March Obsessions!

Things I've been obsessing over this month

Influenster #SpringVoxBox

So yesterday I received boxf items from influenster. They pick certain people based on a survey that you do onliI'lneFD olloe on their website to review different items dependingn your answers. The box is completely free but when you receive the box you follow up with your account on their websI'll fite. The more involved you are online, such as reviewing specific items and showing your friends on social media the more likely you are to be picked for another box to review. Your more likely to get a box in the first place if someone who is already receiving boxes sends you a referral. So if your just looking to get free stuff with no strings attached this isn't for you. You actually have to do some work to keep getting them.

The #SpringVoxBox came in a mint green box, loved it by then because thats my favorite color these days! So some boxes came with five items, mine came with an extra item. 

I haven't tried anything yet but im excited about the air freshener and the lip balm. I've never seen it before.  I'll follow up when I've tried some of the items!

If anyone wants a referral just direct message me ur email on instagram @yummyavocado 

I Got a Dog!

So I haven't written on my blog for a really long time! I want to start doing more posts!  So I'm gonna post about what takes most of my free time now, my dog. About seven months ago I rescued a dog.  She's a pitmix from what I know, I don't know what she is mixed with.  I don't even know her age, which makes me sad because I don't know when her bday is.  She has one blue eye and one brown and has the cutest little face. The seven months I've had her I've had a blast getting to know her and all her crazy quirks.  Her temperament is kinda crazy...like me I guess lol. I've heard that a lot of times dogs mirror your energy, so her being crazy might be a little my fault but I wouldn't trade her for anything. When I say she's crazy I don't mean aggressive, she loves all people and dogs as well.  She does great at the dog park, the only thing is that she doesn't listen to me!  Without distractions she's actually doing a lot better.  The only thing is she doesn't come when called.  She's very independent, which I like because when I leave her I don't feel bad also she can entertain herself and doesn't need me to.  It's difficult at times because I don't have previous experience in owning a dog.  Also I'm no expert at training dogs either so some of the things she does that are unpleasant are sometimes hard to deal with but I'm patient.  I'm trying to get her training but it's hard when you don't have a lot of money to spare.I've looked at a couple of places that look like what she needs. I feel like if I take her to somewhere like petco or Petsmart that it will be a waste of time and money.  Not to say that those places aren't good, they just aren't what me and Mona need.  I've looked into some places where they look promising but they are expensive!

1. Calik9 they are my number one choice but are kinda out of my budget and are far from where I live.

2. I looked into Primal training but they are just as far and they never emailed me back.

3. I just put myself on the registration list for bad rap dog training, but they say that it's normal for a six to eight month wait because they are super full.

4.I emailed a few smaller dog trainers and one just emailed back so we will see how that goes

I'm really excited about having a dog, I've wanted one forever and now I have one! She has her own instagram follow her and her crazy booty @monabooty also stay tuned for more posts about her and all the stuff I buy her, because she is sooooo spoiled!

Mona and a Kong toy she broke within five minutes...it not longer squeaks.

 

I found L'oreal Versailles Romance collection at Target!

<p>So I was in the beauty section at Target and I was surprised to find a barely touched display of the L'oreal Versailles Romance collection. I'm not sure if its the whole collection but it was the colour riche balms and nail polish and some nail sticker things. I was wanting Pistachio Dream, the mint green nail polish, because Amarixe ( amarixe.com ) had posted on her instagram earlier about this nail polish so I snatched it up.  If u had a hard time finding this collection I would go to a target to try to find it.

Baghaus Haul!

So if you don't know what Baghaus.com is it is a site where they sell all kinds of hand bags.  I love hello kitty bags because I'm obsessive like that so I got two hello kitty bags.  But I didn't get them off the regular site, I follow them on instagram and they started doing this thing where everyday or everyother day they auction off a bag or two.  This is a great way to get bags for less then they retail for.  Well I guess this bidding concept really became a popular thing for them because they made a separate instagram account just for the auctions.  This site is super legit and has very good customer service.  I had no problems with them shipping them or for me paying.  When you bid you leave your email and they contact you if you win.  You can either pay over the phone or they can invoice you on Paypal.  So I ended up getting the backpack for about $18 and I got the purse for about $33.  I got them in the same week so I asked if I could get them shipped together and they gladly said yes.  So instead of paying $5 shipping for each I payed $7.50 for both.  I ended up paying less for both with shipping than what one bag is worth!  If you love handbags but don't want to pay full price I highly suggest following them @baghaus_auction on instagram.  If you want to know where you can find these specific bags on there website I'll link them below.

Cvs Haul!

So CVS is having some great beauty deals this week. One to take note of is that physicians formula is 50% off! If u happen to find anything with those wonderful $3 peely coupons u have an awesome deal. Plus if u scan ur CVS card you'll get a $4 off if you spend $12 or more on beauty products.

Also Wet n Wild is bogo 50%. Wet n Wild prices are already reasonable so any discount is good. 

So I picked up the new coverall cream foundation in shades 819 medium and 858 tan. Also I got the matching powder in 825B medium. Then I got the coloricon bronzer in reserve your cabana, I've heard that this is a great highlight. The two foundations were $3.99 each and the powder was $2.99. The bronzer was $3.99. Coming to a total of about $15.00 but with the sale the total went down to $11.46. The lady at the register was nice enough to hand key my coupon since my total was less than $12. So then my total was $7.46 then plus tax was $8.49.  I feel like CVS usually has good deals on beauty stuff. If you've been wanting to pick up some wet n wild I would suggest doing it this week at CVS.

Review:Revlon PhotoReady BB Cream

So I bought this product from target, I believe its $8 and some change.  It claims to prime, moisturize, cover like a foundation, blur flaws like a concealer and protect from the sun.  

I do believe it moisturizes and protects from the sun, but that's pretty much all it does.  I used this product for a week straight and found that it didn't really do much to cover anything, it just somewhat evened out my complexion and neutralized redness but not completely.  To get the most coverage I found that applying with the fingers was best.  Also it made me super shiny...not dewy but greasy.  So every time I had no choice but to set it with a powder.  I thought this product was going to be convenient on those days you just need to get out the door quick but I ended up disappointed.  Also I got the shade light medium but I think it was a little light for me.  

I can see this being a good product for summer though.  I'm very conscious of keeping my skin protected from the sun especially my face.  In the summer I can't leave my house without sunblock on or my skin freaks out and gets red and blotchy.  So this can give me some added coverage with sunscreen that I need to put on anyways.  I'm going to get the medium shade though.  

 In conclusion if you are looking to replace your foundation with something more light weight this is not the product for you.  This has nowhere near the coverage of a foundation or concealer as it claims to have.  Also those with super oily skin STAY AWAY lol this will make you into a grease ball immediately.

Face after application

Honestly when you look at the pictures my face does look better after application but I think some of it has to do with lighting lol.  Anyways this product might work for you if you don't need coverage just looking to even out your complexion slightly.
