Side Rant: MyHabit Rebecca Minkoff Sale

Sale includes handbags, shoes, accessories and the RM Collection ends 4/5

So I have been obsessing over Rebecca Minkoff bags ever since I laid eyes on Swing, and I received a nice email today from MyHabit about a Rebecca Minkoff sale. If you aren't familiar with MyHabit, they are a sample sale site similar to Rue La La and Gilt, only difference is it is owned by Amazon and they have free shipping and returns (not to mention you can use your Amazon gift cards!). Saw some lovely MAC's and MAB's but nothing too exciting since I didn't particularly like the colors, but once I landed on the collection page, I was in awe. I saw the Allie bag and just went gaga for it, the structure and especially the colors (I love all three!). At the price, I really wanted to pull the trigger but I did not want to pay for it as I can redeem my points from various sites to get it for free (now I am shooting myself for not redeeming my points sooner!), the sale ends this Friday but I am going to try to see if they are sold out by then *crosses finger*.

Sephora Inside JcPenney Nars Makeup Event 4/6

I don't know about you guys but every since Sephora opened up inside more of JcPenney's I have gotten more excited. They host events at Sephora inside JcPenney locations only and I have scored some samples in the past, and looks like this weekend they are hosting another event. This one is from Nars, and you can get a free makeup application and free gift (although the email does not state, if you are already planning on heading to the mall, why not?). Please note that you have to be a Beauty Insider to receive these perks, but don't fret its free to sign up and you can get a nice freebie on your birthday!

H&M - Bring in New/Old Clothes for a 15% Discount

The madness has begun, back in December I mentioned that H&M was starting up a program where if you brought in your old clothes to be recycled you could receive 15% off 1 item. Here are some more details: you can bring in clothes of any brand, up to two shopping bags worth per day, you will get one 15% off discount voucher for each bag, all stores are participating. So not only can you do some good for the environment but you get a discount to fill in the empty space your old clothes took up.

The Body Shop $10 off $20 2/22 - 2/24

If you are a fan of The Body Shop, this is the weekend to spend some money there because they just released a $10 off $20 coupon on their Facebook page. This offer is valid this weekend from 2/22 - 2/24 and it is also redeemable online with code 10OFF (free shipping on orders $50 or more). Check out this gift set you can get for only $10, and it comes in other varities as well: mango, pink grapefruit, satsuma, coconut and shea.

American Eagle & Aerie Extra 40% Clearance + 15% Off & Free Shipping

Here is a triple threat deal coming at you from AE & Aerie, for Presidents Day they are offering free shipping on their site along with 25% off original priced items. However that is not the best deal, that lies in the clearance section where everything is 40% off (except a few brands) AND you can get an additional 15% off on top of that 40% off along with free shipping. Instead of 40% Aerie is offering 50% off select apparal (tops only) but sizes are limited as this is a great sale. Use code 27450901 at checkout and lets not forget to use those cash back sites to save some additional $$. Free shipping & 25% off is valid through tomorrow.

Here are some items that I thought were a great deal.

Piperlime 20% off entire site 2/14 Only

There have not been many posts lately since I started a new job along with an internship, however since today I have some spare time I thought I would post this vday gift from Piperlime. They are offering 20% off sitewide today using the code XOXO at checkout. Enjoy!

Sephora Skincare Events Jan 11-13 & Jan 18-20

I just got an email from Sephora notifying me of an upcoming in store event taking place on the weekends of Jan 11-13 and Jan 18-20. When Sephora previously had one of these events in September last year, I was able to go and along with my skincare consultation I was able to score a great swag bag including 7 deluxe samples of skincare products including Shiseido cleansing foam, Dr. Jart BB Beauty Balm and Philosophy Hope in a Jar (see image below). Seems like they are doing this again and with your consultation you can choose from a customized mask, oil, BB cream application or all three along with some skincare samples. If you are interested I would advise to call your local Sephora to see if they are participating first and then make an appointment since the samples are limited and from my experience and you are more likely to get the free samples if you make an appointment.

Samples they gave out at the last skincare event

1/8 Only Gap, Old Navy & Banana Republic 30% off & 20% at Piperlime

So it happens that I made an order yesterday at Old Navy the other day with the 25% off and now they have a 30% off discount for today only, well I got a 40% off at Banana Republic so I guess it evens out. What is funny is that I already received the shirt I ordered from Banana Republic today and it looks good, now I just have to try it on for size. As for the sale an even better deal is if you have a credit card with them since you can get 35% off and lets not forget about cashback sites like Big Crumbs where you can get about 2.8% back from your purchase. Use code 24HOURS at checkout and better hurry as this offer ends tonight at 11:59 EST.

I guess you cannot have all the brands on sale without Piperlime busting out with one of their own, take 20% off today only with the same code 24HOURS and they are also having their Lime Tag sale (aka their semi-annual sale) and you can use this code on top of the sale prices.

New Year, New Haul

So it is a new year, and after a week of not buying any clothing related items I gave in since Banana Republic was having an extra 40% off sale (ends today use code BRSALE40) and Old Navy was having an extra 25% off, thankfully I had a bunch of gift cards saved up from various apps (Viggle, Clutch, Gyft) that I was able to score all my items for $5 and some change. I really like the heart sweater (saw it on someone and sort of crazily knew it was Old Navy) and the other items helped build my order to over $50 so I could get free shipping (my order was over $50 prior to discount) but I would not mind keeping them as I said I only spent $5 and some change on all three items plus I got $1.28 back in cash back from Big Crumbs as well. If you were wondering about the apps I talked about or the cash back program Big Crumbs check out the articles I wrote below that describe them.
