Glam Camp samples

A few months ago, Rite Aid had this rebate where if you buy at least $10 of certain products, you will receive a Glam Camp bag with samples inside. Since Rite Aid had a 40% off all Maybelline products, I decided to buy three of their products which were a shinesensational lipgloss, dream mousse blush and a nail polish. This came to a total of $10 something. I submitted my rebate on the Rite Aid website.

Today in the mail, I received the Glam Camp goodies. When I first open the package, I was disappointed with the size of the bag. It's great for tweens and teens, but not for my age. Maybe I'll put my few amounts of makeup in it...Inside the bag was a sample of different shades of the Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse (my skintone probably would be close to a medium), Dickinson's daily facial towelette, got2b Laminating Shine Hairspray and a razor. I was a bit disappointed with the samples. I was expecting more samples and makeup samples. I can't really complain though. I did get this for free. I don't know what I'm going to do with the hairspray though. I don't use hairspray. Maybe I'll use it one of these days...

I'm praying that tomorrow won't rain since I'm planning on going to Smart & Final after my class is over. I don't want to walk back home from Smart & Final in the pouring rain. I don't want to get sick.

thrift store purchases and freebies



This is my first blog so hopefully it won't be too boring, but I don't know...

Today I went to the thrift store near my school. Usually when I'm shopping at the thrift store, I would first browse the sale items. Then I would browse the men's section. I have found some great t-shirts at the men's section. I would also browse the women's section and finally look at the books. Most of the time, there aren't any good books. There are times where I would buy a lot of books.

Today while browsing the men's section, I would a cute t-shirt with a picture of a cat and boba milk tea. I was debating whether or not to buy it. I decided to buy the t-shirt. I also found a good book. While I was at the register, the cashier asked if I wanted to see a weird toy. I said sure and the cashier went back to get the toy. It turns out it was three Kogepan plushies! I asked how much it was and he said I could have it for free since the thrift store don't sell toys. So I was really happy. I bought a Nyan Nyan Nyanko t-shirt and a book for $4 and three Kogepan plushies for free. I would say that it is a great deal.

I also received some samples in the mail today. They are: Gucci Guilty fragrance, Post-it Super Notes and Garnier Nutritioniste Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel-Cream. Yay for samples!
