    Target Beauty Box May 2017

    This post is coming at you later than usual because like I mentioned in my Sephora post for May – I was busy during the month of May haha. But here we are nonetheless and I’m so excited about this box! After two boxes from April, we’re back down to one Target Beauty Box for May. I actually didn’t look at spoilers for this month so I was completely surprised when I opened the box…and I’m happy to say that it was definitely a pleasant surprise!!! Target Beauty Box Cost: $5-10 – this month’s was $10 Frequency: Monthly, but you have to…

    Sephora Play! May 2017

    Today I have my review of Sephora Play! for the month of May 2017! I know this is really late, but I was busy in May….lol AND this is actually going to be my last Sephora box review, at least for a while…because I CANCELLED my subscription!!! 😮 I know, it’s shocking! I’ll explain all about why I made that decision later in this post. But for now, here’s this month’s box! I noticed that the inside cover of the box had a little message on it this month – I see you stepping it up with the little details, Sephora. Sephora…

    My Skincare Routine

    During my time as a beauty-obsessed person, I’ve become more and more interested in skin care and creating a nice “base” for my makeup. In the past I had basically no skin care routine and now I cringe thinking back on those days! Nowadays my skin has a few issues every now and then but it’s pretty smooth sailing overall, and I definitely attribute that at least in part to having a good routine. This post is something I almost hesitate to write, because I don’t want it to come across like I think I’m some skin care expert… let me…

    Sephora Play! April 2017

    Welcome to another beauty box review! Today we are talking about this month’s Sephora Play! Sephora Play! Cost: $10 Frequency: Monthly, renews automatically Type of products: 5 deluxe samples of skincare and makeup (more makeup than any other box I subscribe to!) and one fragrance sample Reviews from my previous boxes here! This month’s theme for the box was “step it up!” As usual I do not really know what the theme means but at least they didn’t do another glowy/all-highlighter box haha. This month’s bag reminds me a bit of the Wendy’s girl: The resemblance is there. But the bag also…

    Target Beauty Boxes April 2017

    Welcome to another beauty box review!! Today we are looking at this month’s Target Beauty Boxes. Just like they did back in January, Target released two different beauty boxes for April. But this time, it was a bit different – this month there was a regular beauty box and a “naturals” box! The Naturals box contains (obviously) products from more natural brands with less harsh ingredients. Each box this month cost $7 and both contained a pretty good variety of products. Target Beauty Box Cost: $5-10 Frequency: Monthly, but it’s not a typical subscription box – you have to remember to order…

    Walmart Beauty Box Spring 2017

    This is going to be the first of many beauty box posts in the next week or so, because they all arrived within 2 days of each other this month…so get ready! I decided to start with the Walmart Beauty Box, because (spoiler alert)….it’s the most disappointing one haha but let me not get ahead of myself – here’s the Walmart Beauty Box for spring: Walmart Beauty Box Cost: $5 – the box’s premise is that you pay the $5 for shipping, and the “samples” are free Frequency: Quarterly subscription Type of products: Deluxe samples mostly, sometimes foil samples. Mostly body and shower…

    Empties December 2016-March 2017

    If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you might remember when I did Empties posts every month for all the products I’d finished that month. I stopped doing them at the start of this year because I figured it’s a bit uninteresting to read about what someone else has used up…but I’ve always said that I want to write this blog as much for myself as I do for others. And I like to look back and see what I’ve used up and remember what did and didn’t work! So since I’ve been holding on to the past few months’ worth…

    Target Beauty Box March 2017

    After skipping last month’s Target box due to my February no buy, I’m back at it this month with the Target Beauty Box for March! As you can see, it’s sporting a bright new look with a white box instead of the usual black. If you’re not familiar with the Target Beauty Box, you can see some of my other reviews here to get an idea. It’s a monthly box from Target that’s not exactly a subscription box – you have to go and buy it each month. This can be good if you want to skip a month, or bad…

    Friday Favorites #7 – 3/3

    Welcome to my first Friday Favorites for the month of March! I can’t believe we are already in MARCH 2017…this year is going by so fast! Here’s my favorite things from this week: Trolls Just like when I wrote about Titanic a few weeks ago, I’m gonna start off with this so I can get it out of the way quickly and everyone can make fun of me right away haha. One of my friends brought in Trolls to work for us to watch in the break room. At first I thought it was going to be super dumb but HONESTLY it is so…

    Macy’s Spa Set Review – $90 Value?

    Today I have a bit of a different review, but I’m putting it in the beauty boxes category because it’s a set of beauty items and it arrived in a box….haha This is the Macy’s 8 Piece Spa Gift Set: This is basically just a gift set of a bunch of different “spa” products. I originally saw it on My Subscription Addiction where they posted that it was marked down from $25 to $12.50. It has 6 deluxe samples of skin products, a headband and a bag. I was intrigued because it says this is a $90 value…………we’ll see about that *detective emoji*…
