Big Beauty Deals

As I have stated several times, I am a product junkie. This can be a very expensive little habit to maintain, especially for a freelance makeup artist/graduate student. So I like to take advantage of ways to save money so that I can indulge in my addiction and still afford to eat... FYI: I like food about as much as I like makeup, so I'm not really willing to starve for a perfect smokey eye.

There are a few great deals going on at the moment, so I'm going to give you my cheat sheet for some fabulous beauty steals!



Rite Aid

I go through lashes like crazy! They are one of the easiest ways to create major impact for event makeup, photo shoots, or anytime you want to look/feel extra glam. This week, if you buy any one set of false lashes, you get a second set for 50% off AND you earn $4 toward your next purchase when you spend $10. Ardell Lashes usually run around $4, so if you purchase 4 pairs of lashes for $12 (after BOGO) you will then have a credit of $4 (they call it UP Rewards) sent to your card. They also have a printable coupon for $1 off false lashes on their site, bringing your actual cost down to $7 for 4 pairs of lashes!

Ulta

Ulta has several awesome deals to take advantage of this week. Revlon, NYX, Almay, and Neutrogena cosmetics are all 40% off! I recommend picking up the Revlon Just Bitten Balm Stain  (a fave that I mentioned in my September Drugstore Faves) for $5.9 and NYX Eye Brow Push Up Brow (I mentioned this great brow pencil/highlighter combo in my Bold Brows post) for $5.99. If you receive Ulta emails, they have also sent a personalized coupon code to receive 25% off of Red Carpet Manicure products... if you haven't tried Red Carpet Manicure, this is a great opportunity! I love this product line. The starter set is a bit pricey but if you get gel manicures you'll be saving so much! For the price of three salon gel manicures, you'll get the starter kit with everything you need to do them yourself. I'll be posting more info on RCM later this month. Ulta is also doing free shipping on orders over $25 without a coupon code, so you can also use their $3.50 off $10 coupon to save even more!
