The Conservatorie 25% Off

Whether you like premade mineral make up or are the adventurous type The Conservatorie could be for you. Right now through tomorrow evening December 1st they are running a special 25% off everything except brushes.

My favorite: Pure Silk Dust! I use it for finishing powder and you get a whole ounce or 30g for less than $6. It will last at least a year or more.

Keep in mind they do require a $15 order minimum before discount, but when it comes to make up it's not hard to do. ;)

I might be trying the Premium Foundation Base and the Warm Blend to mix into it. The nice thing about that is you can adjust the color as your skin changes with the seasons!


Monave “Give the Gift of Healthy Beauty”

Now I no longer order from Monave because I've found other foundations I like better, but this was my first full coverage love. I also switched because Monave is too "enviromentally conscience" for me. I did get a friend rather hooked on it and she is needing more. In case she's not up for adventure and wants to just order what she knows works I found a code for 20% savings.

It's good through January 10 2010. Code GGHB2009 You not only receive 20% off you can request a sample of anything to share with a friend or relative. These smaller companies are wonderful givers and the quality is top notch too! If you ever thought of trying Bare Minerals or another large brand mineral company give one of the smaller companies a try. Your wallet will love it as much as your face.

Specials That End Today or Very Soon!

I'm so sorry I haven't posted the great deals the last few days. I'm going to make a separate post for each and hopefully provide the link to each post below so you can go directly to the deal that interests you. If you are reading this before 1pm EST I am still working on the posts and links, but after that you should be able to click away. Until then I have linked you directly to the stores if you just can't wait. ;)

A preview of what's ahead:

Lots of Mineral Make Up Deals!
All of these have been posted and I may try to add a few more. Hope you have a great shopping day!

Sally's Beauty Supply 20% Off +Free Shipping!

Sally's is offering 20% off entire website plus free shipping. I may just take advantage of this sale since my hair needs another update. I may eventually reach blond again instead of strawberry blond that the OTC options give me since I can get a higher lift peroxide. If you're not a member you may want to sign up. It's $5, but you get that back in Sally's rewards plus you get discounts storewide too. You don't have to be a professional to order and Sally's carries so many other non coloring items and make up too. I bought a hair dryer last year or so and it's been great and I got a great deal on it too. Not free like Walgreens, but a very nice quality product for a conair price.

Southern Magnolias 30% Off!

Does the name sound familiar? I mentioned them during a giveaway. I still have not tried their products, but for some reason feel comfortable recommending them to others at least to sample. So far they seem to meet my guidelines. If you try Southern Magnolias please let me know what your experience is.

30% Off
Coupon Code Box: Cyber30


and this is only $10 while supplies last:
Cyber Monday Special at www.SMMCosmetics.com

Coastal Scents~Last Day

Coastal Scents not only creates and sells mineral make up and brushes, but they carry all the ingredients to create you own products including butters and bombs. They include some recipes on-site and have a forum of lovely ladies minus Steve, one of the owners, Kathy's the other. You will also find some traditional make up with the eye shadow palettes that others love. I have not tried any so I have no review. Again this is another Eastern Coast company so the sale ends EST Midnight Today.


25% Off the Whole Store
(no code needed)
free shipping on $75 or more


I stocked up on Citric Acid for my dishwasher.

Joppa's CyberMonday!

Straight from the mouths of Joppa!


Spend over $25 and receive 25% off your entire purchase plus free shipping. Use discount code "CyberMonday" during checkout.

Our limited edition eye shadow colors make a great gift!

Check out our 7pc. Eye Shadow gift set... only $30




Sale ends Monday at Midnight!

Buff'd 20% Off Winter Sale

Buff'd carries another one of my choices when it comes to foundation. Their blush is very nice too, but I haven't tried all their products because when I ordered from them I was on the hunt for foundation options. I like the original that gives great coverage. I chose it because I like the ingredient list. The more you sample the more you learn what is right for you. I have sensitive blemish proned skin that is no longer oily like before so you may love what I love or want something different.

This sale is 20% Off full sizes even the refill baggies which ship for free even though they are from Canada. You'll need to scroll down the "kits" page to see the refill bags; those are listed with on the regular product pages.

Lumiere 50% Off Large Sizes

Lumiere was one of my first mineral make ups. They have expanded quite a bit in the last few years. This is probably another company I could use its whole line not just one or two products. The only thing that disappoints me now is the theme which happened not too long ago. I don't particularly care that "alcohol" is glamorized, but I will recommend the make up from time to time because Kim seems so caring not only in her career but donating to causes I could get behind.

The Sale that got extended until the end of today, EST is 50% off large sizes! Prices are already reflected. This is Fabulous as her prices aren't over inflated only to offer 50% all the time. While Lumiere offers a nice amount of sales, you won't see a sale like this again for awhile. While you may not want to buy a large size when trying foundation for the first time you most likely won't go wrong when it comes to eye shadow, blush and finishing powders!

Also totally worthy of mention is the $.01 sample special 5 samples; your choice of foundation, blush,finishers and/or enhancers.

Then there is the brush pre-buy that ends December 15th.
If you have any questions about the brushes I'd be happy to share my experience and preference.

Free Sharpies Instantly/Battery Rewards

Dead Deal on the Sharpies. :(
Staples was overwhelmed with response so if you try to order now it's too late. If you tried to order online before 10:30am today try to give them a call and see if there is anything else they can do. I heard one lady got $15 coupon.

Staples is offering $25 instant credit to a $25 or more order of Sharpie markers, highlighters and metallics. There is also a set of Bic 36ct markers included. You will need to call in your order because the code is not working online. It is 96140. I spoke with Marie this morning and she was awesome even though she had not heard of this problem until I called. "How do you solve a problem like Maria?" Well she did with a wonderful personality so don't hesitate to call. This ends today at 11:59pm EST.

Onto Duracell 20ct batteries AA or AAA! This runs through 12/26 and there is a limit of 2. Here's the great extra; limit 2/week! So don't wait until the last week of the deal if you want more than 2 packs. The catch here is the your rebate is in Staples Rewards and won't be rewarded until after the end date so you won't be able to roll those rewards until later, but those are rollable in the future if you so desire. I will probably use my for ink since Canon's seems to be superb for photo printing and don't forget the cartridge credit too!

Giant Eagle Shopping 11/23 and 11/21

Well I had some snafus, but nothing that can't be fixed, I hope. lol I also have no pictures as I didn't get home until midnight. We left the house around 6:30. I'm still exhausted and can you believe my quads are killing me! I so need more exercise when a shopping trip causes muscle soreness. Maybe I need to shop more! ;-D

Just so you know I actually didn't spend all that time shopping at Giant Eagle. LOL I spent an hour plus on travel, had to drop off and pick up Jeff and kids at his mom's, a Wal-Mart stop where I had to figure out what to do since the Honeysuckle that was to be price adjusted was gone and a visit with my SIL.


Now that I bored you with the details not pertaining to GE I will give you the rundown of my GE transactions:


Quick Version:
Value $380
OOP $74 (after I subtract the $6)

Shorted Catalinas 7*$3($21) Note to self; Make sure all items are rang individually.

Typing out the list looks so small; wish I had a picture to capture the amount of groceries.
I had to leave the store and go back in since the first cart was overflowing even using the bottom rack. I don't think I've ever had to do that in the past even when I shopped once a month. (!) Never had the savings either and I thought I was a savvy shopper then. LOL

I forgot to add my husband's trip from Saturday. :)

Mineral Monday ~LaurEss ~Sale

LaurEss! This is my very favorite make up especially the foundations. Along with the foundations, I can recommend the blush and shadows too. I have not try any lip products or finishing powders because I always use pure silk or whip my own concoction for finishing powder.

Foundation First:

Minimalist ~ My favorite It provides a nice buildable coverage that hides pores better than others I've used and blemishes too, yet it doesn't feel heavy. The color selection is vast.

Elemental ~ Barely comes in second This coverage is slightly lighter and just the slightest hint of dewiness. This would be perfect for me in the Summer.

Ethereal~Favorite for Others, but surprisingly I don't like this. (?) This is the heaviest coverage.

Blush:
Many beautiful shades to choose! Make sure to click on each category to see all the colors.


Eye Shadow: This eyeshadow just glides across my lids. Gem Lights is my favorite because those are pearlized, but not sparkly or glitterly.

Lauren is a fabulous owner that works beside her husband Chris. Lauren is meticulous when it comes to creating her line and it shows. There is also a group link where you can ask her and others questions or if you'd like personal recommendation you can email them. I don't know when the sale ends because this sale has been extended from the original ending date. You will save 10%-20%, this includes samples and the great thing about LaurEss is the prices are already adjusted so there's no figuring or guesswork for you.

Ritzbag ~Louis Vuitton Replica Contest

A Contest I found on Dealseeking Mom's Forum. It's so easy to enter and you will know if you won by December 1st. Here are the prizes as listed from Ritzbags website:

  • Monogram Speedy 30
  • Monogram Insolite Wallet
  • Monogram Keepall 55

After visiting the site some more since I've never been on it, I want to point out that Ritzbags are replicas of designer bags. It explains more on the site about the materials and workmanship of these bags.

Great New Coupons

Thanks goes once again to the blogger community and HCW.

$1.50/1 Wet Ones coupon(can backspace to get two)

Free Organic Steaz Ice Tea (Target)

$3/3 Hains Pure Foods (backspace for two) I will be using mine for sea salt

$.75/1 Nature's Pride (zip 92111) Doubles for you? Free Bread at GE!

Catalinas at Giant Eagle

There is always talk about catalinas vs transactions on HCW so I thought I'd post a guideline from past experience. Some company promotions will produce multiple cats in one transaction and other companies you must do multiple transactions if you want the right amount back. I am also providing links to the company so you know what brands they carry.


Multiple Deals in One Transaction Companies
*Update P&G has been producing Multiples instead of Singles since about April 2010. I would still recommend doing only a couple on your first transaction to make sure.

It also seems that Unilever (Ragu,Wishbone, Hellmann's...) decided to produce only one cat per transaction in the month of June so again use caution until you or someone confirms or denies during a new sale.
 

Single Deals in Multiple Transactions Companies


One major company that I'm uncertain about since I don't normally purchase during the catalina promotions is Kimberly Clark. So if you know of that one or others I've forgotten please let me know and I'll update.



*Update 6/23 I believe Kimberly Clark also produced multiples.

I don't know if any local family view my blog or not, but I thought I'd share my plans and coupon purchases for this week's ad. I'm quite excited about the Good Deals and Frees. The last month has been fabulous for free vegetables, but since I don't have a freezer I can't take advantage of those deals as far as stockpiling goes. I am going to buy a few boxes this week because I really enjoy those and they are just the right size for a meal.

Mineral Monday~Joppa Minerals

Why Joppa is first on the list: SALE!

Save 25% on a purchase of $10 or more. Use code "shopearly"
Their regular prices are a great value so this sale is a bonus.

They also have wonderfully priced samplers:

3 Piece Mini
6 Piece This is my favorite and sometimes it goes on sale for $.01 +s&h


I encourage you to really take the time and browse all the products and options. Also don't hesitate to email questions to these wonderful Christian ladies.

My favorite foundation from Joppa is Simple Radiance. I like fuller coverage without it being flat like some mattes are. This foundation also works great with the wet application method.


If you like a lighter coverage check out the Soft Coverage ,if you like Matte Full Coverage, if you love glow and shimmer, Morning Dew is right for you.

Mineral Monday

Since Giveawayaday sponsored Southern Magnolia Minerals, I thought I would do Mineral Mondays. I love mineral makeup and have tried over 20 companies and at least twice as many foundation formulas so I thought I would share some of my favorite companies.

What is my criteria?

Classy! The company has to promote a classy website.

Value! Like anything a combination of price, amount needed, finished look and staying power.

Customer Service! Most smaller companies have a plethora of this.

No Donations to causes I don't support: Environmentalism (Carbon Credits), PETA, Amnesty or organizations I feel hurt Our Sovereignty or relationship with God.

I'm going to form a new post for today's, albeit late today, first Mineral Company.
