Great Purchases this Week

December 6, 2012

I think I made some great purchases and got some fabulous deals this week!  I love to do most of my shopping at discount stores like Nordstrom Rack and TJ Maxx, etc.  I don’t really see the point in paying full price for most items that can be found at these stores for lower prices.  Here are a few things I picked up this week:

Sequined sparkly candles that I bought at Michael’s for 50% off
Ballet flats from Sperry in Leopard Pony at Nordstrom Rack
I paid $59.97 instead of $99
Vince Camuto ballet flats in Deco Gold at Nordstrom Rack
I paid $59.97 instead of $98
I also had a $20 reward certificate!
The Brand New Naked Basics palette from Urban Decay.
This had to be ordered online as it’s not available in stores yet.
(full price)
These cookies are amazing!  I purchased them at Sprout’s Market.
I picked them up in several flavors in the individual serving size bags so that I don’t go too crazy.
Have you gotten any great deals recently?
I plan to get most of my holiday shopping complete before the stores get too crazy.

Have a great week!

I’m demonstrating two new-to-me beauty products th I’m demonstrating two new-to-me beauty products that easily captured my heart. The first is a cheek stain (be careful - a little goes a long way) that can also be used as a lip stain. I adore a multi tasker!

The second is a super moisturizing lip gloss treatment. It has ceramides, shea butter and avocado oil for smoother lips. Wear it sheer or layer it on for more color payoff.

Both of these were sent to me as gifts from the brands in PR packages. Thank you!

I recently got my hands on a brand new product and I recently got my hands on a brand new product and I’m so excited about it that I could explode! I’m literally blown away by the science that went into this one. My only hint is that it’s “beauty from the inside” with a combination of ingredients that address the signs of aging from within. We’re calling it a Skin Revolution because it’s a total game changer and there’s nothing like it out there!

Let me know if you want VIP access to this product before it’s available to the public.😎

And if you want to get it NOW and be part of this incredible brand called LimeLife to earn extra income and join a group of supportive women, I can share those details with you too!🤩
