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!!!

Here is the full unboxing video:

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.

Everything I received was extremely wonderful quality and perfect for me. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about my Ipsy bag. I highly recommend this for anyone wanting to try new products but not wanting to spend an arm and a leg to do so, or even someone who just enjoys getting some happy mail every month. I would love it if you wanted to go ahead and sign up for Ipsy Here.

Is e.l.f.'s Flawless Finish Foundation Truly Flawless?

I purchased my e.l.f. Flawless Finish Foundation with SPF 15 in shade 83111 Porcelain at Wal-Mart for $6.00 plus tax. To start with, the price point was amazing!! And I was certainly in shock to see e.l.f. at my local Wal-Mart. I squeed with joy! I had recently made an online elf haul and forgot to get foundation. This was a complete win. This foundation comes in 6 different shades. It's medium to full coverage and has an SPF of 15.

I just have to say that I am completely pleased with this product. It is the perfect shade for my skin and doesn't oxidize and leave me orange. It's not too thick where it takes forever to blend it out, yet it's not runny at all. I have applied this foundation with my fingers, a brush, and a beauty blender and the product works well with all 3.

I really can't find any flaws with e.l.f.'s foundation. It's inexpensive. The color I chose was perfect for me. It's buildable for full coverage. It's easily workable and doesn't melt off my face during the day when I use it with my e.l.f. primer. I recommend this product to anyone looking for a nice goto foundation. It is truly flawless!!

e.l.f. Haul First Look and Unboxing

I received my order today from e.l.f. cosmetics that I placed January 1st. This is my first look and unboxing review. I have been so excited to receive this. I ordered 7 pieces and received the Best of 2016 GWP. This was a nice sized haul for just a little over $25. Here's the first look upon opening the box:

There was no box filler but the box was certainly filled with products. I was filled with glee. Christmas had come at last. Other than the 17 day wait period, I am pleased. The ordering process was very easy through e.l.f. and all the products seem to be just as described. I will be trying these products out and as I do I will be writing my reviews. For now, here are haul pictures and product information. Thank you for stopping by and please feel free to leave comments or questions and don't forget to share :-)
