Dollar Tree & CVS Haul ~ March 2016 ~ ELF, Wet 'n Wild, CeraVe, planner supplies

Thanks for joining me for my Dollar Tree & CVS haul – I can’t how much varied stuff was available at the Dollar Tree, and things are really $1 - unlike my local Dollar General and Family Dollar, where everything is not a dollar, in fact, most things are not a dollar. Hope you enjoy!

Christmas 2015 Haul ~ Murad, Smashbox, Urban Decay, Tarte #ULTAhaul / Smashbox

Welcome to my channel. Thank you for joining for my wonderful Christmas haul. Now have to go on a no buy until Mother’s Day. I’m really looking forward to using these products. A couple things I will do now that the unboxing is complete: Foundation demos and I’ll use that Murad set and let you know how my skin did with all those products. If I like the cleanser, which I’m sure I will, I will buy it, but the other products are way too pricey for me.

Mini Haul ~ Bio-Oil, Smashbox, John Frieda, Skinn ~ Birchbox, HauteLook, Sam's

Welcome to my channel. Here is a haul from Sam’s Club (like COSCO), HauteLook, and Birchbox shop. I have a few other things due to come in. The Bio-Oil was a life saver when my skin was dried out and actually felt sore. I still use the Murad cleanser that caused it, but am a little more careful with its use and always follow it up with my alcohol free Thayer’s witch hazel toner and a light application of Bio-Oil. Let’s just say, the Murad cleanser is a bit of a super deep clean face wash, which is sometimes really good to use. *Everything purchased was research and found to be cruelty free.
Bio-Oil is no longer cruelty free because they just started selling in China - crap - this will be hard to give up, but now that they aren't cruelty free, when this is used up it will not be repurchased.

Welcome to my channel! This is a very carefully researched group of products that are all cruelty free and available at Ulta - I rarely get to the store and do most of my Ulta shopping online. One thing I like about Ulta is the excellent points reward system.

Ulta Haul ~ October 2015 #UltaHaul @Ulta_Beauty @BootsUK

Welcome to my channel. I was fortunate enough to buy some Boots products from Ulta.com, and am pleased to say that I have verified that these products are cruelty free. They are produced in the UK where, as part of the European Union compact, no animal testing is allowed. Boots was and still is a drugstore in the UK. They have been producing their own skin care line for many years. Most of the products I purchased were from the Botanics line, but the cleansers are from the Number 7 line. I have started using the cleansers and absolutely love them. The serum and moisturizers are on hold until I finish some products that I’m currently panning.

Unboxing / Haul ~ BzzAgent, Pinch Me, @Ulta Haul ~ Physicians Formula, Too Faced awesomeness!

Welcome back to my channel – today I have a nice haul video for you. I belong to a couple freebies websites (links below). BzzAgent sends all full size products free for testing and review purposes. You need to have a place to review the item you receive, and they give different activities for you to follow for each one. Pinch Me is also a freebie site, but it is more to give feedback to their company partners, so you can review products as you use them, but I don’t think you have to. Pinch Me is a bit deceptive – they send boxes of full size products to a couple YouTubers to gain publicity, but what you get from them is always sample size. They come out with emails once or twice a month, always in the middle of the day, and the stuff goes too fast. I just don’t know if Pinch Me is worth it. Of course another freebie site is Influenster – I haven’t got a lot from them because I’m not very active on their site, but when I do get something I get a huge box full of full-size stuff.

My Ulta Haul – the largest portion of this video, is fabulous. I’ve been using the foundation and think I’ve found my Holy Grail foundation now. It doesn’t even feel like you have makeup on, yet it provides great coverage, but it lets your skin breathe. Truly great stuff. I’ll do a separate review for and demo for the foundation soon.

Watch my YouTube video

Here are the freebie sites I mentioned:

BzzAgent - you usually get 1 full-size item

Pinch Me - up to 5 samples

Influenster – an entire box of full-size stuff – probably the best

Follow me:

Beauty boxes I subscribe to – too many boxes again! I’ll likely unsubscribe E.L.F. next:

Boxycharm - my favorite box

E.L.F. Play Beautifully Box - cruelty free and ships every other month

Ipsy - generous sample size and sometimes full size items

BeautyFix - mostly skin care and hair care

Starlooks - cruelty free, great cosmetics

Walmart Beauty Box - seasonal (4 times a year), mostly samples with an occassional full size item

Here are subscription boxes that I recently, sadly, unsubscribed from:

Birchbox - a great starter box with mostly travel size products

PopSugar - random lifestyle thngs, very expensive box

And, I’ve suspended my Allure membership, so they won’t ship again unless I reactivate my account

Allure Beauty Box - also a good starter box

Marketing: I would be open to trying products from any company. Contact me if there is something you would like to send for me to try and review.

Ulta Haul ~ absolutely fabulous Laura Geller & Ulta cosmetics // #UltaHaul @Ulta_Beauty @LauraGeller

Thank you for sharing my fabulous Ulta haul. I can say without any reservations that Laura Geller products are truly gems – I highly recommend my viewers try a product from her line. I was hooked when I received a small blush in a beauty subscription and I haven’t looked back since. Currently the Laura Geller beauty line is my favorite, surpassing every other cosmetic line I have ever tried.

I also show my recent Ulta purchases (including Laura Geller) as well as a cool gift from my daughter. Ulta cosmetics are very high quality and have great staying power. See my YouTube video below, where I detail every lovely thing in this haul.
