Sheesh, I should never make public statements about my good spending habits because I rarely manage to follow through longer than 24 hours after making such statements! Got myself some pre-birthday gifts for me, myself and I as the title suggests. I had been lurking around the Urban Decay site for the past week or so as they had a spingtime "Friends and Family 20% Off" discount site-wide offer going on. Yesterday was the last day and I thought I could be good but I guess the deals to be had overwhelmed my fiscally responsible side and I ended up checking my cart out. It's actually my first attempt at shopping direct from the Urban Decay site so I wasn't sure if my faux US addy would stand up to the checks but I did get my order confirmation and all appears to be hunky dory for now. We'll see after the President's Day holiday if my order still stands the test of time (and more security checks - Tarte was quick to reject me :D).
Anywho, the sale extended to even the Sales items which is where my purchases came from. I got a bunch of eyeshadow palettes that normally costs between $38-$39 per box but were already on sale for about half off. Plus the extra 20% off and it became more than half off for these popular palettes. To round up the cost for free shipping, I decided to get another sale product which was th Lip Junkie in the shade Runaway. My haul....
The Mariposa palette, which is the main product I wanted - look at the shades in the palette, so totally gorgeous!, was on sale for 19 bucks. That was also the sale price for the Eyeshadow Ammo Shadow Box. The Deluxe Shadow Box was selling for cheaper at $16. The Lip Junkie was going for $9. Altogether, after the coupon code FFSPRING13 was applied was a very bargain door-buster $50.40. Also, Urban Decay threw in 2 free samples, a deluxe tube of the Naked BB Cream and a sample of their original Primer Potion.
Anyway, like mentioned above, I'm really unsure if the transaction will ultimately go through but fingers crossed it wil :)

UPDATE (20/02/2013):
As suspected from the moment I made the order, it got canceled, boohoo! Hehe, what surprised me though is that the email mentioned they're not against freight forwarders, they just support the one freight forwarder, MyUS.com. Oh well. I'm a happy camper with comGateway so I really can't see myself jumping ship just because urbandecay.com doesn't support the freight forwarder of my choice :D
