March Freebies!

The dermatologist always gives out samples, so I got these new Aveeno daily moisturizers!

I received the Dessange Paris hair care from Influenster for complimentary testing purposes! Read my review of them here.
For completing surveys from the Dean's List Vox Box in September 2014, my free Influenster mug came!

With the purchase of a medium iced coffee at Dunkin' Donuts, I got this reusable 99-cent refill cup. The value of the cup is $12.99 and with a registered Dunkin Perks card, you get this cup filled for only 99-cents! Totally awesome.
Redeemed a large iced coffee that I received as a Dunkin' perk!

These adorable cat earrings were free from Jackson Galaxy's website - just had to pay $4.95 for shipping. They are a $14.95 value. The deal is no longer valid, but you can buy them here!

I always get Bath and Body Works coupons in the mail. I got one for a free travel size item, so I picked up the Cool Amazon Rain body spray.
I was so excited to finally find the Olay Fresh Outlasts Cooling White Strawberry & Mint! I tried it in a PinchMe box and have been looking for it for months. It retails for $4.97 and I had a $5 off Olay coupon - so it was completely free!

I've been taking surveys on epollsurveys.com since the summer and have been saving my points! I finally redeemed the points for a $20 Starbucks card! So totally awesome!

In my March Julep box, I got the Julep Oxygen Performance Top Coat for free! It is my new go to top coat. It helps preserve the polish and makes it look super shiny!
Last but not least is my Walmart Beauty Box for Spring 2015! It is free with $5 shipping. It comes with lots of fun samples that are new for the season. They are sent quarterly/every 90 days!

March Deals

The next best thing to freebies are good deals. And this month, I got two great deals at CVS!

In the beginning of March I had a whole bunch of coupons for CVS.
Milani Lip gloss retail $5.99
Almay Lip Butter each retail $7.49.
I had two $3 manufacturer coupons for Almay products, a $6 extrabucks for CVS, a CVS $2 off $10 cosmetic coupon and a 20% off your purchase coupon. So I paid...
.79 cents for each Almay lipstick and $2.27 for the gloss. I saved $17.52 or 81%!


Later in the month, I was at CVS again. Rimmel was having a buy one get one 50% off sale. The Rimmel Stay Matte Powder retails for $6.29 and with the 50% off, the polish was $1.59. I had $8 of CVS rewards/coupons and $1 Rimmel Manufacturer coupon. So I paid an astonishing 0.27 cents ONLY IN TAX for both products, total! I saved $10.73 or 100%!

Total cost of products before discount: $30.45
What I paid: $4.12
Total savings of this post: $28.25

Dessange Vox Box


In my latest Influenster Vox Box, I received a trio of hair care products. The Dessange Paris Replenshing Shampoo, Replenishing Conditioner and the Replenishing Oil. These products are meant for people with overprocessed and damaged hair. Now, I wouldn't say my hair 100% falls into these categories, but I do get it colored with highlights, use a hairdryer and straightening and also have dryer hair in the winter.

This trio contains three precious oils - argan, camellia and pracaxi. These Salon Exclusive Techniques are made in Spain. 

After I use the system, my hair feels refreshed and soft. It also looks shiny and healthy with use overtime.

The little quote on the box says, "In 1954, Jacques Dessange opened his first salon in Paris on the prestigious Champs-Elysees. By then, he was alreayd the favorite hairdresser of many French actresses. A few years later, he became the official hair dresser of the Cannes Film Festival. He created legendary professional techniques such as the "California BLonde" and the "Coiffe-Decoiffe" - now established worldwide."

And now you can get a salon was and condition at home! They can be purchased at Target.

Influenster sent me these products complimentary, for testing purposes.
