"Perfume is the art that makes memory speak"--According to Francis Kurkdjian. A powerful tool that can send us on journey's through scented clouds. Today I will be reviewing a shop that I found on Instagram that specializes in perfumes through essential oils, soaps, lotion bars and so much more. Royalty Lotus is the name, backed by two brothers--Shawn & Ryan. According to an excerpt on their website;  "Ryan has a passion for mixing and making his own soaps, lotions, sprays, and candles. His passion for creating scented products started when he noticed not a lot of other scented products had the scent he wanted, he began creating more and more until he established a baseline of scents he personally enjoyed. He had also noticed that no other brands would let you 'pick and choose' what types of scents you wanted and he wanted to change that, but he wanted to go a step further and let people 'pick and choose' much more than just what scent they woul...

Look at all my goodies~  Hello everyone, I thought I'd post about the recent Direct Ships (DS) I have received from May 30th 'til now. Most of which have been the same few companies but I'm so very happy to see them coming in now, after a few months of my filing forms. If one shows up, that means more will show up and lemme tell ya...I've filled out A LOT of forms, so I'm pretty excited about my DS journey!!! For those unaware, you can sign up for DS by visiting Facebook Groups who specifically target just that. I literally typed in "Direct Shipment" and a gang of them popped up. Join, ask questions and get yourself involved. Some groups have easy link-by-link formats while others are a bit more complicated. I have found most of my groups relatively easy to follow, like riding a bicycle, once you know...you just know . Look around in some groups and I'm sure you'll get access into these forms. I can't really "post" a link because a lo...

Skincare is something that I truly believe everyone should be investing in. A good primer, a great exfoliant--a little TLC can boost the ego and make you feel ten times better about yourself. After all, we all live in this one skin, so why not have it glowing & radiant? As a makeup lover and someone who self proclaims herself a makeup artist (haha) I take pride in applying my serums and layering my moisturizers. My face is my canvas and I need to put in the prepwork to make sure I look flawless each and every single time. But I do understand that the constant "routine" of things can dull down and be quite...boring! How many scrubs can you scrub before you scrub a scrub...scrub?! lol I am sure you've asked yourself that question a few times, have you not? hahaa Touch in Sol is probably one of the most exciting, unique (and dare I say, beautiful ?) Skincare Brands I have ever graced my eyes with. Creams that can make your skin shine like glass to ...

Hello samplers and freebie hunters,  today's post is about one of my personal favorite places *or used to be once upon a time ago* PINCHME! I honestly forgotten about these boxes, I haven't really been keeping track of anything PinchMe related because after their latest format and design, obtaining goodies has been a literal arm & leg to do. I remember going into the account once upon a time, dumping all the freebies into my virtual "box" and sending the box my way. No struggle, just good o' dump & go. It was on a first come, first serve basis but now, I assume to make things fair (despite people complaining about it being anything BUT that!!) they decided to make it where we have to go through a series of surveys and free (sometimes) subscriptions/debit cards to grab something as silly as a piece of Laffy Taffy candy. There is only so much you can do for free before you gotta start paying for certain unnecessary subscriptions, wh...

The freebies look beautiful all together like this, don't you think?  Hello samplers and freebie hunters! Today is the day I post another Sampling/Freebie hunting roundup! As always, links will be included unless otherwise stated.  I have a TON of goodies to showcase for May 5th, 2020.  Most are probably already claimed but I will try my best to find links for those still available. I got quite a lot of freebies this round~ As is custom, I will remind everyone of the freebie groups I frequent in order to obtain what I have here for you all.  🎁🛍Direct Ship, Freebies and Fun🛍🎁 Direct Shipping & Freebies & Much More...

The haul of goodies~  Hello all my samplers and freebie lovers~ I thought I'd start posting more frequently on this blog with all sorts of stuff, including (but not limited to) my daily shopping experience and all of that. I have quite a few friends who enjoy these kinds of posts, so I want to do a little something for everyone on this blog. If you don't care about this sort of thing, I'm very sorry. Please, stay tuned for my future posts, I got a ton in mind--more sampling/freebie hunting posts (always with links included if I can!), Direct Shipping products (I have been filling out soooo many forms, I only got 2 items thus far but I can feel this is going to be a few of MANY! haha) I got a ton, sooo much in store for this blog! PinchMe boxes, Influenster products, 08.liter trials, Mattel toys, etc! But this post today is my 99 cent store haul, so let's get into it~

Hello ladies and gents Music is the essence of life, so having the right pair of headphones can definitely make or break the experience. Today I will be reviewing the SEVIZ Bluetooth Headphone! I chose mine in the beautiful vivid blue shade primarily because the color stood out to me the most. I think I'm pretty well versed in headphones. As a 90s kid, I was basically born with them attached to my skull. lol I know a good pair when I see them...err, or should I say HEAR them? hahaa To put it simply--these are probably my favorite that I own now! Not only is the quality of both the audio and product itself nice...the whole design is very sleek and quite fashionable.

My goodies~ Hello everyone,  This post is a Pinchme & Sample Haul. I got a lot of cosmetic samples and reviewing items this time around. Samples have been quite generous lately, I'm very happy and beyond grateful for the stuff I have obtained. Anything you see here will definitely be fully reviewed soon, to better understand the product and see it in action. I love sampling and I definitely love to review. I'll leave links if the products are still available...otherwise, feel free to add yourself to sampling groups on Facebook.

Hello ladies and gents,  Today I will be reviewing all 5 of my lovely Color Club Nail Polishes courtesy of Prismpop  &  Color Club  in my Prismpop Tester Bag.  Before I get to the swatching, I want to first say how thankful I am for this opportunity to test and review these! I am HUGE on nail art, I absolutely love the creative aspect of it. I love the subtle AND I love the dramatic. I simply love it all. These will be going straight into my collection and into the creation of some future nails for myself to wear and display. Every little bit will be used, I promise ya! hahaa First thing I noticed was the bag all my polishes shipped in. I'm pretty rightly obsessed with anything and everything Holographic (or color shifting, etc!) So, when I seen the bag glimmering at me--I knew, right then and there, that I was probably (most definitely!) going to be using mine as a clutch purse for my everyday wear! hahahaa  Packaging s...

 Hello ladies and gents I am bringing you another batch of awesome freebies/samples I have collected since March 25th of this year. I can't begin to explain how grateful I am for the assorted freebie/sample/DS/Etc groups I was accepted into on Facebook. A good portion of these items were found from admins of selected groups and shared with the lot of us. I am so pleased and so very happy to be apart of such a fantastic sampling community. I have so much to show you and just from a few days work of collecting!! My personal favorites are the Sopost freebies with cosmetics and the MACY'S Perfume Sampler!! But honestly, I love every single freebie I got thus far. (Oh goodness, I wonder what DS products I will be getting since I signed up for a TON!) I'll leave links if the products are still available...otherwise, feel free to add yourself to sampling groups on Facebook. I literally just looked up "sample" and "freebies!"  A TON popped up,...

I received this as a *surprise* gift. I didn't even expect the package, in truth but thought I'd put this baby to the test. As a cosplayer and someone who is always on-the-go, I was extremely hooked by the concept of a portable charger. I've heard about them but never had the chance to use one, so please bare with me my excitement. hahaa

Hello everyone, thank you for tuning in to this post.  The following images are of samples I put in for a long long time ago but never received... until now. lol Quite honestly, I forgot where I found these samples and I highly believe most of them are out of question for you to grab due to the time-frame. I'm sure a lot of the links to collect these will be either broken or unavailable.  But nevertheless, I want to document it for those who are still curious. So, here we go~

Hello everyone. It's that time again for a freebie roundup!! These are the samples from August of LAST YEAR because I couldn't post in time. Around that time, I put my Laptop up in shop for repair. I didn't get it back until mid-Nov, by which I was way way way overdue. I have kept photos on my USB of my freebies. Using my brothers laptop, I made file folders associated and categorized by date. So, when the time came I could just bulk post and upload. Which brings up to this post. If you are new to my blog, allow me to explain: I like to post about all of the freebies/samples/product review items/etc I have collected from various sample websites and testing places. I have a few websites I frequent all the time, so I always (if I'm lucky) end up with a BUNCH of items to haul back to me. Not only do I like to check out freebie websites but I am apart of a lot of reviewing platforms that I proudly post on. Not to brag but I do take pride in my reviews on these ...

Hello everyone!  In this post I will be reviewing two products from Urban Decay! I was gifted these through Influenster for testing purposes, so that is what we will be doing today.  From the website: " It’s time to find your Naked truth. With 50 shades focused on 9 intensities, 3 mastertones, and 7 undertones, Stay Naked Weightless Liquid Foundation makes it easy to match your true skin tone. The first vegan, breathable longwear formula to last up to 24 hours, Stay Naked has buildable medium coverage with a real-skin matte finish." I will be putting this to the biggest test, one that is of more concern to me.  On their website they claim this foundation is "waterproof" and I can't stress enough how many times I've heard this same little slogan time and time again from various other foundations claiming all sorts of promises. So I will be doing a mini "water test" at the very end, to see if it holds truth behind the statement.  ...
