MY GREAT SHOPPING DAY
I had an awesome day today at Publix. I went in basically for the nutrigrain bars but picked up 4 v8 juice and 4 hefty paper plates to get my total up. My total was in the negative so I threw on a pack of gum and them owed under $1.00 I don't want them to give me money back!
The store was fully stocked with them but I don't expect that to last long knowing they are free! I ended up with 24 boxes all going to my grandkids!
Next stop CVS where I got 2 nature maid vitamins, 2 nail polish, lip liner, 3 poise towelettes and a physicians formula BB cream and paid $.46. I tried to do the deal again at the cobblestone store and they wouldn't let me do it because of the overage on the poise towelettes. I left not buying anything. The beach store is so much better. If I have time ill try it one more time at another store.

DRUGSTORE MAKEUP
I have been rearching make-up. I am sick and tired of spending money on expensive make-up and it doesn't work or you don't like it.
This all started when my daughter bought me blush for Christmas at Sephora. It wasn't cheap. It was $25 to $30. The color wasn't right so I gave her my blush I use now (which was Sephora) that I am scraping the sides to get any color. It's really empty but I don't want to give it up because I loved it. She went back to Sephora and told them to match the color I gave her.
She came back with a Laura Mercier color, same price, that was nothing like the color I sent. I could tell immediately it was going to be too light and too brown. Yep, I was right. So now I am going to head over there and ditch the blush deal all together and just get something else. That is what led me on my quest to find cheaper makeup because I am tired of spending a fortune on it.
This is what I found. I found some things out there that I would have never known about had I not researched it. I bought a few of them and I really liked them. The best part is that they all come from the drugstore. I still have more to get but I am doing it slowly so I don't put out a ton of money at one time.
Concealer was something I really need. The dark circles under my eyes are a bit scary sometimes in the morning and I could really use some help to brighten up my face. The Physicians Formula I use now just left creases under my eye no matter how much I blended or moisturized. I headed to the Clinique counter and they tried to sell me something that was about .02 oz. and sold for over $35. Well, maybe it wasn't that small, but it was a tiny, tiny tube. I then checked out Estee Lauder. Estee didn't turn out to be my friend either. She wanted over $45 for a concealer with emoillent moisturizers which is apparently what we need when we turn this age.
What I came up with was a concealer that makeup artists love. It is Maybelling Fit Her and it sells for $4.99. I didn't find it at CVS and finally found it at Target. I tried it and no more creases under my eyes! I couldn't believe it! It also brightened my face and gave me a sense of accomplishment knowing I didn't have to spend $45.
The next was eyebrow pencil. I have never used this before. I have never needed it. But now I notice some thinning out of my eyebrows. That doesn't surprise me since my hair is falling out by the handfuls. I think it started talking to my eyebrows and asked them to follow suit. I have used eyeshadow and various other pencils and never liked the way it looked. I found a pencil at CVS, again recommended by makeup artists, and it costs $4.97. It is by Rimmell and the color is Hazel. She said unless you were blond you would be able to use this color. Again, I love it!
Next, let us move on to blush. I still have to try this, but I bought two different shades. One of the kinds they recommended was Millani Blush which sells at CVS for $8.99. In fact, they were B1G1 50% off this week so I bought two colors. The color they recommended was Luminious which is supposed to mimic Nars Orgasam. Yes, Nars named their most popular blush that wins as being a fan favorite, orgasam. Go figure. I bought another color but I can't remember the name right now. I'll post about it after I try that one.
I'll keep you posted after I try the Revlon ColorStay Foundation which was another one of their favorite drugstore picks. If it works, that sure beats my $40 a bottle Estee Lauder Double Wear.
More to come on my makeup merry-go-round!

DON'T FORGET TO ENTER FOR $100 GIFT CARD
As many of you know, my favorite sale is upon us once again. It seems like just a few months ago, I stocked up on white and black beans, canned vegetables and bread crumbs. The deal isn't as good as last year but it is still a stock-up price.
Also to refresh your memory, I was one of the 500 winners to win a $100 Publix gift card. Woop! Woop! Although I never got to use it because I handed it right over to my daughter, I was able to benefit because that money didn't come out of my pocket.
So this year I am entering again HERE...and my husband is entering (he doesn't know it) and so is my dog, Sophie. Now I figure I have a better chance to win!
Make sure you enter. They don't notify if you win. You will just receive an envelope in the mail with the $100 gift card and then you will shout for joy!

CHEAP HUMIDIFIERS
If you are in need of a humidifier, head to Target where they have just been reduced to 75% off!
They are on the wall with all the portable heaters and the sign still says 50% off. The heaters are still 50% off but the humidifiers have moved to 75%.
They still had quite a few of them available as of today. I wouldn't wait too long though. When things drop to 75%, they tend to move quickly.

BREAKING NEWS!!!
I have some breaking news fresh off the street today!
I struck up a conversation with the manager of Marshalls today. I asked him if anyone was going to go in the old K-Mart building yet. It is such a good location and such a big space. He told me they just found out yesterday that Ross, a beauty supply store and Staples (although I think he meant Office Max) are going in. They are going to redo the whole plaza which is what it really needs.
He also said they just found out their store is going to get completely remodeled starting the beginning of March. That means new bathrooms, new dressing rooms, new fixtures, etc. How exciting is that!
The first protype of this remodel is in North Jacksonville and we are going to be the second! It will be a pain while it is going on but it will be well worth it in the end.
I am excited that Ross will be moving in next door. Although I secretly wished for a HomeGoods, I will take Ross so now I don't have to go to the other plaza.
