couple of them.

Colleen Rothschild black Tourmaline Primer

Another of my favorite products is the Black Tourmaline Face Primer. This one is also not discounted but you can use my code for 20% off. I use the Black Tourmaline primer both when I do my own makeup, and also I have one in my pro makeup artist kit. Don’t be put off by the black color – once on your skin it evens skin tone, diminishes fine lines and wrinkles and also protect the skin from environmental pollutants.

Colleen Rothschild Primer ~ Why You’ll Love It And Why You Need It

This post contains affiliate links. See disclosure for details

How are you supposed to figure out which is the right primer for you?

What Should A Primer Do?

As you navigate your way through shopping for a new primer there are several things you need to be watching for. A primer’s job is to provide a nice, even barrier between your skincare and your makeup. It gives makeup something to grip on to, preps your skin for an ideal makeup application, and helps it look even and smooth.

Primer also needs to make your makeup wear evenly and last longer. On top of that it needs to have a blurring effect, making your skin look fresh but not shiny.

Not All Primers Are Created Equal

No doubt you’ve already played with primers in the past. You’ve probably experienced primers drying your skin out, leaving an ashy cast to your complexion, and even pilling up under your foundation, giving it a bumpy finish.

So it’s really important to get the right primer.

Why You Need Colleen Rothschild Black Tourmaline Primer

Colleen Rothschild Black Tourmaline Primer is a brand new primer, and is one you need to know about. I’ve been using it for a little over a month, both on myself and on photoshoots and ad campaigns. (My day job is a makeup artist.)

**Colleen Rothschild Primer** at a photo shoot

Here’s what I’ve found:

It is beautifully sheer – it doesn’t create a thick layer on your skin.
It doesn’t pill up of bubble under your foundation.
It mattifies your oily patches without making the skin look dry.
You can wear it alone if you don’t feel like wearing foundation. Somehow it evens your color and texture and makes your skin look fresh.
It blurs fine lines and wrinkles.

Other Benefits:

Black gemstone powder creates a protective barrier against environmental stressrs and pollutants.
Black Truffle is both rich in minerals, which nourish the skin and also provide a mattfying property.
It reduces the appearance of your pores.

Other Information

As with all Colleen Rothschild Beauty products I have tried, this one is very concentrated – a small amount goes a really long way. When you try this primer start with a single pump and only add more if you need it.

It’s already summer time here in Phoenix so we are already feeling less inclined to wear a full face of foundation. I like wearing this primer alone over my skin care and facial SPF. It seems to even out the complexion and leaves the skin with a lovely, even texture. I will be traveling with this primer this summer and using it either alone or under a BB Cream.

Colleen Rothschild Discount Code

I have been using these products for more than a year now and absolutely love them. I reached out to the company and asked for a discount code so my blog readers and Newsletter members could benefit from supporting me. You can chceck out the Colleen Rothschild Beauty website HERE and use the discount code CORINNA20. If there is a better discount available when you shop, use that one. If there is no promo code available just use the CORINNA20 and get 20% off everything that isn’t already discounted.
