Haul ~ Ulta and Elizabeth Arden

I don't buy Elizabeth Arden any longer because I am converting, over time, to all cruelty free products. But, this video was in the archives and hadn't been published and I thought it was worth producing. Bottom line is that everyone makes their own choices. I don't presume to tell others what they should do. I only know what path I plan to follow. Tarte is still cruelty free and make up the majority of my Ulta haul.

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

Unless otherwise stated in my video or description above (BzzAgent & Pinch Me), products were purchased by me. I am not affiliated with manufacturers or any subscription service and am not compensated for the review.  I promise you that you will always get my full and honest opinion.

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

Beauty Haul - 3 luxury brands!

So, I got my mother's day gift certificates early this year. Macy's was having a big sale on everything.... except makeup. But most brands had some sort of giveaway.

Here's my haul:

Lots of fun stuff today!

For each of the groups of products above I got some freebies and also had a purchase with a purchase deal.

As usual, I plan to review all the products here as I use them. I like to try one thing at a time so that one product does not impact another, thereby ruining the chances of a good, solid review.

Here's my video (I guess it would be called a vlog) describing my shopping trip today and the haul I came home with. Excuse the throat clearing - getting over being sick.

By the way, I always wanted a vanity, and found out yesterday at work that most women want a vanity. So here I am at the "computer desk" and I decided to use it as a vanity - a fairly simple transformation. I can still pull out the laptop and use the surface when I need to, but a couple additions transformed it into a vanity.

Keep following my blog for product reviews and, of course, book reviews.
