Beauty Boxes and Markdowns :)

I'm going to work backwards and tell you to run to your H&M stores because their summer sale has begun! Tons of stuff marked down to $1-20 :)

I picked up this cute glow in the dark hat for my son for a buck because I knew he's get a kick out of it. #LMAO

Honestly the hat, plus a pair of $3 sunglasses for DH, and a new $7 bikini top in a smaller size (yay!) was all I scored so far. I hit two stores today and there are a couple more nearby that I'll probably check out tomorrow.

Last week both my Target $5 beauty box and $1 Birchbox arrived. The Target box was chock-full of goodies - the Revlon HD red lipstick in Gladious alone paid for the box. Goes one smooth and wears like a popsicle red lip stain. Also included was an eye cream, nail polish, nail polish remover pads and dry shampoo. I have to say I love everything. Totally worth it.

On the other hand, the Birchbox wasn't all that impressive. Let's just say, you got what you paid for. The box had a bunch of tiny samples and the only thing I even liked was the hair styling clip. I wish I had a second because you need more than one to do your hair LOL. Maybe it's just me but I wish I got more cosmetics - all it had was a tiny purple eyeliner (forgot to photograph it). I would have liked a more colorful box, KWIM? I even indicated I wanted cosmetic samples in their survey but I still got lots of tiny random tubes of goo that are pretty useless for me. If you got this box of randomness as well, I'm sorry I made you waste $1. Me thinks I'll be cancelling shortly.

Last but not least I have an Instagram giveaway ending tonight! Picked up a bunch of these furry crocs for a penny and I have lot's of extras in size toddler 6/7.

 If that size works for you head over to my Insta and look for this picture to join in the fun :)

Sample sale season is winding down but the retail sales are in full force. Right now there are discounts of 40-60% off in Barneys, Bergdorfs and Saks. Louboutin is only 40% and the Chanel boutique pre-sale for 30% off shoes and clothing starts this Friday. It's getting harder and harder to find discounted Chanel accessories. Stores like Neiman Marcus no longer have Chanel accessories on sale - good thing I got my bag and bracelets for 75% off when I did.

I'm trying to behave so I'm gonna skip the sales for now. I'll LYK when I cave and what I find LOL.

XOXO
