Black Friday/Cyber Monday Deals and Sales!

Hello beauties and happy Thanksgiving!! I hope you all have a good holiday and spend some time with family and friends. I unfortunately have to work this Black Friday(3 am is when my shift starts!) so I'll be going to bed halfway through my holiday. But I want to pass along some great deals and steals for the big shopping day.

Beauty Deals:

Ulta- Ulta's deal's list can be found here. I feel like they're offerings are a bit better than Sephora's, offering a better range of products and deals. The bargain I really like and would likely buy if I weren't already stocked up is the Big Sexy Hair products for only $6.99, that's a whole $10 off!!! Other noteable deals are the Clarasonic Mia being only $99(Sephora jumped the gun on that one and offered it earlier in the week) and the $16 Urban Decay Palette. Also, Chi flat irons are super discounted.

Sephora- Sephora's "Dealtopia" can be found on the company's pinterest page. Lots of full sized or deluxe sample sets for only $10! I perused the list but nothing jumped out at me that I really wanted. Though I will say the Stila palettes are amazing deal!

Sigma Beauty- As a Sigma Affiliate, I'm privy to the deals they will be offering and it's my job to let you guys in the loop. If you live outside the States and have always wanted to order from Sigma but couldn't justify the shipping rates, now's your chance. Sigma will be offering FREE WORLD WIDE SHIPPING!! Yes, you read that right :) Doesn't matter where you live in the world, you can get Sigma brushes shipped for free!

Also, for Cyber Monday(Internet's version of Black Friday) select items on the Sigma site will be 20% off. As for what these items are, I'm not sure yet. I also have a discount code for 10% off your order which you can use on top of the free shipping or the 20% off. Use code NOV2013 at checkout!

Non-Beauty Deals:

American Eagle- If you didn't know, I work at American Eagle so I thought I'd do a little plugging :) Stores are opening at 8 pm Thanksgiving. For the first 10 hours, 8 PM to 6 AM, the whole store will be 50% off. After 6, the store goes back to 40% off. And from what my manager told me, you can also stack coupons , which isn't something we normally allow.

Bath and Body Works- BB&W is offering their usual tote full of goodies this year. All you need to do is spend $40 to get the tote for $20. It's full of a $100 worth of product. As of now, I'm not sure what the other deals are but I will edit this post when I find out.

Aeropostale- Aero is offering 60% off the whole store, which isn't much compared to the bulldog sale that happens 2-3 times a year. I'm not much of an Aero shopper anymore, but I do like them for their hoodies and sweatpants(I'm a sucker for sweatpants :) ) so now would be a good time to stock on the essentials.

If you're going to skip out on Black Friday and just shop online(which I don't blame you and I thank you for!) don't forget to use ebates so you can take advantage of more coupons and get cash back. I don't shop online without it!

What are some other Black Friday deals I missed? If you have any you'd like to contribute, please leave a comment below. Good luck and get some good deals. Till next time, stay gorgeous!

Tag: Would You Rather Makeup Edition

I saw this tag floating around on the blogsphere and thought I'd give it a go. I generally have a tough time playing would you rather because I have hard time making decisions. Let's see how this goes.

 

1. Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks, and lip glosses or lose all of your palettes and eyeshadows?

Hmm, this is a tough one. I think I would cry, literally cry if I lost my eyeshadows, especially my Urban Decay Naked Palette. So I think I'd rather lose all my mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks, and lipglosses. They're all drugstore and easily replaced.

2. Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again?

After having my hair chopped off, I can easily say never being able to cut it off. Short hair just doesn't work for me!

3. Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek?

I love my pink blushes, but judging from my blush collection I have an addiction to coral cheek colors. In fact, I just bought a new blush from Tarte that's a beautiful coral. My first high end blush, I'm very excited :)

4. If you had $1,000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or makeup?

Oh that's a toughy. I love shopping for clothes....I love shopping for makeup....Can just spend half on each????

5. Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner or eyeliner as lipstick?

I'd have to say I'd rather apply the eyeliner as a lipstick. I'd be afraid to put anything that's been near my mouth on my eyes.

6. Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?

I haven't tried enough from MAC to shop there exclusively and at Sephora, you have a variety of lots different products and skincare from lots of different brands. You'd be hardpressed to not find something that doesn't work.

7. Would you rather only use one eyeshadow color or one lip color for the rest of your life?

I like to change up my lipcolor so much but I can honestly say I usually use the same eyeshadow colors every day. I'm in a rut that I don't intend on breaking.

8. Would you rather wear winter clothes in the summer or summer clothes in the winter?

Summer clothes in winter for sure, something I already do. I get hot very easily and its often I'll be longing around the house in my running shorts in the dead of winter.

9. Would you rather have dark nails or bright nails all year round?

Bright, fun colors all year round. I have lots of dark colors but I hardly reach for them. I like my nails to match my personality and mood.

10. Would you rather give up your favorite lip product or your favorite eye product?

This should be phrased, "Do you want to give up your Urban Decay Naked Palett or your Revlon Berry Smoothie Lip Butter?" I don't want to give up either!

11. Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a ponytail or a messy bun?

A messy bun. I feel like my hair is this style most of the time, especially in the summer. I just don't want to mess with it most of the time.

12. Would you rather never be able to paint your nails again or never use lip gloss?

I would gladly give up lip gloss if I could keep my nails polished.

13. Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all or Sharpie them in everyday?

Oh god...Just the thought of me without eyebrows or using a sharpie to put them on....I look hideous!!

14. Would you rather live without makeup or nail polish?

Nail polish, I need my makeup!!!

Black Friday Roundup! Sigma, Amerian Eagle, Ulta and More!!

Hi everyone and happy Thanksgiving!! Today is all about family, food and being thankful for just being alive and healthy.  My family is doing this a bit different today. We aren't having the traditional Thanksgiving meal, we're having hamburgers and chips :) What's your favorite Thanksgiving dish? Anyway, along with Thanksgiving comes Black Friday shopping, the initial kickoff to holiday shopping.  This year, Black Friday is starting tonight, on Thanksgiving at some stores such as Walmart and Target at 8pm. Others start at midnight. My personal view is that this is awful for those who have to work instead of spend time with their family. But some people want to just get their shopping done. In anticipation of the huge sales, I thought I'd do a quick roundup of the sales I think are the best before my family gets here.





Let's start with fashion, shall we?


American Eagle is offering 40% off with free shipping. This is in stores and online. I even have a code for you! 35787891. This will be good through November 25. ae.com



Forever21 is offering 40% off today for Thanksgiving as well as free shipping on orders of $50 or more forever21.com


JCPenny's is where to be if you want great deals on fashion! Juniors jeans are $15 and sweaters are $12. Plus if you order online there's free shipping. jcp.com



If you live in the midwest like I do and have a Younkers, Rampage boots are only $20, plus there are several coupons included in the Black Friday ad that can  be applied to sale items. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me! Younkers.com

Makeup

Ulta is offering some pretty nice door buster sets. There are a couple Bare Mineral sets for only $10 . Conair hair tools only $10 as well and Conair products are really great quality, so if you can jump on that deal do it! Also worth noting from Ulta, hairdryers and flat irons from CHI are $74.96 with a 25% off coupon that's included in the ad. ulta.com

Sephora is also offering some $10 sets. YOu can check their facebook page which will have the sets listed. The one that jumps out at me is the Too Faced set that includes the Chocolate Solei Matte Bronzer and travel kabuki brush. Don't forget all the fantastic gift sets such as the Sephora Lash Stash and Give Me Some Lip. http://www.sephora.com/

Are you ready for this one? Sigma Brushes is offering FREE WORLD WIDE SHIPPING!  International shipping is insane, so I definitely suggest taking advantage of this one. Coupon for free shipping is BF2012 which is valid until Friday, November 23 at midnight. http://www.sigmabeauty.com/?Click=224226
