BZZAGENT!

YAY! Finally, a BzzAgent campaign! My last one was cancelled, and I have been waiting for what seems like forever. BzzAgent is a lot of work for a freebie/coupon hag. You basically need to check daily and take ALL QUIZZES OFFERED. Anyways, I got Dr Scholl's DreamWalk High Heal Insoles. Now that I work retail- I will definitely be giving these a test. They seem soft, but also see reaaallly thick. I will keep you all posted. In the mean time- check out BzzAgent and get in on a campaign! Oh and coupons! They always send coups!

Sample Source freebies

I got my quarterly Sample Source box....and it was great! Before I go on, if you happen to be in Canada- GO SIGN UP. Their box is always amazing and stuffed to the brim.....Now, the US box----

-Breathe Right Strips-- I have yet to try them, but look forward to seeing how they handle my sinus issues once my allergies kick in 100%
- Colgate Toothbrush-- Scotty is trying this now, and he looooves it. It is soft and works well. Plus the packaging is great.
-  Tums Chewy Delights in Smooth Peppermint-- I had tried these before in cherry and loved them. These are ok, but I like the fruit flavor more. And yes, they help :)
- Tums Freshers-- I was already a fan of these and welcomed more, these are great for heartburn via spicy food.
-Garnier Fructis Damage Eraser Kit- I will be trying this out next week (spoilers--it will be in my empties VIDEO that will be posted soon)

Sample Source does not ask for reviews or social media postings, which makes it a great freebie source....check it out! Sign up now, and next quarter you will be on the list to request samples.

GRAZE BOX!

I started a new subscription...and am in love! Graze Box sends you snacks based on a profile you create. You also get to wade through their snack list and select what you would like to try or what you would never want. Another plus is that you select how often it arrives. I have mine set for every other week...at six bucks a pop it is still cheaper at twice a month than most other monthly boxes.

So yeah, I am basically head over stomach for this box.

If you get a chance- check it out. Not only for you, but for the good causes it supports. :)

 GRAZE IT!

 

ive missed you!

Sorry for the delay in posts. I have been super busy. Expect an Ipsy, freebies, and more coming in the next few days!

Sampley, Samples....

 

Klout... I have raved and raved about that site. Seriously, you have a fb, ig, twitter, or any social media page- you should have signed up by now.

McDonald's Arch Card- I feel like they send one out every month :)

Garnier Clean Balancing Daily Exfoliator- This was either a Walmart or Target freebie.

Jergens BB Body- This product confuses me bc the color goes away...so what is it? A lotion that does nothing but seems like it isn't sinking in and could stain like tanning lotion? Or is it a BB cream that makes your skin look good for one day?

 

Nature's Bounty Hair, Skin, Nails Gummies With Biotin- I have been looking for a Biotin product, so if these are good then I will be using that dollar off coup :)

Sundown Naturals Adult Multivitamin, Gluten-Free Gummies- I'll try them, but probably wont buy.

My first ipsy!!!! I am in love!!

Let's start with a quick subscription box update.... I cancelled sample society. I had to. I ended up getting a Murad cleanser with my final box, and I was excited. I took it to use in the shower and when squeezed it out, it was barely coming our/smelled funny/looked yellow. I used it, because I know that many cleansers have an odor due to the ingredients. When I put it on my face, my face started burning. After rinsing it off, I tried to squeeze more out to look at it and it was still barely coming out. Once I unscrewed the lid, I discovered that there was a faulty seal on the product. This seal had a rust colored growth on it. I was disgusted. I know that I just got a bad product, but it icked me out sooo much that I cancelled. I would still recommend the subscription bc the value is there.

After that bad time, I decided to give ipsy try. Well, that was a home run. When I first began to look for a subscription box a little over a year ago- ipsy was under a different name, and all of the reviews were negative. Even though I was still nervous about the bag quality when I signed up last month, I did it. The unboxings on youtube def swayed that decision. I am glad I through caution to the went and subscribed.

For you that dont know, to subscribe you take part in a pyramid scheme like program. You sign up, hop in queue....to progress on that queue and receive a bag subscription, you need to get another friend to sign up. Once they have, they get in the queue and have to get another person to sign up. After typing that out, it seems more like the plot to the ring....

Anywas, I lucked out and two people used my code ( CLICK HERE FOR IPSY! ) within an hour of me signing up...Which meant---- I GOT THIS FUCKING AMAZEBALLS BAG O' MINIS SWAG

This is the bag I received, and it was the only downer in the whole subscription... it stunk. Like cheap, nonrated plastic and rubber. :(

ANNNNDDDD this is what I received inside.... A Cailyn lip balm, Benefit's Loli Tint, Kiss Lashes, City Color White Gold Shadow & Highlight Mousse, and Urban Decay's 24/7 Velvet eyeliner.


I love it all.

Loli Tint.... it reminds me of the color of the year- radiant orchid
Cailyn... this is ok, though I wish it wasnt hot pink. I do like the color and it will be great for hombre lips, but it stains your skin and lips quickly, which means hot pink around your mouth.
Kiss Lashes.... I am not sure about these. Comfy and soft with great shape- but too sparse.
City Color Shadow & Highlight Mousse... I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS. It will be a great base and a great highlighter. Long lasting, and a wonderfully nonobnoxious metallic sheen.
Urban Decay Liner- I have one of the regular 24/7s- and they last forever! My zero pencil is almost gone, so I am excited to not need to buy a replacement.

Influenster UniVoxBox

Another VoxBox, another set of things to try. Here is a glimpse into the UniVoxBox and a review of a few of the items.....

 This box included a pen, press on nails, tea drops, tampons, foundation, and lipstick.

 The Acroball pen by Pilot writes very smooth and reminds me of the uniball gel pens.

I am very glad that I got the Earl Grey flavor of Red Rose Real Tea Drops. I haven't tried this yet, but I am an avid tea drinker and am excited to use them. It can be used with cold or hot water.

Per usual with VoxBoxes, I got a set of ImPress stick on nails. I have yet to try any of the ones I have received (I believe this is my third or fourth set), but I do like the length and color.

 Playtex Sport Tampons (Fresh Balance). Hmmm. I am a pearl girl myself, but always willing to try new things. The packaging is ok- it reminds me of Tampax Pearls, but with a more awkward tab system (they are very small). The smell of 'freshness' is also off putting. Thankfully, once unpackaged it subsides a lot. This would be a great tampon for someone who is either a virgin or is new to their periods. Why? because of the shape, it is definatley user friendly.

Stay Matte foundation by Rimmel in 010 Light Porcelain. This image is with flash and the color is a good match....HOWEVER.... it is hard to blend and sinks in/goes away quickly. This leaves you with splotchy makeup.

NYC Lipstick. Wow, the quality is pretty fucking good. I was surprised. Moisturizing, long wearing, and amazingly pigmented. I will be
buying other shades.





Well, there you go. The Influenster UniVoxBox 2014....oh and sorry about the sideways images :)
