Zoya's Earth Day Nail Polish Exchange Is Back! But Hurry!

Just a quick post to spread the word that Zoya's annual Earth Day polish exchange is back. Basically you purchase Zoya polishes for $4 plus shipping (half price!) and then mail back the equivalent number of old polishes you no longer want. It isn't required to even send them old polishes, although they would really like you to as the point of the exchange is to properly dispose of nail polish in the spirit of Earth Day. Hurry as this promotion is only for this weekend.

Details for Zoya's polish exchange are here.

Cult Nails Labor Day Sale

So, I'm still sick. Yay. I barely have the energy to sit at the computer, so I just have something quick for you.

I got an email from Cult Nails announcing their Labor Day sale and I thought I would pass it on to you guys. In case you haven't noticed, I love Cult Nails. I love that Maria, the owner, had this dream to start her own company and actually followed through on it. How rare is that? And you can tell she puts everything she can into making it a success, in addition to having a family AND a "regular" job. I'm not affiliated with Cult Nails at all, just a huge fan and extol their virtues every chance I get. I own every polish they have released so far!  Check here to see my previous Cult Nails posts and swatches.

Let me know if you guys buy anything. I love being an enabler! And yes, they do ship internationally and the free shipping (on orders over $60) applies to both domestic and international orders!


Thank you for reading and have a great day/night/whatever!

Zoya Polish Exchange Time!

It's that time of year again!  I know a lot of polish-philes look forward to the time when Zoya has their exchange.  Just wanted to let you guys know if you didn't already see that the promotion started today.  It only lasts a week so order your polishes while you can!!  Have any idea what you're going to get?  I don't- need to make a list!  Here are a few swatches.

Drugstore Deal of the Century- Physician's Formula at CVS

Okay, I know I said no more hauls.  Well, that lasted about... 2 hours.  But wait, before you judge me, let me explain!  So I knew that Physician's Formula was 40% off this week at CVS.  Physician's Formula is pretty pricey for a drugstore brand so even at 40% off I wasn't going to buy anything.  But then someone left a comment on Nouveau Cheap's post about the weekly drugstore sales that there was a coupon floating around on the internet for $5 off any Physician's Formula.  40% off plus $5 off means you will pay anywhere from nothing to a few bucks per item.  So of course I printed out 50 million coupons (okay, it was 9) and headed over to CVS.  And they took ALL the coupons.  I paid about $15 for $100 worth of makeup.

Oh, before I forget, here is the link to the coupon.

Here is a picture of my receipt (with credit card details blanked out with a noob photoshopper's best friend- clone stamp!)

So these are the 9 items I bought.  4 of the items (the 3 on the right and the eyeshadow) are gifts. I was really hoping to find my favorite drugstore concealer there- Circle Rx Circle Control Concealer, but it was sold out.  Oh well, that just means I get to go buy more stuff at a different CVS!  Oh, and I don't think the concealer makes my dark circles fade at all.  I just love the coverage and the color matches my skin.

So what are you waiting for?  Get thine bum over to CVS NOW!

Thank you for reading and have a great day/night/whatever!

Hello! And a Revlon 40% off haul

Hey everyone!  This is a first post on a new blog so I know that no one will read this (except maybe in the future when my blog is super successful and we all go back to the begining to look at my crappy pictures and see how far i have come, haha!).

I originally meant for this to be a nail polish blog, but I've grown and widened my horizons and am now equally obsessed with makeup.  I do not discriminate between drugstore and higher end brands and just use what works for him.  However, I am pretty cheap and love getting the most for my money so most of my big "hauls" are drugstore makeup.

This week at Walgreens Revlon cosmetics are 40% off (excluding Colorburst).  Oh, I just thought of something!

*PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT*

ALWAYS ask the Beauty Advisor if they have any coupons.  A lot of the time they have them behind the counter.  I asked mine and she happened to have Revlon coupons for $1 off! 

/END ANNOUNCEMENT

So, in addition to the 40% off, each item was also $1 off.  But since you get $3 dollars off your next purchase when you spend $10 on Revlon, I was able to split my purchase into two and got $3 MORE dollars off the second half.  I got all the following for about $25 including tax when it retails for over $60 with tax.  Yay saving money!

Revlon haul with flash

Revlon haul under regular light bulb (no flash)

I bought the following items:

• Revlon Cream Blush in 09 Rosy Glow
• Revlon Cream Blush in 18 Berry Flirtatious
• Revlon Age Defying Spa Face Illuminator in 020 Pink Light
• Revlon Nail Polish (scented) in 370 Not So Blueberry
• Revlon top Speed Nail polish in 650 Sugar Plum 
• Revlon Nail Polish (scented) in 330 Grape Icy
• Revlon Colorburst Lipgloss in Crystal Lilac (this was not eligible for the 40%, but it was on special for $4.99 plus I was able to use the coupon for an additional $1.00 off)

Putting all the swatches in this post would make it ridiculously long, so I'll add them later.

Thank you to anyone who decides to read this!  Wow, I'm only 1 post into my blogging adventure and I'm already exhausted!  This is a lot of work!

Have a great day/night/whatever!
