Black Friday Shopping Score

 I received the $15 gift card in the mail from Ulta for their horrible customer service and website issues with my account. Thanks again to Michelle for her ultra quick and friendly help in fixing the situation. A couple days later I received an email notifying me that I had a little over $9 in rewards from prior purchases, and I had a $3.50 coupon. So armed with my almost $30 I thought let's go shopping! Then it dawned on me. Black Friday/Cyber Monday is right around the corner. Lets wait and see what sales we  can take advantage of.

                                   
First off Organix Hair Care. I know that it's a drugstore product. I know that there is supposed to be some huge taboo against a professional stylist recommending, let alone using something outside of the salon. Well boo f'n hoo cosmetology police. I love it. My hair has never ever looked nor felt better. I've tried just about every single one of them now ( Coconut Oil is great, as is the Biotin & Collagen ) . They retail for about $6.99 each, but you can always find them on sale, usually buy one get one free like Ulta had on Black Friday and if you can find them in the 50% more free bonus sizes even better.

Secondly I bought the NYX Stick Blush in Tea Rose & Mineral Setting Powder in Light/Medium Matte for bogo. I have yet to use either because they just arrived today. They came highly recommended from another fellow beauty product lover. They retail for $9.99 each normally. I'm a huge fan of cream/gel blushes so I can't wait to apply this and see it's results. Plus in purchasing the hair care and face make up I got this lovely Ulta gift  called Here Comes The Sun. It contains an Ulta Collection foaming face wash, eye shadow in Flushing, lip color in Perfectly Nude, Amped Lashes mascara, Super Shiny lip gloss in Flirtini, nail polish in OH!, and some cheap pos brushes ( but hey they were free and now my kid can play make up with them )  packed into a cute lil bag. Estimated value is $40. I've tried their mascara before and it's okay. Not my favorite, but still leaps and bounds better than it's drug store counterparts ( see sometimes I am a product snob ). I LOVE LOVE LOVE their lip glosses though. I would say out of all the lip glosses I own, probably 80% of them are from this line.  You really couldn't ask for more from a lip gloss. True to color glossy finish. Super moisturizing. Pleasant scent & taste. They have so many colors to choose from. They are only $8 a tube, but they are ALWAYS on sale for far less. It's slightly sticky ( incase you don't like that ), but I prefer it because I think it makes it adhere better. I use it alone, or layered on top of my lip sticks.
So thank Ulta again for all the great deals! You're A-Okay in my book... for now.
