Cheap Cat Toys

All cat owners know the struggle.  You put a lot of thought into what toy your cat will like and you spend time in the cat aisle just to find the perfect toy mouse or rattle ball.  You bring it home and your cat stares at you like you're stupid.  There goes $5 on one toy that they'll never play with.  However, I have found a very cheap toy that you can get at any store that sells craft items.  Read on to find out more.

Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush

Price: $7.99 at Ulta.

I've tried so many blushes trying to find one that looks natural and blends well.  I heard some great things about the Dream Bouncy Blush by Maybelline, so I thought I'd try it out.  I bought this product years ago while I was in college.  I still remember the day I bought this because I also bought the mousse version to see if the different textures would be better than powder blush.  Is it worth spending the money on?

Lush Haul August 2015


Do blogs even do Lush hauls?  Well, this one sure does.  If you know anything about me, you know that I am obsessed with Lush.  I spend probably three full hours a week watching Lush hauls on youtube and shopping online before realizing that it wouldn't be financially smart to spend $150 each week on beauty/bath products.  I only had a few leftover products on my Lush plates so I knew I needed to replenish my Lush supplies.  Read on to find out my first impressions on my haul.

Nails Inc Victoria





Price: $14 at Sephora

Normally, I would never spend more than $8 on a nail polish.  Actually, normally I'd spend less than $5.  So why am I reviewing a $14 nail polish?  It must be a bad review, right?  Wrong. This product is my most favorite beauty product of all time.  This is the only nail polish color that I've had to repurchase because I used up all of my original product.  What's so great about it?  Read on!

Elf Studio Bronzer

Price: $3 on elf

For those of you who haven't heard of elf cosmetics, let's take a minute to explain why I love browsing their website.  Elf stands for eyes lips face and it's a cosmetic and skin care line that is ridiculously affordable.  I mean, my absolute favorite eye shadow is a product from elf that costs $1. That's insane.  Now do their products reflect their cheap price?  Absolutely not.  I have favorites from elf that I haven't been able to find in higher end shops.  But how does this bronzer shape up?

Angels on Bare Skin

                         or                            
          $33.95 for 8.4 ounces
                     at Lush

Lush is known for making cruelty-free, natural products, but do they actually do any good?  Angels on Bare Skin is a face and body cleanser sold by Lush that promises to even out skin tone and leave a healthy glow.  I have tried multiple facial cleansers from Lush (in sample sizes) and this is the only one I've actually paid for...twice.  Find out the good and the bad below.

Not Your Mothers Sea Salt Spray

Price: $5.99 at Walgreens

After having heard so many good things about the Not Your Mother's brand, I had to pick this up.  The full name is Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray and it is infused with dead sea salt and sea kelp.  So, is it worth it?

Beyond the Zone Rock On Dry Shampoo for Medium-Dark Hair

Price: $7.59 at Sally Beauty

I typically trust any product I get from Sally Beauty.  I dyed my hair with products from there, I used their hair masks to repair damage, I bought my shampoo from Sally's.  Sally's is like my Sephora for my hair.  This product changed my opinion almost entirely.
