My Experience with Lancome...

Last weekend I went shopping with my mom and our family friend, Shelly. Shelly is 30 and we get along so well. Shelly is really into coupons, she does enough smart shopping that she still get coupons from so many stores, but she also looks online. Online Shelly found a coupon for a 10 day supply of a Lacome foundation and a lash makeover using Hypnose Drama mascara.


My Macys accepted this...hopefully your store accepts this. Looks like there is no expiration...

Because my mom worked at Macys they were super friendly and offers each one of us a sample of Hypnose Drama black mascara. This was also because Macys was super busy that day and they were doing a free gift anyway.The 10 day sample is a small plastic container/bottle, they will match your color and what coverage you want.


My Thoughts
The mini mascara I was super excited for! But I'm so glad I never bought a full size, so not worth
it! First of the smell of the mascara is WORSE then Maybelline mascaras. This has
a heavy perfume scent and I smell it once I take off the top. Then once I put it on my lashes
the smell will stay for a minute or so. The effect of the mascara isn't bad
similar to my Clinique High Impact, but this seemed more wet, so I few lashes 
did stick to one another. This mascara also flakes under my eyes. :(
I know it's not waterproof, but my Clinique High Impact hardly ever fakes (when it 
does it's because I'm touching my lashes). I do think it holds the curl well and it does
look pretty. I think though I'll still still with my Clinique mascaras.
The lacome lady gave me a sample of Teint Miracle because she knew
I wanted light coverage. The match of color was amazing and would let
my skin shine through. I know I sound like a commercial, but it did give me a beautiful
radiance. So I thought to myself, uh oh I have to invest more money when I want the 
full size. Although after a few uses I started getting small break outs. This weren't 
horrible, but you could see redness and small bumps on my neck, chin and the sides of 
my face. I was so sad about this, I don't know if I will finish up the whole sample.
I believe the fragerence of the foudation was what broke out my skin, 
so I plan on finding something simalir at the Clinique counter, because at least then,
I don't have to worry about it messing up my skin.

Victoria Secret Freebie!!!

UPDATE FEB8th: So I went to try to get the thong and mini purse. The mini purse is a small see through red heart change purse. Personally, I don't think the purchase for the freebie was worth it. The thong (though I didn't take it out) looked poor in quality. From the picture, it looked like a string v string or something,that would easily fall apart in the wash. Either way not my thing, also you had to make a purchase to get it. I turned it down and just got the freebie item from my other coupon. I don't think they were happy, well VS make better freebies!


Girls get out there, you'll be happy to know Victoria Secret Pink has a freebie going on! All you need to do is sign up for their Pink Nation club. It's free, don't worry. Also if you give them your address they will send you coupon through mail as well.

This time VS Pink is giving away a free lace panty AND a mini purse! I'm really curious about this mini purse...I'm guessing it may be just be a chain purse, but all fine by me! Below is the link where you can sign up, Enjoy your freebies!

Snow!!!

Actually I'm not too excited for the snow coming tonight, mainly because my college is so snotty they probably won't even cancel classes :(. But we are getting up to 18 inches! The roads were already bad in the afternoon, I don't want to even look outside now! Below is a picture from the last snow storm, haha maybe I'll post a redone shot once I wake up in the morning.

I hope that all of you who get snow enjoy it and get snow days if
you're in school. :)
