Ebates
If you are buying online during the holiday season or anytime for that matter, please take advantage of Ebates!!! I went to the Ebates website and downloaded something that added Ebates directly to my toolbar. Now whenever I go to a website that participates in the Ebates program, a small popup shows on the upper right hand of my screen that asks me if I want to activate Ebates. That way I never miss out on cash back. For instance, Sephora is offering 8% back now!!!
A couple of weeks ago, I got $13 back, and now I’ve got another almost $10 coming my way, and I’m not even a big shopper! If you do decide to try Ebates (there’s no downside that I’ve found), I’d be grateful if you’d use my referral code that’s in the sidebar or this one if it’s easier:

Holiday Sale Info
There are so many different sales going on everywhere, that it’s too much for me to list them all. Just assume that every brand and company has some sort of sale going on during this week, on Black Friday, through the weekend, and on Cyber Monday. Don’t pay full price for anything…unless it’s some limited edition that you’re afraid of losing out on!
Here are a few I’d like to mention specifically, usually brands I really like and use plus some others that are popular in no particular order (I wasn’t in an alphabetizing mood today, sorry):

StriVectin Giveaway Winner
Congratulations again to Debbie Y, the winner of the StriVectin Advanced Retinol Pore Refiner! Yay! It’s a great product to help get skin in tiptop holiday shape!
Thank you to all who participated, tweeted, followed, subscribed, and commented. I truly appreciate your support for my blog! Stay tuned for the next giveaway coming soon!
So many good deals! Especially from Zoya. I’m also impressed by theBalm’s sale! I’ve always said I wish I could save up all of my spending money for the holiday season. The sales can’t be beat!
Sammi the Beauty Buff recently posted…Black Friday Picks 2015
It’s really true. I’m almost overwhelmed by it all! I’m deciding whether to pick up one of theBalm’s Matte palettes or Mary Lou Manzer.
I’ve gotta start figuring out if I’m taking advantage of any black friday sales! I’m trying to not buy a lot right now, but it’s hard to resist! I need to remember ebates for my online shopping, I tend to forget about it!

Adding the Ebates widget to your toolbar makes it so easy. It just comes up on its own and its unobtrusive so if you’re just browsing, you just ignore it. So worth adding. I’m the same as you. I don’t really want to spend much money. I may go for the IT brushes for $10 at Ulta for myself and a small gift. And of course, there’s other stuff I’d love but don’t need at all. Not many of my giftees are makeup lovers 🙁
There are so many amazing sales this weekend!

Nidia – Lit From Within recently posted…Greyscale Nails
Good one, isn’t it!
Ebates is awesome. My last check was more than $40, and the one before that more than $100 dollars. I got over $300 back from last year’s Christmas shopping. Lots of times they’ll double the percentage you get back, too.
Wow, you win Ebates, Rachel! I’m still a newbie at it. Thanks for letting me know about the double percentages, cool. Happy Thanksgiving to you!
Holiday time is the perfect ebates time. I am really good now about remembering to use them since I’d kick myself whenever I forgot. I have a link too in my tool bar.

Hahaha, I feel the same way!
What a comprehensive list! I’m on a makeup shopping ban till the Boxing Day sales (overindulgence in Advent Calendars is the reason) but may buy some books as prezzies tomorrow.

I don’t know if I like this post or not lol, it’s amazing that there are so many great deals but do I REALLY need more makeup is the real question lmao! I’ll probably get a few things from Colourpop. I love their lip stains.
Thanks for sharing!

It’s true, Sharon. In truth, I won’t be buying much, but I do have my eye on those 3 IT Brushes for $10 at Ulta for my self and for Jeff’s daughter, maybe?
I love using ebates too! Ack I wish I had the day off today and tomorrow so I could shop all these amazing beauty deals from home!
Many go through the weekend lol!
Too many sales, too little money! I need to go hide in a cave, somewhere… lol
Erika recently posted…A Girl’s Gotta Spa! A Planner’s Gotta Plan!

Awesome list of sales… thanks so much for sharing!
Every few minutes I think of more sales to add. But I’m trying not to shop 😉
Great post! I am now heading to theBalm.com 🙂 You can’t beat 50% off!
