Rimmel london worth it or not?

Absolutely yes! I love makeup but rimmel has always sold high quality makeup for a cheaper price. 

Their mascara (scandal eyes) has proven to be the best I have bought. I have tried numerous mascaras but rimmel isn't caky or stinky. It's a very nice formula that never fails to make my eyelashes look great. 

It also doesn't irritate my eyes like other mascaras. 

Rimmel eyeshadow; I have one palette and it has proven to be long lasting (especially with a primer) it blends well, highly pigmented. Their eyeshadow is sure to make your eye color "Pop" 

Rimmel lip laquer; the one I purchased was on sale while its a little too bright for me it smells incredible. I don't find it too sticky. 

Rimmel eye liner; I have the exaggerate waterproof eyeliner and it never fails to define my eyes. It lasts all day, not irritating, and is dark. 

Rimmel gel eyeliner; now this is where I'm at a crossroads, I loved one of their gel eyeliners it had a built in brush and it lasted forever but now I can't find it where I live now :( 

I purchased the scandal eyes gel liner (one with separate brush and the thing has a crown on the top)

and it was not so good. It was caky, flaky, and I didn't like the application. 

Fortunately I emailed them because companies want to hear feedback. They were extremely kind and appreciated the feedback. 

All in all yes Rimmel is fantastic and it is my go to daily makeup routine (even though I try others) it's hard to compare to rimmel.

On top of it all they do not test on animals. Oh rimmel you have so won my heart. <3

New site that led me to samples

Myfreeproductsamples.com 

They have a large range, nicely organized, and while some were expired at the same time there were more hits than misses. 

I swear I probably spent 2 hours on that dang site and have at least 20 samples heading my way. 

I will post what I get, I'm becoming a sample junkie. Inside its like a big accomplishment when I collect a whole bunch of them. I also enjoy seeing samples along with the shitty bills that I dread to open. 

Maybe it's because the packaging makes everything look important even though it's a small sample pack of lotion lol. 

I will update this post when I find more sites but seriously this one is good.

Carefree liners... :( one star

I'm going to be honest I didn't do many tasks for this campaign from influenster. First off I would feel awkward spamming my male cousins with my opinion on panty liners. Also I'm not going to post something that I don't actually like. 

I give them credit for what they are but in my opinion I can't imagine a woman using this for her monthly. They are a mm thin, what's the point? Second of all they just look small. 

I don't really have much to say except

1 star, 

Okay I'll be nice 2 stars. Carefree is a good and popular brand I just don't like this product.

Schick hydro silk razors 5 stars

So I honestly wasn't sure how these would turn out. They are disposables and most of the time disposables are cheap and cause nicks and dull quickly. These razors are actually freaking amazing. They last awhile and don't get goopy, at least mine haven't. I got it free from Bzzagent who also sent me a can of skitimate and a loofah. I chose to shave with my normal soap to see how well my skin would react. 

Five stars! 

Purina one smartblend for cats

I have gotten purina one smartblend free from influenster. I have to say first off that thank you God for influenster, I am broke and ran out of cat food today. 

The excessive meowing was breaking my heart but as I stepped on my porch there it was. A nice 18 ounce bag with a coupon for a free $10 bag. (3.5)oz 

My cats were immediately excited as I opened it, usually I give my cats purina cat chow. But the smart blend they fell in love with. I have to say I'm loving the stuff because my cats love it. And my Scottish fold has an easier time eating it because of the oval shape. 

Thank you purina and influenster! 

5 stars!

Purpose behind this blog

I have slowly but surely turned into a sample junkie, I think it's great to be able to get things for free before taking the plunge into buying a product that may just be crap. 

Too often have I spent money on products that were disappointing but of course I already spent cold hard cash. 

I want this blog to be fun, and I don't want to go on and on about advertising. I too have gotten frustrated with the semi phony liking of a product. If it's horrible I'm not afraid to say it, and I would hope that the company sees as well. 

I also would like to show you guys where I get stuff, how I get it and how much effort is put into it. To be honest I don't mind occasional facebook posting about a product that I think is relevant to friends. But no one wants to be the friends that puts up more ads than YouTube and facebook combined. 

A lot of people say some of this stuff is easy to obtain but I find some only are if you are willing to jump through massive amounts of social media hoops. 

The sites I have been using usually is:

Bzzagent.com at first it was a pain in the ass to get a campaign, there were not many demographic surveys, and my points sucked. Eventually I had gotten a campaign, did my tasks and since then it's been way easier. I can post minimally to facebook (Twitter, I let it all fly out) and they really rather have people focus on talking in person and showing the products. 

They are a pretty great site and I don't feel I have to spend all my time on their site to get something to review. 

Influenster: ah, my love/hate product testing site. The pros, they send amazing boxes, full sized, and like I said amazing.

The cons? Well, first off since they changed their site I feel like I have to spend a lot of time reviewing products I have personally bought, and quite honestly I don't have much so what is there to review? You have to stay active and it feels you have to be on there everyday. 

Second, when you do get something which honestly doesn't feel very common, you have to do a lot of tasks. Which is fine except that it's a lot of advertising that my friends will just look past anyway. I feel you are less likely to receive anything if you skip a task. It also bases a lot of your impact score on how many friends you have on social media. 

Samplesource.com I was unsure at first and thought maybe they were a scam but I actually was able to get 7/8 offered samples by them this morning and I'm pretty pleased about it. Some of the stuff included toothpaste, shampoo, granola, etc. sample size but pretty cool all in all. 

Pinchme.com okay I was able to get a couple things that have not arrived yet, I had waited for sample Tuesday this morning. 9am in Washington, well they moved it. My husband and I are used to night shift hours, so I stayed up excited, I know they go within five minutes or so. Well needless to say I was kind of super pissed. 

I know what you're thinking this chick is nuts, well only kinda. 

Freestufffinder.com they find the sites with samples and they give you a direct link, I joined the vip emails so when the site updates I can swoop up samples. The only problem I have is that some expire but are still up and I tend to run into samples I have ordered before. 

I'll be posting samples and telling you if the suck or not, hope you guys can enjoy finding your own free samples as well. I figure it's nice to something other than bills otherwise who wants to check the mail anymore these days?
