OPI Nail Polish for 1/2 the price

In the mist of browsing through the mall for a suit that would fit my petite and short frame, I passed by a Jcpenny Salon.  Interested in some Paul Mitchell hair products that caught my eye from outside the store window, I walked in to take a look. The sales associate approached me and notified me that they had various sales going on including OPI nail polishes buy one get one 50% off.

Although this was not what I was originally going in for, OPI happens to be my favorite nail polish brand so I was THRILLED. The durability the polish holds, gorgeous colors, and smooth brush application makes me the ultimate OPI fanatic. These polishes can run up to $9.00 per polish. Jcpenny Salon however was offering a basket of colors for $4.25 a piece for last seasons colors plus buy one get one 50% off for the new "Tour America" line. On a budget for my suit, I decided I would choose two colors that would work for me and ended up spending $8.50 total on two new fabulous colors to add to my collection.

  Pictured below: "Rumpless Wiggin' " (Ivory) and "Hot & Spicy" (Coral Orange).

BARGAIN TIP OF THE DAY: Check out your local Jcpenny Salon store for OPI sales!

Shady Lady Bargain Find

Shady Lady-Known for their fun color palettes, unique shadow names, pinup styled packaging and high end prices.


While I love buying good makeup, I am hesitant to dish out loads of money on makeup that will eventually run out. Luckily, my shopping trip this week led me to my ultimate bargain find of the month. Shady Lady's makeup artist favorite "The Balm Vol. 3" eyeshadow palette full priced at $39.50 on thebalm.com , was only $4.50 on the clearance rack at T.j. Maxx! Don't believe me? See it for yourself:

The 9 colors included in this palette are: 

Lusty Lee (silver shimmer), Envious Erin (pearl shimmer), Racy Kacy (rusty shimmer), Safe Bet Annette (soft pink shimmer), Runaround Rebecca (sage), Come-Hither Heather (soft taupe), Open To Offers Olwen (teal), All The Way Annie (shimmering deep maroon), and Guilty Gwen (black sparkle).


The combination of colors are just fab. While some are neutral, others hold funk and style. This palette can be used for both day and night application which not all palettes have...this makes me even more thrilled about my bargain find! So ladies, if you love Shady Lady be sure to snoop your local T.j. Maxx and see what you find!

My Chic & Cheap Interview Outfit

As a recent graduate, I have been looking for a variety of affordable chic outfits to have for job interviews. Being the fashionista that I am, it was important to me that my outfit choices were not only tasteful, but also appropriate. I decided to browse Forever21 to see what I could put together with a budget of $40.00. After some serious searching I found a chic vintage inspired brown belted skirt and a sheer yellow button up top for only $19.80 each! I walked out of Forever21 with only $39.60 spent...with a pair of savvy heels left to find! My final budget was $70 total, so I decided to head to the Macy's shoe SALE and do some browsing around. As I was about to give up hope, a pair of nude heels caught the corner of my eye. Luckily, they were just my size and with 30% off of $44.50, I walked away with a pair of "Fergie" bargain priced nude heels for only $31.15! 

 

My bargain interview bargain find has not only left me pleased with my money-well spent, but also excited to wear my ensemble to my next interview! I managed to stay within my $70 budget and spent $70.75 total on some pretty fabulous pieces!
