This is the first Soap box that fortune cookie has launched and personally I think it was very successful. There were only 100 boxes (99 on the night of) that were available to subscribe for. Within less then 15 minutes probably it was completely sold out. There was an issue with the packaging they needed to order more or were waiting for the shipment of the smaller containers however it was only a few days and they gave you the option of having them put in other containers and shipped out to you. It took at most 3 business days for me to get my Soap Box and I literately made about 4 videos before the finally one that I figured out my camera and was able to work with my Movie Maker. The only problem I had was the fizzy I think should have been put in a bag or a…

Okay so I happened to win the whole set (You have no idea how crazy happy I was lol) from VampyVarnish.com. I recieved them on Tuesday, shipped from China Glaze, and did a youtube video yesterday however, when I went to edit it today I had yet again the same issues with the video. I will attempt (hopefully) to shoot another one today and if it works I will add it to this blog post 🙂 and now for the swatch fest….

So recently, I’ve gotten quite a few things here I will just share a few. I may do a video soon when I can manage to figure out why my camera keeps distorting the image 🙁 Anyway so recently, I went to the Cherry Hill Mall (my new favorite mall by the way!). Which I was excited because they have quite a few stores that I absolutely love. (Even if their Forever 21 doesn’t carry the + collection.) I paid a visit to Sephora and this is the first time I’ve EVER bought anything there because the one down town here is always soooooooooooo packed I never want to stay there too long. I’m always money conscious so I only bought sample versions of products this time around. I’m in LOVE with the tarte blush but I knew I would be. It’s a very beautiful as long as you don’t use too much.…

I briefly looked into what the beauty industry is doing about animal testing about a year and a half ago. Then for whatever reason I didn’t look again. Recently I looked up on a personal blog and saw some company names on there that shocked me. So I think it is time for a serious post. Almost all of the skincare products that I use, almost all of them are on the bad list. Companies like Dove. Aveeno and Neutrogena. I almost had a heart-attack. While the majority of my makeup is cruelty-free a few things like my L’Oreal foundation that I never use or my Maybelline eye studio master drama liner that I absolutely love and use quite often are on the list. I’ve heard some things about other inexpensive products that are cruelty-free. It amazes me that so many of these products still are on the list. Hopefully…

Probably my lease knowledgeable topic. To be completely honest I don’t really use foundation often. Once in a while I will, if it is a special occasion. But all in all I don’t really have dark spots or acne issues. I do however have very dry skin so if I was to wear foundation on a regular basis at this point with not knowing a lot about foundations it would not pan out well. For all of the items in the photos my most used would be my BB Cream second would be the Revlon Photoready which I really only use when I know there will be a lot of pictures being taken. I have not used my Loreal mineral makeup in quite a while, I just suppose I enjoyed the BB Cream more. As far as the packaging for that you can tell it could possibly be a reason for not…

I use a variety of products but as of late these seem to be my most used products. Mostly I remove my makeup with the ponds, clean my face with warm water, apply my cleanser. Clean and Clear I usually use in the mornings, the neutrogena acne cleanser which I rarely use or the neutrogena fresh foam cleanser (I have similar small samples in my travel bag). I use my Sigma Cleansing and Polishing tool with the soft brush for about a minute with the cleanser. Which by the way is a life saver! I’ve suffered from dry, flaky skin for years which gets so much worse in the winter, and this thing has done wonders for my skin. I feel so much less self conscious about it. My skin is still not great but at least it isn’t nearly as bad as it was and it’s so soft! I…

I have a few travel cosmetic bags but this one has been the one I’ve been using recently when I go to stay at my boyfriend’s house. Keep in mind I rarely use all of these products, but I’m a just in case girl so I’m prepared. I usually also have small packets of shampoo in the bag, whatever sample’s I have at the time and sample body wash. It’s a good time for me to see what other products I like since I generally use the same products on a day-to-day basis. I rarely use foundation but I also have a few foundation samples that I could put in there if need be. Also I sometimes use different eyeshadows depending on what my clothes are for the following day. What do you have in your Travel bag?
