Pixel Pink is back in stock! + awesome Lancome coupon code

I have been wanting to get Lancome’s limited edition Pixel Pink lipstick for Thakoon ever since it came out but I missed the online ordering date and it was sold out within like a day!  So I looked on ebay and they were going for as high as $40-$50 each.  Um no thanks, I’m not going to pay that much for a freaking lipstick.  The only places to get it were Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, and Lancome boutiques.  None of those I am close to, except for Neiman Marcus but I feel rather intimidated walking into that store.  Yesterday when I was browsing the Lancome website, I noticed that the lipstick is back in stock!  While $25 is kind of pricey for a lipstick, I am justifying it because it’s limited edition.  OK bad justification, but the color really intrigued me and if anything, I want to be able to have the actual product so that I can go look for dupes in the event that I finish this precious tube.  I then proceeded to throw in the Aqua Fusion Cream with SPF15 since I am running out of my morning moisturizer and looking for a good replacement with SPF, and after Arashi’s thorough review on it, of course I had to try it out.  Then I looked up some Lancome.com codes and actually found two that were very good!

Lancome codes:
- SPRINGCLEAN – deluxe gift and free shipping with orders $50+ (this one is not as good as the next one, the deluxe gift is just the standard pack of stuff they give you at the Lancome counters when they have GWP events, basically includes some mascara sample, little bottle of Bi-Facil, some skincare sample, and eyeshadow quad)  Expires 3/31/2008

- HAPPYHOUR -  this one is the one I used.  I just tried it now and it no longer works!  That sucks, I wish I could’ve told you guys earlier I’m glad I got to order it last night before it ended today.  I was surprised to see what this included after I refreshed the page:

The Tawny Rose lipstick sample is from signing up for a Lancome.com membership.  Those 2 compacts of color look interesting, even though I have experience with Lancome eyeshadows having little to no pigment, but I’ll still take free stuff.  And how RANDOM is that kabuki brush?  The picture even looks all sketchy, like someone just took a picture of her kabuki brush or something, doesn’t look very professional and something Lancome would offer.  I’ll just have to wait until I get my order and see.
