Haul: Free Samples + Free Products

I bet you all are getting tired of my "coupon" related posts huh? I promise I'll do a post about makeup soon! I do want to share with you all my addiction to free stuff and samples. I love getting stuff in the mail [who doesn't?]... every day is like Christmas! [well, almost every day]. Really though, who doesn't love to open their mailbox and find a free goody waiting for them??

Over the past few months I've been filling out almost every good sample and free item form I can find. I know it's weird but I like getting free products. Just the other day on facebook Aussie was giving away a full sized bottle of product! Hello! FULL SIZE! Not one of those little 0.5ml type bottles, a FULL BOTTLE. Well, really they are sending a coupon for a free bottle [I don't blame them, shipping would be crazy expensive if it was a full bottle they were sending out].

Are you all ready? I'd like to show you guys my [stash] of free stuff. Below I'll put a list of what each individual item is. Ready...

Organization: My Creative Touch

Do you ever have a random moment where creativity sparks and you have to stop what you're doing right then? That was me yesterday. I had a bunch of buttons and ribbon sitting on my dining room table that I wasn't quite sure where to store. The ribbons were all over the table and the buttons were in two different ziploc bags. I knew I wanted to put them in a container or something.

I remembered I had got these little thank you jars from my boyfriend's mom. She got them from a wedding because they had too many left over. Well I realized I had 6 of these. I emptied them out and decided to put different colored buttons inside each one. 

 

For the ribbon, I had a small sugar jar [that's what I use to use for sugar] and I cleaned it up and put a cute little felt flower on top with some hot glue, just to spruce it up a bit. I was able to put all of my loose ribbon and spools of ribbon inside. I don't have a lot of ribbon, so the little jar works just fine.

What do you guys think? I thought it was super cute. Now I won't be losing buttons or ribbon!

Is there a such thing as Free??

I know what you're probably thinking. Is she really going to turn this blog into couponing? No, no I'm not. This blog will always be about makeup and about every day life. I might need to change the title eventually because I pretty much talk about anything and everything!

Anyway, this morning I headed over to Petco and picked up a couple of items. I had a coupon for 2 free cans of Fancy Feast Cat Food. I also had a coupon for 1 free 3.5oz bag of dog treats. I ended up giving that coupon to a friend in my complex and ended up taking it back so I could see if I could find it at Petco, since Walmart didn't have them.

Luckily Petco had the Pro Plan Roasted Slices dog treats in stock. I was kind of hesitant to grab them because the coupon said Free up to $3.99 value. Petco had them priced at $5.99. Well after talking to the cashier, I ran back and grabbed them.

After ringing up my coupons. . . What would have been $7.17, I walked out of the store with FREE products. =]

If you're ever looking for great deals on anything, I suggest you check out The Coupon Posse's Blog. They (cause I'm sure it's more than one lady) find great deals at Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, Walmart, Target and pretty much every where in between. So feel free to follow her blog and start saving on some great deals!

I love spending $0.35

 There is no way that I could ever call myself an "Extreme Couponer" mainly because I'm not one. Never will I be one. Lol. But I do love a good bargain!


I went to Walmart the other night because I had a couple of coupons that were expiring soon. One was for $2.00 off any size Tidy Cats kitty litter. The second one was for BOGO Whiska's Entrees. 


Here's the prices:
Tidy Cats Litter: Sm Bag: $1.77 (free with $0.23 over)
Whiska's Entrees: $0.55 each.


I used both coupons and my final price for all 3 was $0.35 =]


I love getting good deals like this because after awhile Cat food and Cat litter get pricey. I know that with these coupons it's easier for me to get her essentials and be able to spend a little more on use getting groceries and stuff like that. =]


Do any of you use coupons on a regular basis?

Aussie Mega Hold Hairspray. Oh How I Love Thee

This is going to be a super quick review because I'm sure 99.9% of all women know what hairspray this is.

Aussie Mega Hair Spray!

This happens to be the best hair spray ever created! At least in my opinion! Unlike other hair sprays, Aussie doesn't leave your hair feeling crunchy and unmanageable. Plus the smell is to die for! 

Not only do I use Aussie hair spray on my hair [duh] but I also use it on my hair bows to keep them smelling good and from fraying. I know Anna over at  Embellishments Beauty was wondering what smell was on her bows that she one in my giveaway. I told her that I used Aussie hair spray on them. I haven't met a single person that does not like the smell of Aussie products.

Who else loves Aussie hair products? I swear by this, it's amazing! This is the only hair spray that will ever touch my hair [even though I'm not a huge hair spray fan].

June Lust List: I Want!

Hello Kitty Necklace that bumblebeeetuna made! $25 CAD

I really want to try her perfume. Plus it's a cute little bottle! $65 at Nordstrom

Hello kitty vans $50 @ Van's Stores

My friend actually bought the first pair shown the other day. I think if I get a pair I'm either going with the black and red w/red laces or the pink w/pink laces.

My friend Jana has been using this and loves it. It makes her skin look like she's not wearing anything. I might just have to give this a try. $8-10

Sleek iDivine Acid Palette I think these are 4.99 Euros.

I've really been wanting to try this palette out because the colors are super bright, pigmented and beautiful. I just don't think I can get one since they are made in the UK. Hmmm.




That's pretty much it for my June Lust List. Not a whole lot but it's what I've been wanting to get =]

FREE Sample: Bare Escentuals Bareminerals Foundation

 So I just wanted to share a sample I found online yesterday for a free thing of Bare Escentuals Bareminerals Foundation. Information is below:

Get a FREE 10-day supply of Bare Escentuals Bareminerals Foundation with the choice of original or matte.  This offer is valid only at Sephora inside JCPenney stores and is a limit of one sample per person. Available in 6 shades and includes a baby buffing brush. 

Since my Jcpenney doesn't have a sephora inside, I went over to my sephora store (in the mall) and checked to see if I could use the coupon there. They accepted it only because they had done the offer a week or so ago and they had some left. So, if your Jcpenney doesn't have a sephora inside, just try your regular sephora. Luckily, my friend and I didn't have to drive around to a Jcpenney that had one. Whew! lol. Hope you guys enjoy this freebie!

Oh Hello Kittah!

I wanted to share with everyone what I got in the mail today!

=]

Is everyone ready?? Ok, so my mom had told me that she bought my sandals for me. I ended up getting that package today. I was super lucky because I happened to get home right when the UPS guy was at my door. I yelled out of my car window "It's FOR ME!!!" and then he brought the pen pad over to me to sign for my package (Told you mom). 

Anyway, of course I brought it inside and Sissy had to give it the sniff test.

It passed! =]

  

  

When I opened the package I noticed something sitting on top. My mom had told me that she threw a little something extra in. hehehe. 

HELLO KITTAH!!!!!

Super cute little makeup bag, which is actually the perfect size to hold what little makeup I own and what looks to be a little coin bag or something. I'll probably use it for coins or coupons. Something like that. It's so cute though! I absolutely love hello kitty.

This little bag is so cute! I'm a big dork when it comes to Hello kitty. Then again one of my friends has the hello kitty toaster and wants the hello kitty waffle iron. (Yes that's right, I'm talking about you Jana) hehe. We are both Hello Kitty freaks.

Moving on.... I already told you guys that I was getting these sandals and I am totally in love! I just think I need to get some cute skirt to wear with them or something. (I don't wear shorts).

These I got in the color Pewter. I love them!! I definitely need to go get a pedi before I wear these cause right now my toes could use some help.

Thanks Mom!! I absolutely love all the new things I got. I can't wait to wear my sandals.. (actually I wore them out last night for a little bit).

Free Jewelry = Happy Heart

Who loves free jewelry?! I do!! I read on another blog about this website www.nomorerack.com doing a sample/giveaway for a really pretty bracelet. All you had to do was sign up and have 5 friends sign up under you. Easy! 

Well I asked the company how long it would take for me to find out if I actually got the bracelet or not. I didn't really get an answer about it but today I checked my e-mail and they had sent me tracking info. When I pulled it up, low and behold... "Shipped 6-9-11". I was like "YAY!!!" hahaha. I love getting packages in the mail.

 

 Inside this tiny little box was my bracelet. Hehe. I opened it up and this is how it was packaged.

They took such care with it and used a sheet of bubble wrap to protect the little black box that contained my bracelet.

How sweet was that? Most places don't give a rat's butt how they ship your stuff.

As you can see, inside the box was a little velvet sack containing my bracelet! Yay!

 LoL, sorry about all the fuzz showing up in the photo. I've been using my crappy Nikon Coolpix camera and it SUCKS at taking pictures. I can't wait to have my new camera (one day). This thing is the worst at taking photos.

 >.<

I don't know why I took a picture of it inside the velvet sack but I did.

I could not wait to get it out of the little bag, but I wanted to take a ton of pictures for you guys considering I hardly ever post these days. 

 Again, I apologize for all of the fuzz and crap on the little bag. It really takes away from the quality and beauty of the bracelet. I absolutely LOVE this bracelet! Best free gift ever!

What do you guys think? Like it or No?
