Shopping My Beauty Samples

I hope everyone had a great weekend. My son was so excited about the Eater bunny and eating jelly beans lol. We make sure that he knows the real meaning of these holidays and its not just about the candy and presents. Today I am sharing a few reviews from my beauty stash. Let's get into the reviews!



You Be Natural Botanical Black Jamaican Castor Oil Scalp Soother Ointment


Box It Came From: Cocotique
Full Size or Sample Size: Full Size
Price Point: 8.98
Review: I could not wait to use this. My scalp gets really itchy inbetween washes and I look for something to help. Oils can sometimes weigh my hair down and I forget that I have dry shampoo around lol. This really helped relieve and sooth my itchy scalp. It has a pretty light scent and very lightweight. I would purchase this again. 

Sunday Riley Martian Mattifying Melting Water Gel Toner


Box It Came From: Sephora
Full Size or Sample Size: Sample Size
Price Point: 55.00
Review: I redeemed this as a 100 point perk at Sephora. I have heard so much about this company and really wanted to try them out. I really like this toner. It does have a strong scent but it goes away. It does help with controlling the oil and helps keep my skin matte. You have to be careful not to use too many mattifying products with this together, it will dry out your skin. I think I would probably repurchase if it wasn't out of my price range lol. 

Promise Organic Ultra Moisturizing Argan Creme Facial Lotion


Box It Came From: Ipsy
Full Size or Sample Size: Sample Size
Price Point: 14.99
Review: This moisturizer came to the rescue the past couple weeks. I ran out of my current one and my skin was not staying moisturized with one that I used previously. I found this one in my stash and fell in love. It kept my skin so soft and moisturized all day. It is very lightweight and feels amazing on the skin. I think I would purchase this again. Plus I love that it is 100% natural and parban free. 

Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion Age Defying Exfoliator


Box It Came From: Birchbox
Full Size or Sample Size: Sample Size
Price Point: 79.00
Review: You guys know I love this brand and this is another favorite. I have loved everything that I've tried from this brand. Dr. Brandt has amazing products that really work with your skin and just improve the appearance of it. I may bring myself one day to purchase a full size product from them. 

LottaBody Control Me Edge Control Mini


Box It Came From: Onyx Box
Full Size or Sample Size: Sample Size
Price Point: 2.99
Review: I love the convenience of this edge control, you can throw it in your purse and go. It smells so good and I really like this one. It lays my edges down for the whole day, doesn't flake and doesn't give a crunchy, hard feeling. I would purchase this again.

Doucce Freematic Eyeshadow


Box It Came From: Onyx Box
Full Size or Sample Size: Full Size
Price Point: 35.00
Review: I really like the concept behind this eyeshadow quad. You can either order a pre made palette or create your own. This one was created and I love it. This color scheme screams Fall but I feel like I can wear these during any season. The pigmentation of these shadows are okay, you do have to build them up a little but love the color pay off. I would get more of these shadows. Here is a look I created wearing most of the colors in this palette. 



So that is it for my beauty samples. Have you tried any of these products? What were your thoughts? Comment below and let me know. See you guys Thursday!!

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!  ...
