Hello Everyone,

I made this Huge Random Haul video from the products I have purchased over the last few weeks. I am not bragging nor showing off. I truly enjoy haul videos because I normally find products that I want to try. I hope that this video may inspire you.

~Enjoy!

It's that time again! Time to open the February Target Beauty Box.

This month's theme is all about hydration, but in all honestly I am not seeing the contents of the box reflecting that. Oh well, I am excited to dive right in.

The Sun Bum Sunless Tanning Towelette ($13.59/5pk) is a product that I may never have thought of using before, but I am interested in trying it now in an effort to take care of my skin and not tan as often. I am a little worried about streaking with a product like this so I'm going to try it on my legs first, somewhere I can easily hide a possible oops.

 The Raw Sugar Body Wash Raw Coconut + Mango ($6.99) smells amazing! Even though I have never heard of this brand nor tried any of the products I'm really excited about this one. It seems to be an all around good for you body wash.

I went in for one product, I came out with something else...

I received my 2nd Allure Beauty Box a few days ago and here is what was inside!

One product I am still on the fence about is the GrandeLips Hydrating lip plumper ($27). This is a volumizing lipgloss which creates an appearance a fuller lips. I'm not really sure about this product because I do have fuller lips naturally so I'm not sure I would ever want to make them appear any larger than they are. I could see this product being of benefit to anyone who doesn't have naturally plumper lips.

When I saw the name Beautycounter on a stunning Navy blue box I got a little excited. I've heard of the brand and always wanted to try a product of theirs but have never gotten around to it. So luckily in this Allure Beauty Bbox I was able to get a full size other their lengthening mascara ($29). I tore into the box wanting to check out the product. I was a little skeptical about the wand on this mascara because it is thinner and smaller than most wands you will see on any other brand currently. While this may have been a slight issue to begin with I've actually thoroughly enjoyed the natural look that this gives to my eyelashes. The wand separates my lashes, and makes them look longer with out the clumping that can happen with a lot of other mascaras. I have been trying this product out for a while and I truly enjoy it on days that I wish to have a very natural look.

This next product stood out to me as a little odd in a beauty box. This is the Red Flower Moroccan Rose Candle ($38). Although not normally found in beauty boxes I'm very happy to get a candle to try. I smelled the candle and fell love with a soft hint of roses. While I do quite enjoy the smell of this candle, I would want to see what size the full-size candle is and if it is worth $38. The candle is currently sitting on my desk and can be seen in a couple of my upcoming YouTube videos.

The final product in this months Allure Beauty Box is the Olay Eyes Pro-Retinol Eye Treatment ($24.99). While I am not normally into eye creams and treatments, I will try this one to see if it really does decrease the appearance of the lines and wrinkles around the eye area.

Final Step:

I decided that this year I wanted to do some DIY Valentines. 

Here we go.

I wanted to make a decorated card that I could write a personalized note to my husband on. I came across a video on YouTube explaining how to do foiling with just foil paper and a lamination machine I purchased at Walmart for $20.
