Where I buy my beauty:

In this post I'm gonna talk to you about where I buy my everything beauty. Makeup, hair care, skin care, all of it. Well of course I can't mention everywhere but a summary none the less.

Makeup:

1) Drugstores..Duh! I'm a drugstore makeup fanatic, and you'd better believe I shop at Walmart, Target, Walgreens, HEB and CVS! Sadly I don't have stores like Fred Meyer's or Rite Aid in my area but if I did I'd obviously check them out as well. ( I also buy most of my skin care and hair care at the drugstore )

2) Online. I get A LOT of beauty shopping done online. (Mainly because you can find the best deals!)  Amazon is my biggest weakness. I'm always on there finding awesome prices and free shipping. Cherry Culture also has some cool finds that include some discontinued items you may not be able yo find anywhere else. Hautelook always has awesome sales on their site. The Balm, Urban decay, Laura Geller, NYX, NuMe, and Stila are always on at discounted price. The trick is to get 'em before their gone! Drugstore.com has like everything drugstore related online, so if you can't find something at a store near you, check here next! Lastly, I'm always wanting to try new E.L.F. products out because their so inexpensive and they do have some nice quality makeup! And on top of their extremely inexpensive prices they ALWAYS have deals on free shipping, 50% off, buy one get one, and free magazine subscriptions with purchase! How could you not give in!?

3) In-Store: Don't bite me, but I've always had a love affair with Ulta that I've never had with Sephora. I'll continue while I bite my tongue. Yes I love Sephora, and I do shop there, but Ulta is my number one. I'm there almost every weekend and I rack up rewards points like I do bottles of water. But I love them both dearly so of course they are the first's to mention. And no one can talk about makeup without discussing department stores. The home of high end. Ehhhh... I prefer Ulta and Sephora but if I can't get what I need there, Dillard's, Macy's, and Nordstrom's are of course useful too :)

None Makeup:

Bath and Body Works: Can we just discuss how amazing this store is? Amazing. I don't think I can walk in without smelling almost everything they sell. I love this store not only for their body fragrances, but for their hand sanitizers, hand soap, and their oh so famous Slatkin & Co. Candles!
(BTW their Semi-Annual Sale is going on... RIGHT NOW, and if you walk in store some time before the 7th, they'll hand you an extra 20% off your entire purchase coupon!)

Victoria's Secret PINK: Again, I'm a sucker for fragrances. Although I'm all about Victoria's Secret in general, the beauty related topic of this store is their PINK fragrances. Have you smelled some of their newer spring/summer scents! They are a bit more pricey than B&BW, but they always have sales like 2/20 and 3/30! And the fragrances...the smell...<3! Okay, 'nuf said.

Amazon: Did I not say it was my weakness? Yes I buy makeup there but there are so many none makeup beauty items on this website it is almost impossible (for me) not too look at them! I buy skin care and random beauty tools off of Amazon all the time, because... why not?

I hope I gave you a detailed enough peek inside where I buy my beauty!

Review: Vaseline Spray and Go Moisturizer

Let me start off my review by saying, I was skeptical. In fact I was more that skeptical. I thought this would be a waste of money, why do you need a moisturizer that you spray on when you can just use regular lotion that's probably more hydrating!?

Well I'll tell you why:

I purchased the "Total Moisture" Version, but this comes in Aloe, and Coco Butter as well.

Vaseline's Claims: Vaseline® Spray & Go™ Moisturizer is a line of quick, convenient spray lotions that moisturize deeply and absorb in seconds.  The revolutionary continuous spray-system dispenses lotion quickly and evenly for allover coverage.  The unique formula includes Stratys-3™ multi-layer moisture so lotion absorbs into skin with a few quick rubs. Skin is instantly moisturized, not greasy or sticky.

Our Total Moisture variety is infused with pure oat extract for healthy soft skin in seconds!

Going down the list of claims, I can't think of any that are incorrect. 

It is:

-Quick & Convenient 

-Absorbs quickly 

-Is not greasy or sticky

The only claim I can debate with is the moisturizes "deeply." I wouldn't use that word. It does hydrate my skin, I can tell. My skin feels smooth, softer, and less dry. But I don't feel like it's the most hydrating thing in the world. I feel like something that moisturizes "deeply," would be a thick creamy body butter. Something heavy.  

Why I Love it:

It's so easy! You get out of the shower, spray it on, rub it in a couple times, boom! You're done. Not greasy, no wait, get dressed. 

Or in the middle of the day, spray, rub, and move on. 

It's so simple. If you are crunched for time this would be good for you.

If you have kids, this is just the right mix of fun and easy!

But if you are one of those people (like I was) who are skeptical, at least give it a try. Yes, a regular moisturizer might be more hydrating but this light, none greasy, easy to apply, (and fun to apply), and there are just so many reasons to give this a go. 

And if you need one more, there are $1 off coupons floating around stores, online, and in the papers. So be on the look out for those!
