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 color. So he put bubble bath in the tub also. Here is what the bag looked like.


Sorry, I had to pull it out the tub lol. The aroma it gave my bathroom was so wonderful!! It felt so relaxing and I really enjoyed it. I would use this again, it was pretty interesting. Oh and I also got candles and wine while Mommy got to relax for about an hour!!




100% Pure Fruit Pigmented Mascara



Box it came from: Birchbox
Full Size or Sample Size: Sample Size
Price Point: 21.00
Review: I've used body products by this company and really loved them!! I always enjoy using products that are good for you and made from pure ingredients that you can pronounce lol!! I was pretty excited when I saw this in my box. It smells so good, I have the one with Black Tea but it smells like blueberries to me. It really defined my lashes and gave them really great volume! I would use this mascara again, I really enjoyed it! Well, I'm still using it until it's empty lol!! Here is picture of the wand.



Missha Super Aqua Cell Renew Snail Hydro Gel Mask


Box it came from: Glossybox
Full Size or Sample Size: Full Size
Price Point: 6.00
Review: Now when I saw this, I was like "Um snail on my face, yuck!!" I put it in my drawer and was scared to use it lol! I didn't know what to expect from this mask. I will say it was very interesting. It was super slippery like a snail is. The mask came it two halves, one for the top and one for the bottom. It was kind of difficult to remove the film from the mask because it was so slippery. It just felt very different on my face, I don't know how to describe it. I left it on for about a half hour and my skin really felt so soft and smooth. I don't know if I would repurchase this one but it wasn't so bad after all. Here is what the mask looked like and I just happened to have washed my hair that day too. 




Joan Vass Perfume




Box it came from: Birchbox
Full Size or Sample Size: Sample Size
Price Point: 75.00
Review: Yes, I have a few perfume samples and I really like receiving them! I really enjoyed using this one. I loved the scent, it was pretty sweet to me even through its described as being clean and citrusy. It's perfect for this time of year. I honestly have not purchased an actually perfume for more than 40.00 and I usually get them from Victoria's Secret. I don't think I would repurchase this one but it was great to use for the week.

Skyn Iceland Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels


Box it came from: Birchbox
Full Size or Sample Size: Full Size
Price Point: 8 pairs for 30.00
Review: I've used a moisturizer by this company and I really liked using it. I was kinda excited to see this in my box. I didn't know what to expect from this product but I really enjoyed using it. Here is what the eye gels look like.


You would of course wash your face first, then peel the backing off and place the gel side under your eyes and leave on for 10 minutes. Here is what they look like on. Excuse my crazy looking hair, I did this before going to bed.


I didn't feel a cooling sensation at all but when I took them off, I looked refreshed and not so tired. It brightened under my eye area and it just looked so good. I think I would repurchase this. 

Pida Exfoliating Gel



Box it cam from: Beauty Army
Full Size or Sample Size: Sample Size
Price Point: 54.00
Review: This was also another interesting product that I tried. Just from reading the outside, I thought this was a regular exfoliator. When I opened it, it looked like clear gel that you use in your hair. I didn't see any beads or anything that would make it look like it would exfoliate my skin. So I applied to my face and it just felt like a gel until it started to bead up and that was the dead skin cells. I was really surprised by this. My skin was left feeling super soft, I was really impressed!! Now for this price, I don't know if I would repurchase but I really loved this one!!

Embryolisse Nourishing Moisturizer



Box it came from: Birchbox
Full Size or Sample Size: Sample Size
Price Point: 16.00
Review: I've seen a few makeup artist that I watch on YouTube raving about this moisturizer. I was pretty happy to see it in my box so I could try it out for myself. Now I see what they are talking about. This moisturizer really keeps my skin moisturized, it feels so soft and works well under your makeup. I just really like this moisturizer but I have to watch how much I apply to my face because one day my T-Zone was pretty oily. I would repurchase this one.

So that's it for this weeks reviews. I have just one more left for the end of April and I can't wait for May!!! Have you used any of these products? What were your thoughts on them? Comment below and let me know!!


~** Drea Notes**~

I was at the mall earlier and did not stop to look any makeup even though I'm mad that I can't purchase anything from Mac's Playland line!! The colors are so pretty!! :(

This is going to become a regular series since I am still receiving monthly boxes. I'm really enjoying this so much!!

Sometimes its hard.....

You know when you keep thinking of something and you just feel like you have to get it out? That was me before sitting down to write this post. I had something else planned to write but I kept thinking...sometimes its hard and it just evolved from there. We all heard the sayings, life isn't fair, life is hard and so on. Sometimes life can be hard but we don't experience it for long. There are so many things that I want to do but I know I can't do a million things at once. I can't just pick and go anymore, I'm someone's parent now. There are times I want to but I know things have to be planned out now. I will get to those place I want to go, just have to be patient and plan it out. It seems like we focus so much on what is hard about life that we forget about the easy stuff. We forget sometimes about all the good things that happen and to be grateful for getting through those rough patches. You may not like your living situation but you have a roof over

On a personal note....Update on Blogging and Personal Goals

Happy Football Sunday!! I hope everyone has been enjoying the weekend and getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving!! I can't believe it is this week! I can't wait to spend time with family! I thought about giving an update to the personal and blogging goals I set for myself last year with the Resolute Beauty Blogger series. You can check out my results post  HERE!!  I completed this in May of this year so let's see how I've been doing since then. Blogging Goals 1. Attend A Blogging Event- Since then I have not attended another event. I was so happy when I did find my one event to attend. I have been keeping in contact with those bloggers I met and reading their blogs. I have been finding events but there are scheduling conflicts. I hope to find another one very soon. 2. Set A Blogging Schedule- I am still sticking to my Sunday, Thursday and every other Friday schedule. It has been really working with my hectic schedule I already have. 3. Change Up Current Style-

Fall Fashion Trends 2017

I keep saying it but I'm going to speak it into existence, I'm going to New York Fashion Week one of these days. It has always been a dream of mine to go and I always miss when it is or have a conflicting schedule but I'm determined to get there. Speaking of fashion, I wanted to share some of my favorites Fall Fashions trends I've seen floating around.  Plaid Image taken from the web I feel like plaid is one of those classic patterns that is always in style. It may not be in the forefront but you always see it. I love plaid, I don't wear it often but I just love how you can dress it up or down, be casual or dressy with it. I would normally wear a plaid button up shirt but would like to venture into different pieces. Sleepwear  When I first saw people doing this, I wasn't a fan but the more I saw different versions, I started to like it. I like this trend when it is done right. I feel like this can be worn on a night out, something you
