Makeup Haul and Giveaway!

How I got $110 worth of products for $22!

I've been waiting along time to do this review and I'm so excited to finally post it! Here in the last few months I've been watching makeup and mall haul reviews and I honestly don't understand how some of these women aren't at least 10k in debt just from hauls alone.. I get that it's nice to own all that stuff, I'll be the first to admit that I'm jealous. But I'm also not 10k in debt with bill collectors calling my house all times a day.. 

During the last few months I've been going to my local Dollar Tree store (where everything is $1) and I've been scoping the aisles in search of those name brand makeup products some of us pay good money for. Now granted some of them are discontinued but it is my opinion that that doesn't make them bad. My favorite perfume is discontinued and it still smells just as good every time I wear it.. That just means that I have to buy it from Amazon instead of Walmart now xD Anyway, over the last few months I made 3 different trips weeks apart from each other so my store had a chance to stock back up on different items.. Most of these products don't last long as most are overstocks or discontinued. Sometimes they only get 3 or 4 of a certain item (like the Garnier Color Breaks pictured) and one person will buy all there is of that item. So like I said, I made a few different trips over a period of a couple months so I could have a chance at some really good items and then I sat down and looked up all of the products I bought and priced them retail. Some products are discontinued so I had to get prices from Amazon and Overstock but I always used the average price. When all was said and done I had well over $100 worth of products for a little over $20. I'll admit I wasn't all that surprised.. I've been shopping at the Dollar Tree for years so I knew deals like this were possible :)

Yummylicious Ripoff Rant

I almost didn't review this because I was so disgusted with what I received but I wanted to let you know what a crap ripoff this box is in hopes of saving you some money in the distant future.. This is what was in the 'Sampler Village' April -Mom's Sweet Escape Yummylicious Sampler Box. It cost a staggering $34.00 if you can believe it. There were 14 samples in my box, that's about $2.29 a sample. Ridiculous. I'd never pay that amount of money for a few pieces of hard tack candy and some cinnamon butter spread out here in the real world. Not only that but when I received the box 2 of the cookies were broken and the chocolate Crunch bar was melted. Of course I looked at the sneak peak pictures on the Facebook site before I bought the box but pictures can be deceiving. Very deceiving in this case.. Below is the picture posted on Facebook.

As you can see the person that takes the pictures is very good at creating a 'full' look. Making it seem like you're getting more for your money. After a good look at some of the other pictures I have seen the error of my ways. Anyway, I'm over it. Consider it a lesson learned. Sampler Village will not be seeing another dime of my money, I don't care if they're having the sample box deal of a century. As the saying goes. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me...
