Shopping My Beauty Samples

Hey guys! Its been a while since I have done a post in this series. I was waiting to use enough samples to make a post.

Willa On The Go Towelettes


Box it came from: Ipsy
Full Size or Sample Size: Sample Size
Price Point: 10.00
Review: I loved the scent of these towelettes but did not like them at all. They were easy to use and seemed to get the job done but after I used one, I started to feel this burning sensation on my face. It was not pleasant at all and it broke my face out a little. They immediately went in the trash after that and I would not repurchase these.

Skyn Blue Clay Mask



Box it came from: Ipsy
Full Size or Sample Size: Sample Size
Price Point: Box of 6 Mask for 39.00
Review: I was so interested in trying out this mask. I have tried previous facial products by this brand and loved them. This was a very easy mask to use, you applied Step 1 on your face first and when it started to foam up you would apply the other step until they were well blended. I was expecting it to be blue but it wasn't at all, just a white color. The mask did not harden at all and my skin looked so amazing after using this mask. I would repurchase but I think there should be more mask in a box for that price. Here is what the mask looked like on my face lol!



Youngblood Anti Shine Mattifier



Box it came from: Beauty Army
Full Size or Sample Size: Sample Size
Price Point: 36.00
Review: This sample was sitting in my drawer for a while because I didn't think I needed to use this at all. Well with the warmer weather here, my T-Zone gets more oily than usual so I decided to give this a try. I was expecting a powder but when I opened it, this is what the product looked like.

I was surprised and thought it would make my skin more oily but it did not. You just apply to the oily areas and the oil was gone!! I was so happy with this product until it started to break me out! I was so sad because this really worked and was going to purchase the full size. Hopefully I will come across something soon like this.

Amlactin Moisturizing Body Lotion



Box it came from: Beauty Army
Full Size or Sample Size: Sample Size
Price Point: 16.99
Review: It is sometimes a love/hate relationship with body lotions. Some of them work great and some leave my skin looking for more moisture. I love this body lotion. It really moisturized my skin and kept it soft all day. It wasn't too thick and really sank into the skin very well. I love the nice, clean scent of this lotion and I just loved using it. I have another sample size bottle of this and will be purchasing the full size soon.


So that is it for this post. Once I use some more samples, I will have another post from this series soon.

  3. The Skyn mask sounds interesting...especially that it foams. My T-zone also gets really shiny this time of year, so this Mattifier sounded really good until I read that one broke you out, I will stick with my blotting papers.

    Nice reviews!

Make Beauty Review*

Happy Friday beauty lovers! I hope you have been enjoying Winter again lol! I hope Mother Nature gets it together soon lol. Today I am bringing you another review powered by BrandBacker! *I was sent these products for testing purposes and this is my opinion after using. Let's get into the reviews! *Powered By BrandBacker* I was pretty excited when I was picked for this campaign. I have tried a Make Beauty eyeshadow before and loved it. Honestly, I was expecting the samples to be a little bigger. I was a little disappointed in the lipstick sample, it was hard to use. It kept breaking when I was trying to apply it. Make Beauty is a very new company to me that I was introduced to through Birchbox.  They have just about everything from eyeshadows to contour kits. They also have a line for skincare as well. Alabaster Eyeshadow This shadow on the Make Beauty site is described as a soft eggshell with peach undertones. This shadow is a matte and can be used as a brow

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
