Smile Almay Smart Shade Money Maker!!

Ignore my title above, it's the Almay Pure Blends makeup, not Smart Shade. Sorry! But see below,

As some of you know, the Almay One Coat is supposed to buy one, get one half off. BUT, it's ringing up as BOGO instead. Therefore, using the $4 coupon in the November booklet will net you some free mascara (look for the double packs too, they're included). But there's an even better deal on Almay!

Now. . . . . .this is crazy. Pure Blends foundation is a monthly RR and is $9.99 with a $10 RR. Plus, all other Pure Blendsscara, eye shadow, blush, etc. ) is a monthly RR of buy one item, get a $5 RR. Prices for those items start at $7.49. So, buy one foundation and one other item, say at $7.49, the $7.49 item will ring up free. Then, you get a $10 RR and a $5 RR. It's a $5 Money Maker! Yeah!! Lots of free makeup!!

P.S. Did this 3 times without a hitch!

Default confused but excited!

I think I am going to have to read your post a few more times to make sure I understand how to do the MM, but so thankful to you for sharing! I walked into my WAGS today hoping to pick up some nov. Q booklets but they didn't have any out, hope tomorrow they will! thanks again!

A lot of the times the monthly RR are not in the ad but in the store I was in, it was very clearly marked at the Almay displays. It's good from 11/1 to 11/28.


Chloe--I didn't try to roll. Let me know if you try and have any luck.

Sariah, it's a money maker because you spend $9.99 for the foundation, spend $7.49 for the second item, which you will get free (such as eyeshadow, etc) and then make $10 RR on the foundation and $5 RR on the other item. So you make $5.

Not sure how long this will be a money maker because it sounds like a glitch since Almay is supposed to be buy one get one 50% off, not buy one get one free.

Default thanks

I think I understood it, but you know when you are browsing so much and you get so many senerios that you mind just can't think anymore, well I was there when I was reading your post, but really wanted to see how it worked since it was a MM
I'm going to try it tomorrow, hope it stays a BOGO!! Plus I haven't bought/worn make up in the LONGEST time, so maybe this will not only be a MM but a boost for the DH too, haha

This should still be a MM even if they change it to 50% off right. If you're getting $15 in RR and your purchase totals 13.73? I'm going tomorrow to get this deal! Someone let me know if it'll roll. Man that would be too good to be true!

Right. And, the title of my post was for the Smart Shades, but I am mistaken. It is the Pure Blends. I use the Smart Shades and the package is almost identical.
