Ulta Haul July 2016

Hello beauties! I have a small Ulta haul with an awesome summer beauty bag that was FREE! Ulta partnered with YouTube beauty guru Laura Lee (@larlarlee) and provided these grab bags with any $75 purchase. These are the great freebies: 

 

As you can see the bag came with some amazing freebies, including a full size gilded honey highlighter from Laura Gellar and fabulous foaming face wash from Bliss. These are great deluxe samples! Always keep an eye out for these types of freebies! 

Next, I purchased some goodies that have been on my wish list for a while now. 
Smashbox Photo Finish Pore Minimizing Primer ($39 at Ulta)

Buxom Full On Lip Polish in Dolly ($20 at Ulta)

It Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Pressed Finishing Powder in Translucent ($29 at Ulta) 

I can’t wait to try these new products! I need this oily skin and pores to be gone! 

I’m living for these three new palettes of mine! Go get you some!! 

Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit in Sundipped ($40 at Ulta) 

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Palette ($14.50 at Ulta)

How to make easy money!

Hello everyone! Let me start off by saying that is post is not a scam! That is my promise. I wanted to share with you guys an easy way to make money. All you have to do is SHOP ONLINE! It is literally that easy. So a few weeks ago a friend introduced me to Ebates. This site has been around for years and it really does work. 

So what is Ebates?

Ebates is a company that gives you cash back if you click through the links of the stores listed on their site.

The company is an affiliate to many online stores. An affiliate is a person (or company in this case) that makes a small commission for referring people to businesses.

How do I use Ebates? 

It is super easy! You go on the website and sign up. They are offering a free $10 gift card to your choice, either Walmart, Target, Ebates, etc when you first sign up. After that you just go up to the search bar, search the store you want to buy from, click on the link that redirects you to that site and shop as you normally would. And that is it! All stores offer a percentage of cash back you will earn.

So for example, my first purchase was to Ulta. I purchased $86.59 and they were offering 4.0% cash back. I made my purchase and in a few days my Ebates account showed that $3.46 were pending for my order at Ulta. It really is that simple guys. I just received my first check last week, along with my Target $10 gift card, and have already spent them.

This is an amazing site that pays you to shop. Who wouldn’t want to make a couple extra bucks for just using this site. If you are interested I would really appreciate it if you signed up through my referral link. Referring friends earns you more rewards. If you want more info just let me know in the comments below. Thank you guys!  I really hope you guys do decide to save some money with this site.

Here is my referral link. Again, thank you so much if you do use it. It really helps me out! Love you guys and Happy Holidays!!

November 2014 Ipsy

Hello everyone! Here is my November 2014 Ipsy bag :)) I received my glam bag a little later than usual but that’s ok. The bag is super duper cute! Right up my alley. Although I do like the products I feel like I’ve enjoyed previous bags more. Ohh and I did redeem some points for an amazing freebie!!! Let’s get into the product breakdown:

Marc Anthony Oil of Morocco Hairspray: (Full size: $8.29 for 9oz) This hairspray claims to have argon oil and is sulfate free which is always nice. I do love this sample. And it smells amazing!!

Sample cost: $1.38

Be A Bombshell Eye Base in Submissive: (Full size: $14) I was so happy to see this product in my bag. Not only is it a full sized item but it’s a pretty bronze color. It is really smooth and creamy but it does not dry and stay put. After 5 minutes I was still able to smudge the color around so I don’t know about that.

Sample cost: $14.00

J Cat Wonder Lip Paint in Red Potion: (Full size: $4.99) Again super happy with this being full size but this products is not for me. I am not into these colors and this is a very messy formula.

Sample cost: $4.99

Elizabeth Mott You’re So Fine Liquid Liner in Gliterati: (Full size: $17.99) I like this product! SuperSuper dark black and the formula does not bidge. I’m skeptical on the glitter but I don’t mind it. Will I use it everyday? Probably not.

Sample cost: $17.99

Temptu Highlighter in Pink Pearl: (Full size: $27.50 for 1oz) Ehhhhh…this sample is ok. Not really my color not really my thing.

Sample cost: $2.75 for .1 oz

And my freebie was this Bare Minerals 5 in 1 Cream Eyeshadow Base. I looooooove this product and had been looking into buying one. I redeemed 1000 points and got this for free! Awesome :))

So there you guys have it. The retail value of my bag was $41.11. What did you guys get? Where you guys satisfied with this month’s glam bag?? Lemme know in the comments below!!
