PF makeup was on sale at CVS for $7 off each item's retail price. Now CVS runs $7 ECB sales on PF fairly often, around once to twice a month sometimes, but with THIS sale, it is an immediate discount so you don't pay the tax on the seven dollars. There's also no limit to how many times you can apply the discount, and you don't have to spend $10 to get 7ECB. With that system you spend AT LEAST $3.80(including tax) if you manage to find something $10 exactly, which is never. (I don't know if $9.99 products count). I'm kind of kicking myself for falling for the 40% off sale a few weeks ago, because face it, as long as the products' retail price is around or under $14, which all of my purchases were, that's savings of AT LEAST 50%.
So yay! I admit I went a little crazy. I've also only gotten to try only one product so far (the concealer 101 in green/light), but I think a good portion of these will end up in my 'back up stash' which is where I store excess unopened cosmetics that mostly get gifted away- so maybe it isn't THAT bad? Haha, no it is that bad, oh well. I feel only a little regretful because in my excitement, I settled for quantity and not necessarily quality. CVS has a great return policy though, so as long as I keep the receipt (which I'm bad at doing, but getting better!) and the packaging, I can return the product within 3 months (around that...) if I end up not liking it, even if it's been used. I think this is a great way to try out new PF products on the cheap (relatively cheap....). =). Also lets the impulse buyer in me run wild, and then read reviews after. Will I go back for quality products then? Probably not- my wallet is crying already.
Sorry for the rambling.
Considering savings, I'm going to consider this an EPIC haul. At least for me. =)
Now- handmade excel sheet:
Then again with these prices, perhaps I can be greedy and keep all of it for myself. I look forward to the makeup.
