Sephora
First, Sephora always gives you a little birthday treat, so I picked up something I've been dying to try anyways. I got the Anastasia Brown Wiz in Caramel. My treat was this Benefit sample pack. Super happy with this one. I am extremely excited about this brow pencil. It is raved about amongst every beauty guru and makeup artist on YouTube and for good reason. It's dual ended, with a twistable tiny pencil point at one end and a spooly on the other end to blend out the pencil marks. A lady working at Sephora helped me pick this color and I think it really is the best fit. It's darker than the MAC eyeshadow I was using but it still matches the red in my hair.
I also stopped in Sephora today because it was right next to Vera Bradley, and look what I found!! Y'all have no idea how happy this made me. Zoe from Zoella on YouTube always talks about this product and America has never had this scent available. Not even online! But today, Sephora had the whole range of products in this scent as well as some other new products. Keep those eyes peeled for a post on just body scrubs.
Victoria's Secret
American Eagle
American Eagle gave me a coupon code for 15% off via text and I used it twice. I got some basic tanks and undergarments, plus this skirt that will look really cute with tights and boots. My favorite combination.
Vera Bradley
I got a card from Vera Bradley for 40% off any one item!! Talk about a good deal.. I literally could not pass this one up. Especially since I realized everything I use for traveling, is from Vera Bradley. I decided to get the large duffel bag. It's usually $85 and I got it for only $50! The small duffel bag would've been $40 with the coupon, so for ten more dollars, I think I got the better deal. Plus, I don't own a large duffel! The absolute best part about my purchase? I scored a free gift with purchase. I got the wedge cosmetic bag in the same pattern, which is part of their new fall 2013 collection. I walked out with the biggest smile on my face, I couldn't believe this deal!
Nordstrom
Unrelated to a birthday coupon, I received a $20 Nordstrom note in the mail the same day as the rest of the coupons. I used it towards my Laura Mercier purchase. Check out my mini haul here.
Anthropologie
One store's coupon I always look forward to the most is Anthropologie's 15% off birthday coupon. This year, I got myself two new candles from my absolute favorite line. I got their newest scents, Pumpkin Soufflé and Oatmeal Cookie. These smell amazing and are perfect for the fall! I would have purchased these anyways, but I'm glad I had the coupon!
I made a second visit to Anthropologie this past weekend and it happened to be "Anthro Day" which meant everything was 15% off. I went to pick up my brother and Grace's first year anniversary present and also got this belt from the sale. I have one that's more colorful, but this one will go with more things and can be adjusted for any dress because it ties in the back instead of having one button. These are perfect for me because a lot of dresses look way too big on me, so this defines my waist and adds a little flair to it. Finally, I got a little necklace that has a ladybug on it! I had to get it to match my favorite ring.
The Body Shop
The Body Shop gives $10 off your purchase during your birthday month. I got the full-size of this body wash that I had a sample of at the beginning of the summer when I purchased my loofah. I love this scent and it reminds me of when I first moved to Chicago. :) I also got a sample of a sugar scrub and their foot pumice scrub, which I can not wait to try.
I just love my birthday month & coupons! :)
Four more days until I turn 22!
