Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale: They Took My Money!

This haul is the culmination of four in-store trips (two locations) and one online purchase. I needed to stock up, and this year’s scents were amazing. So much so that I purchased some products at 50% off instead of 75%. I saved my receipts and if the price is reduced, I’ll get an adjustment. Plus,…

Sephora Playbox June 2019

This month’s Sephora Playbox is filled with skin care products. Perfect for healing and protecting skin during the hot summer. The subscription is ten bucks a month for five sample items. I’ve seen First Aid Beauty in Marshall’s. I’ve never tried the products, so this sample of Ultra Repair Sensitive Skin Cream will be tested….

Lime Crime Makeup

I’d never heard of Lime Crime makeup until I saw it in Marshall’s. After watching a few Youtube Influencers rave about it, I decided to try out some products since they’re inexpensive at Marshall’s. Lime Crime Velvetines’ liquid lipstick has quickly become a favorite. This is the color Raisin Hell. It’s a burgundy bronze hue.  …

My Favorites!

My goal this year is not just to try new products, but also review them. So here are some of the beauty and skin items I’m loving. A La Maison liquid hand and body soap. This soap is a perfect consistency and comes in a slew of scents. Advanced Clinicals’ Hemp Seed Oil Cream.  This cream…

Marshall’s Haul: Mychelle and Laura Mercier!

Right now, my Marshall’s is down on makeup and body products. So I went to another location. My timing was perfect. They’d just restocked. I picked up another bar of the Shea Moisture Inflammation Therapy Soap. The hemp and shea moisture help sensitive skin. It’s also good for arthritis and sore joints. I bought the…

TJ Maxx & Marshall’s Haul: Becca, Marc Jacobs & Hemp Products!

  Let’s start with TJ Maxx. My hair loves black castor oil, so I repurchased the Sunny Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil Lavender Pomade. This pomade is a staple in my home. A little goes a long way, and it lasts forever. $5.99 I normally buy the Sunny Isle Black Castor Oil, but I switched…

High-End Skin Products: Are They Worth the Money?

For the past two weeks, I’ve been using high-end skin products. I received them in my subscription boxes, and I wanted to see if they’re worth the money. Tula Purifying Face Cleanser. This stuff is amazing. It gets deep into your pores and cleans out the nasty stuff. The cleanser is actually affordable at $28…

Sephora Playbox: April 2019

IT Cosmetics Brow Power in the color, Universal Taupe. This is a brown color that blends in nicely with darker eyebrows.  It’s a good back-up to have. SACHJUAN Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner samples. I’ll pass on these. They have sulfates and other bad stuff in them. Clinique Moisturizing Lotion. You can never go wrong with…

IPSY Bag: April 2019

I think this bag is so cute. I love the lemon design. A nice bright bag that’s fun for the spring and summer. For $10 a month, IPSY sends a uniquely designed bag and five samples. Eyeko Black Magic eyeliner. I have a couple of these. I like to use felt liners to line the…
