Post-Game Wrap-Up (PS: Allure Beauty Thrills is Live and There's a New MAC Sale)

Affiliate Links

WE MADE IT! We survived!

The Nouveau Cheap Olympics 2016 (AKA: Black Friday/Cyber Monday) is a wrap, and I am absolutely and utterly exhausted. How about you? On Sunday I pulled an all-nighter and didn't get to sleep until around 2PM on Monday. For anyone keeping score, that was about 35 hours with no sleep, so yesterday I slept for like 15 hours straight. And I'm still exhausted. But it was worth it, right? Excellent deals on beauty were had by all, and that is 1000% why I do this every year!

That said, there are a few NEW deals that I want to put on your radar, but first, some thank-yous are in order.

Thank you to EVERYONE who commented on the blog, on social media, or sent me an email during the last week with a sale tip. Due to the crazy time of year, I wasn't able to thank each person individually and I deeply apologize for that (if you got a frenzied email response from me at like 3 in the morning and all it said was, "THANK YOU!!!" please know that I really, truly meant that!). Info was coming at me rapid fire for like four solid days straight and by Monday I wasn't seeing straight, let alone thinking straight. I was just trying to get the information up on my round-up as quickly as I could, so I thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for making my job here SO MUCH EASIER. You will never understand how much I value you as readers as contributors, and how grateful I am for your generosity and willingness to share your information with all of us. I could never do this without you, so I need you to know how grateful I am. THANK YOU, a million times over, for your help. And a special thanks to any of you who chose to purchase anything through my affiliate links during the last week (and all year through). Your support helps keep me going here every single day and I deeply appreciate it.

SPEAKING OF THE ROUND-UP...

I'm going to remove the banner from the top of my blog today (I'm sure you're all sick of seeing it by now because I sure am!) but the round-up HERE will remain available for viewing since many retailers have extended their sales since yesterday. I will not be updating the round-up any longer, so it will be up to you to see if those deals are still valid. Just click the links and see if there's a "sale extended" banner on the retailer's website. At this point, you can still get many of those deals so jump on them if you're having any post-Cyber Monday regrets!

TWO NEW DEALS:

A huge thanks to readers @pretty_matte, @KenKenBeauty, monica garcia, A Mom, LaShannon Spears, lisa, and Sarah Breden for the tips about this one! Now through December 4th on the MAC website and in-store, all MAC Select members (sign into your MAC Select account or create one here) will receive 25% off purchases both online and in-store. No code required. Excludes Goodbyes and other items as listed in fine print below.

TIP: Free shipping on all orders at MAC, and your choice of one free deluxe sample with all orders. MAC eyeshadow pans are already priced so low ($6 each here). But with the 25% off, that brings them down to $4.50, which is just crazy. Some of my all-time favorite shades include Satin Taupe, Club, Amber Lights, Brun, Shroom, Mulch, Wedge, Vex, Sable, Cork, Antiqued, Contrast, and Tilt (I don't usually wear blues but Contrast and Tilt are so gorgeous and were some of the first MAC shadows I ever bought way back in the day, so I have to give them some love!).

Thanks so much to reader @designismymuse for this tip! The December 2016 Allure Beauty Thrills Box is now available for purchase HERE for $49.95 + $10 shipping ($260 value). If you're new to the Allure Beauty Thrills boxes, they contain all full-size products. They are one-off boxes that come about twice a year in the Spring and Winter, and you do not need a subscription to purchase them. Lately they have not been selling out as quickly as they used to, so you'll probably have some time to order this one if you're low on funds today.
