snugglemintThis is the real first Black Friday that I've taken advantage of and it was pretty fun. ...If only because I partook virtually. I'm not going into those crazy crowds. No thanks.
I was... really greedy. Everything I got, I got for me. Heh. Some things I just wanted, some things I needed, some things I wanted to try.
I got a few good peppermint items. -Shimmies-
I ended up ordering from four different places... Hot Topic, Bath and Body Works, Urban Decay, and LUSH Cosmetics.
Hot Topic had a really awesome buy two get one free on accessories. So I got three purses. (One free.) And a tee to make it free shipping.
I got a retro Angry Beavers Messenger Bag. Anyone remember them? They weren't my favorite, but I still remember them fondly. - A Zombie Hello Kitty purse. YEAH. ZOMBIE! (And I sooooo didn't get them to go with my new watches -coughs-) And the last purse was a hobo purse with the Hogwarts crest on it. - The shirt was a Lotus Fairy print which I got because my favorite flower is the Lotus Blossom.
Bath and Body Works had a few good deals going on. Like buy so many get one free. Or by so many and they cost this much a piece. I've never really bought into the BBW thing, but I figured this was a good place to start. I got two candles half price, one Chocolate Mint and the other Twisted Peppermint. I got 6 3 oz bottles of lotion. Three were the aroma therapy kind, and a few lip glosses. (Most of them were Mentha, so they had mint in them XD)
I thought I was done at this point, but I checked around on some sites and Urban Decay was having a REALLY good sale.
A LOT of their glosses, shadows and pigments (which usually go for 18-20 dollars) were marked down to 6 dollars. I tried to talk myself out of it, and I did for several hours. But Urban Decay, especially lip gloss and shadow/pigments, those are pretty much a one time buy for me. So I figured I would just go ahead and bite the bullet, that way I don't have to worry about being tempted in the future.
I'm pretty excited about it. It's something I never would have bought full price no matter how much I like make up.
And Lush. You guys may not know Lush Cosmetics. Cosmetics makes it seem like make-up, but it's catered more to the soap/lotion/face cleanser type thing. Everything that they make is COMPLETELY organic. And a good bit of the product is actually Vegan. So that's really good.
I like it because I know that what I'm using isn't going to do backhanded damage to my hair.
Before I got some cleansers, a shampoo bar, massage bar, and a vegan conditioner. I found that I don't really like their soaps (though I did get one that's... yeah... peppermint.) And their massage bars are nice, but personally I just don't want to fool with them because they're a bit messy. They melt on contact.
The shampoo bar and the conditioner is what I loved most. A Shampoo bar is a solid shampoo and you wouldn't BELIEVE the lather that you get. You literally just get the bar wet, and then do about five passes of the bar on your head. My hair is near the middle of my back and that's enough for a really good lather.
So mostly what I got this time is a few different shampoo bars, a big thing of my conditioner, and then I decided to try a few other things. A hair treatment, a face cleanser, and some toner tabs. You get a big bowl of boiling water, throw these tabs in and let the steam work over your face.
I'm pretty excited.
What did you guys get? :D
