Weekly Roundup: 5/22-5/28

1. Got the white purse I ordered from nomorerack in the mail
2. Received a bottle of Proactiv Oil Free Moisturizer SPF 15 in the mail.  I have no freaking idea where it came from.  I tried to google and find whatever sweepstakes that might have been giving this out, but there was none....
3. I bought 6 Revlon nail polishes for $4.99 each at CVS and got $4 back in Extra Bucks for each polish.
4. Jergen's Self Tanners are BOGO Free select items at CVS so I got a bottle of Natural Glow Express for $10.49 and received a bottle of Natural Glow Daily in Revitalizing, both for Medium-Tan skin tones because self tanners tend to be orange when intended for light skin tones.  I also used a $1 off coupon for each.
5. A Sweet & Salty Zone Perfect Nutrition Bar came in the mail from a facebook promotion
6. I got another trial size bottle of Clean & Clear Morning Burst Body Wash for texting 467467 BODY
7. 5 packets of skin care samples from Somme Institute from a promotion
8. A bag of Seattle's Best Coffee in level 3 for free from facebook promotion
9. I won a bottle of Au Natural Ayureda Essential Body Oil
10. Got my Rodarte for Target dress!  Unexpectedly, it looks quite nice on.

Saved $83 so far this week and spent $15

Steal: Victoria's Secret Semi Annual Sale

The Semi Annual Sale is going on right now online.  You can find bras from $12.99 and up.  Most of them are $24.99.  The Sexy Little Things have them at $19.99.  The everyday bras from Pink are $12.99.  The panties are $3.99.  I prefer to shop online because then I can find everything I want without spending hours going through piles of nonsense.  If you don't feel comfortable shopping online, the sale should hit the stores in a few days.  Good luck sorting through the piles!

Weekly Roundup: 5/15-5/21

1. My free Calvin Klein Halter Top came in the mail from Ruelala!  If you have Asian boobs, I recommend going a size up because the cloth is further apart.
2. I got 2 more free Suave Professionals Styling Product or Dry Shampoo coupons in the mail
3. I purchased 2 Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Polish in Mellow Yellow and Celeb City at $2.29 each after 2 $1 off coupons
4. I purchased a Physicians Formula Summer Eclipse Bronzer in Sunlight and Mineral Wear Talc Free Pressed Powder in Beige for $4.95 each.  Originally $14.95, this week at CVS, Physicians Formula powders/bronzers/concealers/foundations/blush are all $6 off and I had 2 $4 off manufacturer coupons.  If you are NC 35ish, I recommend the Beige shade.  I put it on this morning and it was SOO dark so I have to exchange it for Translucent Light to match my NC 20-25 skin tone.
5. I purchased 2 boxes of John Frieda Foam Hair Dye in Medium Ash Blonde and Light Ash Blonde for $-4.  If you are wondering why I get blonde dye, it is because I have naturally black hair and I have to use blonde to get it to a medium brown.  I had 2 coupons for a box of John Frieda Foam Dye for free and you get $2 back at CVS if you buy one this week.
6. I exchanged 4 Maybelline 24 Hour Lipsticks for different shades because I was sent some really dark and unflattering colors.  I got Blush On, So Pearly Pink, Continuous Coral, and Constantly Cabernet.  These lipsticks WILL NOT transfer whatsoever, but they will wear off near the center of the lip.  If you don't apply carefully, you're going to be stuck with uneven lipstick for the whole day.
7. I got another box of DeFabulous Ginger Shampoo & Conditioner and their Body Wash for free.  I used my boyfee's cat's address.
8. I got my pearl necklace from nomorerack!  They didn't turn out to be biwa as expected, but they do look nice and they are real.
9. My 2nd Calvin Klein Bikini Top came in the mail from Ruelala
10. Got my Lorac eye shadows from Hautelook!  They are amazingly pigmented.  I think they're the most pigmented eye shadows I've ever used to be honest.
11. Got mini hand sanitizer, candle, and lotion from BBW for free through the LUV BBW Club
12. Purchased a white bikini bottom from H&M.  I thought I was going to get 2-3 suits, but my store didn't have the ones in stock :(
13. Won a Roc Anti-Gravity Eye Cream from a Beauty Undercover giveaway
14. Got my velcro hair holders in the mail.  They don't really stick that well.
15. Returned my Stila Custom Color Blush and Lancome Color Design Lipstick in Trendy Mauve to Sephora.  I purchased an e.l.f. Studio Blush that was the exact same color as the Stila one, only $17 less.  The lipstick was just a horrible color for my skin tone.
16. Exchanged the Physicians Formula Talc Free Powder in Beige for Translucent Light
17. Got an appetizer for free at Smokey Bones using email sign up coupon
18. Ordered a Rodarte for Target Slip Dress in Peach and Xhilaration Electra Suede Boots in Tan for $11.12 after $20 of free credit from Swagbucks

Saved $172 this week and spent $31!

Steal: $9.90 Calvin Klein Bikini Tops and Bottoms

On Ruelala today, there's Calvin Klein bikini pieces going for $9.90.  If you were smart enough to sign up for Ruelala during the $20 free credit period, you could be getting one for free and still have left over credit!  The tops go by cup size and the bottoms go by letter sizing.  After the $20 credit, I'm getting a bikini top for $1.05 shipped because I live in NY and there are taxes for NY residents.  Most of the bathing suits retail $46 each normally, mine was actually $72

LOL.  I got 2 for $0.60 shipped.  Apparently my paypal didn't want to let it authorize so they cancelled my order.  However, since Ruelala has a policy of free shipping after the 1st order on the same day, I was able to get 2 for $0.60 shipped because I didn't have to pay shipping.
