<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; text-align: start;">I received this product via influenster for testing.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; text-align: start;">First, I was shocked to be picked for something so appropriate for myself as I have allergies and was congested due to sinuses or the cold when the product arrived. It's huge. the box was the size of box you that if you were a kid for Christmas you knew there was either an unconstructed bike or huge doll house inside.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The product is also massive with two water holders. It was hard to find somewhere to place this in my apartment that wouldn't trip someone. I found a spot close by the bed, but unfortunately on carpet - thus far no leakage! I tried it the night I received it and sure enough all my sneezing & clogged nose the next morning was gone. Don't know whether it was just its time to stop effecting my body or this humidifier helped. Since then, I don't wake up with a dry throat and feel like my sleep is more pleasant!</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I would love to have tried in this a drier climate, somehow I don't think Atlanta winters are as harsh on my skin compared to the North East</span></span></div>

.I don't feel like this mask did anything for my skin. My pimple size didn't decrease or become less red. In comparison, I've been using Sephora's Mud Mask Purifying & Mattifying ($19 2.03oz) and I actually prefer Sephora more. The Sephora brand is thicker in consistency, but it feels like both are doing the same thing. The GlamGlow version burned more than the Sephora one does. They both dry in similar ways. For something was expensive as GlamGlow I expected beautiful perfect skin after. I don't feel or see a difference after using that mask. For $50 less and nearly twice the size I'll stick with Sephora's version!adventurous actuaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15427649631958245277noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2418863264809078723.post-60495783483013456832015-11-17T10:38:00.000-05:002015-11-17T10:38:25.096-05:00Birchbox - November 2015<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.ulta.com/a/Real-Techniques/_/N-1z140ys?ciSelector=searchResults">Ulta</a> Buy 1 Get one 50% off - Use the coupons that were available on coupons.com for $3 off for 1 brush from Real Techniques. These coupons have an expiration date of 12/31/15. Use 2, use the 3.50/$10 coupon. Depending on which brushes you pick out it's a great deal. (Do this in store!)</li>
<li><a href="http://www.kohls.com/search.jsp?search=real+techniques&submit-search=web-ta-keyword">Kohls</a> Buy 1 Get one for $1 - AMAZING deal to get in on the new Bold Metals collection! If you have a Kohl's Charge use coupon codes "TURKEY30" and "SHIPMVC"</li>

</ul>
</ul>
<div>
Don't forget your favorite cash back website!<br />
<br />
I'm a huge fan of Real Technique brushes especially that original purple eye set...maybe it's cause I have tiny eyes and they fit perfectly! They are super soft and are great deals! </div>

<br />
I, in fact, love it more than Sephora - <i>why</i>?<br />
<br />
Because of its membership program where every purchase earns you points that you can redeem for $ off your purchase. The more you accumulate the more the points are worth. I enjoy that they have a mixture of drugstore & high end, they usually have promotions for certain brands where you can get additional gifts with purchase, they often have lunch break promotions where if you buy online you get even more, and lastly they offer times where you get double/triple points depending on the brand/month.<br />
<br />
So why am I ranting about them today?<br />
<br />
<b><u>Customer service</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
1) I moved nearly 3 months ago, changed my address before I moved, and also received an order to my new address - I still have not received an ad. I reached out to customer service and they said it takes nearly 2 months to receive an ad - that sounds like 2 months of business you're losing out on Ulta.<br />
<br />
2) E-mail promotions. I without a fail have been receiving emails from Ulta and when I reached out to customer service about the ads - the e-mails stopped. I told customer service - they said I'm on the system, but still no e-mails. Then I reached out and said I'm not getting any still and its strange because I know during the 21 days of beauty - there's emails everyday! Still seems like a bad business strategy to not have these two ways to reach your customer base have such a long lag...<br />
<br />
Here's what Ulta Guest Services said:<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">We confirmed that our email department has ensured everything within your email account is up to date. We sent roughly a few emails a week, and you should be on that list. If you do not receive 1 email in the next week, please let me know.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><b><u><span style="font-family: inherit;">Return Policy</span></u></b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Sephora has this unlimited return policy and will refund your original payment method with proof of purchase. If you lost your receipt they can look it up via your account and give you store credit which you can use in store or online. Even without the box, Sephora will accept it.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ulta on the other hand, must be returned within 60 days with proof of purchase. But if you lost your receipt or its been longer than 60 days they will give you store credit which you cannot use online - which is annoying. In addition, if you used points or a coupon or bought at a discount...well good luck. </span></span><br />

I'm always on the hunt of what to use to make my skin better. After all when I'm 70 I want to look like I'm 50 and if that means starting to invest now then I'm all in!<br />
<br />
Today while driving, I noticed weird red lines appearing on my cheeks and my immediately thought is oh my gosh what is happening! I need to stop at Sephora ASAP and ask them what is going on and what can I use to fix it. So...that's what I did. I stopped by the Lancaster Park City Mall in PA and went into this Sephora for the first time. Besides being an oddly but cool shaped store (like a triangle) I was helped immediately and sent over to the skincare guy who's first question after my name was "What status are you?" I was taken aback because 1) I've never been asked this 2) What does it matter? I've spent a pretty penny on Sephora the past year made VIB for the first time in my Sephora lifetime.<br />
<br />
Anyway, he basically led me to the Skincare screen which I am unimpressed with because I came in to talk to a person not stare at a screen together with. He recommended a few vitamin C serums and we talked about other aspects of skincare like my routine (Don't you feel like you are always judged if you name some drug store brand skincare items?) I mean my routine uses a mix of high end and low end, but I love my drugstore products.<br />
<br />
AM:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>CeraVe</li>
<li>Clinique Acne Toner</li>
<li>Clinique Eye Cream</li>
<li>Aveeno w/ SPF</li>
</ul>
<div>
PM:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Either Shisheido Ibuki with my Clarisonic or an Acne Cleanser from Korea/Australia</li>
<li>Clinique Acne Toner or sometimes Paula's Choice ABA (not really a fan)</li>
<li>Clinique Eye Cream </li>
<li>Olay Serum if I feel like it</li>
<li>Olay Night Cream or Manuka Doctor Night Mask or Korres Rose Mask</li>
</ul>
<div>
Anyway after my experience in Sephora, I wanted to try out that "Quarter Life Crisis" Origins just came out with so I headed over to Bonton to get a sample. I was helped by a lovely lady Michelle who totally got me by telling me Bonton is currently doing the Goodwill presale that is 20% off and if I sign up for a Bonton card today that's another 20% off. So I spent my time thinking whether I should do this and at first its like no, I need my points for travel, but eventually I gave in. That's 36% off skincare/cosmetics and anything in the store....how can I say no? I can't pass up a good deal.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Origins:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Original Skin Renewal Serum with Willowherb</li>
<li>Checks and Balances</li>
<li>Modern Friction</li>
</ul>
<div>
Then I had to call my mom and see if she wanted anything so I stopped by Lancome and got her a night cream. They also have a gift promotion going on!</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I saw that they have theBalm and man oh man, was I tempted to get the Mary-Lou and Cindy-Lou compacts. I said no luckily and headed to Clinique. Here's what I got there:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Clinique:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector (for my acne scars!)</li>
<li>Makeup Brush cleanser (is it weird I love this product?)</li>
<li>Acne Toner</li>
<li>Cheek Pop in Peach Pop</li>
</ul>
<div>
I was so fearful Clinique got rid of their Cheek Pop because I've been eyeing it for awhile now. Not that I need another blush that I don't know how to apply correctly especially since I just bought the It Cosmetics CC + Radiance Palette. </div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway, if you are looking to stock up at a great deal! You should totally get in on this Goodwill Presale! You can't bring it home today, but it is shipped to you on March 12th!</div>

I absolutely love Influenster, because I've been able to try make up brands that I've seen, but never had the guts to buy. I hear so much about high end make up, that I always welcome a cheaper alternative that does the job.<br />
<br />
This was the smallest VoxBox I have received yet, but who cares? I'm grateful!<br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #323232; font-family: 'Open Sans', helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-stretch: inherit; font-weight: 300; line-height: 1.2em; margin: 30px 0px 0px; max-width: 500px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
NYC Big Bold & Precise Felt Tip Liner</div>
After recently receiving an Eyeko Liner & using my Stilia Stay All Day Liner, I know for a fact that I absolutely hate this NYC liner. First of all when I opened it, it smells like a marker. Second the color isn't as strong & opaque as my other two liners. The one plus about this liner is that it has a good tip for making a cat eye (similar to the Benefit They're Real Push Up Liner shape). I probably will not be using this liner again. The staying power is pretty good, but that smell totally throws me off!<br />
<br />
<h2 itemprop="name" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #323232; font-family: 'Open Sans', helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-stretch: inherit; font-weight: 300; line-height: 1.2em; margin: 30px 0px 0px; max-width: 500px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: small;">NYC Big Bold Angel Lash Mascara</span></h2>
I have short lashed that need curling so many mascaras do nothing for my lashes. This is the same as those. It's okay. Nothing to write home about, and for some reason after I apply it, it feels like my lashes get stuck together or stuck on my eye. It's a strange feeling cause you feel the tug. It doesn't move and hasn't run (I have super watery eyes). So I just think this is a mediocre mascara, probably not a purchase for me either. But I will continue to use it cause its all right.<br />
<br />
Can't wait for my next Influenster box! I'm crossing my fingers for VS Workout Gear since I'm on this health kick lately!adventurous actuaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15427649631958245277noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2418863264809078723.post-87141611288474807172015-01-26T23:36:00.001-05:002015-01-26T23:42:04.732-05:00Tomson Testing: Organic Matcha Powder<a href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOP068e9b0b8d63c665beb179ca3b041084" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png" style="display: none;" /></a>

I received this via Tomson to test, which is perfect for me because my latest and greatest hobby is making ice cream. My boyfriend's favorite is green tea! I also have been making green tea cupcakes, so let the green tea craze continue. I enjoy using this powder for making various sweets. I have yet to use it for a smoothie or latte, but I plan to! This green tea is similar to the ones I buy in Asian Supermarkets. The taste is similar. I honestly will go with whatever is easiest for me to get and price wise. I usually get around 2oz for $9.99 at the supermarket this retails for $25 on amazon. So pricing is close, but I can get a better deal at the market.<br />

</div>
As part of BirchBloggers, I can enter into monthly drawings for Birchbox's Book Club! In October I received Gillian Flynn's series of Gone Girl (now a motion picture), Dark Places, and Sharp Objects. I read really slowly so I'm only 1/4 of the way of Gone Girl (that and my boyfriend said we should watch the movie before I read the book). I'm so excited that Birchbox has these offers for their blog members! It just makes me love Birchbox even more!<br />
<br />
I'm so happy to be reading again!<br />

Within the box had a Resource Water which was perfect given that I was planning on doing a 7 mile hike at Ricketts Glen State Park, PA. Resource Water has electrolytes which is exactly what you need after lots of sweat. The trail was moderate difficulty at some points because it was a lot of uphill & downhill. But the trail is gorgeous there was many beautiful waterfalls and it was well marked. I didn't drink much during my hike and felt fine after. I did finish up the Resource Water (which tastes like water with a little extra taste) its not noticable, but I'm really all about weird tasting waters and knowing a difference (for ex. I always know which water is Danon's). But I am super thankful for Resource water cause I'm the type that gets dehydrated easily so this helped me survive the hike!<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

I love Influenster. I love getting products to be able to test them out to see whether I would be willing to purchase it. I hate when you spend money to purchase something and you realize that you don't like it. (For ex. those funky flavors of Lays chips). This week I received my Moda Vox Box.</div>

I wouldn't buy Physician's Formula (PF) without this sort of deal because PF never has coupons online nor in the paper. I decided to halt my blush obsession for a bit and venture to a highlight. I currently only use Benefit's Watts Up samples (which lasts me forever). I really love Watts Up and would purchase a full sized one when I run out of the two sample tubes. (Hopefully never!)<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I used to think highlighting the cheek bones was a totally unnecessary step (same with blush), but after playing with it. I really like how it lights up my face. I was skeptical about this product because I have read a lot of reviews saying this is too shimmery or too light. So I went for the darkest color they have for medium skin (bronze pearl) because I hate it when cosmetic items make me look like a ghost. I'm not into that Asian-trend. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This highlighter comes out to $13.99 so after the ECB, it's half priced at $7 + tax. Overall between testing it yesterday and wearing it today, I really like it. I mean its not as convenient to bring around like the Watts Up sample, but it definitely does the trick and seems to be the right color on my skin to give me that glow finish I want.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

I also just ran to the Sephora in Philadelphia to find the whole shelf the product was gone (including it's play with me sample). So being the obsessive person I am and totally loving the colors and knowing that it's limited edition, I needed to find somewhere else that had it and had a discount.<br />
<br />

Many sites do not carry this palette, but of course the <a href="http://anastasiabeverlyhills.com/tamanna-palette.html">Anastasia</a> site does! Luckily the site offers free shipping for orders above $29. In addition, if you sign up for their newsletter you can get 10% off using the code "WELCOME10". Although this does not match the 20% off at Sephora (and no Sephora points), it is still a good deal considering Sephora is out of stock and who knows if they will restock.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It also is available from <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/anastasia-beverly-hills-tamanna-palette-limited-edition-85-value/3812369?origin=category">Nordstrom</a> price matched for ($26.10) great if you want to use a CB portal & 5% Chase Freedom for department stores!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For $29 and loving the fall colors this might be my new travel palette! I will swatch when it comes in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
I did contact Sephora to ask if they willing be restocking this and this is the response I got:<br />
<a href="http://www.sephora.com/" style="background-color: white; color: #1155cc; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" target="_blank"></a><br />

Target offers a one-time beauty box (<a href="http://www.target.com/p/target-beauty-box/-/A-16331809#prodSlot=_1_1">Click Here</a>) for $7 + free shipping. Unlike other beauty boxes, you know what you are going to get when you order this box. I wasn't sure if I would order this box, but after reading what other people thought about it and learning that the dry shampoo itself was $7 I figured why not. After all, I always wanted a NYX Milk to try. I do wish that Target would do a seasonal box subscription similar to WalMart so that I can always be guaranteed to receive one in the future. </div>

I received my Birchbox for October early, and boy am I pleased. When I saw a sneak peek that it would be possible for you to get a beauty blender, I crossed my fingers and hoped, because a Beauty Blender has been in my Birchbox cart for awhile. I just haven't pulled the trigger yet.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">beautyblender + deluxe solid cleanser - I've been praying to the Birchbox gods to get this!

I went to CVS last night - purely to get a good deal. Right now if you scan your extra care card you get a $5 off coupon for beauty products over $15.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In addition, Physicians Formula had a deal for $7 extra care bucks for spending at least $10 in products (basically 1 product).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Other extra care bucks (ECB) deals: </div>
<ul>
<li>L'Oreal Facial Care ($10ECB/$30)</li>
<li>CoverGirl Olay Facelift Effect ($5 ECB)</li>
<li>Maybelline & L'Oreal ($5 ECB/$15)</li>
<li>CoverGirl ($5 ECB/$25) </li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Other Offers:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Make Up Academy had buy 2 products, get the 3rd free.</li>
<li>Relvon, Rimmel, Milani had buy one get one half off.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, I spent awhile at CVS trying to think up the best bang for my buck while still sticking to products that I would use. I had an $11 gift card from a previous extra care buck event. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At first, I was very tempted to just buy a Physicians Formula product (PS. I spent time in store reading reviews on various blushes) and Ardell Lashes ($4.49). This would total $12.79+$4.49 - $7ECB - $5 Beauty Coupon = $5.28 for 3 products</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My next thought was to buy Physicians Formula Blush, 2 Make Up Academy lashes (get one free) for a total of $12.79 + $5 + $5 - 7ECB -5 Beauty Coupon = $10.79 for 4 products - but then I have never tried Make Up Academy lashes and well I just don't wear fake lashes that often.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I looked through my coupon stash and came up with this combination:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Physicians Formula Blush ($12.79) <br />+ Rimmel Stay Matte ($5.99) <br />+ Rimmel Lipstick ($5.49) <br />- $2 Rimmel Coupons ($1 per product) <br />- $2.75 (BOGO50%) <br /><u>- $5 Beauty Coupon </u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
$14.53 <br />-<u> $11 gift card </u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
$3.53 + tax (I also got a 7ECB to use next time!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think I did well! </div>

</div>
I love Birchbox. For an annual subscription, Birchbox was offering it at $99/12 months vs. the normal $110. In addition, they provided this beautiful Cynthia Rowley gift which includes this really cute bag, liquid eyeliner, and a palette. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, I believe the offer is over, but keep an eye out for other wonderful Birchbox offers!<br />
<br />
I have to admit that after my friend gifted me a subscription, I've been hooked. I have already gifted 2 subscriptions and am considering gifting another...addiction much?<br />
<br />
I did not swatch any products, because I might want to gift!<br />

I was able to jump on HSN.com's sale when they had $20 off something over $40. $22 + tax for the Lorac Pro 2? Sign me up ASAP. I received my palette last week and decided there's a million swatches out there so I didn't swatch the eyeshadows. Overall I'm loving, but still learning how to use this palette. I'm more of a neutrals sort of girl, so its a challenge getting work appropriate eyes together in a jiffy in the morning. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The shipping took nearly 2-3 weeks to arrive, because HSN sold out and had to wait for Lorac to provide more. The box it came in had "this package is excited to see you" written all over it. Which I found hilarious. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As everyone probably has said before, the Lorac eye shadows are so buttery. I have heard of some fall out, but a quick tap of the brush will help with that. I love the slim packaging of this palette.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Do you all love the Lorac Pro 2? </div>

Allure also revamped their boxes recently so it might not be an accurate representation of what is to come.<br />
<br />
Allure's Sample Society had a sale for mystery boxes (probably to clear up old stock) so I order 2 orders of 5 boxes for $25 after applying a coupon code I paid $35 for all 10 boxes. The subscription is normally $15/month.

I am impressed with how quickly Beauty Bar's order shipped out and I definitely am impressed with the GWP that I was able to add to my order (they take more than one coupon code). A few of these items are repeats from what I got with I ordered the Allure Beauty Box, but that's okay! Just more for me to try out and bring on trips. I do kind of wish I got a different design for my Clarisonic, but oh well its just a pattern. </div>

Since I got a better deal from Beauty Bar, than Nordstrom, I will be returning my purchase there ( see my post <a href="http://firstworldmakeupproblems.blogspot.com/2014/09/my-buying-dilemma-clarisonic-mia-2.html">My Buying Dilemma</a> for more information on pricing.) But I did open my packaging box for some photos:</div>
