by // // Comments off

Kohl’s has this Real Techniques Bold Metals Contour Brush on clearance for $8.4, use code BUYNOW to get another 20% off for the price of $6.72(reg. $21!).

Screen Shot 2017-10-07 at 2.02.46 PM.png

Code BUYNOW is for F&F sitewide 20% off sale, ends 10/9. It won’t work on the prestige beauty brands, such as butter London??, but I do find these 2 sets prices are good, great for stocking stuffers.

Click here to see the coupon page for more promo codes. I think you can stack the 20% off BUYNOW with the following codes.

My Ulta Platinum Appreciation Day purchase + free gifts

by // // Comments off

Here is the order I made on Ulta Platinum Appreciation Day 8/21!

You can take a look my My Ulta Order Today post to see how much I spent and saved!

This IT Love Beauty Fully All Over Powder Brush #211 is the BEST face powder brush I’ve ever used! I mainly use it for applying finishing powder. Super soft! It feels like rubbing a baby bunny on my face! It is big and fluffy, gets the job done fast, applies evenly. $40 for one brush is pricey, if you can wait, wait till 20% off coupon, 5x points, or a big free beauty bag drops!

The IT Airbrush All-Over Shadow Brush #119 is also wonderful. It is very soft, can pick up a lot of products, and blends so well. This brush is great for applying base shadow and blending. It is an efficient tool, gets the job done nicely and quickly!

Since the Ulta Platinum Appreciation Day, I’ve been buying more IT brushes! You’ll see them again in my haul post!

ulta purchase 2.JPG

Yep, more Ulta hand soap! They are as good as Bath and Body Works. I wash my hands very frequently and annoy everyone in the house by saying – ‘Please wash your hands before touching the food!’, ‘Did you wash your hands?’

ulta purchase 1.JPG

The following are the free gifts with IT brushes purchase + Ulta email offers + 2 fragrance samples with any purchase.

If you really want the Laura Geller highlighter but don’t want to spend over $50 or you are not platinum, follow the following steps to get it with free shipping on any purchase!

  1. Choose anything in the Sale Page here, price low to high, starting at $1
  2. Add code 14087ATG5GNRBPA in the cart, if it says ‘code is used’, change any letter or number in the code, such as -> from 14087ATG5GNRBPA to 14087ATG9GNRBPA, keep on trying!
  3. Add the 3 deluxe samples to the cart:
