PINCHme Samples...

These are some samples I received from PinchMe.  I should have also gotten one of Tom's Deodorant, but it wasn't in there sadly, I was looking forward to trying it.

Was really excited for the Sinful polish.  Really pretty color.  I didn't get to take a good photo of it when I wore it though, maybe next time.

Next samples go up on the 26th I saw, at noon, though I'm not sure which time zone it was in off hand.

MOAR Empties!

- More recent empties for the trash.  Working my way through more shampoo/conditioner samples.  My friend Aaron and his mom gave me a bunch more in my birthday package and some of these came from there (Thank you Aaron and Debbie), I probably have enough now that I don't have to buy shampoo or conditioner all summer which is pretty awesome!

Then I also finally finished the Clean % Clear from my Project Pan, I miss it dearly though, I'm not 100% that they still make it, but if they do I'm going to need to get some sometime in the future.  I'm using the Wet N Wild make up remover and I do not like it.  Also the body wash by Clean & Clear was awesome I wouldn't mind a full size of that one.  <3

Empties For The Trash...

- Some more empties for the trash.

Mainly all hair stuff with the exception of the one Ahava lotion, which was amazing, and I totally want a full size, I loved the smell soooo much.   But it's a little more than I normally would spend on lotion, so I haven't gotten any, and I'm sure I have plenty of lotion I should use up first (although my birthday is in 2 weeks pretty much so anyone thinking of a present for me haha)

I did not like the smell of the Fructis.   The Nexxus was nice, but I feel I should have skipped the leave in because it just made my hair feel eh.  I really didn't like the TRESemme either, it also didn't make my hair feel good - I still have one use left in the shampoo bottle, so expect to see it in the next empties post.   And the Fekkai's were nice too.

Cutest Samples...

- These are just some of the most adorable samples I've gotten lately, aren't they the cutest?  I'm using them right now, so they'll probably be in my next empties post but I wanted to show you how cute they were. 

You can kind of see my Color Club Bloom skittles I was rocking before here too, see them better HERE.

This is also my 370th post, that feels kind of amazing and epic.

Freebie Bag And Samples...

- This was just a freebie I caught on Tampax (or Always?) facebook page, I'm glad I got in on it, cause the bag is adorable.   And samples/coupons are awesome too.  I just wanted to share this cause I thought the bag was so cute.

Empties, Future Posts, Box Supscriptions...

- Some more empties.

I had some full size shampoo/conditioners laying around with only a little bit left in them because I'd get a new one and just quit the old one because I'd be excited for the new one.  So I used up one of the pairs I had laying around.

Then I also used up a travel size shampoo.

A travel size baby lotion.

And a pack of cotton rounds.

I'm soooooo close to finishing off that darn make up remover, but I just haven't been wearing make up much lately, fail I know.  But I've been so busy downsizing, cleaning, and trying to slowly get ready to move.   I still don't know exactly when I'm moving but I know I still have a long road ahead of me just with all the cleaning and downsizing.

I have a bunch of posts I want to do.  I got some stuff via credits on sites, that I want to share.

I have my Glossybox I haven't gotten to post.   My spring Influenster box.  I also got Birchbox but I didn't take a pic of it either, but I was really saddened by it and canceled (again).   I also never took pictures of my last MyGlam, which was also lackluster and I canceled.   However I am expecting a MyGlam package atm because I won one of their contests and am getting May's bag for free, I'm excited for the lipstick that will be in it because I've been on such a lipstick kick lately.  But I'm worried it's going to be a not so flattering color, based on what I've seen other girls getting.  I'm glad I won this one, I  wasn't sure how it sits with me that most of the lipstick colors are discontinued and I was told that the Urban Decay eyeliners (which don't get me wrong I was thrilled to get mine) were just broken up from their clearance sets, it just don't bode well with me.

Even More Empties...

- I have even more empties to share today.

Two of these (or three? I can't remember if the nail polish remover was on there too.) were from my Project Pan.   The body wash and the EOS were.

I loved that body wash sample from Ahava, I just got it the other day, it was lovely.   The shampoo/conditioner smell reminded me of a Fuzzy Navel for some reason.

Then the laundry drops I got from Birchbox.

And nail polish remover.  I need to go buy more on the double.

More Empties...

- Mostly just more little sample packets but I wanted to toss them out so I'm taking a picture to post.

Three different sets of shampoo/conditioner and two of the three each came with a extra hair product thing to try.  And then the one cardboard sample is a laundry detergent.  I'm doing laundry right now lol

The laundry detergent and the top sample of trios I got at Target when they were randomly handing out samples, love that.

Target Beauty Bag!

 - I got my Target Beauty Bag!  I was starting to worry I wouldn't be getting one due to all the falderal on their FB during the giveaway.  But it came and I was so excited!

I took a picture of the box while I was still in the car lol

- The bag is cute.   I was really looking forward to the samples.  I've been using a different Simple sample of their face wash lately and I like it, so I'm looking forward to trying these facial wipes.  And I got a conditioner which was surprising, I always get a shampoo and never conditioner - I wish they'd do both, I don't know anyone really who only uses one and not the other.   The Nivea will be my next hand lotion I use that sits on the desk.  I'm half way down with a Johnson's Natural sample (which I oddly enough got at Target as well haha

There was also a coupon book that came with the bag, it has some nice coupons in there, like one for Revlon and one for the upcoming Sally Hansen Magnetics, oooo.

Anybody else get a Target bag, what'd ya think?

Recent Wins!

 - First off I won a Essie from Cosmo, awesome!  Both me and my friend Sarah won, we stayed up for when it went live and both entered at the same time.   I was excited to get a package from Essie lol

Then the MIO was a freebie/sample but it's full sized and that's pretty awesome too.

 - Then this was my win from MandysSecrets blog birthday giveaway!   I'm super excited to try this palette, and the glosses are gorgeous.  She sent the single gloss as an extra because she didn't get to send the package as fast as she wanted and it's even in a color I think was on my wishlist, I'd have to double check but I'd pretty sure.  Either way I know the palette was!  Thank you Mandy!

 - And here Milo stuck his head into the shot.   He says hello.  He also wants me to thank you on behalf of him and his brother Leo for all the help I've gotten so far on the "Help Me Save My Cats" fund (located in the upper left in case you somehow haven't noticed it lol).

- These I won a bit ago but hadn't posted about them so I figured I'd include them.  I won them seperately but both from Covergirl on Facebook.   A mascara and a Flipstick lipstick!  How awesome.  I haven't open the mascara yet because I want to try and finish one of my current ones up first.

I won a Facebook giveaway yesterday but I don't have it yet (obviously) but I'll post about that when I get it.  And I did win a Glossybox a bit back but Idk when it's being mailed yet.  Super excited for that too.

Target Freebie Bag!

I got my Target Beauty Bag freebie today, I'm so glad I was up and caught this go live, I've gotten it the last two times before this too, I love these.   This one was gone so fast.

I really like the bag, and I love the shape it was this time that it's more square than clam shaped.

Then we have the Pond samples, I've been curious about those.  Then we have three different shampoo samples (The John Frieda is the shampoo I currently use, you may recognize it from my previous post.   And also in a footnote to my previous post, when I was saying I had tons of samples and trial sizes of shampoo/conditioners this is what I meant (well with the travel size as well) that I'll figure I'll work on trying to use up after I'm done with my full size product ones.)    Then we also have a Loreal Youth Code sample.  I was sad no coupons this year, coupons are love.  But I'm thankful for what I did get.

So yay good mail day, I was hoping this would show up today.
Tomorrow I should have my first Bloom order!

Zoya True Collection Spring 2012 and Zoya Fleck Effect Collection Spring 2012.

- OMGOMGOMG Zoya sent me samples!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I squee'd and ran all over the place and then hugged them for a long time.

I'MSOHAPPY.

This may be the best day (or well it was yesterday) I've had in a long time.

Thank you Zoya.   I've already done my nails with one of the purples which I will probably post tomorrow although I don't know if I can bring myself to take it off tonight to try another yet, I may just try the flakies on top and see how that looks and then post that as well.

Ulta Nail Polish...

- This is Ulta's Chic Peek nail polish, I love the color.  It didn't go on as smoothly as I'd liked but maybe somehow that was my error because the Ulta polish I used before did go on very nicely.  I do however want to rename this polish to "Caffeine Fix", idk why.

In the last picture is a free sample I got of some Vaseline lotion, I just thought it'd be adorable if it were a real tiny bottle, but it's not a bottle at all, sadness.

Sassy Minerals The Samples.

- Here's a photo of the samples I got from Sassy Minerals.

I'd ordered Tattletale, Break The Silence and Fierce.  My free samples were Wanderlust and oh I can't remember the other one, but they were both ones I'd been pondering getting, so that's always a huge plus.

Darling Girl Cosmetics...

- I got some samples I bought at Darling Girl Cosmetics.

I got from left to right:
Oceania, Plunder, and Tarnished

The free samples I got is a blush in Swanky and a lip balm in Bouquet.

I'm excited to try these, specially Tarnished.  And she just brought out a few new ones I'd really like to try (Oh that figures right after I'd placed an order lol)

Sassy Minerals...

- I just got this, my mail man was kind enough to get the envelope all dirty and wet, I think he dropped it in a puddle.  It's pouring outside.

I probably should have taken a more better photos but I just took this one out of excitement before I rip it open, because the presentation was so lovely.

More Detrivore Cosmetics...

- I got the samples I ordered from Detrivore Cosmetics 

I got Death Valley, Harpy, and Faithless which was my free sample, I thought it was interesting that Faithless and Harpy were so close in color.   I have a look coming up using Faithless.

DGC Samples...

- Samples I bought from Darling Girl Cosmetics:

• Mojito
• Electric Lady
• Mystic
• Exhale

Free Samples:

• Groovology (I was soooo sooo happy that it was a fun color and not a like muted dark not fun color)
• Dragon Pearl (lip gloss)

And I love the pink little envelope she made out of tissue paper, so cute.

Detrivore Eyeshadows.

- I got the samples I ordered from Detrivore, yay!  I'd ordered Scar and Brine and got Dreary for free, rock on.  I can't wait to try these, specially Brine so bright and lovely looking.
