First PinchMe box

I was lucky enough to get some samples! Finally!! Anyways, that was a month ago and I still have not received my samples. I'm going to wait to 6 weeks and then I will really get worried. I hope I get them because there were a lot of cool things that I definitely want to try!

*** Update** *

 I got my samples!!! Yay! It was so exciting. haha. I was starting to wonder if this was real. Anyways, I got my PINCHme box and it was full of goodies.

I'm going to have so many box options for Christmas presents this year! Anyways, this was a good amount of samples! It included:

-2 Gold Bond healing lotions

-Mini Splenda tablets

-Luzianne pour and stir tea sample

-Shea Moisture baby shampoo & lotion

-2 coupons for Method laundry detergent

- Garden Goddess Natural Sunscreen

-1 Olay Cooling White Strawberry & Mint Body Wash + $1 off coupon

- A $100 wind voucher if you spend at last $160.

 

 

I've used quite a few of these already and I just received this a few days ago! My reviews on their website are due soon anyways.

 

Gold Bond Lotion-  I really liked this but one of the things that didn't make it great, was that it is really greasy. I tried rubbing and rubbing and still, there was a lot of grease residue for a long time. I couldn't use my cell phone because it left smudges all over! It is really thick, which made my hands really soft. It worked really well too because they still feel soft today. So besides the grease part, I really like this so far. 

Shea Moisture baby shampoo & lotion- I actually don't have any kids, so I'm not sure why this was an option for me. I have heard a lot of good things about this and that adults use it themselves. So I asked for it and I used it. I love it!! It smells amazing and I love that it is all natural and organic. I'm not a bit natural/organic must have person. I just thought that this was a great, considering that it smells so good and works so well.

Olay Body Wash- I've used Olay for many years. I use that and a couple others, depending on the time of year and sales. I was really excited to get a decent sized sample of this. I really like it so far. It smells amazing and my skin feels soft and hydrated.

$100 wine voucher- I actually didn't think we would use this. My husband saw it and checked out their website and decided to try the $160 12 pack of wine. Their are some wines that sound so good and we can't wait to try! It was a pretty good deal because it also included shipping with tracking!

Mini Splenda Tablets- These are so handy! I will always be able to order my sweet tea at restaurants now. I hate when they don't have sweet tea but now I can make my own! It only took a tablet or two for it to provide the sweet great taste in my tea. They are really handy and you can carry them in your purse.

Luzianne pour and stir tea- This tea taste just like it's home brewed!! My husband doesn't care for tea that much and he really liked it. It doesn't taste too sweet or not natural. It is really good and we used up this sample in one day. I will be buying this product in the future!

Garden Goddess Natural Sunscreen- This product, I did not like that much. It definitely worked to keep me protected from the sun when I was out but I didn't like the application. When I opened it there was a big mess because it just poured out of the tube. The actual product is a liquid, which I did not like. When I applied it, my arms looked so white and it took a lot of rubbing to get it to blend into my skin. I just didn't like that. So I will not purchase this product in the future.


This was an amazing PINCHme box and I cannot wait to get more in the future. What a great thing to do! Try products before to decide if you want to purchase. Love this!

May Glam Bag from Ipsy!

I got my bag a couple days ago and I'm so excited. I have only been able to try one thing so far. There's also a few things that I've learned from Ipsy this month.

First, I received my bellapierre gel eye liner with the tip completely broken off and stuck in the lid. I was pretty bummed about it but wasn't sure if Ipsy would do anything. They have a guarantee on their website that you will receive all your items and they will replace anything that is damaged/broken. So I emailed them and got a response within the next hour! They have sent an order to replace my eye liner at no charge. So awesome! Fast responses and easy customer service are awesome.

Second, I asked if they would be doing a little something extra for birthday months and the answer is No. :( I tried though! haha!

So here is a picture of my bag.

 

 

First of all, I love the bag! There were three options and I was hoping this would be the one I got.

I have these items:

-Bellapierre gel eye liner

- Briogeo Rosarco Milk Leave-in Conditioner

- Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Lip Pencil + Bonus two sample lip glosses

-Aime: Morning Dew Matte-Finish Moisturizer

-Luxie Beauty: Tapered blending eye brush

 

 

This is the item that I received broken. They have sent me a replacement but it sure is taking it's time to get here. I finally got my replacement but it was about 2 weeks later. I did like it though. It is a thicker tip and so it's a bit more difficult to apply. I think I just need to practice with it. So far, so good though. I really like this and so glad they replaced the broken one!

 

I did not care for this. I had to use half the bottle yesterday and it didn't really do much for my hair. I have thicker hair and sometimes products just don't work. This was one of them. It smelled okay and it did make my soft but only for a short time. My hair became frizzy and a bit of a mess after a while. I will try it again to use the sample but I wasn't impressed.

 

 

Love, love this! I was so excited to get this in my bag. It also came with two lip glosses and I have tried the purple. I actually like it a lot better then I thought I would. Anyways, the lip liner is awesome and goes on so smoothly. It kept my lipstick nice and even throughout the day. I did apply it after work and before going out again but that's not too bad. I'm going to try putting it down under my lipstick and see how long it will last. So far, I really love this!

 

 

Was not impressed with this. I've tried a few moisturizers and this one didn't seem to do much for me. I put it on after my shower in the morning and didn't apply make up that day. I was hoping for my face to feel a bit refreshed but instead it felt oily and that was not a good feeling. I don't even know that I'll use the rest of this sample.

 

 

 

Beauty tools are cool. For me a lot of eye brushes are kind of the same. I received an eye brush two months ago and this one is really similar. I liked it and will definitely be getting a lot of use out of it.

 

 

 

 

Product Revew: Sally Hansen Gel Nail Polish

So.. I love nail polish. I own too many to count and always want to try the latest thing.. on a budget. So usually, I wait until something new goes clearance. It really doesn't take that long. I've heard mixed reviews about the Sally Hansen Gel Nail polish. Well a bottle of a blue that I've been wanting, went on clearance for $2.98 at Target. What. Yes! I love Target. 

Anyways, this is what my nails look like after less than a week on! 

It did not take them long at all to chip. The very next day they started chipping. I also did my nails hours before bed and it just took too long to dry. I had some creases in my nails from when I sleep on my stomach. My nails feel like there's just a big plastic coating and it doesn't feel very comfortable. I do not like this product and do not recommend it! So glad that I only bought one color instead of a few, like I was going to do. The regular price for this polish is $10 and it's not worth it at all. It's a shame because I love Sally Hansen products. Not worth the money here.. not even the $3 clearance price!

Second Bzzagent Campaign!

 

 

So, I got my second Bzzagent Campaign shortly after my first one! I'm so excited that I got to try out Neutrogena Anti-Residue Shampoo. I've used it once for three weeks and the results are awesome. My hair needs less product when it's dry and it looks so much shinier and healthier. It just feels lighter and bouncier. I know, I have a lot of the "ier" words. haha. It really does work though! I'll have more to say after my campaigning is over!

So I have used this product for about a month and a half now. I will not be able to go without this product once it runs out. It's a new step in my beauty routine. I use it just once a week and the difference was amazing. My hair feels healthier and lighter the next day. There is more shine and I feel like I don't have to put any product in my hair to keep it from being crazy and unruly. This anti-residue really does help bring the bounce back in your hair. You will feel the difference just after one use. When your hair feels soft and lovely, thank this product! I recommend this for sure. These thoughts and my opinions are my own and receiving it free, has in no way, influenced my opinion.
