Shopping My Beauty Samples

Happy Thursday. I hope you guys have been enjoying the week so far. Today I'm bringing you another post in my Shopping My Beauty Samples series. Let's get into the reviews! Kate Spade Walk on Air Perfume Box It Came From: Birchbox Full Size or Sample Size: Sample Size Price Point: 25.00-95.00 Review: I have quite a few perfume samples and I really like trying different scents. I had no idea that Kate Spade had perfumes at all, I just know of their purses. I really loved this perfume. It was such a fresh scent, perfect for everyday. This has notes of Lily of the Valley and Magnolia. The floral scent wasn't that strong but it was just enough. I would pick up the roller ball in this fragrance, it is perfect for spring. Hey Honey Take It Off Exfoliating Honey Peel Off Mask Box It Came From: Ipsy Full Size or Sample Size: Sample Size Price Point: 32.00 Review: I have a few products from this line and this is one of the first ones I've tried.

Happily Ever Johnson: Getting Overwhelmed!!!

Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone enjoyed their Easter. My son had way too many jelly beans and was extra hyper all day lol! I need to hide the rest of them now lol! Well this is like a personal post tied into the wedding planning series. I'm happy to say we have a venue and a date!! I was so excited when that process was over and we can get along with the planning. I'm trying to figure out color schemes, what center pieces and so on. I'm trying to save on money by planning this and doing most of the decor and stuff on my own along with some help. Then the advice and helpful comments started to roll in and I started to get a little stressed. My fiance and I do not live together at the moment so we would need to factor that in with budgeting and everything that comes with moving in together. I will need a new car at some point and praying that my car holds out until next year because it is paid off and I don't have a car note to worry about. My fiance suggested a destinatio

Liquid Lipstick Battle Part 2

Happy Tuesday!! I'm so glad we didn't get all that snow that was forecasted! I hope Spring will be on its way now lol! Today I'm bringing you reviews on some liquid lipsticks that I've been testing out and wearing over the past couple months. I think I'm becoming a liquid lipstick junkie because I just want to try them all lol! You can see my first post  RIGHT HERE!!  Let's get into the reviews! Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor in Addiction It was so hard to track down most of the drugstore liquid lipsticks! They were always sold out or in colors I wouldn't wear lol! I didn't even know Revlon had a liquid lipstick until I saw a display in Target (another store I am in every week lol). I am in love this with lipstick. It smells like cupcakes for one and this formula is amazing! It is pigmented and not drying at all. It has a pretty good wear time and I barely have to retouch. This color is so pretty and I just love it! Maybelline Vivid Matte L

Royal Rose Hydrating Serum Review*

Happy Thursday! I hope everyone has been enjoying this interesting weather so far. Today I'm bringing you another post powered by BrandBacker and another Valentia product. *I was sent this product for testing purposes and this is my opinion after using. Let's get into the review on this Royal Rose Hydrating Serum! Powered By BrandBacker I recently did a review on two other skincare products by Valentia which you can read  HERE!!  I was excited when I was chosen to review another skincare product. This time around I got to review a hydrating serum. If you have been following me for a while then you know that I have a love/hate relationship with serums. My skin loves it or it will break out. This serum is actually a nighttime one and so far, my skin loves it!! This serum not only smells good but has amazing skincare benefits. Taken directly from the Valentia site, this serum helps to: - Deeply moisturizes skin - Provides antioxidant protection - Soothes & n

Happily Ever Johnson: Venue Shopping

Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone had a great weekend! I'm so happy that the warm weather is finally here. Today I'm bringing you another installment of Happily Ever Johnson. This past weekend we went to see three venues and it was tiring lol! This process of finding the perfect venue seems to be a little stressful and the most important thing you want to get out of the way. I feel the venue sets the tone for the rest of the wedding planning. Once you know where you are going hold your wedding, the other planning such as colors, wedding dress and center pieces can be determined. We plan on getting married at the church and then holding the reception in a separate venue. We are also open to having everything all in one place. When we were looking at venues, we based it off searching online and recommendations from other married couples. It is nice to look at the pictures online but better to see the venue in person. I look for visuals and places to take pictures. Are there outdoo

February Goal Results and March Goals

Happy Friday! Well today I'm bringing you the results of my February Goals and the goals I have for March. You can check out the previous post  HERE!!  Let's get into the results. Figure out to fit exercising into my schedule- Well this one was a little more difficult than I thought. I know I can get into the gym on my days off and I have been taking advantage of that. I know I can probably try to go when I get home from work but sometimes I am just too tired to go or even try to do anything. I'll figure it out. Wear Blush and/or lashes more- I will say that I have been reaching for blush every time I did my makeup. I love my Elf Cosmetics Blush palette and a couple Mac Cosmetic blushes I own. As for lashes.....epic fail. I have so many and just don't reach for them for some reason. I'll work on wearing the lashes more. Makeup No Buy- I was very successful at this!! I did not purchase one piece of makeup and stayed clear of all cosmetics while I was in Target
