Fiday Haul: elf, Burts Bees, Tarte and more!

Happy Friday! I have some great finds for you today! I hope you're following me on Facebook, so that you can see the deals as they come, since a lot of this weeks haul comes from some online shopping with some great coupon codes that I always share with you on Facebook! Most codes are not available anymore, so make sure you "like" me so that next time you wont miss out! This week at the drug store(s) was a slight miss. Other than one good deal, I didn't see anything I wanted to jump on, so the majority of my haul this week is from online shopping.

I got 2 new Tarte items this week! I love Tarte, and their products never disappoint. I posted a code (no longer valid) on my Facebook page, where you could get 50% off of all of their cheek stains and LipSurgence's! So, I scored these for 1/2 off! The retail for these was $24 for the LipSurgence in "fearless" and $30 for the cheek stain in "tipsy", but with the coupon code, I paid $27!

I also did a little Ulta shopping this week! I always scan the clearance section of my Ulta store. Sometimes I find junk and sometimes there is a great steal waiting for me to pick up! This week I found a clearanced Burt's Bees Christmas kit that was originally $14.99, and was marked down to $7.49. So a 50% savings already! Then, I am lacking in the lip liner area of my makeup collection, so to get my total to over $10, I got the NYX lip liner in "nude" for $4.49. And, since  my total was over $10, I was able to use my coupon that was sent to me in the mail (you can also print one here, or use your Mobil device) for $3.50 off $10 purchase. So, with coupon savings, and clearance savings I went from $19.48 to $8.49!.

Here is another internet coupon code that I posted on my Facebook wall. I scored some elf goodies! These were all 50% off. Here is a list of the items I got:

elf Moisturizing Foundation Stick in "ivory"
elf Mineral Eyeshadow in "Seductive"
elf Mineral Eyeshadow in "Innocent"
elf Mineral Eyeshadow in "Temptress"
elf Pressed Mineral Eyeshadow in "Whats your name?"
elf Pressed Mineral Eyeshadow in "Beauty Queen"
elf Blush Pallet in "Light"

I'm SUPER excited for the blush pallet! More on that next week! Full retail for these items would have cost me $27. But with the code, I was able to score all of this for $20.45 with shipping!

And AGAIN with the Facebook. You should really follow me :) I posted a few weeks ago that Target was selling another Beauty Box! This deal was for 5 items (both full size and deluxe samples) for only $5 SHIPPED! So, basically only $1 per item. The mascara in this box alone retails for more than the whole box! Items are:

1) TONI&GUY Casual Sea Salt Texturising Spray (2.5 fl oz): Want beachy hair without hitting the surf? Spray from root to tip for salty, sultry texture and subtle, windswept waves. Retail: $4.99

2) L’Oreal Voluminous Butterfly Mascara (.22 fl oz): Stretch and lengthen lashes for a fluttery, winged-out look with this unique mascara formula and revolutionary asymmetrical Butterfly Brush. Retail: $7.99 to $8.99 depending on the store.

3) Herbal Essences Naked Dry Shampoo (1.7 oz): Give hair a rejuvenating boost with this paraben and colorant-free formula made with natural tapioca to instantly absorb excess oil with less residue. Retail: $1.99

4) COVER GIRL Smoochies Sizzle Gloss (.44 fl oz): Pucker up. Sheer color meets sizzling shimmer in a moisturizing formula that’s always stunning, never sticky. Retail: $6.49

5) Jergens BB Body Cream Light (2 fl oz): Finally, a multi-tasking beauty cream in a quick-drying formula that goes on sheer and delivers visible results in just 5 days. Retail : $3.46

So, value of this box is about $25.  A $20 savings! Oh, and it also came with a Target coupon good for $3 off your $15 beauty purchase.

And, my last two items come from CVS, where they have a deal this week on Aquaphor or Eucerin - buy any 2 and get $5 Bucks back. These little travel/trial sized Eucerin Original Healing Lotions are priced at $1.19 and they produce the $5 bucks on your receipt! Here is the math in case you're curious how it works (yes, it is a money-maker!)...
Eucerin Original Healing Lotion 1 oz.
$1.19 x 2 =
$2.38
-$5.00 (Bucks that printed on my receipt for a future purchase)
-$0.23 (10% back for Beauty Club membership - 10% is always taken BEFORE coupons)
-$2.85 A great money making deal!

So, that's all! How did you do this week? My weekly total was a bit higher than I normally spend at $58.09, but had I not gotten any deals I would have paid $127.86! So, I saved well over 50% on my purchases and even got a few high end items!
