Make up brush find!

Oh how I love a good deal!
I've been looking for a good blush brush since the one I have has been shedding all over my face. Not very attractive. So, I was considering buying a Sigma brush for around $20 which isn't expensive, but if I could spend less that would be great! Although, if it's good quality I'm willing to spend the money. Anyways....

I had some Amazon credit earned from trading in my books ($75 worth! woohoo) so spending the money wasn't a big deal. Check out my blog post about earning Amazon credit here

Thank goodness I didn't buy it yet! I was browsing Ross for a wedding dress (BTW they have a great selection of dresses for usually less than $20) and I decided to browse the makeup section, which is usually a mess. But I love the mess, it's like a scavenger hunt for me and makes my finds that much more precious. In my hunt I found this little baby!

I have never heard of the brand, but the brush was so soft and felt really well made. So I figured what's $4 to just try it. I still haven't found any reviews on the product, but so far it's been holding up. It isn't shedding all over my face and the application is smooth. 

Later, I found the same brush on Ebay for $10-12. So I reckon I got myself a steal! 

I'll share my other finds from Ross in my next post, so look out for it friends! I'm so excited to share them with you!

Amazon Student App!

How many of you have books hanging around your home? You think "One day I'll get to reading those books" well guess what?!? You probably won't! Sorry to burst your bubble

Although, one tip I've found is if you read right before going to bed, instead of looking at FB or whatever social media, you MIGHT widdle down that pile of books.

If you'd rather clear up that pile of books, check out the Amazon Student App. It's different from the Amazon App, because you can scan your books to trade in right from your phone! It's so easy to scan your books and see how much $$ you MIGHT get back. It's like a game to me hahah!



Money in 3 easy steps

1. Scan your book(s)
2. Print package label (it's free to send your books for trade in!)
3. Send you book(s) to amazon

Watch your money grow!!

The only thing is you will receive Amazon credit, not cold hard cash. BUT hey! everything is sold on Amazon and you'll find a use for it. If not, hand it over to me! ORRR buy something a relative/friend needs to buy on Amazon anyways, using your credit and ask them to pay you instead.



What can you buy with your amazon credit:
- Items you were going to buy anyways and buy w/ your credit instead!
- Make up/brushes
- Cute rings, necklaces, earrings, etc.
- Hot heels or wedges for the summer
- Splurge and buy that purse/shirt/jewelry/electronic you've been eyeing
- Save it! it doesn't expire!
- MORE BOOKS!



Keep Shopping, Keep Saving!

Love,

Todays shopping deals

Hello All!

Did a little shopping and wanted to share. Have you ever been to Daiso? It's this Japanese dollar store that is amazing! They have really great finds for cheap, things you never knew existed and are willing to try since it's only $1.50!

So onward! I bought..
cute pink make up bag $1.50-  Daiso
Cleansing wipes with aloe $1 -  Big lots

The next 2 items were on clearance from $2 to $1!
E.l.f. nail polish remover pads $1 - Target
E.l.f. eyeliner in black $1 - Target

I love my makeup bag! I like to separate my travel toiletries so this bag is specifically for shower items.

The cleansing wipes worked well they're thinner than the Target up n up brand wipes, but I felt like they wasted less resources that way. The wipes were still sturdy and cleaned well.

E.l.f. nail polish remover pads were so convenient for traveling and it seems like I'm traveling a lot these days! They're really thin and I used one pad per hand. The packaging doesn't seem very airtight so I can see the pads drying out if you don't use them quickly. But hey! They were only a dolla. I'd probably consider rewetting them with a bottle of remover on my own.

I have yet to use the eyeliner, but have heard great things about the quality of e.l.f products so I have high hopes!

Keep saving!

Love Jess
