The Plan: Just One Little Primer

I love a good surprise, but sometimes I know exactly what I want. I went to the Laura Geller website with one simple goal: finally buy the Spackle Primer I’ve heard so many great things about. The reviews say it smooths everything out, helps makeup stay put, and leaves your skin looking fresh and well-rested — like you actually got eight hours of sleep. Sold.

The Discovery: A Full Face for Less

But then I saw that they’re running 15% off sitewide, and suddenly my “one little primer” plan turned into my eyeing the Cult Classics Full Face Kit — because for less than $60, you get the primer plus foundation, blush, highlighter, lipstick, and their amazing kabuki brush.

I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw the regular price listed at $182 — that’s what all six full-size products would cost on their own. The kit is usually bundled for less, but with the 15% off sale, it’s practically a steal.

Why I Love These Products

I already use (and love!) a few of those. The foundation matches my skin tone perfectly and gives a soft glow, the lipstick is creamy and feels great on, and that brush is such a game changer — you can twist it to tighten the bristles for more coverage or loosen them for a softer, airier finish. It’s genius.

The Math: Savings That Add Up

Now, this particular kit is actually going to be a birthday gift for my mom (I’m trying to be good and not keep it for myself… we’ll see how long that lasts). But while I’m getting 15% off, Laura Geller also donates 1% to Toys for Tots, offers free shipping, and throws in 12 digital magazine issues of your choice for free.

Oh, and I’m using Rakuten for 4% cash back on the whole thing. So technically I’m saving money… right?

Or maybe I’m just really good at justifying smart shopping. Either way, Mother’s getting a great gift — and my Girl Math is thriving.
