I got one of the Victorias secret bronzers that was $24 for $6 cause of there repackaging sale.
MAC F&F sale.
And Bath and Body candle reg 17.00 for 4.25. I got 2 along with some other things.
hIYA i dont know if i would say a bargain but i got the urban decay book of shadows which is not available in the uk shops anymore online only for £22!! so im over the moon but my bargain spend not long ago was makeup from elf cosmetics online which is there allover foundation stick (£1.50 ) and concealer which i love love also £1.50 and it works well !XX
also can someone tell me why in the uk mac doesnt have a friends and family sale :((
I wish I knew why there’s never anything like this in Europe and why the best we can have is free shipping.
I’m in the Netherlands and we can’t even order MAC online. We don’t have B2M either 🙁
MAC Glimmershimmer, Claire De Lune Eyeshadow from Moonbathe and Freshwater eyeshadow for about AED 105, which works out to about $28.60 from a local equivalent of ebay. Needless to say, I was thrilled to pieces!
I just bought UD Get Baked Eye Kit for less than 20€(about 26$ and 15£). I’m so happy, I thought I would never find it online!!
i bought duwop lip venom venom flash for 348php (around $7) it was on a clearance sale! 🙂
I got the Stila Charmed quad for 10!
I also picked up MAC Shimmermint ss, Sea Nymph e/s from the lure collection, Sunsational e/s, and Prose & Fancy e/s from an online seller for less than 25 inc. ship!
Um, a bunch of Shu Uemura samples? 😀 Their lipgloss (333s from the pink collection) is the same size as MAC Little Darlings, so I don’t need to buy that shade at all. I also grabbed MUFE diamond powder, Bobbi Brown gel liner from overseas, which were cheaper.
wow thats nice! haven’t been buying any make up. Any ebay seller you won’t mind recommend? I heard there are some fraud so i’m pretty scared hahaha
I’ve bought a few bargains lately including BNIB Mac MSF in Light Medium natural/shimmer for £11.50 on Ebay. 🙂 I also picked up two of the Dior designer palettes for the price of one, but that was only because I had enough points on my Boots advantage card to pay for the second one. 🙂 Plus a brand new Chanel glossimer in Venus for £14 on Ebay (again) which is about £4 less than shop price. 🙂
I got the Too Faced Naughty and Nice eye and lip palette for only $8 at TJ Maxx! They always have awesome beauty bargains. One time I got a $21 lip gloss for $4 and Urban Decay cream eye shadows for $2! Sometimes you have to dig around, but it’s worth it!
My drugstore had a huge BOGOF sale this past week so I got 2 Maybelline mascara’s, Nivea cleanser and toner and L’Oreal DermaGenesis eye and facecream for half price, which saved me about €50,- euros 🙂
This was back in September, but it has got to be THE best beauty bargain I had ever encountered.
At a MAC Warehouse Sale, I was able to pick up a package that included the loose sheer powder, a lipglass AND the 180 flat top kabuki (I’m quite sure there was another item in there, likely a lipstsick) all for $5 (Canadian dollars – plus no tax!).
Best of all, proceeds went to breast cancer research 🙂
Tina Marie. You got to go to the wearhourse sale? !?!?! SOOO jealous. I’ve been wanting to go to that forever.
I’ve been doing some shopping recently on AllCosmeticsWholesale.com & have scored some great items. Got my Smashbox blush for $9 & my Smashbox primer for $19. Then I got MAC Luminary lipgloss for $8, Pop Mode lipgloss for $8 & Flowersophy lipgloss for $9. This was my recent haul but in past months I have scored some amazing MAC LE items for incredible prices from this site. Makes a makeup addict quite happy i must say 🙂
I love that site, too! I check it everyday for new additions!
I got a Victoria Jackson eyeshadow palette and lip gloss collection for $20, despite its $68 value. Lovely!
I got some MAC shadows and paint pots for $9 each. Also Fix+ for $10 and the 182 brush for cheap. Really excited about being able to try these new things!
That’s so awesome!!! Good for you!! That is a real steal!!
I went into The Body Shop today and they’re having a sale! Some gorgeouse eyeshadows reduced and I got a glitter eyeliner for just £2.50!
A friend bought for me in an Outlet two Starflash eyeshadows for….. 3 euros each!!!!
My last beauty bargain was when the make up store I go to had a whole bunch of Vincent Longo make up dirt cheap – $5 for lip gloss and lip stick , $3 for lip and eye pencils… I stocked up for my make up kit!!! It was awesome considering these items usually go for around 20 bucks each!! Score!! I was soo happy!!!
I picked up a Nars eyeshadow duo in Arctic for $8, lip lacquer in Capucine for $6 and Ojon Try Me Hair Ritual kit for $12 @ C.O. Bigelow and 2 For Heavens Sake shower oils @ B&BW for $3.75 a piece this past weekend. Yesterday, I picked up a Jonathan Proudct shampoo and conditioner for $14 (these would have been close to $60 if I paid regular price). I’m hoping I can find some more great deals this weekend:-)
I got my first MSFN (Med Deep) off of ebay for 7.50 shipped. That has been the best deal on m/u that I have gotten so far! :0)
the shadowly lady quad from my cco, which everyone knows is cheaper than MAC retail prices. love all the colors in it and that’s what makes the real deal…4 great shadows for $24.99
I bought the Perfect Style brush kit(187,168,222,266 and a cute case) at the CCO for $89.50 (retails for $125.00). With that purchase my brush collection is now complete!
I got Stila’s Marrakesh palette on ebay for $12.50 plus free shipping it retails on stila.com and sephora.com for $38.
Went to a private sale of MAC, Estee Lauder, Clinique, Bobbi Brown, Origins, DKNY Fragrances. Bought $200 worth of items for a little less than $100 (converted to USD) 😀 Never bought so much MAC at one time
