My sweetie and me went to Target on Monday. We bought:

How the Grinch Stole Christmas dvd(cartoon version)
mini Christmas tree to decorate (it only cost $10)

The dvd came with a $5 Target gift card. WOO HOO!

I received my Sephora order this evening. I am happy with everything, I also got to pick a deuxe sample. I chose the Sephora Tangerine Grapefruit shower gel (2.5 oz.) it smells pretty good. I am still bummed that they d/c their other line I thought it sold pretty well.

I meant to post this earlier, but this was last weekend's haul:

Bare Escentuals Guilty Pleasures eyeshadow collection
Fresh Claret lip shine
Henry Slatkin Winter HFO
Fun Frosted Cranberry HFO
Liplicious Candy Apple plumping gloss
Liplicious Maple Sugar plumping gloss

I'm really in love with the eyeshadows and the Fresh lip shine!!

HotFF sent me a lovely package while I was away that included a ton of wonderful stuff, including a SDCP lotion and TD Cinnamon Frosting 6.7oz souffle! Thanks!

I also picked up at BBW:
2 Sweetest Softest socks (pink and red)
2 Pumpkin Pie Paradise 3in1s 50% off
Snowman ornament with penguin snowglobe

On vacation, I bought some souveniers including an old time photo (I love those things!), some fudge and jams, a silly cookbook, and a magnet.

My husband and I sold our old tv when we got a 46" lcd flat panel from my parents. With the new one we got a $150 mail-in rebate which came in the mail a few days ago. I put that money towards a small 26" Samsung lcd flat panel to put in the guest bedroom.
Now I don't have to fight over the remote with my husband anymore.

I went to Target tonight & got Dec. issues of Cosmo & Glamour as well as some other toiletries. I was so glad to finally see those magazines out; it took them awhile to show up.

Fryl, yay for the new TV!

This is me since I got my new tv:


If anyone is interested in getting magazine subscriptions, check out Amazon.com.
They have an instant $5 rebate on select magazines. I got Marie Claire for only $3, GQ for my husband for $7, and Lucky Magazine for $7 (all for 1 year).
I don't know if MC and Lucky are any good, but for a total of only $10 it's worth it to find out.
Megan, I think Glamour and Cosmo are also eligible for the $5 rebate.

Did a little shopping yesterday.

Sephora:
makeup brushes -- angled eyeliner, small eyeshadow, and smudge

Nordstom:
philosophy Double Rich Hot Cocoa lipgloss (xmas gift for MIL -- she said she wanted it)

Apple Store:
iPhones for me and my husband

Very nice purchases girls

In the past few months I have bought probably 10 different deoderants. Every single one keeps giving me a rash on my underarms only. I have worn the same one for years, not sure what has changed. Anyway I now have to use boring unscented sensitive skin formula I ended up buying Dove.

I also had a Coach purse in my hands, at Nordstroms and talked myself out of it. I have a ton of purses in my closet I should just grab one of those

Wow Janelle, you did some major shopping.

I'm going to pretend you got iPods instead of iPhones at the Apple store.
I'm so jealous!

Sorry to hear about your deodorant woes, Gizmo. It's so hard to find a good one.
I have been thinking about getting the Fresh Sugar roll-on. Maybe it's worth looking into that one too.

I got an enamel bracelet at JCrew today.

Awesome hauls. I've been keeping the Dollar General in business by raiding their Christmas decor aisles....

Fryl, i like the first line you wrote,
with the popcorn pic, lol.
I hope your enjoying your tv.

I bought a new GPS for my husband for his birthday, which is coming up in a few days.
In return I get to use his VS $10 off birthday coupon.

No buying of anything just yet (waiting till Black Fri. ), but I got a $10 off any purchase coupon from VS in the mail. It starts 11/27 & is valid till 12/24.

Hmm...what do I use it on?

I'm back from Black Fri. shopping.

Clinique Counter:
2 Turnaround Concentrates

BBW:
Magnolia Blossom EDT
Magnolia Blossom bubble bath (free w/ coupon; only saw 1 on the shelves & was very surprised to see it )

American Eagle:
Pink gem earrings
Aquamarine gem earrings
5 for $20 Aerie underwear (star & snowflake prints)
(I got 15% off purchase as part of a doorbuster deal & got a coupon for a free Blockbuster rental. )

VS:
3 So Sexy volumizing shampoos
3 So Sexy volumizing conditioners
Sexy Little Things underwear
Tote w/ beauty samples (free w/ purchase)

VS has their supermodel shopping bags back again. The model selection this yr. is: Heidi, Alessandra, Adriana, Selita, & Karolina. They gave me a Adriana bag. It's going in the trash.

I also would've bought more @ BBW, but they were out of PS Cocoa body butter.

Black Friday was pretty good to me this year:

WalMart:
2 Live Free or Die Hard movies (1 for me and fiance, and 1 for my dad)
Guitar Hero 1&2 game bundle

Target:
19" LCD tv w/ built in dvd player (for fiance's mom)
New house phones - 1 corded, 1 cordless(for dad)
Small slow cooker
Dvds - Ghostbusters 1&2, Casino Royale, Blood Diamond, 300, and possibly one more. These are mainly for my fiance (except Ghostbusters! )
Razor scooter
Digital photo frame (for dad)
Guitar Hero PS2 bundle (for fiance's sister and HER fiance since they ours)
Some random video game
Wooden chess/checkers set
Play-Doh 24pack ( my fiance insisted that we get this. Apparently he loves Play-Doh)
Rubik's cube (for future brother-in-law)
Small vacuum (fiance's mom)
Tool set (future brother-in-law)

The downside to going shopping with my fiance is that he saw everything I was getting him. BUT, I still have two paychecks before Christmas and a few tricks up my sleeve when it comes to him.

I got quite a few goodies today as well.
This is the first time I've really went out with the intent of getting some Black Friday specials.

Best Buy:
Portable external hard drive (in a nice red colour)

Circuit City:
Canon SD870 digital camera
Sandisk 2 GB Ultra II SD card
21" HP flat panel monitor
Digital photo frame (for husband's grandparents)

My husband got an HD DVD player.

I also received my Lush HIWTK solid perfume on Wednesday, it's very nice!

Very nice shopping sprees today girls!!!

I worked today so I only stopped at Bed Bath & Beyond. I bought a big lit snowman that moves for outside. Everything in the store was 20% off.

Well I was out at 5:30 am again this year! I didn't get too much today, but I think that I'll be about halfway done with my shopping by the end of this weekend. I'm going to the bookstore tomorrow to pick up a few things, and I'm headed to the outlet mall with Becky and our mom on Sunday.

Anyway, this was today's damage:
pashmina wrap/scarf for mother in law
a bunch of long sleeve tees for me
sweater for me
wireless xbox headset for my husband
gift card to gourmet shop for friends
kitchen gadget for mother in law
new skillet for me
assorted toys for two kids I "adopted" for Christmas
a gift for Becky
giftwrap!
and a partridge in a pear tree!!!!

Edited to add:
I went into BBW again today, but out of the past 10 or so times I've gone in there, I've only bought something once, and even then I kind of regretted it afterward, since I didn't really need any of it. They just haven't had anything that really excites me for what feels like about a year.
