Review on Shopping My Beauty Samples-Week 4

It seems like April just flew by because May will be here soon! I'm glad the Spring Weather is here, I'm loving it!! So here are my reviews on the products I used this week!! Bvlgari Tea Bag For Bath Box it came from: Glossybox Full Size or Sample Size: Full Size Price Point: 9.50 Review: Funny thing is, I rarely take baths. I don't really have time to sit and relax in one, I'm always on the go. I was really curious about this product, how it would work and be like. I was trying to figure out when I would have time to even take a bath this week and my wonderful boyfriend made that happen. He just finished giving our son a bath and I heard the water running again so I figured he was cleaning the tub. Well, I kept hearing the water running and I'm like "what kind of cleaner is he using that takes so long??" I go to the bathroom and he's running a bath for me!! According to him, the tea bag didn't make bubbles, it just made the water a milky

Shopping My Beauty Samples-Week 4

Hey guys! I hope everyone had a great Easter and enjoyed time with family. Well here are the products that I will be using this week and I think I'm going to turn this into a regular series! I'm having fun using all these products!! Bvlgari Tea Bag for Bath Embrylisse Nourishing Moisturizer Super Aqua Cell Renew Snail Hydro-Gel Mask 100% Pure Mascara Pida Exfoliating Gel Skyn Iceland Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels Joan Vass Perfume Check back at the end of the week for my reviews! ~** Drea Notes**~ My son had way too much sugar on Easter but he enjoyed it! I'm still slacking off on working out and it didn't help that a Krispy Kreme just opened 10 minutes from my job and they brought us doughnuts!! I had two lol!! I wish we could have paid naps at work!

Review on Shopping My Beauty Samples-Week 3

Hey guys! Can you believe that Easter is here already?? Gotta play the Easter Bunny later after posting this!! So let's get into these reviews!! Nelson J Beverly Hills Argan Oil 7 in 1 Non Foaming Shampoo Box it came from: Beauty Army Sample Size or Full Size: Sample Size Price Point: 22.00 Review: This was a pretty interesting shampoo to use. I've never really used a 7 in 1 product for my hair before. I really didn't see what scent this was until I opened it. It smelled like very strong orange mint. It didn't bother me that much but it was just so strong. I actually enjoyed using this product. It really got my hair clean, had great slippage so I could detangle my hair and left my hair feeling pretty soft. I think I would repurchase this if it was in a different scent. Etre Belle Collagen Aloe Vera Hydro Mask Box it came from: Glossybox Sample Size or Full Size:  Full Size Price Point: 39.50 for 10 masks Review: This was another interesting pr

IMATS HAUL!!!

I'm so excited to bring you guys my IMATS haul(please excuse the noises you hear! I gotta charge my camera and get a new memory card)!! I had such a great time with my friends!! I will do another post on my experience and who I met there. There will be more detailed reviews as I use each product! Did you get to IMATS this year? What did you get? Comment below and let me know!!!

On a personal note.....

So many things have been on my mind lately, it's just all driving me crazy. I literally had a major meltdown a few weeks ago over life of course. I hate that I have no clue what I want to do with my life, what direction to turn into or anything. I had it all set out about 10 years ago. I know what i wanted to go to college for, I knew my career path, when certain things would happen in my life. Nothing like I imagined it. You can't be in the driver's seat all the time, you are always not in control of things. I'm proud of myself for pushing through and getting my degree that I'm not using at the moment. But where did my drive and motivation go? I feel like I'm lacking consistency and that "Go-Getter" mentality. I feel like I lost them somewhere. It was brought to my attention a while ago and I didn't listen. I thought I was okay but now I'm realizing that I have lost it. I have been inconsistent many of times and I really don't push myself

No Buy Challenge and Wish List

I decided to give myself a No Buy challenge after IMATS this past weekend. This will go from April 14-June 14!! Yes, I'm going for two months!! It's going to be a challenge for me because I know that some new stuff will be coming out that I would really want but I need to put a dent in what I already have and make room for the things that I have just purchased. I believe I have it in me to really complete this, maybe even push it to three months (Yea, I'll see lol)!! I can save some money during that time to maybe purchase something on my wish list. I've been eyeing a lot of products that I've seen reviews on and heard others rave about. I would love to pick up one or two of these items after this no buy!! Anastasia Beverly Hill Dipbrow Naked 2 Pallet Nars Sheer Glow Foundation Dior Gel Top Coat Nars Blush (in any color) YSL Lipstick (any color) Lorac Pro Pallet Kat Von D Liquid Lipstick Clarisonic Mia Wish me luck on this No Buy Challen

Shopping My Beauty Samples- Week 3

Hey guys! I'm back with this month's theme of Shopping My Beauty Samples. Here are the beauty products that I will be using this week. I did push the Hydro mask to this week because of the Lush Fresh Face Mask that I used last week. Prestiche Lemongrass Soap with Olive Oil Apothederm Bright Skin Serum Etre Belle Collagen and Aloe Vera Hydro Mask MCMC Phoenix Perfume Ojon Rare Blend Oil Nelson Beverly Hill Argan Oil Shampoo Elizabeth Mott Smooth Shadow Creamy Eye Pencil. Have you used any of these products? What were your thoughts on them? Comment below and let me know!! ~** Drea Notes**~ Of course I've been slacking off on working out, need some motivation!! I can't wait until Lent is over, I just want a burger lol!!!

Review on Shopping My Samples-Week 2

Hey guys! I'm back with the reviews of the samples that I used last week. I did push one of the mask to this week because of the Lush Fresh Fresh Mask that I forgot I purchased and wanted to use it before it expired. So let's get into the reviews!! Tigi Glow Blush in Haute Box it came from : Glossybox Sample size or Full Size: Full Size Price Point: 22.00 Review: I really love this blush!! The color is so gorgeous, it gives your skin a  nice bronzy glow. I don't think I've seen a blush in this color before. It's perfect for summer. It has great pigmentation and just an overall great product. I think 22.00 is a bit much for the size of the product, I'm sure I can find a dupe out there. Here is a swatch of the blush: Addiction NV Cosmetics Lip Gloss in Have A Mojito Box it came from: Beauty Army Sample Size or Full Size : Full Size Price Point: 16.00 Review: I thought this lip gloss was just okay. I really liked the minty scent
