HOT beauty deals (Annette's on fire again!)

How does free shipping for a year to many of your favorite websites sound? Or perhaps a LORAC Femme Fatale palette for $14? Or how about two bottles of my very favorite brush cleaner with free shipping for ten bucks (today only)?

Keep reading for all this and more in this Hot Deals round-up...

If you're a regular reader of this blog and you frequent the You Tell Me page (located on the top menu bar if you're new around here), then you know that there are some pretty fabulous deals posted by readers just about every single day. I created that page because I can't always do a blog post about everything that comes my way, but I never want you to miss anything, so that page is where you can share info immediately without having to go through me first. I highly advise checking it every time you visit my blog or you could miss something great.

If you're a long-time reader of the You Tell Me page, you know that sometimes reader Annette gets on a roll and posts several mind-blowing deals in a row all within the same day. When Annette's on fire, she's really on fire and today is one of those days!

From reader Annette:

 GNC is offering 25% off + free shipping (no minimum), today only (September 25th). Use code SEPT25.

*Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap is Buy 1 Get 1 50% off; you also get 25% off with the code. They sell 32 oz. (reg. $14.99, after coupon $8.43) and 16 oz. (reg. $8.99, after coupon $5.06). [This is my all-time favorite brush cleaner. I just used the Peppermint Liquid Soap to clean my brushes today! You can see my review here. -G]

*The checkout process is pretty weird.
- It didn't want to give me 1/2 off the 2nd bottle when I used a quantity of (2) of any single variety, but when I added (1) from different varieties it worked. Keep subtracting and adding until you get $10.11 for (2) 8 oz. bottles or $16.86 for (2) 16 oz. bottles.
- Once you get it to give you the discount off the second bottle, it will look like the math is wrong (after you enter the coupon code the 50% off is less than it should be). If you figure it out manually, the subtotal ends up being correct. Just make sure it comes out to what I mentioned above. (See below for the math.)

*You can sign up for a 15% email coupon, but you cannot stack them. You have to use either the 15% or the 25% code.

MATH:
$14.99 x 1.5 X .75 = $16.86/2 32 oz. bottles
$8.99 X 1.5 X .75 = $10.11/2 16 oz. bottles

Sally Beauty Supply - Through 9/30 you can get a free bottle of Seche Clear Basecoat when you buy a bottle of Seche Vite Topcoat. You need the coupon that's in the sale book (my store has some on a shelf). At least one store I visited today had a tag with this information in front of the products. The code is 444206 and can be seen on page 2 here

- $4 off $20 any facial skincare purchase. Exp 10/8/12
- $1.50 off Organix body wash or lotion. Exp 10/8/12 (Pure and simple skincare Simple skincare will be Buy 2 Get 1 Free during the week of 9/30; now through 9/29 Organix body lotion or body wash is $4.99 and you get back $1 Extrabucks - this is a month-long promotion which is why it's not in the ad and it has a limit of 4)
- $2 off Sally Complete Salon Manicure, Insta Dri, Diamond Strength
*I didn't scan my card yesterday or today, so if you already received these coupons from the red box, then you might not get these coupons online. Usually they give you the option to print or to send to card, but not this time ... the only option was to print.
