Cheap Revelon Cosmetics @ CVS

Let me first say that I think my wife is beautiful the way she is.  But she is convinced that she needs make-up.  So I want to help her out any way I can while making sure we do not overspend on these products.  Anyone who has seen a receipt from a cosmetic purchase cringes a little inside (especially at a place like.  That is why I was happy to see the Magic Coupon Machine spit out $3 off any $10 cosmetic purchase.  Couple this with Extra Care Buck offer and coupons and you can get beauty products on the cheap.
Right now CVS has a $7 ECB offer when you spend $15 on Revelon costmetics.  Though the ad says 1 per household, CVS changed it to let 2 per household.  Next, scan your card at the MCM and look for the $3 off coupon.  Only have one?  Come back the next day and scan your card again (or go to a different CVS).  Why the next day?  This coupon is only good for 1 day, so be prepapred to shop.

Final point before I let you know how we did, make sure you sign-up for the Beauty Club.  It is a free club that ties to your CVS card.  For every $50 you spend you will receive $5 back in ECB.  Not a member?  You can sign-up at the register (plus you receive 10% off your first purchase!).

Transaction 1:
(1) Revlon StayColor Foundation $13.49
(1) Revlon Nail Polish $5.49
Total: $18.98 - (2) $2 off Revelon ColorStay product from Sunday paper earlier this month - $3 MCM coupon = $11.98 + $7 in ECB (Revelon Purchase) = Net Purchase $4.98
     [If you just signed up for Beauty Club your transaction would look like this:
     $18.98 - 10% = $17.08 - (2) $2 off Revelon ColorStay product from Sunday paper earlier this month -     $3 MCM coupon = $10.08 + $7 in ECB (Revelon Purchase)
Transaction 2:
(1) Revlon StayColor Foundation $13.49
Total: $13.49 - (1) $2 off Revelon ColorStay product from Sunday paper earlier this month - $3 MCM coupon = $8.49 + $7 in ECB (Revelon Purchase) = $1.49

Total OOP: $20.47.  Receive $14 in ECB for Revlon $30 in purchases.  Net Price for (2) bottles of foundation and (1) nail polish = $6.47

Remember, every $50 in beauty products you purchase, you will get $5 back.  These two transactions amount tov$32.47.  So if you are already a member, this will help you inch closer to that $50 mark without spending a fortune.

Good luck.
