PinchMe and La Roche Posay Unboxing

Surprise Box from Forever Equal Hobbies

Today was a day of Happy Mail!!! One of my packages I received was a big box from Yaarii at Forever Equal Hobbies. Forever Equal Hobbies is a cool Facebook page where we share DIY's, talk about our sugar gliders and other furry babies, and some amazing vendors have some of the neatest products for sale. Yaarii posted an invite contest and the prize was one of her My Pet and I Care boxes. The My Pet and I Care box can be found Here at the Forever Equal Hobbies Shop. You get to pick your box size, Pet type, and your Pet gender. My daughter wants one of the Suggie Care Boxes. Here are some photos of my box for a boy dog and then I encourage ya'll to click on my YouTube video and enjoy the unboxing with me. Yaarii really made my box personalized and it really made me feel special. I loved the little details she put into the box like the decorated box flaps and the personalized card. It was altogether a nice treat and wonderful happy mail. I highly recommend you check out here products and place an order!! P.S. I'm eating the chocolate as I write this blog and edit the video :-) P.P.S. The nail polish does smell like pineapples when it dries :-D

A Box Full of Surprises!!

My table was covered with Awesome Treats!!!

March Ipsy Glam Bag

Today was the best day ever!! I just got the highly anticipated hot pink envelope in the mail!! For those of you not in the know, the hot pink envelope refers to the mailer envelope that Ipsy sends their monthly Glam Bags out in. Ipsy is a monthly beauty subscription. For only $10 a month, subscribers will receive 4-5 deluxe sample sized and full sized beauty products and a Glam Bag. Not everyone gets the same thing either. When you sign up for Ipsy, you let Ipsy know your preferences of what you would like in your glam bag. It's so personalized!! 

This was my first month and I was so impressed. I did check out the spoilers before my bag arrived so I knew I was going to be very happy before my bag even got here. Let's take a look at what I received.

Dead Sea Minerals Killed My Dragon Skin!!

I battle with dry, scaly skin on my face. It's very frustrating and I have recently realized I need to be more vigilant with my skin care. I have been purchasing one or two face care items at a time because funds are extremely limited. My first facial moisturizer was a thumbs down and we won't even mention it. I have done a couple of sheet masks that I have reviewed and they were nice, but I still had scales. Tuesday I went to Dollar General with my boyfriend for a few items that we needed for the house. I walked over to the beauty section to see if they had any sheet masks that looked interesting. I didn't see any sheet masks but I did see a Dead Sea Mineral Anti-Stress Clay Face Mask (Not the Freeman's one). I thought anything that is anti-stress is worth trying so I went ahead and picked up the last three they had. I also picked up a new moisturizer that I will be reviewing later.

 So last night after my shower, I exfoliated with my St. Ives Apricot Scrub. I then went ahead and used the Dead Sea Minerals mask. It was blue!! It was my first time ever using a clay mask so I was quite tickled with the whole process. It felt so weird!! It didn't really have any kind of smell to it. There was really no sensations until later when it started to dry and then I could feel a tightening of my face that wasn't unpleasant at all. The instructions said to relax and allow the mask to dry. I felt fun and silly with a blue face so instead, I took a bunch of Snapchat pics, and posted on Instagram and Twitter and Facebook. I loved it. It was a fun experience for me. 

Once it was dry, I wet a washrag with warm water and began wiping it off. And then I rinsed my wash rag, and then I wiped some more, and then rinsed, and then wiped, and repeat....lol. It was a long, blue process. After I finally got all the blue off my face I gently patted dry my face with a clean towel. I didn't notice any dry patches. I touched my face. Oooooh...It felt so smooth!!! Then I put on my Elf Cosmetics Illuminating Eye Cream and my new moisturizer. I touched my face again. Ohmygoodness!! I was in face texture heaven!!! My face hasn't felt this nice and smooth in so long. I almost cried. It's the next morning as I'm writing this and I've washed my face and applied my eye cream and moisturizer for the day and my face is still baby smooth. I am so impressed. I'm very glad I have two more of these masks because I will certainly be using them. Now I have to stock up on some more.

 I am disappointed that I cannot find a website for them directly to give them credit. I posted a link above where they can be purchased. I bought mine at Dollar General. They were $1 each. You really cant go wrong with that. And there was enough product in the package that you could probably do two masks if you want to do masks with a friend. I highly recommend this product!!

YesTo Coconut or CocoNOT?

Last Monday I tried out YesTo Cucumbers Soothing Calming Paper Mask. I completely enjoyed it. So my super amazing boyfriend went and got me another one and picked me up another "flavor" of the YesTo masks. Today I gave YesTo Coconut Hydrate & Restore ultra hydrating Paper Mask a try. The scent was very subtle yet certainly very nice and coconutty. I applied it, sat back and relaxed for the next 10 minutes. It was very enjoyable. No burning or irritation. My face was very red when I removed the mask. Much redder than when I removed the cucumber mask. The redness all faded away after about 30 minutes or so. Overall it was a nice mask. The only gripe I had with it is that it didn't seem to be any more hydrating than the cucumber mask. I will give it another try and see if I feel any different about it. YesTo products can be found at Ulta, Wal-Mart, Target, Amazon, or your local drug store. Also, here is YesTo's website  for more information about the brand and products they offer.
