Target Deal

Coupon Alert to all you coupon ladies! I was at target today and picked up a goodie. I could have gotten a better deal but sadly I forgot to print an extra coupon so I didn't get the best deal but I wanted to tell you guys about it.

Gain flings and I believe Tide pods in the 35 count are on sale for $9.99. If you buy 2 you get a $5 gift card. If you use Targets Cartwheel App there's a 5% off offer. I printed off a $2.00 off Gain flings 23 count or larger from FreeFlys. I had a $3.00 off one Gain flings or Tide pods 42 count or larger that I left in my car. I was supposed to print another $2.00 off coupon from freeflys before I went to the store but forgot. Since I live 45 minutes away from Target, I obviously was not going to be able to get another coupon. I guess I wasn't meant to get the best deal. That is why I felt I had to inform you all.

Scenario 1:
Buy two Gain flings or Tide pods 35 count. $9.99 x 2 = $19.98
Use 2 $2.00 off coupons from Freeflys. ($2.00 x 2 = $4.00)
$19.98 - $4.00 = $15.98
Get back a $5 gift card
$15.98 - $5.00 = 10.98

The scenario isn't even including the 5% off offer from the cartwheel app.

Haul: American Eagle & Forever21

I have a pretty big clothing haul for you guys today! I normally don't haul clothing but I think the deals I got are just too good to not say anything. I made three separate orders at two different online stores. The first being Forever21 and the second being American Eagle. I did use ebates.com so I received 2.0% cashback for all my purchases.

My first purchase was from Forever21 and it was a small one. I told myself this was going to be my only clothing purchase. Obviously it didn't work out but I'll start off with what I purchased at Forever21.

 CLICK ON PHOTOS TO ENLARGE!

This cardigan is actually the only reason I was placing this order. I don't remember who it was I saw wearing a cardigan like from sheinside that was $30 but honestly I was not about to buy a cardigan for $30. After some searching I found this on Forever21's website on sale for only $18.99. I ended up picking up 2 of them and I'm super excited for having them. They are super soft and snuggle-y.

These are a pair of distressed skinny jeans that were on sale from the plus size section. If you didn't know then yes, I am bottom heavy and I wear plus size jeans. They were on sale for $12.99 but I saved an extra $1.30 making them $11.69 because ebates had a code to save 10% off all plus size clothes.

 

Th last item I purchased from Forever21 are these zippered coated leggings. They are matte and I should have purchased them in a larger size. They fit but are a little snug so I hope with some wear they will stretch and fit a little better than they do now. I purchased these at full price for $13.80. To me it's kind of expensive for a pair of leggings but I was in need of a pair of matte faux leather leggings so at the same time its justifiable.

Now on to what I purchased at American Eagle. Like stated above I wasn't going to make a purchase but since American Eagle was having their friends and family sale I ended up picking up a few things. Almost everything I ordered was from their sale section except one item but I'll get into that later. So, basically if you purchased from the sale/clearance section then you were saving about 60%. No one can really pass up 60% can they?

My most boring purchase and most expensive from my first order is this metallic knit beanie. Even after my 30% off it still came out to be $13.99. I'm in need of a beanie anyways so I can some what justify this purchase since it's getting really chilly here in Arkansas.

This tank is a very basic piece but none the less a must have for every wardrobe. I paid only $5.03 for this.

This lace paneled peplum tank I got for $6.29. Very cute and I love the lace detailing on it.

This here is the happy hour t-shirt. The front of the shirt looks like a normal t-shirt but the back has this cute sheer backside. I paid $10.49 for this shirt but it was too cute to pass up.

These white pair of jeans were from my first order. After all my discounts I paid only $12.59 for them. The blue ones were also $12.59 but they were super cute. I love the embroidered design.

The white and the blue jean farthest to the right are the same jeans from the picture above. The jegging all the way to the left I paid $14.69 for. Nothing special but I need a few more pairs of jeans, jeggings, leggings, in my life so I picked that up. I picked up the second jean from the right as I was in need of a dark wash jean. I no longer have any that fit me so I picked that up for $14.69 also.

The last item I picked up were these really cute lace detailed shorts. I paid only $6.29 which in my mind is pretty good. I love how it kind of fringes at the bottoms so I'm in love.

I think I did exceptionally good. My first American Eagle purchase came up to $101.95 and after the 30% off, I only paid $53.23. My second American Eagle purchase retailed for $114.96 but I only paid $53.03.  I am pretty happy with my entire haul and I can not wait to start wearing everything. Thanks for reading I'll see you guys later!

Haul: PrettyandCute.com

I have another haul for you guys today. I know I've been hauling like crazy this month but that's only because I'm on a no buy this month. Or at least I'm trying to. I made this purchase last week some time and it came in the mail so I thought it would be something different since I don't really haul skincare items. If you didn't know prettyandcute.com was having a 25% off sale on all of their Korean skincare items so I took advantage of it. I wish I could have purchased a few more items but I forgot about them until after I made my purchase. Anyways, I am pretty satisfied with my order so lets get to hauling!

Excuse my sons curious hands. He was intrigued by the pink Styrofoam peanuts. I couldn't keep him away long enough to take a photo.

Quick overview of my purchase. Not a huge one but I got plenty of items that I've been eyeing.

These are the sample that I was sent. Not too bad if I do say so myself.

This is my most exciting purchase. I saw Janie who is the owner of PrettyandCute.com post a quick review on this so I picked it up. This is the Holika Holika Soda PoreCleansing B.B Deep Cleansing Oil. It's basically a cleansing oil.

This is the Lioele Blackhead Clear. If you've ever tried the Biore strips for your nose than this is exactly like that. Instead of it being on a little strip is in a bottle an you just squirt it on to a cotton pad and leave it on your nose.

This is the Lioele Pore Clean & Tightening Pack. Since I purchased the Blackhead Clear to clean out my pores I purchased this to close up my pores afterwards.

This was a random purchase. It is the Holika Holika Aqua Splash Toner. It was in the clearance section and I have never used a toner so I purchased it to try it out.

That is everything I purchased from prettyandcute. If you would like a review then comment and I will try to do that. Thank you all for checking my post and I will see you all later.

Haul: Tarte 30% Off Sale

I made an order off of Tartes website last week when they were having 30% off their entire website. It was an amazing deal so I ended up picking up three of their blushes. I picked up the colors in Tipsy, Flushed, and Fearless. I forgot to check but I remember adding their bronzer sample for free but for some reason it didn't go through. So today I received my package and I am just very upset and disappointed. There just aren't any words for me to express my disappointment.

When I heard the FEDEX truck I was super excited but it ended up going to my moms house and dropped it off over their. I literally ran there, picked it up and came back home. When I opened the box my heart dropped. Let down number one, apparently I didn't order a deluxe sample of the bronzer which I am pretty sure I had added to my cart. Let down number two was when I opened up the tissue one of my blushes wasn't even a box. I opened it up and obviously it was completely smashed to bits. I opened up the other two blushes to make sure they weren't cracked either. Thankfully they weren't or I would have been a very unhappy camper.

Like I said it's completely broken and theirs possibly no chance of me even saving this blush. I did swatch whatever was left of it. This blush has huge glitter chunks but after swatching it the bigger chucks seemed to fall off and all that was left was the color of the blush and little, itty bitty specks of sparkle that's barely even noticeable with just the slightest sheen. It's actually really pretty but sadly I will probably have to wait a few more days to get it replaced. I have emailed Tartes customer service and hopefully it will all get straightened out soon. Hopefully sooner than later though.

 

LEFT: Tipsy

RIGHT: Flushed

Tipsy is a gorgeous matte coral shade. I didn't swatch as I was just too upset to do anymore swatches. Flushed is a berry shade great for fall and winter so I picked that up.

I will have swatches and a full review up after I test out these colors. Thanks for reading and I will see you guys soon.

Urban Decay Haul Feb. 2013

I finally got my Urban Decay order in today! I've been waiting for this all week so I was super happy it came in and I can finally start dipping into my new items. Quick Note: I will be posting my plndr haul as soon as I receive my last order so stay tuned for that. NOW...ON TO THE HAUL!!!!

Obviously you always get a sample of the Urban Decay Primer Potion. Which I'm not exactly a big fan of but it does the job. Under the sample is just my invoice/return label.

As you can see straight of the bat that the packaging is super duper cute with the purple tissue and in silver letters it says "beauty with an edge" all over. I will probably be keeping the tissue to use for something else though because I like to reuse packaging.

AND THE REVEAL

I just purchased a few of the ON SALE items from the Urban Decay website minus the super saturated high gloss lip color. I WILL NOT HAVE SWATCHES UP AS THIS IS JUST A HAUL. 

The super saturated high gloss lip color in LOVECHILD is a nice barbie pink color. I don't know how I feel about this because I did try it and it seems kind of sheer. I don't know but I'm pretty sure it's just because my lips are really pigmented so the color seems sheer. The good thing is that it is buildable and doesn't look caked on after building it up. It doesn't settle into the wrinkles of your lips either so I think this item is actually really nice.

I picked up the Ammo palette by Urban Decay too. I originally wanted to pick up just the eyeshadow color in mildew and since mildew was already in this palette I picked up the palette and left the single eyeshadow color. The Ammo palette includes the eyeshadows in smog, mildew, oil slick, last call, chopper, maui wowie, shattered, polyester bride, grifter, and sin. This palette is very nice in my mind that it has neutral colors and a few pops of color.

 I also picked up the Mariposa palette just so I could have it. I've been eyeing this palette ever since I originally saw it a few months back so I finally purchased it. Like the Ammo palette it has a nice array of colors. After receiving the palettes I actually like the Mariposa palette a little bit more just because it has eyeshadow for both a neutral eye look and dramatic smokey eye with a few pops of color. The eyeshadows included in this palette are rockstar, gunmetal, skimp, infamous, wreckage, haight, money, mushroom, spotlight, and limelight.

That is all I purchased from Urban Decay! I hope you guys enjoyed this post and I'll blog you guys later!
