Holiday Bargains

One of the best part of the holidays that many people forget about are the sales that happen afterwards!

Recently on a little trip to Christopher & Banks I came across two of the cutest pair of earrings in the 50% off bin.

They were originally $12.95 each but I only paid $5.00 a pair, which is an absolute steal!

I can still wear these earrings now that it's winter because they aren't too Christmas related and I'm very impressed with the quality, most earrings I buy make my ears hurt a bit from the metal but so far no issues with these.

So keep your eyes peeled when you're out shopping because you never know what little deals you're going to come across!

Bath & Body Works Semi Annual Haul 2012 (In Black & White)!

CVS Steals

I was at CVS with my mom today just browsing around and we found some fab clearance goodies hidden away in the back of the store!

I picked up two Revlon Colorburst Lipsticks in "Lilac" for $1.50 a piece.

This is such a gorgeous fall plumy-pink color, I can't imagine why it was so cheap unless its been discontinued?! But I'm not complaining!

My second score was a double pack of Softlips in the cherry flavor for $.75!

I know Softlips re-did their packaging, so that's probably why these were so cheap.

They smell a little cough-syrupy, but I have a bit of a cold at the moment so its not really a problem :)!

I'm gonna go drag myself back into bed since this recent sickness has seemed to have taken all my energy with it, but I hope you all are having a fabulous week so far ♥.

Now I got all this before Physicians Formula made their Facebook announcement this morning, saying that their $5.00 off coupon is now invalid because it clearly cannot be used in conjunction with a sale, and that is considered "misuse" of the coupon.

I find that to be a bunch of bull! It's up to the drugstore's discretion of whether or not to allow customers to use a coupon in conjunction with a sale, helloooo, that's the only reason most people would use them!

I've heard about people still being able to use the $5.00 off coupon because the stores are saying its illegal for Physicians Formula to recall it before the expiration date, so you may get lucky and still be able to use it along with CVS's $6 off sale.

I'm certainly not going to feel bad for getting Physicians Formula products for next to nothing. Makeup is not a necessity for me since I need to start saving my money for college expenses/an apartment, so will I lose any sleep over it? Nope. I think I'm quite savy for getting such a deal, and its not like I'm hoarding all the products for myself, I share them with my friends and lovely mom.

I'm not sure how all this drama has me feeling about Physicians Formula as a brand, I always thought they valued customers since their products would always have "Try Me Free" stickers attached. I think its a big mistake on their part for not having stricter use policies on the coupon itself if they were going to be so concerned about people "misusing" it, and its quite the cop out to blame it on the customer's : /

If you guys have any thoughts on the drama, let me know below.

Physicians Formula For $3 And Under?!

I found such a good drugstore deal this week that I couldn't resist sharing it! Anyone who's ever browsed the drugstore makeup isle knows that Physicians Formula is one of the most expensive brands. I always pass it up because let's face it, who wants to pay up to $14.99 for something at the drugstore, I mean that's more than a MAC eyeshadow!

But I have the solution: get all your heart desires of Physicians Formula for $3.00 and under!

CVS is currently having an in-store sale from 5/15-5/21 that gives anyone with a CVS card $6 off of any Physicians Formula foundation, powder, bronzer, blush, or concealer.

Now that's an in-store deal, so you can combine it with this darling coupon, which gives you $5.00 off any Physicians Formula product, and the limit is one coupon per item purchased, so you can use one on every Physicians Formula item you buy!

If you've done the math, that's $11.00 off any foundation, powder, bronzer, blush, or concealer! Most of Physicians Formula's blushes and powders are only $11.99, so how much are you paying? Only $1.00! And their concealers are only up to $8.00, so you will get those for free!

Here's my Physicians Formula haul (so far, I'm going to back to get more!) from CVS and the price I paid for each item!
