Week 5/18 couponing trip

This week is full of awesome couponing deals! This trip includes Walgreens, Target, and CVS. If I were to pay retail, this would of cost around $42.xx, but I got all of this for less than $20! I love couponing for items that are a necessity and I love getting them for close to nothing!

In fact, three of the Playtex sport liners were actually a money maker! The Tresemme shampoo and conditioner were less than $2 each after coupons!

May 2015 Ipsy unbagging

Ello everyone! Today, I will share what I got in my May Ipsy bag! If you don't know what Ipsy is, it's a subscription bag for $10/month and you get 4-5 deluxe to full size products in your bag, plus you get a cute bag every month!

I really love this month's bag! I have only been subscribed to Ipsy for three months and I really enjoy getting new things to try every month! My bag pretty much describes my life, because makeup is pretty important stuff! I've seen these bags at Sephora and always thought they were so cute. I was very happy to find out that we were going to get one of three designs of the Breakups to Makeup bags.

Bag retails for $24 at Sephora 

 

First thing in my bag is Urban Decay Revolution High-Color Lipgloss. It came with two bubble samples of the High-Color lipgloss in the colors Failbait and Bittersweet. It also came with a 24/7 Glide On lip primer which applies invisible and helps your lip color stay on. 

Full size retails for $16

0.8 oz sample size retails for $4.57

 Second item in my bag is a full size Bella Pierre Gel eyeliner in Ebony. I've never heard of Bella Pierre cosmetics and I swatched the gel eye liner and it applies easy and smooth. I'm excited to try this out! 

Full size retails $14.99

Next item is Pixi by Petra bronzer in the color Summertime. This is my second Pixi by Petra item I received through Ipsy. Personally, I don't wear bronzer that much, but I'm willing to try this out. 

Full size $18

0.16 deluxe size $8

Next, I received Alterna haircare CC Cream. Once again, never heard of Alterna haircare and never heard of CC cream for the hair! I haven't tried this out yet since I'm not a fan of leave in hair products. 

Full size $39

0.85 oz $6.50

Last item in my bag is Peter Lamas Detoxifying Citrus C Facial Cleanser. If you know me, you would know that I love trying out new facial cleansers. I'm always on the prowl for new skin care items and I can't wait to try this and see how it works out!

Full size $24

1 oz sample $6

April Favorites 2015!

I can't believe we're already into a week of May! Which means summer is right around the corner and I cannot wait!

Here are my favorites for the month of April! :)

Ponds Cleansing Cloths are my holy graillll. These cloths take off everything and I love that they don't irritate my skin. I love to stock up on these when there is a good deal!

I have dry skin and this Advance Healing ointment from CVS is something I always reached for in the month of April. I had a nasty face demon and obviously, I can't stop picking my face and it turned out worse. I applied this in its final stages of healing, and it left me no acne scar! Which I was so happy to see because I tend to get very bad scars if I pick at a pimple a lot. 

Another pimple fighter! I love to use this as a spot treatment. If I feel a zit coming in, I like to apply this and then let it go to work!

I received this little guy in my April Ipsy bag and I fell in love with it! I wear a lot of nude and neutral colors so this is a perfect addition to my collection! It's a cooper like color with just the right amount of shimmer.

I always always have to apply liquid eyeliner. It's one of my favorite makeup items and I can't leave the house without it. I've never tried Palladio products so I gave this eye marker a chance! I love how thick it is so you can hold it easily. I love this liquid eyeliner a lot and will repurchase it when it runs out.

Well, I'm finally on the ABH band wagon. I find a lot of these when I dumpster dive. I'm not sure why because I thought ABH was a high end brand. I used powder to fill in my brows, but recently, I have been using the brow wiz instead. I like to use this with a steady hand and a little goes a long way. It definitely helps filling in eyebrows much more faster than powder in my opinion!

I am obsessed with eye primers. Why? I'm not sure why. I bought this around December of last year and haven't used or touched it since last month. I love the creaminess of this primer and how long my eye makeup stays. Also, it's from an affordable brand and it only cost me $4.99 at Walgreens! 

Stay tuned for next month to see what my May favorites are!

April 2015 Ipsy unbagging!

Hello loves! I am back with another unbagging post..again! Ipsy is the only subscription service I am subscribed to, but I do want to subscribed to another..I just don't know which one! There are so many out there!

Anyway, Ipsy is $10/month, which gives you around 4-5 deluxe and sometimes full size samples! It's like Christmas every month!

Starlooks lipgloss: First, let me say...I am not a big fan of lipgloss. I don't like the stickyness that leaves behind on your lips. This lipgloss has shimmer and is a color that I personally would not wear. The full size retails for $13.00

Hey Honey Good Morning honey silk facial serum: I loved this! I used this both day and night. I enjoyed the lightly scent of honey that it has and it absorbed quickly. There was no sticky residue afterwards. 

Full size retails for $41.00

Nude Dude mini nude eyeshadow: I have always always, ALWAYS wanted to try the Balm prodcuts. When I found out that we were getting a eyeshadow from the Balm in our Ipsy bags, I was soo happy! I've had my eyes on the Nude Dude palette for so long, I am not sure why I haven'y bought it yet! In my Ipsy bag, I received the color "Fit" It's the perfect color for me since I love nudes and neutrals. It's a copper like color and has the right amount of shimmer. 

Nude Dude palette retails for $36.00

Jor'eal Parker Femina: I really love the smell of this perfume. It's a rollerball and it's the perfect size to carry with you anywhere! Notes: Meyer Lemon, White Grapefruit, Satsuma Mandarin, Summer Forsythia, Pink Plumeria, Wild Verbena, Tahitian Vanilla, Sensual Musk.

Full size retails for $55.00

Hikari blush in the shade Tango: When you first join Ipsy, you will take a quiz to see what products work for you. Well, I told Ipsy that I never wear blush...and this came in my bag. Uhm..okay. I honestly have no use for this and I think I will give it away to a friend.

Retails for $15.00

Well, that is what I all had in my April Ipsy bag! Ipsy already gave sneak peeks into this month's bag. I am trying my hardest to take a peek, I want to be surprised!

Carefree Liners

I was lucky enough to review Carefree Liners, courtesy of Influenster for reviewing purposes.

I was surprised to find this cute package in my mailbox! I did not get an email stating I was going to get the Carefree VoxBox, but I am thankful that I was chosen to review it! :)

The cute pink box came with a $0.50 off coupon for any 1 Carefree product, and a 20 count regular liner pack. The 20 pack is small so you can place it anywhere.

The packaging on the liners, are adorable, I must say! They can easily fit in your purse, gym bag, glove box, pocket, just about anywhere! I like to use these liners when it's time of the month for extra coverage. They are unscented, which is a plus.

I like to keep these stash in my to-go bag! Thanks again to Influenster for letting me review these! 

I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.
