Whole Foods Market on the Peninsula is hosting “Natural Glow, Makeup and Pampering” during the next two weekends, Saturday and Sunday Jan. 23-24 and Jan. 30-31, 2016. See end of article for various locations’ dates and times.

The events, which take place at four stores (a different one each day), include free mini-makeovers, free goody bags, and refreshments. Makeup artists from Gabriel Cosmetics/Zuzu will be available at all four events. Artists from Dr. Hauschka will be at three locations: all but San Mateo. Artists from Mineral Fusion will be visiting just the Los Altos and San Mateo stores.

For the mini-makeovers, reservations are recommended but not required. These are available through customer service at each store location. Another bonus: during the pampering events, customers can participate in a special “do-it-yourself aromatherapy activity” by Aura Cacia at each store.

The makeup/pampering series leads up to Whole Foods Market’s annual pre-Valentine’s sale during Valentine’s Day weekend (Feb. 12-14), when all makeup and lip balm is discounted by 25%. Individuals who take part during the next two weekends can place pre-orders at the events. If you can’t make the events, you can also visit the stores anytime between Jan. 27-Feb. 11 for the pre-sale.

In terms of refreshments, the Palo Alto store will have complimentary sparkling rose and chocolate truffle samples available. Los Altos will offer hard cider samples with cheese pairings, plus coconut bites by Wonderfully Raw. The store will also be featuring free chair massages.  Redwood City will be serving a few appetizer platters plus healthy “superfood” tonics. San Mateo will have wine samples, and possibly cheese.

Curious about what else the markets are featuring during this series? Many other sales are occurring at the same time. For example, organic blueberries are on sale for $3.99, organic Opal apples are $1.99/lb., and Saffron Road frozen entrees are 2 for $7 — all through Jan. 26. Then, from Jan. 29-31, hair care and color products are discounted by 25% at WFM locations in Northern California.
