NYX Haul & Beautyjoint.com review

I recently purchased some NYX cosmetics from Beautyjoint.com over black friday. Beauty joint sells NYX cosmetics at about 40%-50% off regular NYX prices. We all love saving money! They also sell Milani cosmetics, Jordana, and China Glaze at reduced prices.

Overall I was really happy with the site, prices and the products. The products arrived and each was wraped in bubble wrap to prevent breakage and everything was perfect and intact.  My only complaint was the swatch of the Eros lipstick. From the swatch on the site I thought Eros was going to be a nude pink color but when I received it it was really a bright coral red. It was a beautiful color but I was expecting it to be a nude. So just check with the NYX site first to make sure the color you see is the color you'll get. I think that they may have gotten them mixed up a bit.

Extreme Couponing, (Big saving at CVS, Haul)




Recently I have been watching that extreme couponing show and I have been inspired. I mean who doesn’t watch someone get 800$ worth of groceries for 5$ and say I want to do that. Today I feel I have done well. I got 75.94$ worth of stuff from CVS for 34.95, which is a little more than half off everything. 
Here is what I got
    ·         Crest advanced whitening strips – reg. $44.49
    ·         Old Spice body wash- reg. $4.99
    ·         2 old spice antiperspirant/deodorant- reg. $5.99each
    ·         CoverGirl Naturelux mascara –reg. $9.99
    ·         CoverGirl single Eyeshadow- reg. $3.99
Total= 75.94
I paid 34.95, which is 40.99 dollars in savings!
Here is how I did it.
    1.       I had first purchased the whitening strips separately with a $7 manufactures coupon from the    Sunday paper, and a $5 and $3 extra bucks coupon off my purchase from previous receipts. I knew ahead of time that the white strips would give me $10 store coupon, hence the separate transaction.
    2.       Then on the second transaction I used my store loyalty card ($6.50 in savings)
    3.       Then combined with a buy one body wash get one deodorant free manufactures coupon (5.49$ value) and $1 off one old spice product, and $2.50 off any 2 cover girl cosmetic manufactures coupon. ($8.49 all together)
    4.       Lastly I used the $10 coupon from my first purchase I save $25.49 on the second transaction with a grand total savings of $40.99!!!

To top my great savings day I did some grocery shopping and get a $3.75 porterhouse steak with store coupon free toothpaste with manufacturer’s coupon and store sale with the store doubling coupons that are under .99 cents and .34 cent Kleenex through store sale and double coupon. Man it feel great.
