Last Blog

Hey everyone,

As you can see, this is my last blog. I set out on this adventure thinking I could show others how to coupon for makeup, but I think its not as interesting to others as it is to me. This has been a fun journey and I got my feet wet a little in the blogging world. I greatly appreciate my two followers, one in which is my boyfriend who I am forever indebted to. My journey couponing for makeup is ongoing. I mean who doesn't like to save money and get lots and lots of makeup for half of the retail price. I really hope you all have learned a tip or two to help you shop for makeup economically. I love looking my absolute best and it feels even greater when I can save a few coins from handy dandy coupons! Thanks everyone and be sure to clip those coupons!!!!

love,

diva

Ulta's beauty deals!!!`

Hiiiiiiii everyone,

I really hope that you all have your running shoes on and your coins ready!!! Ulta has their $3.50 off coupon again and we all know deals are so much sweeter when this coupon is available. When I see this coupon I just get to snapping my fingers and screaming "Yasssssssssssss Yassssssssss Yassssssssss!!!! In addition to this coupon, starting 8/10 Ulta will have a bogo sale on cosmetic products such as Maybelline, Revlon, Almay, and L'Oreal. This is a great time for those starting to build their makeup kits, aspiring makeup artists, or those who just want to replenish their kits. There are lots of coupons for us to use with these amazing deals. On coupons.com, there is a $2.00 off any revlon eye product. I can think about 100 ways I can mix and match these coupons to score some incredible deals. Coupon.com allows you to print this coupon twice, but two is more than enough!

For all you makeup lovers, in 8/10 inserts found in your Sunday's newspaper MOST areas will get a $4.00 Almay product, 2 Rimmel coupons, and 1 L'Oreal extraordinaire colour rich product. Are y'all as excited as I am??? Those L'oreal extraordinaire lippies are amazing! This was a ""Diva Approved" product because of the many pros with this lipstick. I posted a snippet of my initial thoughts a few posts back so be sure to check it out.

Tips to coupon for makeup: 1.) Be sure to subscribe to Ulta's mailing and email list. They have so many great deals that are exclusively offered to shoppers subscribed to their email/mail list.

2.) Be sure to buy one or two newspapers per week and clip those cosmetic coupons. They will come in handy. Trust me.

3.) Subscribe to youtube channel and my blog for weekly updates on beauty deals.

Thank you everyone and my blog views is almost at 1,000. This is truly a milestone- so thanks Glamorous viewers.

My Favorite Online Beauty Companies

Hi everyone,

Welcome back to Makeup Connect with Diva...Dominique!!!

I wanted to come to you all today with my favorite, absolute favorite online companies to shop. In fact, these two companies is where I started to buy my 120 palettes and because I just love makeup sales, I would often times take advantage of their bundle deals. BH Cosmetics and Coastal Scents are without a doubt two great companies for makeup lovers on all levels. I love the quality, affordability, and the overall pigmentation of their colors. I know many of you are familiar with Coastal Scents hot pots. Those things are God's gift to makeup lovers literary. They run a .99 sale on them seldomly and this is the time to take advantage, FULL advantage. I can't get enough of Coastal Scents hot pots. I love their sleek packaging design and I don't know where anyone can find a 252 color palette mixed with shimmer, metallic, and mattes for under $19.99. This has to be one of their most popular palette as it has a wide range of colors that can be used to create any look imaginable. They also feature really great bundle deals that would be ideal for an aspiring makeup lover who lovesssssssss COLOR!!!

BH Cosmetics is very similar to Coastal Scents. I love their 120 palettes especially the 1st and 2nd edition. The color pigmentation and the variety of deep blues, purples, and pink will just have you mesmerized honey. In fact, I have purchased many of their bundle deals that even a seasoned makeup artist can't resist. I highly recommend these companies especially if you are on a budget. Now, let me say y'all that I would never recommend products I myself don't use. I started out with these two companies, drugstore brands, and elf cosmetics. A year later I am still using these products and I will continue to use them. I find that in some cases, its not always about the product, but the skills of the individual. Sometimes you have to develop a clever idea to mix and match products to arrive to that flawless finish.

Building your Makeup Kit effectively with Coupon/s

Heyyyyyyy everyone,

I am so proud to announce that I have a new Youtube channel which is Dominique Watson and I will do weekly videos showing you how to coupon for makeup at different drugstores, Ulta, Target, and Walmart. Next week, I am going to do record in the actual store showing you live how I coupon for makeup. So let's get into this week's beauty deal.

CVS is offering a $4 OFF $12 coupon for cosmetics. This is an awesome score and did you know that you can use your manufacturer coupons too. This is an even greater savings in addition to the other makeup sales they having going on. This week 8/3-8/9 they have all Revlon and Maybelline cosmetics buy one get one 50% off. Need a coupon?

http://www.coupons.com/coupons/Personal-Care-Coupons-101/

You are able to print this coupon two times per computer! This would be a good time to get items for your personal/traveling kit. I usually take advantage of bogo deals especially when I have coupons on hand. Why? Because I get double the product for less. Yassssss honey!!!!

Did you all know that MUA Makeup Academy is now in CVS?! Be sure to check your local CVS and please note that not all CVS's carry this line as of yet. Currently, their products are 25% off which is a good deal I would say and you can use the CVS $4 off $12 store coupon.


Let's see.... Almay has a deal going too where if you buy $10.00 in product you will receive $3.00 back. You can use this extra care buck (ECB) on other items, preferably makeup!!!

Physicians Formula is here y'all!!!! I have heard so many great things about this line, but has yet to try it because its a little on the costly side! But wait?? Is there a coupon for this? This week at CVS they are offering an even better deal. If you purchase $15.00 in product you will receive a $7.00 ECB! I can think of a few new makeup items that I can buy with $7.00 and use coupons on top of them.

Be sure to browse coupons.com frequently to print cosmetic coupons. Perhaps there may or may not be a sale, but as usual different drugstores run deals advertised and unadvertised all the time.

I really hope you all enjoyed this week's beauty deal and check out my Youtube channel: Dominique Watson and follow me on Instagram makeupdiva901_ as I post deals, hauls, and other beauty related posts!


Stay Glam,
