Coming right on the heels of the Target Beauty Box Analysis post, I have this month’s Target box review!! Target Beauty Box Cost: $5-10 – this month’s was $7 (I think?) Frequency: Monthly, but you have to order it each time. I get emails from My Subscription Addiction to remind me when each box goes on sale! Type of products: Deluxe samples and sometimes full sized versions of beauty products Reviews from my previous boxes here! This month’s theme was “Routine”. My interpretation is that people are getting back into the routine of things with school starting up again – not that that’s really relevant to…

What’s In My Travel Makeup Bag
A few weeks ago you may recall my post about what I packed in my travel toiletry bag for our Pittsburgh trip last month. Today I’m bringing you my second travel-themed “what’s in my bag” post with everything that I keep in my travel makeup bag!! This is JUST the makeup that I brought with me for traveling – all of my skin care, makeup wipes, and other liquid stuff like that was in my toiletry bag 🙂 First I’ll start with the bag itself. This is the Sephora “Vacationer” travel makeup bag: I actually first saw this recommended in…

Analysis of a Beauty Box: Target
After getting a bunch of really kind and supportive responses for my last Beauty Box Analysis post, I’m super excited to write a second one!! This time I’m going to be covering the Target Beauty Box 🙂 First off, of course, if you haven’t already checked out my Target Beauty Box reviews, you can do so here! In my Sephora post, I had been subscribed to the box for a year, so I had 12 boxes’ worth of products to analyze and compare. I only started getting Target boxes in October of 2016 (and missed a month back in February…

All About Ebates
Today I have a continuation of my “series” about websites you can use to get free stuff or cash for reviews. Previously I wrote about Influenster, BzzAgent, and Pinecone Research. This one is different – it’s the first non-review site I’ve written about, and instead it focuses on cash back for your purchases. Today we’re talking about Ebates! (Edit from the future: you can click here to see all my similar posts about saving money and getting free stuff!) Ebates is a site I actually learned about from my mom, and she’s been using it for ages so I know…

Battle of the Beauty Blenders
Today’s post is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time! I’ve always been curious about comparing different products that are similar in style or function. Makeup sponges a la the Beauty Blender are definitely one of those things!! There’s so much hype around the different sponges and whether they’re “worth it” and now that I own….several….of these sponges, I felt like it was time to officially compare them all. In total, I currently own 16 different makeup sponges: Beauty Blender Original Beauty Blender Pro Beauty Blender Nude EcoTools Perfecting Blender Duo Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge Real Techniques…

Zenni Optical Review
If you follow me on instagram you’ll know that I got new glasses the other day!! This isn’t my typical type of “review” post, but I’m so obsessed with my new glasses and the website I got them from that I wanted to write about it. I’ve been wearing glasses since about 2nd grade so…I’ve been through more than a couple of pairs in my lifetime. This time, I ordered my glasses from a site called Zenni Optical. This isn’t the first time I’ve ordered from Zenni. I got new glasses about 2 years ago from the site and they’re…
