**Deals & Steals** Valid 07/03/14

Good Morning & Happy Deals & Steals day!  There are lots of fun summer goodies savings this week.  My fav is the 50% off dogs toys, beds & supplies at Harry Barker when you use Promo Code GMA.  These super cute Leopard Dog Play Balls are only $5.00 for the large ones. (Downside is the shipping cost of $7.95 but with 50% it's still a great deal!)

These Bistro Dog Tins & Treats are SOOO cute and only $5.00 each with the 50% off!

My next fav are these fun flip flops!  These FishFlops by Madison Nicole are so adorable and at 50% with FREE shipping it's a fantastic deal at only $16.00!  Use Promo Code GMA.  These unique, blue FishFlops are my pick...they also have a selection of youth sizes!

Make sure you check out these and all the other Deal & Steals this week and hurry it's only for today and while supplies last!

June Favorite~Sonya Dakar Flash Facial

One of my favorites for June is Sonya Dakar's Flash Facial!  Have you ever tried this stuff?  Well let me tell you...it's AMAZING!  Not only does it give you softer, smoother and plumper skin it also does it in under 2 minutes.  I know, I told you it was AMAZING!  I'm talking Holy Grail type stuff.

The only downside is that it's a little spendy at $95.00 for 1 oz. but a little goes a long way so it should last awhile...that is if I can keep myself from using it all the time!

Wait for it...wait for it... as an added bonus Flash Facial just happens to be one of the revealed items that is going into the summer FabFitFun box!  The FabFitFun box is only $49.99 per season and you get products totaling $225+ in each box so it is well worth the $49.99.  Also, use code SUMMER5 to save an additional $5.00!  AND...don't forget to shop through Ebates to get an additional 8% Cash Back!!

Either way, I seriously recommend getting your hands on this stuff.  I promise you won't regret it!

**Thursday Thoughts on Friday**

Life has been a little crazy this week so my "Thursday Thoughts" post is happening on Friday instead!

It's been a tough week in general but for some reason I found it to be inspiring.  I have never been one of those people that expects things to just happen.  I have always been a believer in making things happen for myself!  When things don't go my way I find it inspires me to make changes.  Change is good and it's also necessary as far as I'm concerned.

I am hoping today's post will INSPIRE you!  Are you having a bad week and find yourself ready for a change?  Or, maybe your having a great week and you just need that little push to make that change you have been pondering.  Either way, make today that day!  Don't wait for something to happen, go out and MAKE it happen.  What are you going to make happen?

Happy Friday...

Wantable-Subscription Box Review

The lovely people at Wantable sent me this complimentary* box full of goodies to review.  If you haven't heard of Wantable yet be sure to check out their website for a detailed description here.  They have 3 styles of subscription boxes to choose from, Makeup, Accessories or Intimates.  You can sign up for the makeup subscription box for $36.00 (free shipping) or you can do a one-time purchase for $40.00.  Each box contains 4-5 full-sized products that are hand-picked from unique and premium brands just for you based on the answers you give to a few short questions.

Mirabella Palette & Eyeshadow Duo ($30)

In my makeup box I was lucky enough to receive the Mirabella reusable Pick 2 Colour Palette which is a fantastic reusable, magnetic palette that can be customized to hold 2 of your favorite eye color shades and it also includes mirror for easy application on the go! (I am using pics from the Mirabella website since mine did not do the product justice!)

I also received the 2 following eyeshadow colors, Poppy, a pretty shimmery champagne color and Vintage, a fun, shimmery wine color.

Vincent Longo Pressed Powder ($28):

I really love this Vincent Longo Pressed Powder!  I have not used a pressed powder for a long time since I discovered Mineral Veil by bareMinerals but trying out this pressed powder made me re-think pressed powder entirely!  I feel like this pressed powder is in a league all it's own.  It blended seamlessly into my mineral foundation and left a totally invisible matte finish.  This was a WIN for me!

SKIIN Instant Skin Tightener and Line Filler (?):

I also received a deluxe size sample of SKIIN Instant Skin Tightener and Line Filler.  I have loved all of the products by the SKIIN brand so I was excited to try this out!  I am not sure what the cost is since it is a sample but 0.5 ounces costs $39.95.  I applied the product around my eyes and it did seem to fill in some of my fine lines so that's a plus for me!  It's also known as "Plastic Surgery in a Bottle" and has rave reviews!

Liptini Straight Up Color Lipstick in Cognac ($18):

I am huge fan of Tini Beauty nail polish and had no idea they did lipstick too!  I love the bronze color of this lipstick, it's perfect for summer and the lipstick itself was really moisturizing.  As a bonus the brand is also cruelty fee & vegan.

A Wantable subscription costs $36.00 and I received a total estimated value of $83.00 in products!  That is a fantastic value.  If you are looking for a makeup subscription box that includes full-size premium makeup products then I would definitely recommend Wantable!  Again, you can check out all the Wantable subscription boxes for yourself using this link...

I was not paid for this post and all impressions of each product are my own.
