Tips and Tricks: DON'T THROW OUT YOUR MASCARA WANDS

Seriously, don't. Your empty mascara wands can help out in a big way! See how you can help out animals in need.


Shoutout to Twitter for showing me this honestly. Back in March of 2017, a Facebook page named "Love What Matters" posted about why we shouldn't throw out our old mascara wands, but instead donate them! This is amazing program is genius and who doesn't love to help out animals?

Appalachian Wildlife Refuge started a program called Wands for Wildlife that helps local wildlife get cleaned up. Essentially you can take old mascara tubes that have expired, gone dry, or have completely run out of, clean them up, and send them to the address they’ve provided. The benefits of getting the wands clean is for the Appalachian Wildlife Refuge to clean larvae and eggs out of animal’s fur.

The video of the little ducky getting brushed with the mascara wand is so CUTE, it makes me want to cry, but like happy tears.


The people at Appalachian Wildlife Refuge really do amazing things for the local wildlife and really would appreciate your help. It's as simple as donating clean mascara wands, donating items from their Wishlist, to making a donation.

If you are willing to make a donation of clean mascara wands or an item off their Wishlist, please make sure you ship it to the following address:
P.O. Box 1211
Skyland, NC, 28776

If you made a donation after reading this blog post, I'd love to hear from you! I love animals and I love makeup and mashing the two worlds together is amazing. I will definitely be donating when I get done with my mascaras!

Sephora vs Ulta: Which Do I Prefer?

Read about my input as to which I prefer and why! Chances are, if you live by a Sephora, you live by an Ulta.  The two stores are quite similar when it comes down to what they offer: a wide option of makeup brands that vary in price to tailor to your needs. However, if you've been in both store before, you notice the obvious differences. LOCATION Starting off with location, Sephora's are typically in a mall (or at least every one I've been in is) and it's lethal to my bank account. My Sephora is located right across from the Starbucks and the Chick-fil-a in the center of the mall and it stares at me every time I walk by, and of course I walk in. There's only one Sephora in the Oklahoma City Metro, making it very crowded. I try to avoid the magnetic pull of Sephora when it's the weekend because my feet are always getting stepped on by people or getting rolled over by a baby stroller. It's inconvenient in my opinion and bothers me during my shoppin...

Black Friday Haul 2017

Check out what I purchased this Black Friday and my shopping experience! The most wonderful time of the shopping year: Black Friday Weekend. My bank account is not happy with me, but I am quite content with what I purchased! I will be going over my experience, what I got, and I will do a follow up blog post with products that worked and didn't really work out for me. I've already tried out some of these products though but I won't spoil any of the de tails (yet). Enjoy browsing through my haul! Overall, everything in the photo above was what I purchased, except the NYX Advent Calendar (which Mr. Glammunition got for me on Black Friday). I really do like everything I got but I will still do a My Thoughts  over the whole haul. I won't go into depth about my opinion of the products but more of an overview of the product's details.  NYX LIPPIE COUNTDOWN On Black Friday, this advent calendar, containing 24 mini lippies, was on sale for $3...
