CVS Mini Haul

I had some coupons for free BodyWash over at CVS so I went over and to grab the body wash and the Red Coupon Machine gave me some coupons to use. They sent me a $3 coupon to use towards anything.

I saw there was a coupon for $1 off large Dove bars, I remembered that there was some on sale for $0.59 so I grabbed 2 of them.

Then they had a coupon for $0.25 off a Pepsi Product, so I grabbed a 2 liter of Mountain Dew, with 5 people in my household we go through far too much soda, it is my vice for sure.

I found the Maybelline Color Show Denims on half price. So I picked up the two different colors they had Styled Out and Demin Dash. So $4 for 2.. YAY

I also grabbed City Duet 2 in 1 Lip Color by NYC in The Hot Pinks. I grabbed Wet N Wild's Spotlight Red. I have heard so many people talk about it that I knew I had to grab it.

I got CVS brand Body Wash in Romance and Energize. I like the smell of both so I am quite excited. They were free because of the coupons they gave out.

I got a limited edition Olay cleansing wipes in a cute container. I wanted to try them and I love boxes, so I had to get it.

Overall I spent $13.73 and I saved $18.84. I am pretty pleased with how I made out in this one.

I used a $3 coupon they emailed me, 2 bodywash coupons from the Facebook page (1 for me, 1 for my bf), a coupon off the body wash bottle, and 2 coupons from the Red Coupon Machine in store.

Freemans Anti Stress Mask Dead Sea Minerals Review

I have been meaning to try this for a while and as I type this I actually have the mask on my face. There will be photos. I bought this one in particular because I constantly stress out and seeing how it says Anti-Stress.. I thought I'd give it a whirl :) First impressions I open and squeeze out product and its BLUE.. and I mean blue.. like I look like an avatar blue.. and it is thick in consistency. So I rub it across my face making sure not to get it in my eyes like the bottle tells me. It feels cold against my skin. Now its been like 10 minutes and I think it has mostly dried, my skin feels tight because it dried making me unable to really talk or laugh. But it feels interesting against my skin. I am going to go wash it off now. Be back in a moment . Here is a picture of it on.

Here is a picture afterwards.

Now it is off my skin. My skin feels refreshed and it is nice to be able laugh and smile again. The cool thing is though it was dried the moment water hit it, it became just as it had started and washes off pretty easy. My skin feels clean. I like the way it feels after taking it off I will be using it again. So now information on the product. The company never tests on animals. The one I bought comes in a 6 fl oz bottle for $3.99 at your local drugstore or walmart, target. This one states it purifies and cleans pores. It absorbs oil. I really need that. I tend to have an oily t zone. The Anti Stress Mask - Dead Sea Minerals uses Sea Salt, Lavender and Beragmot to make for a calming and relaxing experience. Check out this product. I really like it.

Sinful Colors -Summer Peach and wet'n'wild - gray's anatomy - Review

I am having more fun then I can say playing with nail polishes. I don't paint my nails everyday. I have been testing how long nail polishes stay on. I have to say I am really impressed with the staying power of Sinful Colors and wet'n'wild's fast dry nail polishes. I have had them on for 4 days now and there is almost no chips (and I think I've said before I am super rough on my nails).

I bought the Sinful Colors - Summer Peach because it is a bright neon orange. I am crazy about orange and neon's so I had to get it of course. I mean its vibrant, bright, and just calls out to you. So I put it on my nails and sadly it washed out my skin and looked so bad. So being me, not wanting to give up, I grabbed the other color I bought wet'n'wild's Gray's Anatomy and put a coat on top and BAM I had found it. The color neutralized the orange to a beautiful shiny flame like color and just radiates gorgeous. (Soon Soon, I promise when I get my new expensive camera I will post new pictures)

I am still new to playing with nail polishes so yes so far, there is nothing special other then colors, but soon, soon I am going to be trying and getting to the cool fun stuff. You can come on my journey with me.

Physician's Formula Hydrating and Balancing Moisturizer- Review

Physician's Formula Hydrating and Balancing Moisturizer

Last week I went to CVS to pick up my free body wash from the facebook giveaway and upon purchasing it, I got a coupon for $12 of a Physician's Formula skincare item. I spent the next 5 minutes trying to find a skincare item in the makeup section before the chick behind the counter took me over to the new Physician's Formula skincare line. I didn't know anything about it, so I sat down in front of them and read up on them as much as you can in a store on the floor.

I like a lot of the different makeup that Physician's Formula makes and so with the coupon making a product under half the cost, I thought why not give it a try. So I picked up Hydrating and Balancing Moisturizer for $9 normally $19.99. Not a bad deal and hoped it would be a good fit for me.

I've been using it for a week now, I really like the way it feels on the drier parts of my face. The first few days I was using it all over my face, but I didn't like the way it left my forehead feeling more oily then it had started out that day. Yet I really like the way it feels on the flakier parts of my skin. It makes it feel less dry and more normal. So I have been using it on half my face and it feels really great.

It comes out of the bottle a light blue color, which I think is cool. It doesn't feel too thick or greasy which I think is nice. It seems to moisturize well on my skin, I have only been using it for about a week so I can't say how well it works for long term. I will have to update you in a while about the long term effects.

So I would recommend checking out this moisturizer if you are looking for a new moisturizer. They also have a whole line of skincare. I have yet to check out.

Rimmel London Stay Matte Foundation - Review

Rimmel London Stay Matte Foundation

I like this foundation by Rimmel London. It's not as good as counter foundation and under the quality of Covergirl's NatureLuxe. It's still a great foundation for the price. It goes on pretty smooth and doesn't feel too thick on the skin which can be a problem with drugstore foundation.

The thing this foundation sports is a "Skinpure Complex". It claims to be a clairifying matte foundation. I don't know for certain because I change up my foundation, add things to it (like moisturizer, primer, and other foundations). My skin doesn't seem to break out as much from this foundation, so I believe that some of the claims it says may be partly truthful.

Rimmel London makes this foundation for sensitive skin, is oil-free and has shine control. They don't use parabans, no fragrances and use botanical extracts to help soothe irritated skin. I bought it in Classic Beige and it's slightly too dark for my skin, but I add in some moisturizer and some ivory covergirl to make it more my color.

You can buy this at your local drugstore for around $7-$8 and sometimes on sale get it for cheaper. 1 fl. oz tube is what you get for the cost. If you are looking for a foundation that is good coverage and keeps the skin clearer and is not too expensive, then this is the foundation for you.

If you don't wear makeup often this is a good makeup to try out and start with, learning what you like is a long drawn out process that can get expensive. I always suggest trying the cheaper stuff first since makeup can break the bank. The more you wear, and like using it the better quality to go and get.

Wet N Wild Mega Brilliance Lipgloss in Crushed Grapes - Review

Wet N Wild Mega Brilliance Lipgloss in Crushed Grapes

I am always grabbing lipglosses, lipsticks, lipbalms whenever I can. Literally far too often, I enjoy finding new colors, new flavors, and new ways to treat my lips to a good time.

The other day while I was out, I saw this one on sale and just had to give it a try, sparkly, pink, and super shiny. Cheap and bright pink, how could I not. So I bought it and found that I love it.

I like the feeling of it on my lips, its like most lipglosses slightly sticky. That's about the only thing I dislike about lipglosses, so I can't really complain about the stickiness of one lipgloss since its a normal thing throughout the lipgloss world. The lipgloss smells so good. I love lipglosses that smell great. This lipgloss smells like Grapes.. so I am in love.

It's not very bright but I like the color its barely there and looks good as a shiny lipgloss. Maybe not really pink at all.. but I have learned that with a lot of lipglosses they are more shine then color. So mixing this with a nice pink lipstick can make for a beautiful sparkly shiny lip color.

If you want some cheap shine this is definitely a color to pick up.

Hawaiian Tropic's Creme Lotion SPF 50

For the last few years I haven't spent much time in the sun, and this summer seems to be a new era for me. I have been frollicking in the park, swimming with friends in our pool, going out for runs and walking close to 4 miles a day. So I am in the rays of the sun a lot and the first time out I got super sunburned so I have started using sunscreen. It goes on slightly thick and creamy. I don't for the most part like sunscreens because of the fact that they are so greasy and I don't like that feeling on my skin.

This sunscreen works well, keeps my skin from turning deep red and allows me to enjoy my time in the sun without worry. I like that. That makes me feel good. The sunscreen is slightly greasy but not so bad once it goes on. The only thing that I do every time is wash my hands after I put it on my body since I don't want to feel the grease on my hands.

Hawaiian Tropic has a lot more products available and you'll probably see me write about more of them since I really like the products.
