Bargain Hunter

I can't help it - I am a bargain hunter. Maybe it's because there's a thrill in getting a great bargain, maybe it's because I'm a law student and can't afford full price items, or maybe it's because it's like a little sport. Anyway, I love a good bargain. And I'm always on the lookout for good promo codes, coupons, discount codes -- whatever you want to call them! So today, because I, once again, don't have photos for you, I have a list of some of my favorite discounts going on right now! Enjoy!

I'm not sure how expansive the discount is (if it's only in NYC and Long Island, NY), but CVS is currently having a great makeup sale. Specifically, when it comes to Revlon products, it is selling Revlon Matte Lipstick as 2 for the price of one (so $7.99 for two gorgeous lipsticks -- I ultimately got 4 for the price of 2). I am a MAJOR matte lipstick fan and when I found out a couple of months ago that Revlon was doing a line of matte makeup, I flipped! Milani makes a great matte lipstick, but I can't seem to find it in stores anymore. I also really like Nars' matte lipstick and Bobbi Brown makes an AWESOME lip color which is a little matte -- but of course, Nars and Bobbi are on the expensive side. So, low and behold, here are the Revlon colors I bought yesterday:

Today I am wearing the Mauve color and it's very chic, yet work appropriate.

While it's not the most amazing discount of them all, Target currently has a promotion where it will take $5 off your online purchase of $50 or more. In addition, you can get free shipping on certain purchases.

Right now, Kohls is offering free shipping on purchases of $75+. And let me tell you, it is easy to spend $75 on several amazing quality items from Kohls -- it all comes down to Vera Wang's Simply Vera line.

I own one skirt from this line and, let me tell you, it has held up SO well. It is probably the most comfortable skirt I own (it's a grey pencil skirt from about a year ago) and looks as good as new to this very day!

Those of you who know me know that I LOVE the designers (Lela Rose, Abaete, etc.) for Payless lines (pictures of my purchases soon to be posted). I just saw the below bag is on sale and think it is quite sleek and modern:

I love the metal details and the zipper (so your personal belongings are nice and safe and unexposed). And what is great about Payless is that it has the free in-store shipping option - so nice!

Well, I think that's about it for now. I hope I made your shopping even a little more economical. I'll REALLY make sure to post some photos soon. For now, happy shopping!
