Ipsy- April 2015

Hey all! I just thought I would come on here and show you what I got in this month's Ipsy bag!

These are the five products that were in my Ipsy bag. I will post what I feel about them in a later post. I just wanted to share with you the goodies I got! If you are subscribed to Ipsy, I would love to know what you got in your bag!

First Aid Kit- Review

I believe first aid kits are a necessity in every household. I'm accident prone and I always carry a first aid kit with me. I received this kit at a reduced price for review purposes.

This kit is very lightweight. It has two handles at the top for easy carrying and it can be placed anywhere, for example, your glove box, kitchen, bathroom, linen closet.

The kit opens and closes with a zipper. When you unzip it, it will revel 4 different pockets. Two small pockets and two large pockets. Both are filled to the brim with everything you need to be prepared.

Left side of the first aid kit. This contains small scissors, plastic tweezers, q-tips, bandages, and much more.

Right side of the kit. Contains emergency blanket, gauze, lightstick, gloves, instant cold compress, and others.

Overall, I think this is a great kit to have. You never know what can happen. It is better to be prepared than not be prepared.

Dumpster Dive haul!

Ever heard of dumpster diving? If not, it's the best thing ever! Dumpster diving is pretty much self-explanatory..getting inside a dumpster! I have been doing this since the beginning of this year and have found so much goodies!

Here's a snippet of what I recently found!

Yes, this was ALL inside of a dumpster. I was so happy when I saw all of this sitting inside the dumpster :)

The inside of one of the boxes. They do this on purpose. Sad face. But it is all salvageable!

March 2015 favorites!

Hey all! This is my first ever favorites post! I have seen a lot of people do videos/blog posts of this, so I thought I would too! I love checking other's favorites because it opens my eyes to new (or new to me) products that I can try out as well.

My first favorite is from the brand Simple. This is my first time using their wipes. I bought these a while ago when there was a good sale going on with coupons. I have tried other Simple items before, but they left my skin dry and itchy. When I was using these cleansing wipes, I experience the opposite! The wipes left my skin soft, with no irritation!

I love trying new makeup items. I am a drugstore makeup kind of gal since drugstore items fall in my budget. I usually don't spend a ton of money on higher, expensive brands. It's once in a blue moon that I will splurge on a high end makeup item. I never owned anything Tarte until I discovered treasure hunting! AKA dumpster diving. Yes, I did find this in a box that was inside of a store dumpster. It is very shocking and surprising to see what retail stores throw away. This Tarte Precision Longwear Liner retails for $20. I personally would rather spend the $20 on gas than an eyeliner. I did sanitize this thoroughly and it was good as new! It goes on smoothly and stays on all day/night!

ELF makeup is one of my favorites! I think the best part about this is that I bought it at my local Dollar Tree! Most ELF items range from $1-$5, which falls perfectly in my budget! I love all the colors that are in this eyeshadow quad. You really can't see it in the photo, but the black shadow at the end, is my most used! Reason is that I use the shadow to fill in my brows! The color matches them perfectly and I use a small concealer brush to apply. I love how my eyebrows look after I apply this.

  Aussie 3 Minute Miracle is my holy grail. Hands down. I have thick, wavy hair. I have tried about everything that is out on the market for my hair type. Most of them do not pass, but Aussie has been the top dog. I love that it is inexpensive and in the end, it leaves my hair soft and manageable. It also gives my hair a good scent to it!
