  • Lipstick

    Y'all know I love a good sale.  Combine a good sale with a coupon and we're getting somewhere!  Someone asked me today what kind of makeup/foundation I wear.  My reply, "Whatever I have a coupon for and can find on sale."  Coupons and sales get me over brand loyalty, quickly. 

    Every now and then (hardly ever), I'll try a product that just captures my heart and can't be replaced.  Like the Burt's Bees Baby Lotion.  Another one of those products is Color Stay lipstick.  The whole reason I love it ...  Are you ready for it?...

    I can kiss my baby and lipstick doesn't get on his face.

    That's it.  In a nutshell.  I've tried to break my Color Stay addiction.  Really, I have. 

    I have plain old lipstick.  And I always think, surely I can wear regular lipstick.  After all, it's so much cheaper.  I put on the lipstick.  Love the color.  A little later, I find myself baby kissing.  What's that on his face?  Oh. Lipstick.

    I hate that!  Don't go leaving lips on my babies, 'kay? 

    Frugal or not, Color Stay is what works for me!

    So, here's what I do - I don't care if its Revlon, Maybelline or Cover Girl.  I've used all their long lasting color lipstick and they're all great.  I watch closely for sales.  I guard my coupons and when the moment's right - I buy my lipstick!  I can't live without it, so, I find creative ways to get it for less!

    Something you've been wanting or just can't do without?  Find a way to get it cheaper!  You don't have to deprive yourself.  Just be creative and find a way to get it for less!
