>Getting the Most Bang From your Make-Up Bucks

>Here is This Mama’s first Guest Blog Post!!  From PolkaDotGlam  - a beauty/wellness blog from a busy mom who likes to save money

You’re a mom and you’re busy, but you also like to look good and not break the bank. So if you love brands like Cover Girl, Maybelline, L’Oreal and Revlon, be sure to stalk the Sunday ads (either the newspaper or online) for your local drugstores (RiteAid, CVS, Walgreens) as they have the best sales – often Buy One Get one Free sales even. If you pair these sales with a coupon, you can really make out. For instance, in the Northeast this week, Rite Aid has Cover Girl make-up Buy One Get One Free, but our local newspaper also has two CG coupons ($1 off one item and another for $2.50 off 2 CG items) making your savings amazing.

Also, if you have an ULTA near you, RUN and sign up for their free rewards card. This will entitle you to their 20% off any item sale and their $3.50 off $10 coupons. Also you earn points – I just got a free OPI nailpolish with mine. Those retail for $10 ordinarily.
