Next weekend is Mother's Day weekend. So head over to CVS.com and print out your CVS coupons for $3 off of a purchase of 3 Hallmark cards. You can also go to Hallmark on Facebook and get a manufacturer coupon for $2 off 3, making the $.99 cards free and with the extra bucks deal ($3 wyb 3), they're a $5 money maker. Not to mention, if you have the Reinventing Magazine (found in the beauty section of your local CVS), you can sweeten the deal even more and get a free card when you buy 3. Do this a couple of times and you'll have a nice little stash of cards for any upcoming graduations, weddings, and birthdays.
This is a blog about why one Christian, minority family of 11 has such a large family, why we homeschool, serving a husband and children, and how things all come together.

Not So Made Up - Easy Natural Eyes
I love the enhancement of natural beauty using the beautiful color and techniques of makeup application. When wearing makeup, I like to follow the adage, "A little goes a long way." There are times when I like bold colors but I don't strive for the look of the runway or the circus clown. I prefer a less ostentatious approach to my make up.
Having said that, I've been hearing great things about Maybelline Eye Studio Color Tattoo 24 Hour Cream Gel Shadow. Although I've yet to try it, it's rumored to be long lasting, easy to apply and non-creasing. I checked out the colors and they're pretty nice. There's color to suit just about anyone but I'm going to put it on my shopping list because long lasting and non creasing are nice perks. Speaking of perks, with a coupon, I can save pretty nicely if I get it at CVS on the week of April 29th when there are $5 Extra Bucks when you purchase $15 of face, eye or lip products.
You can check the Maybelline Eye Studio website to take a look at the different views of usage for the shadow. Some of the applications are dramatic but can easily be scaled down if. I thought the techniques were nice enough to tweak and make them my own. The views list instructions to achieve the "look" and are printable. The views are also inclusive of other makeup items, such as liner, to gain the full look that Maybelline will show you.
I was happy to stumble across another video that shows a nice tutorial for a natural look. It does incorporate the Maybelline Color Tattoo but has a couple of other products that are mentioned, including false lashes. I don't use false lashes but really liked how Holly easily showed off her application in her video that I've included below. I'm taking survey of what I'll need to add a little variance to my eyes.
Here's Holly's video.

CVS eGift Cards
CVS is one of my most favorite places to shop for basic needs and there's one simple reason - savings. They make it easy to save, giving customers Extra Care Bucks on select advertised purchases that can be used on just about any item in the store. The Extra Bucks can be combined with both CVS coupons and manufacturer coupons for great savings. I've been able to purchase personal, beauty, baby, and many other items for as little as free!
I can't tell you why it's so much fun shopping CVS but I can tell you that I'm there every week saving on things I always need. And, I have to mention, the store's staff helps me to save. My daughter went in to purchase Easter candy last week and the store manager explained to her how she'd spend less if she purchased two bags rather than just the one bag. It was a small thing but it was very much appreciated. With a family our size, savings are very important.
So that brings me to CVS eGift cards from CashStar. It may not seem like something really big but CVS gift cards can go a long way with coupons and Extra Bucks. I have, in fact, had one $25 gift card last me months and have used that same one to purchase over a hundred and fifty dollars worth of products! The eGift cards can be purchased in amounts of $25 to $150 and are printed out on a standard printer. They are used just like any other gift card, to pay for your purchase and will be given back to you to use again if it has not been fully redeemed.The eGift cards are also emailable (if that's even a word) and can be gifted to a friend. I just hinted to my couponing girls that it might make a nice Mother's Day gift.
Although these are printable, be careful not confuse eGift with a printable CVS coupon because once you use it on your purchase, you can't go back and give the cashier any coupons or Extra Bucks.

Freebies to Snatch
Here are a couple of freebies that have surfaced up if you haven't already heard.
If you're near a Sheetz gas station and you have a My Sheetz Card, they're emailing customers with a free Jolly Ranchers candy offers that are good until 4/13 when you present your card. No coupon necessary to redeem this offer.
CVS has reportedly been emailing Extra Care customers with coupons for free candy or soda up to $2. Log in to your CVS Extra Care account to see if you received one.
Martins Foods has Maruchan Yakisoba Noodles 2 for $1. Use the coupon $.50/1 Maruchan Yakisoba from SS 3/11/12 (exp. 5/31/12) and get two packs of noodles for free! Remember that Martins only doubles up to four like coupons in a single transaction so eight of these packs per transaction should be free with one $.50 off coupon.

Up to $7 off Rembrandt and Possible CVS Deal
Just saw a commercial for up to $5 off of Rembrandt products so I headed over to 1rembrandt.com only to find that it was up to $7 off. The first coupon was $5 "off any REMBRANDT® DEEPLY WHITE® 2 Hour Whitening Kit, or any two REMBRANDT® toothpastes or mouthwash." The second was $2 "off any REMBRANDT® Whitening Toothpaste or REMBRANDT® DEEPLY WHITE® + Peroxide Whitening Mouthwash." CVS has $3 off of Rembrandt toothpaste and rinse when you use your CVS card. It's not a coupon so the register will automatically take off the $3 at checkout. Combine that with the $5 off coupon for nice savings.
Note* There is a form that you will have to fill out to get the coupons.
