Free Almay Lip Balm with coupon and extrabucks rewards

CVS has been a great place to shop for Almay cosmetics because there are frequent extrabucks rewards deals on them, and Almay also has generous coupons on a regular basis.

Next week CVS shoppers can get Almay Color & Care Liquid Lip Balm for free between extrabucks rewards and a coupon that will be available in one of the SmartSource inserts that will be in Sunday's paper.

Almay Color & Care Liquid Lip Balm will be on sale for $5.99 with a $1.99 extrabucks rewards deal, which brings it down to $4. One of the SmartSource inserts in Sunday papers will have a $4 coupon on any Almay cosmetic, according to Sunday Coupon Preview. Combing them both will allow you to get the balm free after extrabucks rewards.

Was so excited about this deal that I wanted to bring it to CVS shoppers attention as soon as I could.
Will be back later this week (or maybe tonight) with more of next deals from CVS.

There's money in dyeing your hair with L'Oreal hair color!

For the past several weeks, CVS has been running a Buy 2, Get $4 extrabucks rewards deal on any two boxes of L'Oreal hair color. I was sitting on the fence on this one because I needed to dye my hair, but there were other thing I needed more than hair color.

Well on Thursday, SavingStar made buying L'Oreal hair color sweeter with its Buy $30, Get $5 back deal on its site. Since the deal is good until June 25, can be spread out until you hit the $30 mark. And to make this deal even easier on your pocketbook, the L'Oreal Paris website has a $3 coupon good on any hair color product and a $1 coupon good on any L'Oreal product. If you use L'Oreal Paris Excellence, Coupons.com has $2 coupon that can be used toward the deal.

To make it even sweeter, all the hair color that you buy for the extrabucks rewards and the SavingStar deal also count toward the L'Oreal Gold Rewards program. For every five boxes of hair colors program members buy, members get a free box.

With all of these offers, there's no excuse not to dye your hair a new fabulous shade!

Have a great evening.
