Important Walgreens Black Friday news for smartphone users!

Walgreens shoppers: did you receive this email today? If not, check out this exciting news:

Walgreens is introducing NEW and EXCLUSIVE mobile coupons (no printing necessary) beginning on Black Friday! Looking at the image above, these coupons seem to function exactly like the Target mobile coupons, which I use all the time. Awesome!

Be sure to download the app on your smartphone (iPhone, Android or Blackberry) if you plan on hitting up Walgreens on Friday (or if you'd like to receive these exclusive coupons in the future).

More Black Friday sales (Bond, Estee Lauder, Dr. Brandt and more)

I apologize if it seems like my blog posts are a bit Black-Friday-centric right now, but info is pouring in my in-box from a variety of sources and if I don't blog about it ASAP, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep track of it all! I have just updated the Black Friday Master List with many new links. Keep checking back before the big day so you don't miss anything, and of course if you have any other Black Friday sales info to contribute, please leave your info on this post. Thanks in advance!

I also want to let you know of a few other deals that are either going on NOW, or will begin on Black Friday. I realize that some of these deals are a bit out of the price range for Nouveau Cheap, however, with the holiday season here (and gift-giving on the mind) I want to share as much money-saving info as possible with you.

Nicka K (makers of NK polishes) is having a 48-hour sale (11/25 and 11/26 only):

50% off on everything on nickashop.com plus a free metallic crackle nail polish (new item) with every purchase no restrictions. 

Nouveau Cheap news

Since I sincerely think of all of my readers as dear friends (I've known some of you for going on three years now!), I'd like to share some good news that's come my way recently. If anything good has come your way recently, please feel free to share in the comments. Even if it doesn't have to do with beauty or blogging or the things we normally discuss here, good news is always worth sharing and I'd love to hear from you!

A few good things that have come my way recently:

The Body Shop Black Friday & Pre-Black Friday sale info

According to the Slick Deals forum, the Black Friday sale at The Body Shop is going to be a great one:

ALSO, there's going to be a ONE DAY ONLY offer for a super-secret tote bag containing $120 worth of products. You can click here to view The Body Shop's Facebook page for a sneak peek. The contents of the tote will not be revealed until 11/25.

And a huge thanks to reader Diana for the heads-up about the pre-Black-Friday sale going on NOW:

Thanks again, Diana, for the heads-up!

Review: Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips

Over the past year or so, I've probably mentioned Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips dozens of times on this blog. I've been obsessed with their designs (especially the limited edition holiday designs) and  I honestly don't know why it's taken me this long to actually try them. The only thing I can think of is that I'm more of a nail polish person, but thankfully I was sent two designs from the core collection for review recently, so I finally got a chance to put these to the test and see exactly why so many of you love this product.
