I’ve never been one to get excited over BLACK FRIDAY or even
CYBER MONDAY. I couldn’t even tell you why. Well…it somewhat is because I hate
large crowds of people swarming me for a toaster or other item that people do
not need to be getting all crazy about. I hate how some people act on Black
Friday. Every single year I hear about deaths that happened by either a
shooting or a trampling. It just isn’t something I want to engage myself in.
However, this past Black Friday and Cyber Monday I did score a few online gifts
and deals I wanted to share with you in the spirit of Christmas, hah!
On “Black Friday” Rory and I off of work and I couldn’t
sleep so I was awake at midnight scrolling through my e-mails with all of the
discounted items on particular websites I frequent. Here’s what I found:
Nordstrom: I purchased a Michael Kors studded beanie, a
Betsey Johnson coin purse and a David & Young infinity scarf. Unfortunately
I can’t remember the actual deal they had going on but I got everything for at
least 15% off.
Gerard Cosmetics: Gerard had an awesome sale going on…30%
off of EVERYTHING. I was super excited about this. I ended up getting 3
lipsticks and 3 glosses. Lipsticks: Buttercup, Nude and 1995. Glosses: Nude,
Plum Crazy and Buttercream. I ended up splitting my order into two so I
actually got $40 dollars off total from my purchases. SCORE!
Sephora: Sephora was having a bunch of $10.00 sale items and
perhaps free shipping, I can’t remember for sure. I got free shipping but that
could have been because I spent over a certain amount.
I bought Too Faced Workday to Weekend Play, which are two
eye shadow primers. One of the primers is in the original color, which I have
and I love. The other is in the Champagne color which I’m sure I will like just
as much. Some of the girls at my local Sephora previously told me they were it
as a shadow when they are going for a minimal makeup look. I doubt I will wear
it alone but I will just be careful what colors I put on top of it! I also
purchased the First Aid Beauty Fab Star Duo which is a cleanser and another
cream. I purchased the Buxom Power Players set which is a mascara as well as a
Bare Minerals mascara. Lastly, I bought the Boscia Pore Purifying Duo. I didn’t
really like many of the samples they had to choose from on Black Friday. I went
with: Laura Mercier foundation primer sample (which I have been wanting to try
out) as well as both the Art of Shaving and Marc Jacobs samples.
Next, I made a small purchase on Lime Crime. I snagged two
lipsticks: Babette and Coquette. I may be partial to Babette because I am in
fictional love with Babe Walker and her alter ego. In all seriousness though,
both of the colors are gorgeous and I love them! Unfortunately, Lime Crime did
not have any sales but I was on a roll so I figured I might as well grab them
while I could. They are pretty inexpensive.
Rory and I are hosting our first “Ugly Christmas Sweater Party”
this year so we got ours from a site called Tipsy Elves. There were definetly
no sales here either. Actually, maybe free shipping. However, I am not putting
a picture on here until the I do a post on the party!
I also made purchases on Amazon, American Eagle and from
Living Social that are part of two people’s Christmas presents and one of them
could possibly read the blog so I don’t want to spoil the presents. Living
Social had really great sales up to 20% off individual things. Amazon had all
their Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals. I didn’t find anything for myself on
Amazon but I did find a couple things for Rory.
On Cyber Monday I picked out 4 lipsticks from MAC. They just
had overnight shipping, no other deals. I purchased: Crème In Your Coffee,
Party Line, Craving and Please Me.
Lastly, on Cyber Monday I made a quick ULTA purchase. They
were having buy 2 get 1 free on all of their OPI nail polish. I purchased: My Voice
is a Little Norse, Christmas Gone Plaid and First Class Desires.
OH! And I also bought my friend Michelle's Christmas present. I won't disclose where it's from since she could potentially read this. :) Unfortunately, no deals on that one either!
I hope I’m not forgetting anything. I’ve been trying to keep
it all in my phone so I don’t overlook missing a package. Rory has like 45345
things coming from Amazon so hopefully he is doing the same.
Let me know in the comments if you guys went Black
Friday/Cyber Monday shopping!
