What I found for $40.00

It's been a while since we hit up one of my favorite swapmeets and since the future mother-in law wanted to see exactly what I was talking soo much about we decided to make a trip to Rodium open air swapmeet in Torrance.  I love this swapmeet and although my budget for spending was short I did manage to pick up some really great deals.  Rodium swapmeet is my favorite simply because you can find some really great deals for a fraction of the cost.  I picked up this adorable Charlotte Rousse t-shirt for $.7.00 with the tags attached retail you are looking at $18.99.  Not only do they sell alot of items from Charlotte Rousse they also sell tons of items from Forever 21 at a fraction of the cost as well. 


I am totally addicted to perfume if it smells wonderful and is at a reasonable price I'm hooked and must have.  I have a huge collection but that did not stop me from picking up this great smelling set cale Forever for $10.00 including sample perfume bottle, perfume bottle lotion and body wash in a great gift box.  They had so many different scents it was hard to decide all for $10.00 or less.

The best deal has in the whole entire swapmeet happens to be the makeup.  They have a ton of great deals I bought foundation from Loreal for $2.00 which runs at any local drug store for about $14.99 even on sale you can't find a price that low.  Lip glosses lip sticks eyeliners and eyeshadows all are normally $1.00 I bought a great color lipgloss for $1.00 I was hoping to find some blush but which thyey did have just not my shade.






Lastly I purchased earrings and hair accessories all for $1.00 each.  Normally each pair of earrings would cost around $3.80 at Forever 21 and the hair accessories would run about $4.80 each at Forever 21. In total it was a great day I found all these items for less then $30.00.  If you ever are in he city of Torrance and have a couple of hours to spare the Rodium Swapmeet is a must see.  That's all to report and Happy Bargain Shopping!

ELF Eye Lips Face Palet's $5.00

So I received some free products from E.L.F (thank you!). I was told to try them out and blog about what I liked about their products and most importantly keep the product yeah! Jazzed that I was chosen I decided to see exactly what E.L.F. was all about. I had never ever heard about E.L.F and did some research online and found that some items are sold at your local Target and majority of their sales are done on line. The great thing about E.L.F is first and foremost the cost the eye Palet's I received not only came with instructions on how to create certain looks with the Palet but are very reasonably priced at $5.00 per palet! The quality of the eyeshadow I would say is similar to MACS palets I would also put them with a close dupe to Urban Decay eye palets as well. The eyeshadows almost all had that sort of creamy soft texture which makes it simply put very easy to create different looks with each palet. I also loved that the eyemakeup last all day even after a 60 minute workout! I'm hooked! If you have a chance check out the website they have eyeshadows, lip gloss, mineral makeup as well as liquid, eyelashes all well priced and many for $1.00. Check out your local Target they are begining to carry this product and def check it out its worth the few bucks that you can save.

Finally some Retail Therapy

So I haven't had the chance to post any great deals or savings not that I haven't found any or haven't been looking fact of the matter is it's been a crazy couple of weeks and I didn't have the time to blog anything :(

I found some really great deals and I am going to share them with you now.
My first must see is a place call Falla's or Factory to You. If you haven't seen one of these around they aren't that hard to locate. There are several of these gem outlets all over California and at first I was a little skeptical about going in but I was pleasantly surprised. First off if your kid wears school uniforms and you haven't gotten around to looking for them this shoud be your first stop. Backpacks are $7.99 that's cheaper then Old Navy's price of $9.00. If you need school uniforms pants run from $7.99 to $9.99 shorts and skirts are at a very reasonable price of $4.99. Shirts are a whopping $1.99 and they are not wash one time and throw away they are of a very good quality of cotten. As far as purses and handbags they carry a wide variety of assortments all as far as I can see are name brand from House of Darrion to Love all $20.00 or less. I picked up a very cute tiger print oversized shirt to wear with leggings for $7.99. They also have perfume Lucky and Curve perfume was $6.99 for a package of two perfumes plus body wash and lotion! I picked up a grey sleevless cardigan $5.99 that will go very well wth leggings and or jeans and I picked up a green military style enspired type t-shirt that would go great with leggings or jeans $5.99. Only thing I do not like about the store is they do not have dressing rooms some do but the one in Westminister does not the location in Long Beach does. So if you have some free time check out their website find a location and Happy Bargan Shopping!
