How super cute! Valentines makeup by Smashbox and Too Faced
So Hi again!
I recently received an Ulta gift card for my birthday enabling myself to splurge a little on my most loved material possession.... MAKEUP! So I waited until Ulta had something cool going on (stocking the site) and one day for 4 hers only they had it! Free mini UD all nighter makeup setting spray (love this stuff) travel sized Too Faced lip gloss, Smashbox mini primer, and sample of Benefit stay don't stray. So there it was the deal I had been waiting for! So I was surfing through the Ulta website and I came across the cute Valentines day themed makeup collections by Too Faced as well as Smashbox! I am already a huge fan of both brands so it got my attention. Then I did it....I fell in love with the totally cute packaging! Rarely do I make a purchase based on cute packaging alone as I have learned my lesson on that habit a long time ago. BUUUUT this was just to dang cute. I had to have it. So without a lot of thought I added the Too Faced perfect flushed blush and the Too faced eye shadow palette in admire me to my basket. I was very nervous as this was an impulse purchase and like I said, based almost solely on the adorable packaging! So nervously awaiting my package arrival I thought oh no this is probably gonna be not good. Then it came! And I must say I am totally glad I did it! The Smashbox palette has the coolest colors, highly pigmented, and the formula is to die for! Is like no shadow that I own in the way of the consistently of the formula! It feels almost like a cream shadow but is a powder. It is very smooth almost butter like and glides and blends very well.
The blush formula is great too (but nothing like the eye palette)and the colors are so sheer and shimmery. If u like just a tad of peachy color this blush is for you! A little pricey at I believe at 32 or 34 dollars (somewhere right around there) I would say it is well worth the money!

Hello Again,
So a few months ago I signed up with a site I discovered called Buzzagent, much like other sites I am a member of this one sends you coupons to try certain things for free (based on your "buzz score" and your "fit" for the campaign they happen to be endorsing at the time. Anyway,I signed up months ago and just now got accepted into a campaign! I received A coupon for a FREE Glade expressions starter kit spray as well as a coupon for a FREE Glade expressions diffuser starter kit (scent of my choice)! I picked up the scent pineapple and mangosteen in both the spray and diffuser. So here are my thoughts....first of all I want to say these are both very well packaged and sleek. They both fit very well in home decor. The Diffuser is quite nice looking with an actual wood design surrounding the diffuser. Secondly I loooove the smell , it is nothing less than dreamy. Price wise I would say its not over priced and very affordable. Both are refillable so you dont have to purchase the whole kit everytime. This scent is actually as described IMO , as I can smell mostly pineapple as well as a bit of mango. They are very cute and smell nice. Now will I be personally purchasing them again? Probably not but maybe. As far as sprays go I seen nothing that makes this one stand out except the totally cute package. It is on par with other sprays but like everyone I have tried this one is fine for a "burst" of yummy smell good , but just doesent hang around for more than a few minutes. I , personally wish I could find a spray that lingered a bit. As for the diffuser , again , other than the super cute, sleek packaging I found nothing that set it apart from other diffusers I have tried. The scent is great but it just doesent "diffuse" very much , as I have to be right up on the diffuser to actually smell the scent. from my experience with diffusers this is the main down fall with them. So for my final opinion I shall say the Glade expressions is on par with most sprays and diffusers but I didnt find anything that puts them above any other sprays and diffusers I have tried. Again this is just my humble opinion!
