Walgreens Holiday Cosmetics

I couldn't help myself when I walked into Walgreens and saw the holiday section! Too many pretty things at affordable prices to walk away from!   : D


The following Twinkle Twinkle 5-color palettes were only $1! On each one, the "thumb" color was chalkier and less pigmented, but the other 4 were BEAUTIFUL!

I've added snowflakes next to my favorite colors. More snowflakes = more favorite!   : D

NOTE: If you're on this site on your smart phone, the pictures might look a bit blurry. If so, they get clearer when you click on them.









I tried so hard to capture how pretty the taupe with pink shift (3rd color below) is, but the picture just does not do it justice!

100 Instagram Friends!!!!

The thing I love most about Instagram is how easy it is to find awesome people.

Because of how random and weird I am, it's highly unlikely I'd ever find someone who shares ALL of my interests. But I don't mind. I'd rather find many people that share at least one of my interests instead!   :)

I don't see the point in gathering followers en mass. I'd much rather find a more select group of people that is interesting and interactive.

It annoys me to no end that people play games and make pleas to get more followers. It seems so juvenile to me. If you like my stuff, follow me. If you don't, move on. Simple as that!   :)

I consider myself lucky that I recently reached the mark of 100 Instagram friends. I would be perfectly happy if I never gained another follower. Yet, I will truly appreciate every new friend I eventually meet.

Life is too short to waste on games! So there will be no requests to share me or shout me out. I simply want to say thank you for being a part of my life.

Enter for a chance to win my Ariel themed prize pack!

Influenster Spring Vox Box

I got my Influenster Spring Vox Box finally!


Free items for review received are Rimmel London Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara, Kiss Everlasting French Nails, NIVEA Skin Firming Hydrating Body Lotion, Softlips® Cube, and Playtex® Sport® Fresh Balance.



Rimmel London Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara:
Love it! It is a great formula that lengthens and defines!



Kiss Everlasting French Nails:
Kiss press on nails. Easy to apply and super great hold. I don't wear these anymore, but I would wear these if I did! :)



NIVEA Skin Firming Hydrating Body Lotion:
The lotion has a good smell and does not feel greasy on the skin. I don't necessarily know that it is "firming", but I do like it.


Softlips® Cube:
This is an unusual shape for a lip product, but it's not inconvenient. My boyfriend loved the smell and flavor so much he wanted me to keep kissing him. :) so I did. Hehehe Softlips gives you soft lips! No greasy feel. Love it!!!!


Playtex® Sport® Fresh Balance:
I don't use tampons, but I will pass them to someone who does and I will get their feedback.



If you haven't checked out Influenster, you should!! See my previous post for more details!   : )

You've GOT to check out Influenster



I recently signed up for Influenster and it's SO COOL! You should check it out!

Why is it so cool?

You get the chance to rate products, write reviews, answer questions about the things you know, and take surveys. As you do these things, you build your score and unlock badges. Connecting with your active social media networks will raise your score as well. The higher your score, the more likely you'll be approved to unlock Brand badges and VoxBox badges.

Brand badges and VoxBox badges are the REALLY fun part. They require you to complete tasks and you are rewarded in return.

I joined April 21st (less than a month ago) and I have already earned 2 brand badges and just qualified for my first VoxBox!!!

The VoxBox is a package with items that Influenster sends to your home to try, rate, review, and share. There is no cost to you and I CANNOT wait to get mine!!!



The two brand badges I have completed were for Ebay and the movie Labor Day



I've completed the tasks for the Ebay badge and I'm just waiting for approval. Then I will get a $25 Ebay gift card! WOOT WOOT!



I've earned the Labor Day badge. Cross your fingers for me!!! Hopefully I'll win the movie!!!   :)

This site is so interactive and so fun!!! You should give it a try!!!

Sample kiosk at Walmart!?

Have you seen this thing!?

My local Walmart had a kiosk called "Sample It". Sorry for the blurry picture... I was trying to be inconspicuous!   Hehe.  If you'd like, you can see a better one at SampleIt.com.



Basically, you buy samples from various categories and you get coupons that offset the price of the samples.  Most samples are only $1.

For Mother's Day, this kiosk was advertising free fragrance samples. 

You just touch the screen to start and pick a category. My kiosk has skincare, hair, fragrance, cosmetics, and health and wellness.  After adding THREE free fragrances, I browsed the other samples and found Rimmel's Fix and Perfect Primer for $1! I was excited! 

Rimmel's Stay Matte foundation is my favorite I've found so far, so I already wanted to try a Rimmel primer. I touched the button to proceed to checkout and felt that nerdy rush of adrenaline you get from an awesome deal. Lol!


Do you see this!?    :)    I'm a sucker for a good touchscreen!  Lol!

The three fragrance samples were:
- Red by Giorgio
- Fantasy by Britney Spears
- Someday by Justin Bieber

It also said I was getting 8 coupons worth $34.

There are no taxes, so it was $1 even. I entered my cash and waited for the samples to drop. This is where the unexpected coolness comes into play.

A little door opens at the bottom and you see pink glowing light as a platform ascends with a little black bag.



This was just for one sample! I got to go through this process 4 times! Haha!

So cute!


Then the coupons printed out.


Not shown here is a coupon for $2 off any full size Rimmel product. I used it to buy another shade of Stay Matte foundation. I plan on mixing the two to get a better match for my skin. You can see I also got a coupon for $2 off the primer if I decide to buy it.

With fragrance, I have a really hard time finding scents that don't "go bad" on my skin. After a short time, most perfume starts to smell funky on me. Samples like this give me a chance to try when it's convenient. When I'm in Sephora, I usually already have my own perfume on (Princess by Vera Wang).

I'll post a review of the primer once I've tried it. Here is a picture to give you an idea of the size.


Pretty decent size for the price, in my opinion. Especially considering everything else I got.

If you've seen these, I'd love to hear about your experiences.

Let me introduce myself!

Hi there!

My name is Christina. I am currently an art-kid trapped in a corporate lifestyle. I'm constantly exploring and looking for creative outlets.

Life is funny like that, you know? You set out to create beautiful masterpieces and you end up with an accounting degree.

Wait! What!? How does that even happen? Lol!

Loooong story! However, this is a theme repeated consistently in my life. I'm never just one thing or another. In a world of black, white, and sometimes gray, I tend to be rainbow. I love doing my hair, makeup, and nails and dressing up. But I'm also right at home in the garage working on my car. I'm very outgoing and friendly, but once I'm home, I'm kind of a hermit. Lol!

As time goes on, I'll talk more about some of these things. But often I will just be sharing what makes me happy. Because there is only one thing I want out of this blog: to find like-minded people. Nobody is going to share ALL of my interests. And that's ok. My hope is to find people who are as passionate as I am about the things I love.

If you stumble upon my little page and find that you can relate, please post a comment and let me know. Let's talk about the things we have in common and create a world of support and encouragement!!!
