Dollar Tree Hauls

Hello my MJF followers, 
I have a couple of hauls from Dollar Tree so show you.

In this haul I got two of this year's solar dancing turkey's. I also got two Milani nail polishes in the colors Mulberry Sugar (dark reddish-brown shimmer ) and Iced Mango (shimmery red- orange). I used both of these polishes for my thanksgiving Mani this year.

In this haul I got more of the Mountain High Premium Coffee Hot Chocolate which is really good. I also got two of sally Hansen xtreme wear polishes in 220 shake shake (is a sliver micro glitter in a clear base) and 130 fan Appeal (is a purple, green and pink duo chrome). The last thing I got was a E.l.f Jumbo eye shadow stick Turkish Coffee.
  
In this haul I got a few items to make something for some Christmas crafts. I got a little Christmas house wreath. I also got some crafters square faux snow. I picked up a Christmas house single clip light which I used to fix a lamp I have already. I got a dry floral foam for a project. The last thing I got was another baby lips in the color pink shock which I did not get last time and they only had this one left.

In this haul I found the Eclipse on dvd which sounded pretty good so I thought I'd give it a try. The movie was ok but not great which it was better than I expected. I got two dog toys one in blue and one in green which my dog jack chewed to pieces so the blue one is going to be given away. I also picked up some mini decorations which are Pumpkins and squash. I got a two fake holly for some crafts. I also picked up another one of the clip lights. The last thing I got in this haul was some Christmas house mini light set in white.

Yesterday I stopped at dollar tree to see if they had anything new. The only thing I saw that was new and I wanted to try was this apple shaped lip balm. It's so cute.

That's it for dollar tree hauls for now.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my hauls.

Until next time,

Walgreens Hauls

Hello my MJF followers,
I'm here to show you two of my most resent hauls from Walgreens.


This first haul I only got two things because I was looking for the Disney Cinderella collection which they did not have yet. So went into the clearance and found two things I had to have. The first thing was Chill out Scooby-doo dvd for $1.49. The other thing was a Halloweenie Beanie called Pumpkin which is so cute that I could not leave it. It was only $.39.


Since I've been going into Walgreens every week to find the collection. One of the girls that work in the beauty section took down my number and said she would call me when they came in and would save one for me which was really nice. So yesterday she called me and said they got in the Disney Cinderella Eyeshadow palette. I picked up yesterday and swatched it today. I also did a eye look too. I will be posting a review and eye look using this palette next week or sooner so keep eye out. The eyeshadow palette was $14.99. I will be getting the beauty book as soon as they get them in of course.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my hauls.

Until next time,
Mel

Hello my MJF followers,
I have another Smiley360 mission that came in the mail for me to try the same time the as the goodness knows squares.  I must disclose that these products were sent to me for free for reviewing purposes only.
So lets get into what I got to try this time.
In the box

Products that was in box
The information about the product:

What I think about the product so far:
I been wanting to try Nature's Bounty Optimal Solutions Hair, Skin, Nails Gummies because I thought it would be cool if it worked. So I was so happy to get a full size bottle of it as wells as samples to give to my friends and some hair ties for my lustrous hair. I have been using it for about 3-4 weeks and not finish with the challenge yet. I like that it is a gummies which is easy to take. They are a strawberry flavor which at first I was not happy that it was strawberry flavor because I'm not fan of strawberry flavors but this one does not really taste like strawberries. It taste more like a mix of different berries not just strawberry. I also really enjoy the texture of the gummie and does not taste like a vitamin. Besides that I don't know if it really does what it says it does. I will probably give you an update in if this gummie does what it clams when I'm done with this challenge.

Smiley360 Mission: Goodness Knows Snack Squares

Hello my MJF followers,
I'm here with another Smiley360 mission that they sent me.
 I must disclose that these products were sent to me for free for reviewing purposes only.
So lets get into what I got to try this time.
In the box

Everything that was in the box
As you see this time I was sent some goodness knows snack squares in three different flavors. Along with a tote bag with is really nice to have and some coupons for buy get one free.

Here is the information they send me about the product:

Goodnessknows. try a little goodness™.
Sometimes, life gets so busy we forget to truly live it. We forget to stop to laugh. To think. To enjoy. To just do something good for our body and souls, even if it's just a little something. A little goodness can go a long way and can be a step towards greatness. goodnessknows® snack squares reminds us that a little good goes a long way. Crafted with real fruit, dark chocolate and whole nuts in bite-size portions, it's an easy way to do something good for ourselves. So go ahead. Try a little goodness™. 

Did you know…?
• Each goodnessknows® snack squares serving (4 squares per pack) has 150 calories – 38 per square!• goodnessknows® snack squares has no high fructose corn syrup and contains no artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners. • 100 mg of natural cocoa flavanols per serving

 • Comes in 3 different flavors:
•Cranberry, almond, dark chocolate 
•Peach & cherry, almond, dark chocolate 
•Apple, almond & peanut, dark chocolate

My thoughts on the Goodness Knows Snack squares:
I received the three different flavors and I try them all. I also had my family try them too. Since I'm not a big granola eater. The flavors I liked the most was the apple, almond, peanut, dark chocolate and the cranberry, almond, dark chocolate. The peach and cherry tasted kinda weird to me as well it did to my dad and he like peach and cherry's but together not so much in this snack squares. Other than that one flavor the rest is pretty good. I was supersized how the nuts were nice and crunchy. Unlike some granola bars get mushy. There also big pieces of nuts in each square which also nice because some company's skimp in how much nuts they put in there products because they usually cost the most. I was also happy in that you get four squares in each package because most granola's come with one or two. I was also happy that it had no high fructose corn syrup, no artificial colors and flavors or sweeteners so its good for you as well as tasting good too. The only thing that I would like to change is that it be milk chocolate instead of dark because I'm milk chocolate kind of girl. I really enjoyed these even thought, I'm not a granola type of person but I love nuts and chocolate. If you like granola or just nuts and chocolate you might want to try these. These will be in stores in 2016 or sooner. They will be sold at CVS, Walgreens and Rite Aide.

French Roast Mani

Hello my MJF followers,
I have a fall color manicure to show you even thought I had a boo boo and you can see the band aid. So ignore that and look at this pretty mani.

With flash

outside lighting no flash

Products I used:
Revlon ColorStay Base Coat
Revlon ColorStay French Roast
Milani Quick Shine Top Coat

When I saw this nail polish at 99 cents store I had to have it. I usually don't buy brown polishes but this one is not just a brown polish. Its a deep chocolate brown with rainbow miro-glitter which is really hard to capture but in person I fell in love. So pretty and I know I will be wearing it more because its a two coater and lasted on my nails for a while with out chipping. I really love Revlon nail polishes but was not while to pay full price so I'm happy find them at 99 cents stores and dollar tree so if you love Revlon too check out those stores. Anyways back to this polish which you love brown and glitter you need this color. Its a beautiful fall and winter color because of the rainbow miro-glitter. Its like hot chocolate with glitter, do I have to say more. I think not. Go get a bottle now, lol. No really  you need this polish.

Until next time,
Mel

Part 2: 99 Cents Store Collective Hauls

Hello my MJF followers,
I'm back with part 2 of  99 cents store collective hauls. So lets get into it.




In this haul I found some Sally Hansen salon effects so I had to get them because they are so good. I will have to do a review on the ones I wore. So I got 5 different designs which are Mane Event, Pink Macaroon, Sweet Marble Floret, Girl flower and Spring Fever. I got l.a girl pop in Celebrate (red, sliver and blue glitter). I picked up a cord for my Samsung. The last thing I got was water bottle which I took with me to Hawaii.


I wanted these Halloween decoration light last year and I guess they has some left over because they marked them down. I got a orange and purple skeleton hands. I also got two packs of these Velamints peppermints which I had tin of them and they really good.




In this haul was this week where they had Halloween items 9/ $.99 so I had to get some items. I got two pairs or kid socks for the boys that my watches. Three bendable skeletons to get to the boys next year. A plastic goblet for me as decoration for next year. Two pirate coin necklaces for next year. A Halloween window clings which glows in the dark and Halloween pirate skeleton wall stickers for next year. The last thing I got was this cute owl sign that says happy harvest to put on the door because it looks so sad with no ghost that I had on it for Halloween.

I hope you enjoyed part 2 of the 99 cents store collective hauls.

Until next time,
Mel



Part 1: 99 Cents Store Collective Hauls

Hello my MJF followers,
I'm back with a two part 99 cents store hauls that was pushed to the bottom and now finally posting it.
So lets get into part 1:

I love Blistex lip balms and I really like this mint version. So I got one to put in my purse.


In this haul I picked up the Garnier Skin Renew mask because I've been want to try more mask and you get 6 mask in a box which is really good deal. They are usually $5.95 for a box. I also had to get this little zak Despicable Me 2 bottle so cute. I also found some Julie G nail polishes which is a deal because they are usually around $5.00. So I got four of them and the colors are Dancing in the dark (blue base with purple glitter), Passion (purple/pink shimmer), Shimmer Island (green glitter). I also got a Revlon color stay in 210 French Roast (a deep chocolate brown with rainbow micro- glitter). The last thing I got in this haul is a Iron Man 3 dog tag.

 This is the dog tag I got when I opened it.


In this haul I got another of the iron man dog tag because I loved the one I got last time. I could not find a pump so I picked up a ball pump and extra pump parts. I also got another phone case for my Samsung S3 but after I bought this case my phone was not working and I got a new phone. Good thing I did not spend to much on it :0/. My dog jack love these Plastic golf balls so I two packs. I got some Redvines because I love them. I also picked up two silicone pot holders to use as makeup brush cleaners. I got two because you never know when they get them in and if one wears out, I have a backup. I tried out the Garnier Face mask and liked them so I got another box.

This what I got in this time.

In this last haul was before Halloween. They only has a few so I had to get one of each of the color changing pirate skulls because you know I love things that light up, skulls and pirates.

So I hope you enjoyed seeing my 99 cents haul and I will be post part 2 next.

Until next time,
Mel
