April 7-15

This a GREAT time to save on COVERGIRL Mascara.  Let me tell you! They have a new LASH Blast Mascara. Now, its not that I am so in LOVE with the LASH BLAST, but what i am in love with is that it comes in a variety of cool colors!! You don't ALWAYS need to use black!! Especially with my Brides, I tend to shy away from using black mascara. Often times with the suede's and milk chocolates I use in bridal makeup, black is too overpowering! I lean towards using a dark chocolate mascara (which is hard to find). Most of the companies make a "glam brown" -which is still black...and too much. I have a great little Waterproof, Milk Chocolate ( REAL HARD to find) Mascara from Avon, that is very nice and fitting for my Brides that don't like much mascara-and it looks amazing with the lighter tones of brown hues for Weddings. OK, let me get back to my Covergirl...you can pick this up with shades of DARK WINE(Burgundy) which looks AMAZING with Darker Chocolates and Creams with hues of purple, Dark Blues, which highlights Darker Eye Colors and Skin and of course Brown. SO KROGER has an E-Coupon for 3 bucks off, paired with the Covergirl $1.oo off coupon from this past Sunday and you have your self a COOL 4 bucks off to try a different color mascara! Yesterday I Got mine for a cool $2.69! ENJOY! 




April-1 -April 4

This weeks Bridal Beauty on a Budget is really GREAT! It is even a little bit for the "Husbands to Be!" I had a GREAT shopping trip to Target this MORNING! SO, I was able to SCORE FREE Toothpaste for beautiful bridal teeth(plus good breath), .2 cent nail polish(for the honeymoon), a .99 cent People Magazine (for the plane) AND a $1.38 DOVE Dody Wash for MEN (for the honeymoon)! Oh yea! CLEANED up!
here is how I did it!....
TODAY in the SUNDAY paper, you will find a DOVE men's body wash coupon(1.00 off and 1.00 off Target one). Last weeks paper I pulled out a Colgate Total Coupon(1.50 off and 1.00 off Target) AND a People Magazine coupon (1.00 off plus 2.00 off from Target). The Nail polish coupon (1.00 off) I got from Target at the check out the last time I was there! HA!
THEN this morning I went to Target Coupons on line and printed off a Colgate Coupon, DOVE MEN'S Care, and the PEOPLE Magazine one! YOU CAN use Targets coupons with manufacturer coupons!
Before coupons my total was $10.88 and After: $2.38! HUGE BEAUTY SAVINGS! AND YOU CAN TOO!

 So I am finding a large hole in my upcoming weekend schedule of APRIL 9th! I am booked ALL around April 9th,  but not on April 9th! I know that there must be a BRIDE that would LOVE TO have hair and makeup for APRIL 9th! If you would like...... I am open! So shoot me an email!




March 20th-April 1

I have been meaning to talk about a GREAT mascara that all of my friends have recommended to me and I have been using for a while. THIS WEEK.... I see that it can also be combined with a BUDGET FIND! YIPEE! Maybelline "Falsies" mascara is all the rage and one of the hottest mascaras on the market! I have a few in my kit and always revert back to it when picking mascaras out of my kit. It just has something special. Its smoothly formulated, does not clump and glides on easy! and I also get mine in waterproof!
This week when you use your CVS card you can get a 2/10 special! That's $5 bucks each! PLUS I have been holding onto a $1.00 off coupon for any Maybelline mascara! So mine will be LESS! THAT'S a great buy! I also see CVS has L'Oreal on sale. If you are savvy you also picked up a $1.00 off L'Oreal as well in the Sunday paper!!










March 8th-15th


This week has been insane! i have been preparing to travel to Charlotte for a full blown, all out, no holds bared beauty weekend! This weekend, once a year, I direct the North and South Carolina International Pageant! Its a work in progress all year with the culmination of it all this weekend! I will be posting some fun event photos and you might catch me in action! B fore I leave for the weekend I wanted to give you a quick Bridal Beauty on a Budget for the week. I have been holding onto this all week now! Its a rare find, and I am thrilled.
No coupon needed for this one. Walgreens is offering in the flyer until Sunday 50% off Broadway Press on Nails and Kiss Eyelashes. I love these sales because these items are a GREAT way to save money and time! I will talk about the nails coming up. But I keep a few sets of these nails in my closet and of course the eyelashes for upcoming events and more. Its a huge money saver and they look fantastic on.
I will talk a bit more about them in my upcoming Bridalicious! Happy Shopping!!

March 1 -March 8




This week has flown by so fast that I can hardly keep up! I had planned to give you your Bridal Beauty on a Budget on Tuesday, but Ed's video was too nice to pass up!

So, THIS WEEK! You should be getting your Crest White Strips as we talked about on Sundays BLOG post!


Now, i have saved SEVERAL $10 off coupons for Crest White Strips and I have a flyer from Walgreens saying that they are giving $10 off as well. So That is a $20 BUCK savings! hard to beat! Now for My bragging rights.....  I arrived at Walgreens this past weekend, found the small clearance section in the back of the beauty isle and low and behold 3 sets of Ardell Lashes!!! Marked down from $4.50 to $1.07!!! WOW these are a Bridal Beauty on a Makeup Artist Budget FIND! These are the lashes I use for Bridal Makeup!
I ALSO scored another Maybeline 16 hour Colorstay at Target for $1.37. YEP it had been market down 4 times!! They are making way for the SuperStay Lip Color, so get to Target to see if you might be able to score yourself one!
 



Over the past several weeks I have had many Bride to Be's come into the Glam Studio with the same compliant. Dry Skin and Scalp. Its that time of year isn't it? With the heat up in our homes and the air outside so cold. Its hard to keep moisture in our skin. I feel so bad for our chapped lips, and eyelids!
I have been on the look out for a great coupon to get myself some facial moisturiser with out spending a fortune. I just wanted a nice day to day lotion to soothe my facial skin this winter. TODAY I found a GREAT coupon!!


What you need to do, is FISH out the PARADE section of your Sunday paper. Cut out the Garnier coupon with $2 bucks off! THEN go to the Target coupon web site to get another $2.00 off Garnier coupon! YES at Target you can USE both!! Meaning you can STACK them!

I scored a NEW Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel-Cream  full of vitamin E and Grape water extract. *oil Free. The product was on sale for $6.64 - my ($4.00) in coupons= $2.64!  Yep! I paid $2.64 for my new moisturizer!


If you were not looking for a moisturizer, then I would HIGHLY recommend trying the Garnier Nutritioniste Detoxifying Wet Cleansing Towelettes. I use Towelettes everyday to take off makeup and my skin has NEVER, i repeat NEVER looked better in YEARS! I had adult acne BEFORE I started using Cleansing Towlettes. I can thank my beautiful friend LaDaria for that tip! I use most any brand. AND i totally would have gotten the Towlettes and paid a WHOPPING .49 cents for them too(they were 4.49), if I was not looking for a moisturizer!





I can not take all of the credit for finding this little gem. Thanks to the Web site Totally Target, I was able to score a GREAT deal today on Garnier!






Feb.  14-21st 2011

Remember last week I told you that I was going to FIND that long lasting lip stick on sale from Maybelline? I got it!
So...to be a FBJ BRIDE on a Budget
I always tell my Brides that the best thing they can do for lip stick is to find a "colorstay" that wont kiss off during the ceremony! It will last into the reception and you will only need to gloss over it! SMART!
Over the past 2 weeks I have collected Covergirl $2.00 off any lip stick and Maybelline $2.00 off Superstay lip gloss. I had 4 coupons in all just waiting for the right moment. Be sure to read your coupons too...I had Covergirl and Maybelline. Often, although they are featuring a certain product on the coupon, it applies to ALL of their products, not always, but most of the time. So although my Maybelline ones said they were for the 24 hour colorstay, I still got it off the Maybelline16 hour. Today I arrived a CVS and low and behold they are running 50% and 75% off certain makeup brands/colors/products!! They do this a few times per year and I LOVE it! I took out my 4 coupons and here is the break down.....
With the 50% off my Covergirl double outlast came to $5.89- $2.00 coupon=$3.89! My Maybelline Superstay at 50% off came to 5.65-$2.00=$3.65!
Now I of course bought 4 since I do makeup for a living! BUT you could have gotten one for your big day for as little as $3.65! I bought shades: nude glaze, rose quartz, born with it, and tutu. ALL great Wedding day colors!!
SUPER!! On top of that I had to take advantage of the buy one get one free GOT2B Rock'in It  and GOT2B Guardian Angel Heat protectant for bridal hair.  I got both of these Schwartzkopf products for $7.29!

Not a bad beauty afternoon!!! GOOD LUCK!!!















 If your a bride and your seeking beauty then you have come to the right place! These are easy finds that you can  use on your wedding day or pre-wedding to get beautified on the cheap FEB 6th-13 2011 

One thing I hardly ever splurge on is a nice razor. I am always getting away with the cheap disposables and the one time a year I do splurge I definitely make good use of, for longer than i really should, the expensive razor that I covet.

This week, if you go to Kroger.com and sign your Kroger shopper card up you can search down through the E-coupons and find a coupon for $4.00 off a Gillette Fusion ProGlide AND a Schick Hydro 3( you can pick them both) AND you can get one for FREE! and the other dirt cheap! IF you also are a very Savvy bride you got the coupons in the Sunday paper last week, and will also ALSO have a $4.00 coupon for the Gillette Fusion Pro Glide AND a $2.00 off the Schick Hydro3! 
On Sunday, I purchased a ProGlide AND a Hydro 3 at Kroger! With the $4.00 ecoupon off the ProGlide (that was on sale) for $9.89- $4.00 ecoupon=$5.89 AND then I applied my $4.00 coupon from the Sunday paper and got my ProGlide for $1.89! The Hydro 3 was on sale for $5.70-$4.00 ecoupon=$1.70-$2.00= .30 cents they paid me to buy the razor!!

Make sure your getting your Sunday paper coupons! Fish out your beauty ones and put them in a folder!! THIS WEEK* HOT TIP.... there was a $2.00 coupon for Maybeline 24 hour color stay! THIS IS A KEEPER! This will be wonderful for your wedding day! I will let you know when i find them ON SALE!!
