Start the day with a Stila deal
If you love Stila makeup but tend not to love the price, check out this cute little Stila eyeshadow and blush palette available today at Nordstrom for just $7.90 shipped. The included shades of pink are flattering to nearly any skin tone, and besides, how can you resist colors named things like “bestie” and “hipster?”
I certainly can’t.
I love it when someone pretty makes a Spectacle
The only thing I like better than when someone I know writes a good book is when someone I know writes a good book and then it’s free. Heh.
My friend-inside-the-shiny-box and sometimes Want Not reader Angie has gone and released her first novel to Kindle, a YA romp called Spectacle. And today it’s available for free, so you can download it and get reading. Or, er, download it for your teen. (In my case, I downloaded it and now my teen and I are arguing over who gets to read it first. Hooray!)
Congratulations, Angie! And thanks for the great deal, too!
You deserve a pretty dress
Yes, you. Apparently today is a day to celebrate love (or—if you’re in my family—chocolate!), but when celebrating love I think a pretty dress for yourself is a pretty good pick. Why not, right?
There’s a secret sale going on today only at Tulle—take 20% off any dress and receive free shipping when you use coupon code VDAY20. It even works as a further discount on items already on sale, so go ahead. Treat yourself.
(A note of assistance: I absolutely love the vintage-inspired fashions from Tulle, but have found their sizing to vary wildly from item to item. Be sure to check the sizing guide for the item you want before you purchase. I have both extra-smalls and mediums from there that fit, it just depends on what it is.)
More fun than a bundle
The President’s Day Sale is on over at Scholastic, and that means you can take an additional 20% off everything (even sale items) with coupon code PRES12.
If your gift closet is feeling a little bare, search on fundles to find two great I Spy deals—The Pirate Treasure Fundle is filled with pirate-themed gaming, and the Riddle Master Fundle is perfect for your little wordplay fan. Each is just $9.99, or about $8 after coupon, and you can ship up to three sets for just $5.99 (so basically, buy three, and the coupon covers your shipping).
As an added bonus, “fundle” is entertaining to say. Especially if you say it over and over really quickly. I mean, I assume.
Lovely Lancome
Do you love Lancome products? Right now at Macy’s you can score a huge Lancome bonus—spend $35, and you can choose your 7-item gift set to receive for free.
Spend $50, and shipping is free. Spend $68, and get more free gifts!
It beats fighting your way through the mall, and who doesn’t like free stuff? No one I know.
Lather up!
If you’ve somehow missed any of the recent sales at Bath and Body Works, don’t fret! They’re still running a Buy 3, Get 2 Free special on most items. Anti-bacterial soaps are 4 for $15 or 6 for $20, too.
And it’s a good time to buy, because I know a lot of us end up feeling like shipping can kill the deal. Today you can use coupon code LOVE30 for free shipping on your $30+ order. That’s like another $8 in your pocket that you’re now free to spend on something else delicious. Maybe chocolate.
So very UGGly…
If you love all things UGG, make sure to check out 6pm.com this weekend—they’ve got UGG merchandise up to 75% off! Sure, the more deeply discounted items are things like sandals and clothing, but even those horrible clompy boots can be found in the 40% – 45% discount range.
Actually, I saw some beautiful riding boots in there. It gave me a bad case of cognitive dissonance, because they were elegant. Weird, right?
All You for all of you
If you like All You magazine—and what’s not to like, given that there’s about $50 worth of manufacturer’s coupons in every issue—then check out the current deal on a 1-year auto-renew subscription at Amazon, where you can score 12 issues for just $12.
If the auto-renewal thing scares you a little, fear not: After your order has been processed, you can go into your “Magazine Manager” in your account and remove the automatic renewal. No biggie.
$1/issue for $50 worth of coupons? That’s math even I can do.
So I thought I should mention…
… that a lot of you have noticed that posting here has been very sporadic the last few weeks, and a few folks have asked what’s going on, and I kept hoping everything would even out and I’d never have to answer. Tralala! Everything’s fine! Back to normal! I have no idea what you’re talking about! Unfortunately I think that bit of wishful thinking has expired by now.
So. Nobody panic, Want Not isn’t going anywhere. But one of my kids has been extremely ill, and between her being in the hospital for a couple of weeks and the care she now requires back at home, work is just taking a major backseat right now. I’m doing what I can, when I can. I hope we’ll return to our regular programming soon, both because I take this place seriously and because having a sick kid is really, really awful.
Bear with me, please? Thank you. And might I add that you all look very pretty today.
Great prices on gloves
Been to Bon-Ton lately? They’re having another big sale, and you can use coupon code WHSECLRFB12 for an additional 20% off sale price. Do a search on Isotoner SmarTouch to find smart-phone-friendly Isotoner gloves at around $4/pair—that’s crazy cheap, even before the coupon.
You could take care of a bunch of next year’s Christmas presents. The biggest challenge would be remembering where you put them for the next year.
