Fall/Winter Haul-Aeropostale

  Hi friends! Today I'd like to share a little haul for some shopping I did at Aeropostale. Initially, I'd say that I don't usually shop at this store (this purchase was made online) because this brand does target a much younger audience. I was in the market to find myself some nice sweat pants and I did (among other things)! I found that they were having a pretty darn good sale that I couldn't refuse (40% off first item, 30% on the other items). I first collected all the things that I was interested in, but quickly realized that it would actually be better to separate my order into four separate orders to take advantage of the 40% off the first item (the higher cost item was discounted). So, I did all my calculations and proceeded to find my account on Ebates to get 2.5% back on my purchase. I also found that the separate orders were a good idea because apart from getting that extra discount, I also qualified for 2-day free shipping when I paid through Paypal. I was also surprised to have received $5 back from Aeropostale for each order ($20 cash back in gift card from Aero ) that I can use for another order, basically another free item depending on what I choose. I think that the materials used and quality of the manufacturing is high quality. So, I'm glad I took advantage of this sale....spending always feels better when you know you saved!!

Also for some cash back on your online purchases check out Ebates.....they offer different percentages/cash back on all the purchases you make. It's free to create an account, and you just need remember to go through their site, which will redirect you to where you wan to shop. They create a tracking number and then a few months later you get a BIG FAT CHECK (that's what it says on the paper when you get it from Ebates). So, really this is free money....back on the money you're spending!! Feel free to use my link to take you there NOW :).....Ebates CLICK HERE

Purple Haze (Purple Gradient Eyeshadow)

Hi friends!
Today I recorded a purple gradient eye look that I had previously tried but initially didn't agree with the results. As for today, I'm pleased :)...surely with some practice anything can happen. Even though, I really do love and gravitate mostly to my neutrals, colorful shadows can be so pretty. I suppose that you might have to be somewhat of a makeup junkie like myself to understand that beautiful eye shadows simply make me happy! So, here's to stepping out of my comfort zone and making a brighter day! Hope you like this look; if you try it,please tag me-I'd love to see your work :D
