Hello? It's me I was wondering if after all these weeks you'd like to read and go over everything... I BOUGHT ON BLACK FRIDAY, THAT I DIDN'T NEED.

What's good it's been a while, I just been busy with very little to give. You know?

Soooooooooooooooo Black Friday and Cyber Monday! The most wonderful time of the year, I know they say it's Christmas but nah.

Black Friday the magical day after stuffing your face with turkey and giving thanks for errythang. You prep, you plan, you pray the direct deposit hits your bank account and you head out with family & friends to get all the great steals.

Possibly fight with a complete stranger over the last flatscreen or jacket. Maybe a brisk trample sessh to get into the store first.

It's absolutely magical! AND because it's so amazing thats exactly why I stay home. I'm just not worthy, you now what I'm saying?

I stay home in my bed comfy loading my basket with the same products that have been having fluctuating discount prices for days and I paypal them bad boys.

Personally I feel like the deals aren't that great especially on electronics but I am most certainly here for these makeup and clothing store discounts. Did you say 30% and up off everything? Here's my Paypal, have your way.

With all the differing specials and discounts I took the opportunity to purchase things I was interested in but not enough to pay full price and used my plug(connect) to get a few straight up wants.

See below

First the wants: Thanks to my connect(ME) I got some well needed perfume sets at half price during a Christmas sale.

I love soft floral perfume scents so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get Marc Jacobs' "Daisy" and Jimmy Choo's "Illicit Flower" at basically $50 a pop(thanks mom), the free gifts didn't hurt either. I got the big bottles too, yep! Sure did.

I'm out here smelling glorious now.

NOW THE THINGS I COPPED BLACK FRIDAY CYBER MONDAY ( As usual the pics are direct links, just click)

Left to Right: Perfecting Eye Brush, Stippling Brush, Sponge Applicator, Fan Brush and Sheer Finish Kabuki Brush.

EcoTools makeup brushes, for black Friday the company had a 40% off sale. I've purchased their brushes before but one can never have too many makeup brushes so I decided to replace some of my oldies and try out a few new things. The fan brush is everything and by far my favorite thing out of the entire purchase (love fan brushes for highlighting)

EcoTools makes sustainable environmentally friendly products that go beyond just makeup brushes. My entire bill totaled $25, you can get Ecotools at drugstores and on amazon in addition to their website. I also picked up some moisture socks, shower gloves and a complexion sponge (pictured below)

Next I got the Anastasia Beverly Hills Creme Contour Palette in Deep. Typically I use the NYX creme contour kit in deep/dark BUT it's just about finished so I wanted to try something new. I've used it a few times and I prefer the NYX palette (I may just need some more time to play with it). Anastasia also had a 40% off sale, this kit retails for $40. You can see it below watched with and without flash.

This wasn't really a Black Friday steal but I was curious about the fake Artis brushes(the makeup brushes that look like toothbrushes) so I bought a set on Amazon along with an acrylic makeup organizer. The organizer was $26 and the brushes $15 (no longer available)

If you have a lot of makeup products acrylic organizers are a good way to keep organized. I'd suggest paying attention to measurements to ensure it'll fit your space and be large enough to hold the products your buying it for. This organizer holds more and is larger than my first one, which I purchased for about the same price. The picture will take you to the amazon page for this exact organizer.

Note: there are nifty ways to store makeup using containers you get from regular everyday purchases (don't feel compelled to get an organizer).

The brushes are ok, they're supposed to give you a flawless look. Thus far I have used the large ones for foundation application and it's smooth with no streaks but I think it soaks up quite a bit of the product. They're a tad bit annoying to clean but in time I'll get used to them. I guess?

I got in on a little Mac action, they had one of their first ever sales(so I was told) I've wanted Gold Deposit for a minute so I secured that along with a loose pigment from Little Mac in the color 'Rose' an this amazing Lippie in the color 'On and On' (a frost purple with blue pearl). I absolutely loved all of these cops and I got them at 40% off. My bill came to about $33

I cleaned up y'all. CLEANED UP!

But wait there's more!

BOOHOO HOO... this has to be one of my favorite stores ever! When I can afford it. (I already told you guys I'm broke)

So Boohoo blessed the public with 60% off on Black Friday/Cyber Monday. YES 60% OFF! I had been watching these items for a minute.

God was like "Girl it's time"

I was like "Aight Bet, say no more"

That champagne duster is life and those boots are everything I love everything about them.

What about the dresses? Wellllllllllll they don't fit. Womp womp. Here's why Boohoo is a UK company and they have size conversions. However, I know I wear one to two sizes down even when converted but in my excitement I ordered my exact size which means I ordered my dresses two sizes too big.

Let's take a moment

Makes no sense to return them I'll no longer get the deal and the discount was so large shipping would be half the cost of one dress. What did we learn today? DON'T GET TOO EXCITED IN THE PURCHASING PROCESS. I should have a giveaway or something ...

The Final purchase again at 40% off this set retails for $40. I got the Beauty Blender kit consisting of too regular sized blenders, a mini and a large solid soap. Along with a Blotterazzi which is a reusable makeup blotter as a free gift. This is my first beauty blender, I'm still getting used to it because I have had numerous dupes which have very different densities. The soap has a pleasant smell and cleans well. Also they've just dropped a new BeautyBlender color in Taupe it's super cute. One Beauty Blender is $20(THE KIT IS WORTH IT)

Some looks using the Beauty Blender, makeup brushes, Gold Deposit by Mac, and Contour kit by Anastasia Beverly Hills mentioned in this post along wth other products.
