Is beauty in your program? NGC carries the premier prestige beauty retailer, Sephora. In the U.S. Sephora has nearly 400 standalone stores and over 500 locations in JCPenney’s conveniently located throughout the country. Consumers can shop from a curated assortment of the best beauty brands featuring more than 14,000 products including makeup, skin care, perfume, hair care, body, professional tools and more.

Thanks to Sephora’s affiliate program, the brand has become a household name. YouTubers from across the U.S. have created make-up tutorials, look books and more to actively spread awareness of the brand. In addition, Sephora allows consumers to try products before they buy, making sure the end look is something the shopper truly wants. Sephora stores are a beauty education hub, offering consultations at the Beauty Studio, a variety of complimentary classes, one-on-one services from Personal Beauty Advisors, and exclusive, in store digital experiences.

For kids, and even some adults, the last day in October—Halloween—is a time for fun and frivolity. Yes, we'll add "scary" to some descriptions, but there's nothing frightening when it comes to finding ways to use this time of year as an opportunity to show your appreciation through gift cards from two great brands—Target and Bed Bath & Beyond. National Gift Card features both brands in their portfolio, so the only thing remaining is to choose one—or perhaps both--to say "thanks" and add to the fun.

Chances are, whether you pick a gift card from Target or Bed Bath &Beyond, you'll have a "monster" hit on your hands.

Every year we promise ourselves that we'll do a better job - or at least try - when it comes to getting ready for the holidays.  Note to self: this is that time.

Thankfully, the resources available for turning "should have done" into "got it done" are more extensive and accessible than ever.
