Purchase of the Month!

Lately I have been shopping A LOT, but not for makeup. Since I am moving soon, all my money has gone to purchases for the new place. However, I had been holding on to some coupons for CVS and waiting for a sale, or good deal.

One of my coupons expires tomorrow, so I decided to go into CVS, even though there was a super great sale (there is their HUGE clearance sale going on, but my CVS was completely void of those particular items).

I looked around and Loreal had a special where if you spend $10, you get $3 back. I will get back to this info in a minute.

While I was there, I ran into a woman that was in her 70s and she was asking me some questions. She saw the sign about the beauty rewards, and I felt inspired to share my knowledge with you.

CVS has a beauty rewards program. Every $50 you spend, you get $5 back. Now, CVS is always having deals like spend $10, get $3, $4, and sometimes $7 back! When you use the "bucks" it counts as if you spent that money out of pocket. So, if you had a $20 purchase, and spent $20 in rewards, it would count as $20 toward that $50 mark you have to earn towards your rewards.

You can also sign up for emails to get even more coupons, plus every time you scan your rewards card at a CVS kiosk, it prints coupons tailored for you.

Okay, back to my "deal". I had my $5 reward, a $3 reward and a 25% coupon,

The Loreal "Lumi" foundation is about $13.50. After taxes, I paid about $3.50!

I had been wanting to try this foundation for the longest time, and have heard great reviews. I plan on doing my own once I have tried it out a few times. I am a loyal Revlon foundation user, but this has some potential.

For the best drugstore deals, you can always go to store's websites, and plan out how you want to spend not only your money, but "free" money as well.

I hope this was helpful.

Influenster Palmolive Review

I received some products from Influenster. If you don't know what Influenster is, it is a free program where you take surveys in order to earn badges. Once you earn certain badges, you may be selected to receive some products to try out and review. This box as different from others that I have received in the past because it was two full sized products from one brand (there are normally about 3-5 samples or full size items). So I made a little video of my review, which you can watch below.

Overall, I am pleased with this product. They both smell delicious, and my hands are super soft after washing dishes.

I have given the Coconut Butter version to my mom, and she seems to be enjoying it as well.

 

 

Hope you enjoyed this review, and I hope you get a chance to check out these amazing dishsoaps!

 

Have a great day!

"I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes." 

Some empties

I am currently working my way through some products so that I can make an "empties" post. I was actually thinking about making a video instead, just so that I can give quick reviews on the products I have used up and if I would repurchase them. Below is a picture of what I am currently almost out of (minus a couple other larger items).

 

I am actually really excited about working through these products and letting you know if you should check some of them out!

 

I am hoping to make the video before I move because I don't want to take empty bottles with me, so look out for a vid!

Just a head's up....

I know that many people in the online beauty community do monthly favorite's videos or posts. I was thinking about doing that, but in addition, I was thinking about featuring one product each week, so "Weekly Favorite" (just because I am uncreative with names). Let me know if this appeals to you.

The product featured may be something new, or something that I have had forever, but decided to start using it more.

I think that this will be helpful for me as well because I will have to think about what I use,  why I use it, and if I should streamline my collection.

Earth Day Look (Wet n' Wild)

I know Earth Day has passed, but I did a look to celebrate the day a few weeks back (and am just posting it now).

I really wanted to use the mint color in the Wet n' Wild Color Icon Medley palette that I did a review for here. The staying power was not as good as other WnW colors I have used in the past, but it is a great color, and appropriate for Earth Day.

Here a couple pictures of the look below:

 

I feel like the color really makes my eyes look chocolaty, which I love.

 

Overall, I do like the palette, and the price is a bargain.

 

Let me know if you like when I do these "look posts". I like sharing what I have created from time to time :)
