The Daily Deal: Cyber Monday UGG Boot Sale – Cardy, Bailey

by fh on November 30, 2009 · 0 comments

We know that UGG boots are flying off the shelves due to their comfort and this season’s cute styles. But as usual due to the holidays approaching, they are selling out and near impossible to find on sale.

But what better days to scout for sales than Cyber Monday? We found these heart warming UGG deals and couldn’t wait to share them with you. But remember, these are good today only (Nov. 3oth).

1.UGG Australia ‘Suburb Crochet’ Boot-$120(from$180)

2. Footwear etc. – is offering 15% off all UGGs during Cyber Monday. Good through Nov. 30th. (Footwearetc.com is an authorized UGG reseller). The offer free shipping and no tax (except CA).

Although 15% cannot be applied to sale items, do check out UGG sale section, as many UGG styles are on sale, including these Cardy boots discounted from $140 to $103.

3. Bloomingdales is running a special take $5o off $250 on Nov. 30th only. These booties are $140, but if you are looking to purchase two or more pairs ofUGGs, this is a good deal to use (equivalent to 20% off). Especially handy if you are buying UGGs as holiday gifts for multiple recipients.
We love this UGG Australia Cardy Tall Crochet Boots, grab one for yourself and the second as a gift, to get the discount.

Keep your smackers healthy and moist with these organic lip balms. Chemicals have no place on your lips, and these organic balms are chemical free and do a spectacular job. We like to buy in bulk in the beginning of winter and sprinkle these in every purse and coat pocket to always have a lip balm handy.

And with all the winter activities you have coming up, these will be much needed.

1.Eos Organic Lip Balm (4 Flavors) -$10.99 (4-packs). Vanilla Balm is yammie and Shea butter and jojoba oil work moisturizing magic against the cold.

6.Badger Lip & Body Balm – $3.50 (from $4). These lovely metallic tins contains a rich balm created from natural plan extracts.

Looking for a natural moisturizing cerum to keep your skin as hydrated as your lips? Check out this Natural Jason C Moisturizer Serum that Reese Witherspoon can’t get enough off. (Personally speaking, we tried it, and it is above and beyond: non-greasy, has pleasant smell, and gives skin a healthy glow in seconds..) The whole Jason line is superb.
