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!

Nail Polish

Essie VS. Sinful Colors

I bought this amazing nail polish by Essie as expected its a great product. Great quality and beautifully pigmented color.

On another shopping trip I bought almost the same color on complete coincidence, but by Sinful Colors and waaaayyy cheaper. The aqua green shade really speaks to me I guess. Which gave me an idea to compare the products to see if it's really worth the Essie splurge.

p.s. Say Hello to my new Hello Kitty :) 

- The consistency of both polishes were quit nice, not too thick and not too watery. 

- The pigment of both were great 2 coats of each provides enough coverage. Sinful Colors was actually more pigmented surprisingly. 

- After wearing both for a week they chipped about the same. I found Essie to chip easier, but that might be due to me being more clumsy or active that week. 

Here is a picture comparison.

Considering 

1. price

2. quality

3. color 

I prefer Sinful Colors! Here are the reasons

1. price: $1 +tax (this was on sale at Walgreens)

2. quality: more pigmented and equally easy to apply as Essie

3. color: I really like the slight shimmer 

You can't beat it!

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,
