A Birthday Gift From Starlooks!

I was thinking the other day about why subscription boxes are so much fun, and I decided it's because I like getting gifts from myself every month.  I mean, I work hard.  I deserve to get pampered with gifts to me from me.  I'm already a mother to three cats, and I have to supervise like seventeen people at work, and it is all very stressful (hee hee).  Who else is looking out for me?  Starlooks!  They sent me a free birthday surprise!  (By the way, today is my birthday!) 

Surprise!

BaubleBar July Monthly Makeover!

Hi there!  I got FOUR packages in the mail the other day.  FOUR!  Best mail day ever!  I don't have time to share everything right now, but I do want to share my thoughts on the BaubleBar Monthly Makeover box!  Um, I took a lot of pictures of this one. 

I love pretty packaging!

July Ipsy 'Beach Beauty'

Hello, Internet!  My Ipsy Glam Bag arrived earlier than both of my coworkers' this month.  Say whaaaat?  The theme for July is "Beach Beauty."  Let's have a look!

NOTD: SinfulShine by SinfulColors 'Come Hither'

Hi there!  Today I am showing you Come Hither, from my Influenster Sunkissed VoxBox.  Come Hither is a bright pink crème from SinfulColors' new line, SinfulShine.  SinfulShine With Gel Tech includes 32 shades that are sold exclusively at Walgreens for a limited time only.  These retail for $2.99, about a dollar more than SinfulColors, but I imagine these will go on sale often as the SinfulColors are on BOGO all the time!  Come Hither was absolutely free for me because it was provided by Influenster for me to try.

The Influenster Sunkissed VoxBox is Here!

Hey guys!  I hope you are having a good first weekend of this summer!  The Sunkissed VoxBox from Influenster was in my mailbox when I got home from the flea market today.  Talk about perfect timing!  Unfortunately, it has been cloudy all day so I have no pretty "sunkissed" photos of the box.  Anyways, here are some indoor with flash photos and some first impressions of the Influenster Sunkissed VoxBox!   

I couldn't get a decent pic of the entire box, so here is the postcard!

June Ipsy Review... In Bed!

I am writing this month's Ipsy review from my bed because I didn't want to get out of it today.  Except to check the mail.  And my Ipsy bag was in my mailbox!  So I got back in bed and opened everything.  Check it out!

Free 'Cosmopolitan' Subscription

Surprise!  I'm back!  Thanks to everybody that has stuck with me through my two-and-a-half week hiatus.  I wish I could tell you I was doing something really cool, but I was just at work every day, all day.  And it SUCKED.  Anyways, to reward you for sticking around, I am posting a link for seven free issues of Cosmo!

It's Miley, bitches.  She can't be tamed!  Hide your children!

Free Stuff is Fun, Part 2!

Hi there!  I came home on Thursday and had a surprise from Proctor and Gamble in my mailbox!  Well, not a surprise really, because I obviously signed up to receive this at some point, but I totally forgot about it! 


Samplez.

Free 'Beautiful Day' Sample at B&BW!

Hey guys!  When I am not at work or at home, I practically live at Bath and Body Works.  Really, one of my favorite games is to guess which smell someone is wearing when they walk past me at the mall.  I also go over there and educate all of their employees on B&BW scents of yesteryear such as Rich Citrus Cream and now (RIP) Forever Sunshine.  I claimed this Facebook offer to pick up a sample of their newest scent Beautiful Day, but I did not share it here because it was ending on the same day I got my offer.  Well it looks like this offer has been extended through Friday the 8th, so now I will share!
 

It was a beautiful day outside, so I ran out to the parking lot to photograph Beautiful Day!

From the Bath and Body Works website:

 

A fragrance as beautiful as the perfect spring day! Fragrance skin with a bright blend of sun-kissed apples, wild daisies and fresh pink peonies.

• Top: Sun-kissed Apple, Dewy Pear, Sparkling Cassis
• Mid: Wild Daisies, Lily of the Valley, Fresh Pink Peony
• Dry: White Peach, Blonde Woods, Creamy Musk

Seriously, this is a NICE sample!  The size is 0.24 fl oz, much larger than the little vials you can get at Sephora.  I really like the scent, and I can't wait to sniff the rest of the product line for Beautiful Day.  I can definitely smell pear in this; if you ever smelled Charmed Life at B&BW, it kind of smells similar.  I've read online that some folks thinks it smells like Tommy Girl and DKNY Be Delicious, which I could sort of see.  Beautiful Day reminds me of something from my childhood though, but I can't figure it out.  I want to say it smells like some kind of Barbie lip gloss I had or something like that... which is a good thing!  This is a $7.00 value.  Hurry up and go get your free sample of Beautiful Day!  (Here is a link again to the offer!)

Smell you next time!

February Ipsy Glam Bag

Wow!  I can't believe it's time for another Ipsy Glam Bag!  And what a difference a month makes!  I've been enjoying the heck out of my January Ipsy Glam Bag, but the February bag sucks. Sorry to put it so bluntly, but this one was just not a good month. 

Oops.  I forgot to put the mascara in this picture.

Kendall Won a Kindle!

Yep, that's right, I totally won an Amazon Kindle, and a TON of other stuff, this morning!  I entered a giveaway last week during the premiere of The Carrie Diaries on the CW.  And I won the GRAND PRIZE!  That's so crazy!

Holy crap.

My January ipsy Bag Has Arrived!

Happy Monday, everybody!  Don't you just love it when you get awesome surprises in the mail?  Especially on a Monday?  Well, I guess this wasn't really a surprise because I looked at all the spoilers online, but I just couldn't help myself.  January's ipsy bag is fabulous!

Influenster Holiday VoxBox 2012

HAPPY NEW YEAR!  This year is going to be a good one... I already know I'm going to see the Deftones in March and Depeche Mode sometime in the fall.  Yesssssss!  I feel like it's been forever since I've been to a concert.  Anyways, I'm here to talk about my Influenster VoxBox that I received a couple days before Christmas!

Goody QuikStyle Brush, Kiss Nail Dress, NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine, EBOOST powder, Quaker Real Medleys Oatmeal, $25 off Sole Society purchase also included.

The December Ipsy Glam Bag is Awesome!

Hey guys!  I got my ipsy Glam Bag earlier this week, and once again, I am really pleased.  I'm still continuing my Julep Maven subscription with hesitation, but I KNOW I'm getting my ten dollars' worth every month with ipsy.  Stop everything you are doing and become a subscriber now if you are not already!  I only snapped one picture after I opened this, but I think you get the idea.  Check it out...

 

"Haute Holiday" is this month's theme.

My First Ipsy Bag!

Hey guys!  Sorry about the make-up heavy posts lately, but here's another!  I signed up last month for the ipsy glam bag, and my first one came today!  Ipsy is a subscription service and online community started by Michelle Phan (she makes really popular make-up tutorials on YouTube).  It only costs $10 a month and cancelling is easy. Every bag is supposed to come with at least two full sized items and then a couple deluxe samples.  When I saw that the last two months each came with a full sized nail polish, I immediately signed up.  And if it really comes with two full sized products every month then I think it's worth it.   Plus, don't we all love getting mystery packages in the mail?  Here's what came in my first bag!



It came in a pretty pink bubble envelope with some other offers.

Free $5 Amazon MP3 Credit!

Hey guys!  I don't want to try and sound like I'm trying to sell you stuff.  Cause I'm not.  Except maybe on tomorrow's post.  Ha ha.  But I do like to share how to get FREE stuff.  Right now, you can sign up for Scott Shared Values and receive a $5 credit for Amazon MP3 downloads!  Just go to this website  to sign up.  You will have to answer a short survey about what Scott products you use, but I promise you this is not one of those offers where you will receive a bunch of spam emails or phone calls.  You can even uncheck the box to receive emails from them.  That's what I did, and the only email I got was my promotional code to get my MP3s!




This girl's totally jamming out on the couch, just like meeee!

Free Stuff is FUN!

Hey guys!  I've had really good luck this past week scoring some FREE stuff mainly by using offers I found online.  I know sample sizes aren't a big deal to some people, but I am on a tight budget and can rarely afford to try new products.  I got the Target Beauty Bag by "liking" their Facebook page during the giveway.  I also used Facebook to claim an offer on Bath and Body Works for a free mini candle!



Free haul.
