Received my Target Beauty Bag!

I put this in my suitcase while packing and decided I should probably take a photograph of it and post about my Target Beauty Bag that I had received. In case you're unaware, Target has been hosting these beauty bag "giveaways" to individuals who sign up to receive one either through their website or through a designated facebook page. When I hear the beauty bag giveaway was active, I jumped on the website and waited patiently for it to load, entered my information and again, waited patiently for it to go thru. A few weeks later I received my bag in the mail!

One thing I love about these beauty bags is that the bag provided is usually adorable and is a great size to hold personal items for yourself in your own purse/travel bag, etc. You can put anything in it, really, make-up, personal hygiene items, etc.

The items I received in this particular beauty bag are as follows:

- TreSemme Split Remedy Shampoo & Conditioner
- Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch SPF 70
- Aveeno Smart Essentials Daily Exfoliating Scrub
- Garnier Fructis Color Shield Shampoo & Conditioner
- Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter - Peach Parfait
- Target coupon book

40% off Revlon HAUL!

 

 

I was far too excited to not share this haul so I wanted to post this quickly, especially since the sale is going on this week. I've been wanting to try the new Revlon Kissable Just Bitten Balm Stains and I knew Rite Aid is having a 40% off sale off Revlon this week! So what'd that mean? I drove to Rite Aid yesterday to pick some up BUT my Rite Aid didn't have any. I asked the girl to call the other local store and she went into the office and was gone for literally 15 minutes. She apparently called a few different stores and found one that "had" them. Yeah, I went to that store and they had lip butters NOT balm stains -- so that made me totally annoyed LOL. So I went home and started calling around different stores. Today, I got home from a very long day and spoke to an associate at a store about 15 minutes away and she said they had 2 displays which were relatively full. AHH!! So I jumped in my car and flew to Rite Aid. The 40% off applies to makeup items -- not polish (those are $2.99 this week). I had a $2 off coupon at Target BUT they didn't have any when I went yesterday and the deal at Rite Aid made them like 30 cents cheaper. With the sale this week the balm stains will ring up $5.39 each without any applicable sales tax.

So here's what I picked up:

- Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter - Lollipop
- Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain - 025 Sweetheart Valentine
- Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain - 005 Crush Beguin
- Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain- 001 Honey Douce

I have not tried them as of yet, but if I do find I enjoy them, I am DEFINITELY hitting up Rite Aid again before the sale ends Saturday night to pick up a few more shades!

FOTD & OOTD – Anniversary Look!

It’s been SUPER chilly here as of late and since I knew the BF and I would be doing a lot of walking outside and spending the day with one another doing a number of things I wanted to be comfortable. I’m big on comfort, so I went with a pair of flare jeans and one of my flowy tops that I had picked up at Kohl’s. Typically I wear leggings with this top but since it was too chilly for leggings, I paired it with my jeans. Since its so low cut I wore one of my grey tank tops that I had picked up during a recently haul at Big Lots. For shoes I went with my black zipper front flats that I had picked up at K-Mart for a whopping $6 on the clearance shelf!

So there you have it my outfit of the day AND face of the day from Monday!

QUESTION:
Do you have and/or use any of the beauty items mentioned above?
Would you wear the outfit I chose to wear?

$3.77 Target Haul!

You read that correctly, I only paid $3.77 for these three items!  How’d I manage to pull this one off?  Well, Michelle pointed out that there was a $2.00 off Revlon coupon available to print on coupons.com, so I went onto the site and printed off the max that you can (which in most cases is 2, sometimes only 1 depending on the coupon).  I knew I REALLY wanted the Red Velvet lip butter and I was going to make it a priority of mine to find it at Target to get to use this coupon.  The only reason I went to Target yesterday was to 1) return a shirt I picked up for my little cousin because I needed a 3T instead of a 2T AND I needed a refrigerator light bulb.  Essentials, but the beauty section and I are BFF’s.

I found TWO Revlon lip butter displays; the first one only had Cotton Candy, Tutti Fruity and Fig Jam on it.  The other one had more, but since it was a little higher than eye level I was picking up colors and reading what they were on the bottom.  I just about squealed when I found the one and only Red Velvet in the store AND it was untouched!  Double score!  The lip butters sell for $6.49 at Target.  Since there wasn’t another lip butter shade available that caught my eye I started looking at the polishes.  I’ve been obsessed with neutral shades AND glitters, so I snagged a pink polish, expecting it to be $3.99 but it was an unmarked clearance item on sale for $1.98!  I then found the Yes to Carrots lip tint on the clearance shelf.  I had a$2.00 off any Yes to Carrots lip product that I had picked off a display I had seen a few weeks ago and was waiting to find a good opportunity to use it.

So here’s what I picked up:
-    Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter – Red Velvet. Originally $6.49, minus the $2 Revlon coupon, this came out to be $4.49.
-   Revlon Nail Enamel – Sparkling. Originally $3.99, on sale for $1.98. After the $2 off Revlon coupon the 2 cent overage went toward the remaining balance.
-    Yes to Carrots Lip Tint – C Me Blush. This was originally almost $5, but was marked down to $1.30 over a period of time. The 70 cents overage was put towards the rest of my purchase.

Overall not a bad deal at all!  I got the lip butter I’ve been searching for, for just about half price and got 2 products for free in the process.  Hooray Target!
