BEAUTY UNBOXING! Jeffree Star Cosmetics

BEAUTY UNBOXING! Jeffree Star Cosmetics

HAPPY 2023! I wanted to start this year off with something super fun. You know how so many kids love watching other kids unbox toys?! Well! I thought I might apply the same type of thing to MAKEUP.

As you may know, last week was my birthday. During this time, every once in awhile I splurge on something completely unnecessary. In case you were wondering, don’t count my Joovv red light here because I bought it to reduce the scar on my face.

Either way, today’s unboxing is of a handful of things I purchased recently from Jeffree Star Cosmetics. Not only was I extremely happy with my purchase, I owe a shout out to the Jeffree Star customer service team, who had to replace my entire package; after it was delivered to the wrong address?!

Let’s get into today’s video! While you are there, please give the video a thumbs up if you like this type of content, AND, if you aren’t already, please do subscribe!

5 Unconventional Skincare Hacks

As many of you know, last year the dermatologist found skin cancer. This resulted in me having a Mohs Surgery in May of 2021. It also propelled my skincare routine into a whole new realm.

These skincare tips are all for at home, and most are inexpensive, under $20 dollars.  The other great part to these skincare hacks, is that they show almost immediate results, all within a week of use!

Amazon Favorites

Amazon Favorites

Happy Tuesday. More importantly, Happy JUNE! Today I present to you, my favorite Amazon purchases, organized by price range.   Of course, I’ve tried to include a good mix of products.  For example, you will find beauty related products, apparel finds, outdoor related items and even a few gardening products.  Also, you’ll see some dog related items on this list.  

Some are great gifts, and others are super functional for everyday life.   Bianca and I would love to hear what some of your favorites are. Lastly, I hope this can be inspiration for any gift giving or to treat yourself to something!

Previously mentioned favorites can be found here on my 2020 favorites post

By the way, the last most favorite thing I’ve purchased (just to start us off) is this great phone case.  It has a lined inside which I never even thought of needing.  It comes in many colors too.

$25 and under

Here you will find quite a few everyday items, mixed in with some of the products I use to enjoy being outside.  The canvas bags are labeled for makeup, but I use mine as a mini bag to organize the inside of my purse.  You will also see personalized dog collars in this section.  My little Bianca loves hers which includes her full name and our phone number (just in case!)  I found the collars to be high quality and they’ve lasted me over a year!  I bought the corresponding leashes to go with them too.

$25 - $50

This section is filled with some home goods, footwear and other comforts!  Plus, a bubble maker (who doesn’t like the magic of bubbles?!)  You will see coffee related items in this section too.  If you have a love for coffee and no longer have office coffee, the Chemex is the way to go.  This simplistic piece of glass makes for the perfect pour over.  Along with this is an electric tea kettle, something you’d find in every home in the UK, but almost rarely here in the states.  I use my tea kettle at least twice a day.  The one listed here is the Amazon Basics, it lights up which adds a bit of fun.

Higher Ticket items

Some of these items were gifts.  However, all of them I’ve seen in action.  The stroller was on a friend’s baby registry and she thanks me every time we see one another!  The patio set is mine, and I will say I adore it.  It is comfy, shipped safely and looks cute too!
