Deals of the Day! :)

Hello fellow savers!!! :)

So, once again I had a little shopping binge and went to a few of my fav stores after work. Probably not the best of ideas but I am glad I did go because I found some fantastic deals! Yayyyyyy me!!!! I stopped at Ross and then to my fav store of all time, can you guess it?!?!?? 

TARGET of course!!!! Give yourself a pat on the back if you got that right!

My first stop was Ross, I love shopping at this store because they have some really great deals on name brand items. I love about 90% of the purses in that store in general :)

Well, if you took a look at my previous deal of the day I mentioned a dress that I found at Target. I also mentioned how I wanted to make into an outfit you can rock in the fall. So I put myself on a mission to find a few things to make this outfit happen.

The things that I would need or would like to find are:

1. Jean Jacket

2. Reddish Brown Scarf (same color as the belt on the dress)

3. Cute boots or flats (same color as belt on dress)

As you can see, I got super lucky at my stop at Ross :)

I found the cutest jean jacket, and even better it was on clearance or as they say reduced! Either way it was cheap! I love the word <3

So the originally cost of the jacket was $14.99 and I got it for $7.49, yeaher!!!! 

That's what's up!!!! 

One item down, two more to go!!!!

Of course, my next stop was Target :)

I was unsuccessful in finding the scarf that I wanted in Ross as well as the shoes. I did find some cute options but they weren't worth what they cost to me.

I was hoping and praying that I would find the scarf and shoes that I wanted at my #1 store of all time....FAIL!!!!! Sucked that I didn't but I am came across some other great stuff.

Didn't find the color I needed but found this cute polka-dotted scarf that is easy to add to any outfit that I have in my closet. Believe me I have a lot of black, lol!!!

Original cost $14.99, and I purchased it for $4.48.

I proceeded to look for shoes but once again the cute options they had were still a little much for my taste. I am also sure that they will be reduced more because that is what always happens when I shop there.

Me being the shopaholic that I am, I didn't stop there. I continued checking out my clearance racks and found this shirt. I know it is plain but its nice and flowy, which those are the shirts I love to wear <3 Even though it is very simple it is very easy to dress it up with accessories.

Original cost $9.99, purchased for $2.98 :) I am awesome!!!!!

The final deal of the day is once again some Yes To products. I'm officially obsessed with this brand! Thanks Kristin. I found the Yes To Cucumber shampoo and conditioner for $2.68/each and their original cost is $8.99/each. I also found another one of their lip glosses that I didn't have for $1.94 :) The original cost is $6.49.

So I had a very successful semi shopping day, and it shouldn't have had even happened, LOL!!!!!

But I am glad I went out and found these amazing deals! Still on the lookout for the scarf and shoes for the outfit I am trying to put together. Hopefully I am lucky enough to get them at amazing deals as with what I found today.

Until then....sweet shopping ya'll <3

Beauty Sampling <3

So about a month or so ago I have started receiving Birchbox, which is a $10/monthly subscription to receive beauty samples based on your profile. I got inspired by one of my friends, Kristin :) because she was posting pics of what she was receiving in hers, that I had to try it! They send 4-5 different products in your box. I have received 2 months so far and I'm still on the fence with Birchbox. For the past 2 months I have received either 1-2 items that I love but still don't find it worth the $10 a month for it.

Starting next month I will be receiving not only Birchbox but also Ipsy aka Glambag. I want to start writing a blog and comparing both of these beauty sampling subscriptions. Ipsy also is a $10/monthly subscription where you receive 4-5 beauty products in a cute makeup bag. I have looked on YouTube and also other social networks to see how people rated Ipsy. There is a mixed audience so I'm excited to see how I feel about it when I receive it. What I liked about Ipsy that got me so interested, is some of their beauty samples are full size samples. I think that's what sold me! Lol!! But I also liked that I didn't have to wait for an invite to join like I had to with Birchbox, guess I got lucky and Ipsy had open invitation right now :)

The only full sized items that I got from Birchbox was a decorated zip lock bag and a hair tie that I can't even use.

So I am excited to show you guys what I receive next month from these subscriptions and lets see who wins the beauty sampling battle! Birchbox is reaching their end and I'm still debating if I should cancel or not. As they say in The Hunger Games, "May the odds be ever in your favor". Lol!!!!

Deals of the Day!

Happy Sunday Funday Folks!!!!! Hope everyone is enjoying the last day of the weekend before returning to work tomorrow, I know I am trying to. Of course, I did my favorite thing today....browsing at my fav store, Target :) LOL! It wouldn't be me if I didn't. So I decided I would start a deal of the day blog so I can excite you with what kind of deals I have found for the day or even for the week (guess that would be called, deals of the week, then...ha!). 

While at Target today of course I made sure to hit all my clearance spots as usual. Usually, I begin with the clothes but lately I haven't found great enough deals to want to stop directly there. I was actually contemplating if I was going to even bother wasting my time and going there, but I am glad that I did. I have been seeing this dress in their clearance racks a few times that I had visited but the price was still a little high for me to persuade myself to get it. But today I guess was just my day, because not only was it one of the only two left, it was in my size! Yaaaaay for me!!! :) Not only do I love the dress, I love the color and the belt that it comes with. Some might find it summery but if you find a cute jacket or top to cover it with and some cute boots or closed toe shoes, it becomes perfect for fall easily.

As the above picture states, the original price of this dress was $24.99 and I got it for $7.48, I know what a great deal!!!!! I can't wait to wear it out that's how cute it looks on me...LOL!!!! And I am very picky when it comes to clothing especially dresses, but for the size that I am it fits me beautifully. As I said before, it is on clearance since fall is among us, but it is so easy and simple into making this into an outfit for fall, especially with these colors.

Hope you enjoyed my deal of the day and I am hoping that I will be able to bring you more amazing items at amazing prices, because you too can shop savvy! Xoxo <3

New Blog, New Topic! :)

Well hello there! I decided to create a new blog about the good deals that I find while out on my many shopping adventures :) I try to stay up to date and with the current trends and also with whats in with makeup, hair, or face products. I am one of those people that needs to shop on a budget and not able to purchase high end or even full price items at times. So where do you find me 90% of the time when I am shopping.......in the clearance areas. Yes! I am the biggest clearance queen you can meet, and I am proud of that!!!! When I go out shopping I love to take my time and browse at everything. How do you think that you will find awesome deals if you don't take your time and look at EVERYTHING! That's why I am big on shopping alone most of the time (well, with my munchkin of course!) With much patience comes reward :) well at least I think so. I have been very lucky to come across some amazing deals that I can never pass up. I get extremely excited when it is something I am looking for, can use eventually, or I hear is the latest items.

The two tops stores that I have found some amazing clearance/deals at would be, Target and Walmart. With my budget, you shouldn't be so surprised, LOL!!! Target would be my #1 go to store, I love them and seriously am OBSESSED!!!! I always attempt to stay away but something always brings me there. I am the type of person that will enter to get one item and leave with a whole cart full of stuff, it never fails. In the long run, I see it as a good thing because 95% of my cart will have items that are on clearance. That always makes my bank account very happy.

I am the biggest e.l.f. (eyes lips face) fan! This is one item that doesn't need to be on clearance for me to buy it. Its already affordable as it is. Sometimes I do find sets that are clearance but that is on a rare occasion. Lately, e.l.f. has been releasing new products and expanding their line, which I love to hear! Their items range in pricing but what I love the most about them is that their items begin at $1, yes you read correctly, $1!!!!! I have many of their items in my makeup bag as we speak, and their products are not cheap quality, which makes me even more in love with them. Affordable and amazing products make me very happy :)))))) 

I took a trip to Target to look at some moisturizer options, I did specifically want to check out the new Tinted Moisturizer by e.l.f. just to try it out and see if it is any good. Yes the price that you see in the pic is how much it cost, $3. After debating what I should do and if I should give it a try I did ending up getting it. I am a big fan of e.l.f. and I have faith that it will be amazing :) once I try it for the first time, I will definitely let you guys know what I think about it. 

Well, as I said before, I went into Target for one item and ended up leaving with 5 other things as well. This is without browsing the entire store, so imagine if I stayed longer.....yea it wouldn't have been pretty!

 

Another product that has been introduced to me recently is Yes To! Yes To is a line of natural skin and hair care that actually works, is guilt-free, and is all about positivity! Their products are made with organic fruits and veggies and free of parabens, petroleum, SLS, and phthalates. Yes To is a global leader in natural beauty. The first time I have heard of Yes To was from my boyfriend, he loves their skin care products but has told me that they were a bit pricey, oh that word! The word PRICEY, keeps me far away from items, LOL!!!! So I never looked into it. But then one of my coworkers posted about the shampoo and conditioner that she purchased on clearance at target. Of course, she raved about how great this product was, so once again I became interested in learning more about it. Learning that it was organic made me interested in seeing what it was all about :) So as I was shopping at Target I walked down the aisle that the Yes To products are located, and what do I see.......my fav sticker EVER on their items, their orangy red clearance sticker....YAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!! I was specifically interested in their lip items and it so happened that their lip glosses were on clearance.

Yep! You see it right! These lip glosses retail at $6.49 and I got them for $1.94 :) Yeaher!!!!! This made me super happy. Me being the compulsive shopper that I am, I bought all 4 lip glosses. Cocoa Loco, Playful Nude, Rose Bliss, and Carrot Kiss. I have been able to try one of these today (Playful Nude) and I am in love!!!!!! Not only was the color perfect but the feel of it was amazing too! I have the worst dry lips EVER!!!! It is very hard for me to find glosses and balms to help moisturize my lips and this one is one of the few. I would highly recommend this item to many! I was lucky enough to find them at such a great steal right when Yes To was brought back to my attention (thanks Kristin!). So check Yes To out! http://www.yestocarrots.com/index.html

These are the few products that I have found recently at such amazing prices and just had to try them out! I hope to have pushed you guys in the direction to not only search for amazing deals but to be brave enough to give them a try and be spontaneous. Take the time and be patient you never know what you can find when you take the time to look at everything. You will be amazed and also feel better knowing that you saved so much and got good quality products/items. Until next time, keep your eyes open and check out those clearance areas!!!! I swear you won't regret it!

XOXO <3
