CVS haul

I went to CVS today because I had a $10 ECB that I had to use before it expired.  I went with one coupon and no plan, but I think I did pretty well.

The first deal I found was wrongly priced CG lashblastlength mascara. It was normally 8.99, but they had a 50% off sticker on the price tag. It was the wrong item, but they gave me half off. I asked the store manager about it and was not going to get it because I felt bad, but he encouraged me to get it. So that put it to $4.50 and I had a $2 off coupon I could use on it.

 Nyx was 40% off this week, so I checked out what they had. I got two items from them. First a limited edition Individual eyes in 001 Super Vixen. This will be my first time using an NYX eye shadow. I love their lip sticks, but hate their pencil eye liners, so we will see about this. I also got their new Plumping Big Bold lip gloss in 473 Full on Fuchsia. The shadow pallet was $4.99 but I got $2 of because of the sale and the lip gloss was $3.99 but I got $1.60 off. The magic red box gave me a dollar off coupon I also used on these products.

                                                        

  I tossed in a drink, .99$, and mints, $2.27, to fill up the $10  ECB. After my three coupons and the sales my total was .15$ for everything. I did not get any ECB back, but this will trigger my $5 ECB from the Beauty Club which I can use next week for my deals. I missed posting about two other hauls because I have been sick, and work has me working like a dog and I have just never found time. I also have three weeks of mail freebies coming up.

Cover Girl Outlast Lipstain

I gave the Cover girl Outlast lip stain a try, so I thought I would share with you. The one I used was number 400, unfortunately since I took the package off I could not find the color name. It is a magic marker form with the felt tip. This type of lip product is one of my favorite because I think it goes on with so much control. It goes on nice and smooth with lots of color. It is very wet when first applied and dries in seconds. The only time I smelled anything is if I smelled the marker its self.  Once it dries it is not to drying on the lips or sticky at all. I personally like my lips very moisturized so I did swipe on a little bit of baby lips before I walked out of the house, if I did not have that I would have been ok with just the lip stain.

  I put it on around 1:30 before work and went about my day. I had it on until I got home at 10:30 without touch up. I saw around 6:30 that I still had color. It was not as dark, but there. I also did not have to put on any more lip gloss. It was not over drying the rest of the day. When I got home at 10:30 there was a tiny bit of color left. Overall I really love this stuff. I will be going out to get more colors. They are not over drying and lasted for hours through eating, drinking, smoking, and lip licking. I really have no cons for this product. If I find some I will update on them.

I am back with a little coupon haul :D

I have been gone for a long time; I had a lot to do with school and some personal things I had to deal with. I have time now and it is time to start writing. Today is just a two quick shopping trips that I had. One of them from Wal-Mart, I do not have the receipt anymore because I did it last week, the CVS one I did just today.

 From Wal-Mart, I got six travel size Gillette shaving cream for free plus was paid to take them outside of the store. They were $1.27 a piece and I had two coupons that let you get $6.00 off three products with no size restriction. So for three of them it was $3.81. At Wal-Mart they take the full $6.00 and give you the overage in cash. So I did the deal twice and got $2.19 in cash for each coupon.

 

   Now for today’s CVS trip. I got four of the Dawn Hand renewal dish soap that are on sale for .99 cents each. I had two, $1.00 off two product coupons for those. I got two regular Dawn dish soap that are also on sale for .99$. I used two .20 cents off coupons on those. I got two Cover girl Outlast Lipstains. They are on sale buy one get one half off, so one was $9.49 and the other one was $4.64. I had one $ 4.00 off two coupons for those. I got two of the Cover girl glosstinis. One of those was $3. 79 and the other one was $1. 89. I had a $1.50 off coupon off one item, so I could use one on both of them. I also had a magic red box coupon for $5.00 off $15.00 worth of cosmetics I used. Then I used $5.50 in EBC (Extra Care Bucks). All of that brought my total down to $6.01 out of pocket and after I got my receipt I got $5.00 back in ECB to use next time I go in. So Basically I paid $1.01 for all of these items.

  I am not the best with coupons and still slowly learning but these are my latest trips and I did very well on both of them. As I learn more I hope I will get better, however I do not want to build a huge stock pile of items that I will never use. I only look for deals on things that my house hold needs and will use.
