I am a huge fan of coupons and have been scouting coupons on deals for over a year now. So it was quite awesome that P&G Saver had a $2.50 off two Cover Girl products while Walgreens was having a Buy 1 get one 50% off sale. I am in dire need of lipstick that isn't a boring brown so that is what I went on the hunt to get. Soon I will be on the hunt for blush but not quite in a hurry for that just yet but I found what I was looking for!
Me normal lip color:
Cover Girl Tinted Lip Balm in Hipster
Cover Girl Lipstick in Tempt Seduction:
It didn't end there though! I wasn't expecting to come out with what I did but here is what else I got:
4 eye shadow palettes (3 squares for $0.50, larger one for $1.49), the 2 CG lipsticks ($5.49 and $7.49) and one manicure salon with 5 nail polishes and a dryer for $4.99. Total spent after taxes $16.97.
I'm not expecting these to be any great shakes but thought it was a good way to play with color and technique without wasting quality product.
I also try to be good about the whole Reduce, Reuse and Recycle when I can so when I bumped into a vintage Coca-Cola crate in the garage, I got to thinking. I could line it in some scrap velvet or satin I have laying around (I'm a seamstress by hobby), clean up the outside to preserve the vintage paint and have a handy container to contain all my mess!
I will have to play with it a bit, see how to get it to work best for me but I am pretty excited to have a crafty project to noodle over!
