Thursday Reviews: Shopping My Beauty Samples

Happy late Thursday! Man things have been a little crazy this week but things are going well. I haven't done a post in this series in such a long time. I have so many samples waiting to be reviewed. So let's get right into the reviews!!



Nourish Organic Renewing Eye Cream



Box It Came From: Ipsy
Full Size or Sample Size: Sample Size
Price Point: 19.99
Review: I really enjoyed using this eye cream. The under eye area stayed moisturized and felt smooth. I loved the consistency of this, it wasn't too thick and blended in very well. Mostly likely, I would repurchase this.

Dove Pure Dry Oil



Box It Came From: Ipsy and Walmart
Full Size or Sample Size: Sample Size
Price Point: 9.00
Review: Funny thing is that I received two samples of this products in different boxes. I really love the scent of this oil! It has a rich, thick texture but it not too heavy. It doesn't feel greasy at all and works so well with my hair. I would most definitely repurchase this hair oil.

Marc Anthony Oil Of Morocco  Argan Oil Hair Spray



Box It Came From: Ipsy
Full Size or Sample Size: Sample Size
Price Point: 8.99
Review:  I normally don't use hair spray when but decided to give this a try when I straightened my hair. It does smell like the typical hair spray but doesn't stay around long. My hair didn't feel sticky or hard at all and my curls stayed all day. I was really impressed with this hair spray. I think I would purchase the full size.

Pacifica Duo #2 Shadows and Ethereal Shadow




Box It Came From: Ipsy
Full Size or Sample Size: Full Size
Price Point: Unsure
Reviews: I really love the colors of the shadows. They are great neutral colors for everyday. The colors were not what I expected when I used them. They are a little sheer but you can build up the color. I would  most likely purchase other products from this brand. Here are swatches of each shadow.

Makeup Forever Smoky Extravagent Mascara


Box It Came From: Sephora
Full Size or Sample Size: Sample Size
Price Point: 24.00
Review: I got this mascara with racking up 100 points at Sephora. I have only tried foundation from Makeup Forever so I excited to try another product. I really love this mascara! It really enhanced my natural lashes and made them look so long and full. The wand is so interesting to me, here is a picture of it. I would repurchase the full size!!


City Colors Creamy  Lip Stain in Flirtini


Box It Came From: Ipsy
Full Size or Sample Size: Full Size
Price Point: 5.00
Review: I was excited to receive this lip stain. I haven't had a lot of luck with many lip stains and hoped this would be good. I really love the color of this lip stain and it is very pigmented. It didn't feel drying at and had a pretty good wear time. I would repurchase these. Here is a swatch.



Mica Beauty Mineral Eye Shadow in Harlequin


Box It Came From: Ipsy
Full Size or Sample Size: Full Size
Price Point: 14.95
Review: I really love this pigment. The color is so gorgeous and it is so pigmented. There is very little fall out when applying this. I love the packaging and the top so you don't spill anything. Here is a picture of the inside packaging and a swatch. I would purchase more mineral eyeshadows.

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
