To begin with, Coco Bella is having a giveaway on her blog, so check that out :)
I also really like my friend Maggie whom I became acquaintances with a while back on Youtube, but she's now a successful blogger!
To my ... rambling.
So, this not purchasing makeup plan really hasn't work out well. I started I want to say on the 14th, which was the last time I went to a drugstore, and I was doing well ... Until the 21st, which was this last Friday. You know, the trick really is to not go to any stores.
But anyhow, I didn't bring my wallet because I didn't expect to spend any money, and I'm broke anyways, so I was like "oh, I'll just walk around Walgreens/CVS and see what's there to make me feel happy."
Didn't work out.
At Walgreens, there weren't that many clearances, just a couple things I wasn't interested in (and knowing Walgreens, they usually don't have the best clearance prices anyway) but I picked up the L'Oreal Bare Naturale pressed mineral powder for $4.79 ($7.79 w/ a $3 off coupon from their coupon book) and the Clean&Clear Advantage Mark treatment for $3.49 (50% off) which I was happy about.
Then I went to CVS, and, oh my goodness, so many things were on clearance! 50% off's in some Maybelline lip products, the Pure makeup I bought just a while back... they even have some Orly and Seche Vite on sale! 75% off Sally Hansen lip products, the L'Oreal powder I just bought -_- and certain other stuff. I picked up three things:
I recently also ordered the Shu Uemura eyelash curler from a seller on Ebay from Hong Kong. It says she'll ship in 3 business days but God knows when it'll actually come in the mail.
I don't know if I told you guys already, but I'm moving tomorrow, the 24th, and all my makeup have already been transported there, so I don't have them ready to take pictures right now. On the plus side, by the time I film a video everything will be settled in :)
Haven't been filming lately b/c I had the largest cystic acne spot on my left cheek, ughhhhhh. Don't know why this is happening, prom is in around 2 weeks and I get this pimple. I guess it's better than last year when it came the week of.
This isn't the most exciting post ever, but I just really felt like it today.
If you made it this far reading, thanks!
By the way, if you're in a bad mood, watch this video, it's hilarious :)
Haha, thanks for the mention, Connie! :)
ReplyDeleteI've been pretty good on not buying makeup too (except for that minor haul on Friday). I really could have gone longer without buying makeup but...I just couldn't resist the savings!
I was itching to buy some of those Maybelline lippies too, but I wanted to keep my haul relatively small. I have my eye on the Moisture Extreme lipstick in Windsor Rose, though.
I've had so much acne lately too! But it's cleared a little now that I'm using my old cleanser again. Hope everything will be fine for prom! :)
And regarding the coupons; I get them from coupon.com (there's one that's $3 off L'Oreal Elnett hairspray and another for Sunsilk this week), redplum.com (there's one for Nivea lipcare, L'Oreal makeup, and other beauty items) and some from the little displays at the drugstore. For the coupons from the websites, you just have to install a little coupon printing program (for free, it asks you the first time you try to print them) and then you can print them to use! :D
SORRY ABOUT THE RIDICULOUSLY LONG COMMENT. It's almost like a blog post, haha.
Thanks a lot for the coupons Maggie! :)
ReplyDeleteHaha yeah, sales are just too tempting for me, I have to get something! But I'm getting better at reconsidering what I actually need now.
When's your prom? Take lots of pictures!
