new car = panic time (or not!)

Well, since my last update.. I am now a proud owner a new(er) 2009 Metallic Blue Toyota Corolla, and boy do I LOVE her (Yes, it is a her and her name is Coley.. the Corolla.. get it?). My first payment (besides my initial down payment) is coming up in a week. I've cut down my spending tremendously... until I discovered that Target was having a HUGE clearance sale on makeup... oh the dreaded makeup. Its my weakness.
I'd like to think my one vice in life is expensive makeup. I do not bat an eye at $40 + foundation , $30 mascara, and $21 Tarte lipgloss. But I do own 'drugstore' makeup, and quite a bit. A few of the deals I've scored recently:


  • Sonia Kashuk luxury lip color (bought two)
    • (Reg $8.99 - Clearance $1.34) - These were oddly 85% off?
  • Pixi by Petra Smokey Eye Primer
    • (Reg $18.00 - Clearance $5.40)  
  • Neutrogena loose power foundation
    • (Reg $11.99 - Clearance $5.98) - $3/1 MQ = $2.98 
  • Almay Colorstay concealer 
    • (Reg $7.74 - Clearance $3.87) - $3/1 TQ = $0.87
  • Covergirl Lash blast volume double pack (Bullseye Bodega) 
    • (Reg $9.99 - Clearance $2.98) - $1/1 MQ = $1.98 or $.99 each
    • I own over 15 mascara's, so I'm giving one to a friend, who actually gave me the coupon. I forgot mine in the car. woops.
  • Say YES! to Blueberry travel wipes
    • (Reg $2.99 - Clearance $0.44
These are just to name a few. These were a few of the best! Keeping up with my excel worksheet, so far this year, my savings are $524!
