Welcome To My Joint!
Hello, thank you for visiting my blog. Click on any picture to enlarge and view the Disclaimer at the very bottom.
I specifically went to
Walmart so dang early in the morning (9:00, well at least to me it's early after a holiday, haha) to get these puffer jackets that were
originally $15. But the
doorbuster price from 5 am to 11 am was only
$8. Can't beat that. The only wearable color left in size small was red so that's for me! I sure didn't want hot pink, lime green, or dark purple. Then the medium black one is for my Mom. She doesn't really have a warm coat and although this is just polyester fill, it's
very warm with it's
fleece lined neckline and pockets.
Eight bucks!I can't ever live in snowy areas. My California bones don't get along with the cold. =)
Besides this, I only bought the two L'Oreal items in my previous posts this shopping day. The electronics section was jampacked like crazy where you couldn't even walk right so I just decided it wasn't worth it.
Did you hear about the Walmart worker who was trampled to death when he/she opened the doors in the morning? That is so crazy and tragic. Maybe from now on shopping will be made safer because of this incident. Sorry I had to end on a sad note...
CYBER MONDAY is coming soon! More deals on the way...
Everyone could use a discount, especially in today's economy. My favorite two websites for finding
discount codes are:
GWP Addict &
RetailMeNot.com.
Another good tip is to sign up for a website's newsletter and they will send you discount codes to your email. Ulta, MAC, Sephora, e.l.f., Clinique and many other websites will frequently send you codes that offer free shipping or a certain percentage off your order.
Also, try googling "discount code", "blog" and the website you are shopping at. Many blogs will list codes.
I hope this helps and happy shopping!
P.S.
Sephora will have a
friends & family code valid from
Nov. 6- Nov. 10. You'll receive
20% off your order when you enter "
FF2008" at checkout but you won't be able to combine this code with any other.
Through Nov. 10, enter code "
COMFORT" at checkout @
Clinique.com and receive free shipping plus a .05 oz High Definition Mascara in black and a .17 oz Superbalm Moisturizing Gloss in Grapefruit.
So I caved because
Clinique is having an
online bonus where you can choose between
3 different sets that come in a white and silver floral wristlet. Click on the
link to take you there to see what's inside each. (Hmm, and I'm supposed to be on a NO BUY. I promise I won't buy any makeup at one time over 10 bucks until MAC comes out with their Hello Kitty collection next February.) So I opted for the
Professional Polish set because I liked that lipstick the best.
Then for my regular purchase, I picked up the
Instant Pretty Limited Edition holiday set for
$36. That comes with a full size 0.5 oz
All About Eyes, which I had already purchased not too long ago and I wish I had waited because this is
$27.50 by itself. It also comes with a 1.7oz
Take the Day Off, Black High Impact Mascara sample, a mini
Long Last Soft Shine Lipstick in Twilight Nude,
an eyeshadow palette with 6 Colour Surge Eyeshadow shades and a
silver cosmetics bag.
Wait! Then I got
FREE SHIPPING by using the code "
FALLBEST" (which expires Oct. 27) and that also comes with
2 samples:
Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion (which I dislike anyway) and
Turnaround Concentrate Visible Skin Renewer.
So plus tax, the
grand total only cost me
$38.88.
What a steal!...
Now do I need more makeup? But how can I pass this up! I'm definitely getting the black one and hold up! Their
single eyeshadows are
ON SALE for $2.50 and that's with a
BOGO so they're
only $1.25 EACH.
Regular price is $7.00, which actually went up recently from $6.50. OH SNAP! ::adding to cart:::
L to R: Cashmere, Golden Olive, Rose Dusk, Plum Smoke
These are the only 4 I already have and I love them!
Oh and if you were wondering about Ulta eyeshadows, they are very
good quality for the size and price. They're
pigmented and
creamy and it's
more than twice the amount of a MAC eyeshadow. So they don't fit in standard sized palettes but you can make one with a
CD case. Check out my previous post where I made a
magnetic CD palette.And if you were wondering how I
depotted them, I just used my
nail file and
pressed the top edge of the pan down and away from the eyeshadow until the opposite end popped out of the case. Then while pressing down with one hand, I tried to
pull the pan up and out with the other hand at the same time. It's easy but a little tricky. What holds the eyeshadow in place is that sticky kind of glue that peels off nicely. If you get little samples of anything that open like a book, you know what I'm talking about. It kind of looks like clear snot. LOL. I think it's called
museum glue or something. Anyways, there's a little dot of that near the bottom center of Ulta eyeshadows. It would be really hard for me to do a video on that because of the angle.
