Skin Care Fridge
October 19, 2019
I recently made a purchase that exposed my "too much" gene as Jenna Marbles would call it. I bought a tiny retro fridge specifically to hold my skin care products. Yup-- I'm that bitch now. You may ask "What is the purpose of a skin care fridge?" Well... there isn't really a purpose or point. Products don't necessarily have to be kept cold, but damn to they feel good on the skin if they are! Certain products may gain a little extra shelf life if kept refrigerated such as products with retinol or benzoyl peroxide. So, why not keep them cold!?
I do not currently have any products in my routine that are perishable, but I have in the past. Lush USA has an amazing mask called "Mask of Magnaminty" and it is perishable and must be kept in the fridge. I used to use this all the time, but got tired of having to go to the kitchen to grab my skin care. It got to the point where I would forget that it was there and it would go bad before I could use it all. I stopped buying it because I was wasting my money! Well-- now I can add it back into my routine!
Besides the perishable products there really is no need to keep your skin care products chilled. The only other benefit would be that the chilled products do help to calm irritation and swelling. I just like how it feels, so I decided I needed a boujee mini fridge. I like to keep my moisturizers, under eye patches, toner, essence and exfoliating pads in there. When I do my skin care routine (you can find my skin care routine HERE) in the mornings it wakes me right up and helps to eliminate the puffiness in my face after sleeping. It is really one of my new favorite things!

Budget Beauty: TJ Maxx High End Product Haul
February 11, 2019
Ya'll... I have a new found appreciation for the beauty section at Marshall's and TJ Maxx. They have so many different high end products for super low prices! I stopped at my local store recently and found some really great, high-end products!
Let's see the goodies that I got!
L’Ange Ondule Ceramic 32MM Curling Wand $119
I paid $16 on clearance! I have heard so much about the L'Ange hair tools and I have wanted to try them, but never wanted to pay that price! When I saw this is the clearance section I immediately took a quick video to send to my friend Alison and tossed it in my cart. Wasn't going to pass this one up!
L’Ange Aplatir Ceramic Flat Iron $109
I paid $16 on clearance! I rounded the corner after finding the curling wand and saw this flat iron on another clearance shelf and picked it up too! Good flat irons are hard to come by and for $16 I couldn't pass it up!
BUXOM Big & Sexy Bold Matte Gel Lipstick in “White
Russian” $22
I paid $4.99! White Russian is an iconic shade from Buxom and I already own the gloss. When I saw this matte version of the lipstick I was really excited and for that price who wouldn't be?!
Stila Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow in “Into The Blue”
$24
I paid $7.99! I have gotten a few of these Glitter & Glow liquid shadows from TJ Maxx before and I love them. A little goes a long way and I have never wanted to pay full price for the larger versions because I was afraid they would dry out or expire before I was able to use them all. The fact that these were so expensive is why I keep picking them up. And this color was too cool to say no-- the duo chrome is beautiful!
DryBar Detox Dry Conditioner $23
I paid $9.99! My ride or die dry shampoo is the DryBar Detox Dry Shampoo. I am obsessed and have gone through too many cans to count. I have only tried the Dry Conditioner once when I friend that was visiting had it. It was an interesting concept and when I saw it for more than 50% off I had to pick it up! Will report back if I love it!
Urban Decay Perversion Angled Eye Brush $16
I paid $9.99! Good brushes are hard to come by especially for reasonable prices! Granted-- this wasn't a huge discount, but still cheaper than I would have paid at an Urban Decay counter, so I am happy!
Anastasia Beverly Hills Blush Trio in “Peachy Love” $30
I paid $10.99! I love a good peach blush and the ABH formulas are to die for! I love these colors and I am really looking forward to using them as the weather warms up. And for more than 50% off I will really love using them!
I was quite please with my little haul and myself for finding the great deals that I did. *Pats self on back* I got $350.00 worth of products for $80! I saved over 75% on these items and they were all brand new and in perfect condition. I may never shop regular retail again! That's a lie and we all know it-- but it's nice to say lol Have you found any incredible deals like these? Please share any finds you have made at TJ Maxx, Marshall's or any other store! I love hearing stories of bargain shopping!
