Shopping My Beauty Samples

Happy Thursday!! It seems like November is flying by and Thanksgiving will be here very soon!! I can't wait to eat all day and spend time with family! I have another post from my Shopping My Beauty Samples series. Let's get into the reviews!

100% Pure Coffee Bean Caffeine Eye Cream


Box It Came From: Birchbox
Full Size or Sample Size: Sample Size
Price Point: 13.00 and 25.00
Review: I always love trying new skincare products, especially eye creams. I love this company, they have amazing skincare products. I knew I was going to love this eye cream. It settles into my skin well and I don't look so tired in the morning. It really helps with looking more refreshed and awake. I think I would purchase this eye cream when I finish with this size. 

Eco-Beauty by LaFresh Group Good Day Good Moisturizer


Box It Came From: Birchbox
Full Size or Sample Size: Sample Size
Price Point: 40.00
Review: The packaging for this moisturizer is so cute! I love it. I have tried products from this company before and have liked everything I've tried so far. I really like this product as well. It keeps my skin hydrated all day, I don't get dry at all and it doesn't make me very oily. My skin has been looking healthy and I just love it. I think I would invest in the full size.

Temptu Champagne Shimmer Highlight


Box It Came From: Ipsy
Full Size or Sample Size: Sample Size
Price Point: 27.50
Review: It seems like everything is about having that poppin' highlight now lol! Every time I look, another highlight is coming out. I have a few and was excited when I got this sample. This can be used by itself or with the Temptu air brush machine. I normally use powder highlights so it was different using a liquid one. The color of this is so pretty and is pigmented. I think this pinkish-golden color would look amazing on anyone! You can make it this as subtle or as bold as you want. I have used this alone and have topped it off with a powder and had amazing results with both. I think I would purchase this one. Here is a picture of the sample and me wearing the highlight alone.






St. Ives Blackhead Clearing Green Tea Scrub



Box It Came From: Walmart
Full Size or Sample Size: Sample Size
Price Point: 6.00
Review: I have noticed some blackheads on my nose and was pretty excited when I saw this on my box. I wasn't too happy about the salicylic acne medication that is in this scrub. I don't have acne prone skin but wanted to get rid of the blackheads. The scrub is pretty gentle and not so abrasive. It did irritate my skin a bit but got rid of the blackheads. I don't think I would purchase or use this again.

Dr. Brandt Pores No More Cleanser


Box It Came In: Birchbox
Full Size or Sample Size: Sample Size
Price Point: 35.00
Review: I have been loving this brand and everything that I have tried out so far. I knew I was going to love this cleanser. It really gets in there and removes the dirt and makeup. It left my skin feeling so clean and smooth. I think I would purchase the full size. The container looks like it has a lot of product that will last for a while.

Royal Apothic Cuppa Cuppa Firming Tea Treatment Mask


Box It Came From: Birchbox
Full Size or Sample Size: Full Size
Price Point: One for 12.00 or set of 6 for 58.00
Review: I love a good multi purpose product. This is a mask and exfoliator in one. If you are not one for the strong cooling sensations, I wouldn't recommend this one. The cooling sensation is pretty strong but it is not overbearing. It doesn't get too tight on the face and left my skin looking and feeling amazing! I really loved this product and may purchase it. Here is a picture of me wearing the mask.

Taking a break.......

On Tuesday I did mention that I had some exciting news to share. I have been working part time for a while and searching like crazy for full time work. I was starting to get a little frustrated but never gave up. Well a full time opportunity came up at my current job and I am now full time status!!! I was just so overjoyed and thankful. I will have a more stable income, I can go back to school and start to make some moves. Then I started to get a little overwhelmed. How was I going to juggle being a full-time working mom, grad student, blogger and balance everything else. It has been a while since I had a full time schedule and based my blogging schedule around my days off during the week. I start my full time hours next week and just need to take a small break away from Naturalle Drea. I really didn't want to because I love this so much but I need to see how to handle everything. I will most likely change my blogging schedule around. Thank you to those who have been encouraging to...

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 ...

No Buy is Officially Over!!

Yay!! I survived 2 months without a single makeup purchase!! I am so proud of myself and knew I had the will power to do it!! It really helped me staying out of Sephora, Ulta and Mac, the usual places that get me in trouble lol! When I went into Target or Walmart, I wouldn't even go near the makeup section. Funny thing is, I haven't run to the store yet to purchase anything on my wish list yet but I will soon. You can see what is on my wish list here.  After organizing my makeup, I realized I have a lot of products that I don't use and need to try out soon. I'm going to try to really shop my stash before running out and buying something new. Maybe next time, I will go for a 3 month no buy!! Have you successfully completed a no buy? What is currently on your wish list? Comment below and let me know!! ~** Drea Notes**~ We went to the beach today and I'm so glad we did! It was such a fun day with the family!! I'm trying to get back to working out lol!  ...
