Deals Roundup

 Welcome!

If you have to buy it, get the best deal. A low price is not always a good deal, and a high price is not always a deal breaker. Some products are worth purchasing at full-price, some are worth purchasing on sale, and others are not worth purchasing at all. I share deals and reviews for all beauty products from low to high-end. Most reviews come from items I purchase myself. All beauty products sent for consideration get reviewed, and I will at times review other items. Reviews will always reflect my opinion, and I will not accept products unless this is understood.

Recent Articles

My blog is detailed so I put a lot of time and thought into each article in my attempt to answer questions I perceive will come before they’re even asked. Those who appreciate details will hopefully enjoy the content. People who prefer blogs where the pictures do most of the talking may not. No filtering or blurring effects are ever used so when a product highlights imperfections in my skin, you will see it. Photos are taken in natural light whenever possible to ensure products are true to color. Flashes generally alter the way the product looks in person, but there are times when the flash or lighting is necessary.

I never publish new articles more than twice a day, and there are days where I do not post anything. When there are a lot of deals coming out at once, I will pick the ones I like best to feature. Others may get posted, but I will post slower than bloggers who post more often or combine a lot of topics into one post. Thus, this should not be your only deal source. Deal lovers need options. During slower deal periods, I will focus on reviews. Many of my articles are set up at the beginning of the year and get edited as new information releases. Retailer pages are static so content across the site is constantly updated. Use the search bar or drop down menu in the right column for articles on a specific topic.

The Edit Section

To get deals up in a timely manner, I post an article on the deal first. Posting the deal and editing the review in later keeps all information for that deal in one article. That makes it easier for readers to reference later without pulling multiple articles. Having everything needed on a deal or event in a single place is also why I post up to a year of some offers in one article instead of creating a new article every time. After I receive and/or test product(s), I will edit the article to provide more details and any applicable pictures of me wearing color items. Articles linked below were recently edited.

The Sephora Favorites 2018 Sun Safety Kit arrived.

The Target Beauty Boxes ALL THE MASKS (Hello Radiance), (Hello) BeYOUtiful, and Wakeup to Makeup (Hello Gorgeous) arrived.

The Walgreens Beauty Enthusiasts GWP arrived.

Reviews

Deal or No Deal? Detailed reviews will always answer that question. In a thorough review, I can determine whether something is a deal or not. I will always mention when I receive something free, but getting something free will not affect my review. My in-depth reviews and retailer pages cover: program descriptions, offers, promo codes, looks, swatches, tips, deal breakdowns, hits, misses, and more. Deal discoveries and articles include reviews of all products I’ve tried unless I finish them quickly. If I finish something quickly, the review may only appear in Fabufinds or Finished Products articles. Everything I’ve tried gets reviewed so you will know whether I still like the “deal” once I’ve used the item. Type a product name, brand, or retailer into the search bar to see any place I’ve discussed it.

Free Samples

Some items are really available for no charge at all. I only list ones I’ve tested and/or received. If I am unsure an offer is legit, I will not list it. My Free Samples page always has a general listing of sites.

Sweepstakes and Giveaways

If you’re feeling lucky, enter a Sweepstakes or Giveaway.

Subscription Boxes

Subscription Boxes are a wonderful way to get great deals if you like trying new things, but you should avoid them if you already know exactly what you like. It’s only a good deal if you’re using the items. Find subscriptions that appeal to you.

Birthday Offers

From completely free items to special birthday gifts with purchase, a lot of retailers have birthday offers, so remember to give your birthdate when you register.

The Gift With Purchase Kings

Large offers from The Big Three are almost always available so I do not list small offers.

Clinique GWP, Estee Lauder GWP, and Lancome GWP

Getting The Best Deal

Generals tips on getting the best deal get edited when I discover something new. I also edit my detailed lists for specific retailers, including: Sephora, Ulta, Julep, Birchbox, Target, and Walmart. The idea is putting everything you need to know in one place so you know how to approach each purchase.

Get Paid to Shop Online

If you’re shopping online, participating in multiple Pay-to-Shop Programs can help maximize your deal by giving you access to more: discount codes, retailers, percentages of cash back, bonus offers, and more.

ebates, MrRebates, MyPoints, ShopatHome, Swagbucks, and TopCashback

Happy Shopping

Expired offers get removed when I update. Remember to try any offer not yet updated, because some offers get extended or recycled. If I am missing any great offers, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

Recent Standout Offers

Only recent offers are below. The individual deal pages (linked in the right column) include: these offers, older offers, ongoing promotions, recycling promotions, program descriptions, important tips, free shipping minimums, sample offers, historical promotion data, links to articles I’ve written, and more. You can also look for deals and articles for a specific brand or retailer using the search bar. Pages get updated by reader demand so popular retailers are more up to date.
