Christmas Shopping

This past weekend I bought gifts for almost everyone on my Christmas list. I have a couple people left to buy gifts for. I was proud of myself too because I didn't spend money on myself. Well except for food but I had to eat. Even though I didn't spend money on myself doesn't mean I went home empty handed.

The Queen of coupons used her skills. I was able to get two items - Very Sexy makeup remover and Sephora Happy Birthday Bath and Shower Bubbles (basically body wash). I used a $10 coupon certificate at Victoria's Secret to get my Very Sexy makeup remover which was priced at $10 - you do the math. I actually prefer Clinique Take the Day off makeup remover and had run out but, I really didn't feel like spending $17.50 on makeup remover while I was trying to budget for Christmas presents.

The Sephora Happy Birthday Bath and Shower Bubbles is actually a gift that all the Sephora Beauty Insiders receive on their birthday. When I had tried to redeem mine at a Sephora located in a JC Penney (this is when I didn't have a real Sephora store near me yet) they told me that only the actual stores carried the body wash. Sephora sent me an email reminder this past weekend to pick up my birthday gift since I couldn't get it before. Well I finally got my hands on it and it smells YUMMY..like cake!
