Sunday Sale Alert - 5/30/10 - 6/5/10

Hey everyone! Again, sorry for the lack of updates! I know I keep saying that life is incredibly crazy, but it is! Only a few more weeks and things will slow down! Getting ready to move has been keeping me incredibly busy, from looking for an apartment, to buying things I need, to trying to organize and pack! On top of everything, I am going away in 3 weeks for an amazing event! I can't tell you guys what it is right now (no, it's not IMATS) but I will tell you all about it when I get back! But, that being said, I have so much to prepare for that, that I have had hardly any time for videos lately. I have all these ideas for videos that I want to film, but no time! But, like I said, once I move, my work hours will be much less than they are now, and I'll have a lot more time to make videos!

Getting back to makeup related business, did you know that Rite Aid is now requiring a bonus/rewards card, just like CVS? I tried to buy something on sale at Rite Aid the other day and it rang up as the normal price. The salesperson told me that I needed to sign up for the rewards card to receive the item at the discounted price. Hmm. I signed up, because I figure it is worth it to save the money, but still, it's just another club card to add to my key ring. Just thought I'd let you all know for the next time you go shopping at Rite Aid.

I'm sure the reason you are really here is to read the Sunday Sale Alert, so I better get on to that! ;-)

Come Shopping With Me! - CVS/Pharmacy

Hey guys! Want to go shopping with me? Check out my latest video, below, where I take you shopping at CVS/Pharmacy!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JB9fJnVrZlk

Here are my top tips on how to get a great deal when you are shopping at CVS!

1. Visit the ExtraCare Coupon Center! These coupon centers are relatively new to CVS, but they are a great way to save a little extra money during each shopping trip! All you have to do is scan your CVS card, and you will automatically receive free coupons that you can use when you make a purchase. If you're like me, you probably misplace all those coupons you clipped before leaving home, so I love the fact that I can get great coupons right when I walk in the door! Also, CVS has told me that the coupons you receive will likely be based off previous purchases. This means if you frequently buy cosmetics at CVS, you are likely to get more cosmetic coupons. Awesome!

2. Choose Generic Products Wherever Possible - CVS offers many generic/CVS brand products for a much cheaper price. These products have the same ingredients as the brand names you usually purchase, but for a lower price. If you are looking to save a few dollars, definitely opt for the CVS brand, instead!

3. Buy Products That Are On Sale When Possible - If you follow my YouTube channel, you know that I update you all every Sunday on the weekly drugstore sales. If you can wait until a product you need goes on sale, you will be able to save some extra money. Drugstores like CVS frequently have buy one, get one free sales, or buy one, get one 50% off sales. It's not always practical or possible to wait for sales, but if you can, you will be able to get a great deal. Also, stock up on your favorite cosmetics when they are buy one, get one free, or on sale!

4. Keep Your Eyes Open for Clearance Products - Drugstores, especially CVS, it seems, frequently have clearance items for up to 75% off the original price. Their biggest clearance sales seem to happen once or twice a year, but occasionally you can find products that are being phased out on great clearance sales. This is a great time to try a new product or new color/shade!

Hopefully these tips will help you all to save a little bit of money. Cosmetics are expensive so it's great to save some pennies wherever possible! Hope you all are having a great day. Make sure to follow my YouTube channel because I am going to be holding a contest soon where one or two of you will be able to win some great (in my opinion, anyway, hehe) prizes!! xoxo

What a week!

Hi everyone! Sorry this update is getting to you late, but as some of you know, I was sooo sick yesterday! I had one commitment I had to fulfill and luckily I felt well enough to go at the time! The rest of the day, I was just in bed feeling horrible! It was not a fun experience, needless to say! I don't even know what I was sick with...maybe a stomach bug? A 24 hour virus? I'm not sure but I am SO glad to be feeling back to normal! Thank you to everyone who left me get well wishes on Twitter! That was so nice of you all and they most definitely helped!

Anyway, getting down to business, there are some great sales this week! Once I finally got out of bed and checked out the ads, I was excited to see how many there were! I'm especially excited because tomorrow I'm going to be uploading a video where you get to go shopping with me! On this shopping trip, I picked up some more prizes to add to my ever-growing collection of contest prizes which one or two of you will win in an upcoming contest (to be announced very soon)! Also, I used my shopping trip as a means to give some shopping tips for those of you on a makeup budget like myself! I will hopefully be posting this tomorrow night so make sure to check it out! Thanks so much for watching and reading...you guys are the absolute best! Have a wonderful week!!! xoxo

Life is busier than ever, but better than ever!

Hello everyone!! My goodness, life has been nothing short of a whirlwind lately. I've been traveling the past three weekends so I haven't been able to make many new videos. I am SO sorry because I know a lot of you are waiting for requested vids! This week, I WILL upload: Top 10 Elf Favorites, MAC Haul, NYX Haul (possibly a collective haul), and a Project 10 Pan Update! That's a lot but I owe it to you guys! Thanks so much for being patient with my busy schedule!

The good news is that I finally got my schedule sorted out for the summer. I will be working much better hours and I won't be traveling as much! I am going to be moving in about a month (crazy!) and then everything should settle into a more calm routine (I hope!) I should have time to relax and time to spend with my friends and family. I will also have a ton of time to make videos, so you'll be seeing me a lot more this summer! :-)

Alrighty, well here's what you've been waiting for....the Sunday Sale Alert! :-)
