Swatches - Revlon - Limited Edition Lip Glosses - Electric Chrome Amazing Spiderman 2 Collection

Hello, everyone!

Yesterday I put up a post about the Limited Edition display for the Electric Chrome Amazing Spiderman 2 collection.  In that display were three limited edition lip glosses.  Today I decided to pick all three of the lip glosses up.  The lip glosses have a lot of shimmer, so I am a little unsure of how often I will use them on the weekdays, but I bet I will have a lot of fun with them on the weekends.  Yes, even the blue one.

Please click through to see the swatches!

Texas Girls - HEB Deals

I'm bringing back an oldie but a goodie today.  Texas Girls - HEB Deals!!!  HEB is a grocery chain in Texas that has better deals then the drug store.  When I can, I try to purchase my beauty products from HEB since it will save me a few bucks.  HEB releases their new ads and coupons on Wednesdays, so I try to get as many of the beauty deals as I can and round them up here for you.

As a heads up, HEB no longer allows coupon stacking on 'B' coupons.  So what you see is what you get unfortunately.  With that information, always check if your deals are better at HEB then the coupon stacking that is allowed at CVS or Walgreens.

Texas Girls - HEB Deals - Essie Update

Last night, reader Krystl discovered a coupon at the HEB website for $2.00 off an Essie product.  Essie products retail for $7.75 at HEB.  Recently I have found coupons attached to the Essie displays for $2.00 off.  The coupons are for HEB only, but they say manufacturer coupons at the top.

While talking about the deal on Reddit, it was suggested that the coupons may be able to be used together.  Technically, the printed coupon is a 'B' coupon which normally stacks on to a manufacturers coupon.  We were curious if this would work, since they are both HEB Only coupons.

Today I tried it and, surprisingly, it worked for the two Essie polishes I purchased.  Now there is a bit of a catch to this.  I asked the cashier, a very nice gentleman who was very patient, to scan the coupons that I found in the store first.  Those came off without a problem like regular manufacturers coupons.  The first printed 'B' coupon worked without a problem, but the second one gave us some issues.  After two tries, the cashier simply overrode for the coupon.  The printed coupons do come up as 'Big Savings' coupons, but the in-store ones do not.  The point can be argued that they should stack.  It worked for me.  But like all coupon deals, your mileage may vary on how it works.  But give it a shot!  Essie products for $3.75 or $5.75 is better than the $8.00+ it retails for at other stores!

Update - Texas Girls - HEB Deals

Thank you so much, Krystl (a reader and fellow Random Acts of Polisher at Reddit), for sharing this link for a coupon at HEB that can be used on any Essie Nail Polish or Treatment!

$2 off Essie Product

They also have these coupons at the store.  I have seen them attached to the Essie displays at random so keep your eyes open for them.

Thanks again, Krystl!

Texas Girls - HEB Beauty Deals

I love saving money.  There are always great deals to help save on beauty products.  Girls in Texas have an extra place to look for deals at our local HEB!  For those outside of our "little" state, HEB is our local grocery store.  Their health and beauty selection has a pretty good range of products and their prices tend to be less expensive than Walgreens.  Wednesday is when HEB rolls out their weekly deals, so I will be keeping up with their new beauty sales each week in this "Texas Girls" section.

HEB has sales in a few different ways and I would like to go over them before I break down the deals.  First, HEB puts items on sale or mark down, these items will be tagged as a  yellow tag with a red header.  Most of the time these deals are only for a few cents, so be careful that it is something that is actually on a good sale.  Second, HEB will put items on Clearance and leave the items on the shelf.  These items are often tagged with a yellow tag with a purple header.  Most coupons work with clearance items.  A lot of beauty items get tagged with an orange price sticker and thrown in a box or on a shelf marked as Sale or Clearance, keep your eyes open for these.  Right now, my HEB has a whole endcap dedicated to clearance items that includes makeup and nail polish from OPI, Essie, Revlon, and L'Oreal.

HEB also accepts manufacturers coupons as well as their own in-store coupons.  There is a trick with coupons though that one has to be careful of here.  HEB has three different types of in-store coupons, they are all yellow (in October they are normally bright pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month).  On the bottom of the coupon there are the words "Good Only at HEB", then underneath that there is a code.  It will say either M, B, or S.  M stands for Manufactured Sponsored, B stands for Big Savings, and S for Store Sponsored.  I have not once seen an 'S' coupon.  What I want to talk about here are the M and B coupons. M coupons work like any manufacturer coupon that you would get in the mail or from a website.  You can not stack other manufacturer coupons with an M coupon.  B coupons, however, allow someone to stack a manufacturer coupon with a B coupon.  Most beauty coupons are "B" coupons.

For example, HEB has an in-store "B" coupon for $2.00 off Revlon. Nail, Eye, and Beauty Tools.  I have a coupon for $1.00 off any Revlon Color Product.  I want to purchase a bottle of nail polish for $3.97.  At the checkout after all my items are rung up, I hand the cashier my manufacturer coupon to scan, then my in-store "B" coupon to scan.  The total discount taken off for the product is $3.00, and I pay $0.97 + tax for my nail polish.

You can click here for the HEB coupon policy that explains this methodology.  Let me state again, most beauty coupons are "B" coupons, so you can get more savings!

Now onto this weeks HEB deals!

• $1.25 off any CoverGirl or Queen Cosmetic - "B" Coupon

Texas Girls - HEB Revlon Deal!

Hey everyone!

Another day has come and gone.  On Tuesdays I tend to hit my local HEB before the sales turn over on Wednesday.  I then tend to go on Wednesday to check the next weeks deals.  Luckily, I live right across the street from the HEB.

Anyway!  It is so hard to find the deals at HEB on beauty websites, since it is just a Texas thing but the deals are so great, I hate to not share them!

Revlon eyes, lips, and face products have an in-store "B" coupon for $3.00 off.  Revlon nail and tools have an in-store "B" coupon for $1.50 off.  If you're not familiar with the "B" coupon, it means that these coupons will stack with manufacturer coupons.  So you can use two coupons on one product.  In my shopping spree today, I purchased six products for a total of $22.46!

The eyeshadows are the Revlon Illuminance Creme Shadow.  The three I purchased are Wild Orchids, Copper Canyon, and Not Just Nudes.  The lipstick is the Colorburst Lip Butter in Candy Apple.  The pencil is Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Sweetheart Valentine.  The nail polish is one of the new Revlon Magnetic polishes in Pop Star.  It is a shimmery blue, though not quite a dark blue as I have seen in other brands.

The eyeshadow palettes are normally $4.97.  The lip butter is normally $6.48 and the lip stain/balm is normally $7.48.  The nail polish is normally $9.97.

So go hit HEB if you have one near you and happy shopping!!!
