ATTENTION SAN DIEGO READERS

A reason why everyone (not just SD readers) should always, always check the You Tell Me page whenever you visit my blog? You will see AWESOME tips submitted by our little community in real time (as soon as I see a comment I approve it, so actually it's almost in real time).

Reader Sarah S. left a comment earlier today on the You Tell Me page that made me immediately call my friend G. (yep, she goes by G. too) and beg her to get this for me:

Urban Decay Naked 1 and Naked 2 palettes are 50% OFF at the GTM in Santee RIGHT NOW (not at the Lemon Grove location). My friend G. lives very close to this store, so I begged her to go over there this morning and get me the Naked 2 palette (I already have Naked 1 and 3). I just met her for lunch and picked it up, and I'll tell you a bit more about this deal, after the jump...

If You're Not in San Diego, Please Don't Read This (You've Been Warned)

I try very hard to NOT post about regional deals here on the blog, because I want as many readers as possible to have a shot at scoring beauty products at a reduced price. BUT, every once in a while, a deal comes around that's so good, I have to shout it from the rooftops.

If you are NOT in San Diego, you might not want to read this (unless you have a friend or relative who lives here that may be able to get these deals for you). You've been warned. Seriously. Don't torture yourself with this one...

OK, here goes:

Total retail price of this haul: $164

What I paid for this haul: $56.27

San Diego readers: Get thee to GTM now!

If you're in San Diego, then stop what you're doing and head over to GTM. Right. Now.

If you've never heard of GTM, it's an indie close-out store with two locations. If you're not in San Diego, you can also buy some of their products online--here's a link to their beauty section. I was at the Lemon Grove location yesterday so I cannot tell you if the following deals can be found at the Santee location but it never hurts to try, if you're closer to the Santee location.

Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blushes in Candy Coral and Plum Wine: $1.99 each 

(regular retail price at Walgreens: $8.49)
