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!

Review: Jordana Modern Matte Lipstick

Matte lips are all the rage right now even though almost every brand I know makes a perennial matte lipstick.

Today I went to Walgreens and picked up the new Modern Matte Lipsticks from Jordana.  These were about $2.49 each so I figured why not...

Fragrance of the Week: Dolce by Dolce and Gabbana

It's been a while hasn't it?

Apologies for not keeping up to date but I have been busy with life and such that is so boring I will stop talking about it now.

Onto the fragrance!

Frosty Voxbox Review!!!!

So after much testing I am finally able to review my Frosty Voxbox that was sent complimentary from Influenster.com for testing and review purposes.

Initial Review: Rimmel Show Off Lip Velvet

First off Happy New Year!!!!!!!

So matte liquid lipsticks seem to be all the rage for the new year.  So long glossy stains, it was a fun ride.

So I got these at Walgreens where at the time of this post they were buy one get one half off (Remember when everything was buy one get one free?  Who's the ass that came up with buy one get one half off?).  You also got 3,000 points with a $10 Rimmel purchase.  I honestly still don't get how the Walgreens reward card works though, I just know I need it to get certain discounts so I'm all in.  At $5.29 each regular price they come up to a little less than $4 each after the discount.
