February Photo Challenge

DO IT!

Teaser

I didnt share earlier, but I just returned from Los Angeles, where I attended IMATS!  I had a blast with my best friend and mom, and can’t wait to share the photos!  I will be posting them later this week, but first I need to get caught up with work. Until then, here is a sneak peek…

Walmart Beauty Box – Winter

This is my 2nd Walmart Beauty Box.  If you havent signed up yet, go here and do it now!  It is $5 quarterly, which for me, means that I forget and it’s like getting a present in the mail!

Here is what I received:

I have heard GREAT things about the Maybelline Dream Wonder line, and will be trying it soon, so this coupon is very timely.
The lipstick is Maple Kiss by Maybelline, and is a pretty nude shade.

I plan to throw the shampoo and conditioner in my travel bag.

December Ipsy

This is another good month for me!  I will use 4 out of 5 products, because as usual, I dont need mascara.  But I know someone would love to receive a Tarte mascara!  Here is what I received:

Hair Repair Serum

Fairy Dust Brightening Bare

Butter Lip Balm in Ladyfingers

Crease/Shadow Crown Brush

Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes

Walmart Beauty Box

I signed up for the Walmart Beauty Box.  It is a quarterly subscription, and only costs $5!  For $20 per year, you will receive 4 boxes, one each season.

“Your Fall box provides you with beauty products that are uniquely you and will soon be a part of your everyday routine”.

In this first box, I received 1 FL. OZ. Dove shampoo, 1 FL. OZ. Dove conditioner, a full-size Secret Clinical Strength Clear Gel Deodorant in Completely Clean, a perfume sample of Pink Friday by Nicki Minaj, a sample of L’Oreal Youth Code Pore Vanisher, a .4 FL. OZ. Dove Pure Care Dry Oil hair treatment, 3.5 ml CoverGirl Glossy Days Glosstinis in 670 #GetGlowing, a full-size L’Oreal Glossy Balm in Petite Plum, and an 8 pack sample of Neutrogena Nourishing Long Wear Makeup and a $2 off coupon for the Neutrogena.

For $5, this is a steal!  Visit Walmart Beauty to sign up!

September Ipsy

Pretty excited about this month’s bag!  I will use the nail polish, lipstick, lotion and face powder.  I will need to look up the ingredients for the face wash.  The bag itself is pretty too!

August Ipsy

Not so excited by this month’s bag, but it isnt terrible.  I will use some of it, and pass some on to friends.

FOTD and Some Hauls

This is what I get when I only have 35 minutes to wake-up, shower, get dresses, and do my hair and makeup.  Rough day.

The plus is my presentation went well, and I was able to stop by an Ulta and get a ton of stuff for only $20 out of pocket.  I will do a post on this stuff soon!

And, when I got home, my OHWTO order was waiting for me!  There will be a post on this soon too!

And now, it is bed time because today has been a long day.

The Bathing Garden – Summer Order

The Bathing Garden restocks every 4-8 weeks, and I tend to order from every other restock.  This is my most recent purchase, ordered June 1.  I bought 11 tarts, and received the large Hall of Mirrors cake free!  I really like the range of scents, and find they are strongest if you dont use them when you first receive them.  This is a little annoying, but apparently they need time to ‘cure’.  I like the scents enough to put up with it.

Tarts cost $3.75, and she also offers some other products.  I have tried the scrubs, and love them.  I always use it before shaving my legs for a smoother shave.  You can purchase these items here, as she has a lot listed as of the time of posting.  Happy shopping!

Face Mask

I’m sure you can tell by now how much I love face masks.  They are relaxing, and I love the way they make my skin feel.  I tried a new one tonight, because after all this travelling, my skin does not love me.

I will not buy this one again.  It has a strong perfume smell that I dislike, and when I washed it off and applied my normal moisturizer, it burnnnnnnned.  So if you see this at Ulta, which is where I picked it up, go for the Tea Tree Oil one instead!
