Barneys Love Yourself Bag Review: Kiehl's Super Multi-Corrective Cream, Chantecaille Mini Brilliant Gloss and Mila Moursi Cryo Serum

We are down to the last two reviews!  Thanks to all that have followed up to this point.

This is an initial review of the Love Yourself sample bag that was available at Barneys in March.  I take 3 samples and try them for a week (or once if it is a monodose) and let you know what I think of it.

This week I tried: Kiehl's Super Multi-Corrective Cream, Chantecaille Brilliant Gloss and Mila Moursi Cryo Serum.  Let's get on with the review.

Hot Topic Hot Cash!!!!!! Starts April 16, 2015

Just in time for payday huh?

So if you're new to Hot Cash, I will explain it now.

There's a promotion period in which when you buy $30 pre-tax in Hot Topic merchandise, you will get a Hot Cash.  This is in essence a coupon allowing $15 off any purchase $30 or more.  The beauty about this is that in stores, at least the ones I go to, you can stack them to allow for basically 50% off your purchase.  The time to earn Hot Cash is coming to an end, and the time to redeem Hot Cash is fast approaching.

So what to do with all those pieces of paper?

And so comes another review!

In case you're wondering on the format of these reviews, I take 3 items from the gift bag that was available during Barneys Love Yourself event in March.  I try them out for a week and give you my thoughts.

This week I tried Valery Joseph EXTEND Hairspray, Armani Black Ecstasy Mascara and Tatcha Aburatorigami Blotting Papers.

Barneys Love Yourself Sample Bag Review: Kevyn Aucoin Lip Liner, Givenchy Phenomen'eyes Mascara and 3Lab Perfect Cream

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!  While it was raining in the morning for us in SF, by the afternoon things were drying off and the night was lovely.

So I have 3 more products to review for you from the Barneys Love Yourself Bag that was available last month.

Barneys Love Yourself Sample Bag Review: Nars Restorative Night Treatment, Oribe Supershine Moisturizing Cream and Revive Moisturizing Renewal Cream Supreme

So another review is to be had.

This time I looked at the following: Nars Restorative Night Treatment, Oribe Supershine Moisturizing Cream and Revive Moisturizing Renewal Cream Supreme.

First off can I say that product names are just getting ridiculously long nowadays.  I understand the need for differentiation but come on!  My fingers are getting arthritic typing these product names.

Barneys Love Yourself Sample Bag Review: La Mer Illuminating Eye Gel, Sunday Riley Good Genes and Sisley Ecological Compound

With so much good stuff coming from these bags why have I never done any reviews?

Simply put I give most of the samples away.  I keep the ones I like and the ones I wouldn't use end up in a box that I either pass around to friends or throw in as random freebies to my auctions.

However with this recent bag I find myself loving most of items in the bag.  So, in an attempt to actually use the contents of my bag of awesome samples, I decided I would try out each skincare item for a week.  For those samples that are mainly monodoses or are too small to last a week I will give my initial impression.

Because honestly what's the point of getting a bag of high end samples if you're just going to let them sit there?  Don't wait for a special occasion to use them.  You never know, your skin might have a horrible reaction to it and you don't want that to happen on a special occasion right? RIGHT!

Barneys Love Yourself Beauty Bag Review

So I'm way late to the game in reviewing this bag but better late than never right?

If you missed out this time fear not, this event is twice a year.  I'm honestly having a hard time figuring out what to buy to qualify each time now since I really don't go through skincare and/or makeup that quickly.

Ode to Uber.... It Was Bound to Happen..... Promo Code UBERITIS

I can't believe that it's been so long since I've last posted.  Needless to say I've been a busy bee.

 

So today I want fan girl you about Uber.  In case you don't know what it is, it is a driving service that comes in super handy when I'm planning to go anywhere around SF.

 

Fragrance of the Week: Terry de Gunzburg Bleu Paradis

I got this as a sample from Barneys.  While reading the description I thought to myself.... "I like rose and  I like cedar and I like musk, this should be perfect!"

And I got to tell you it's pretty damn good!
