So today was National Lipstick Day (not sure since when), but when I heard that M.A.C. Cosmetics was giving out FREE lipsticks, I jumped at the chance to finally see what all the hype is about. I’ve always heard about how good their lipsticks were, but have never owned one or tried one for that…

LANCÔME Voxbox ~ free from Influenster 😘
I was lucky enough to receive these products from Influenster in a Voxbox. In this Voxbox, I received Lancôme’s Hydra Zen moisturizer, Tonique Confort, and L’absolu Lacquer in #378 Be Unique. Tonique Confort: This toner is thicker and reminds me of the Origins Original Skin line toner. I’ve applied it both with my fingers and…
Jose Eber universal treatment nozzle ~ HauteLook find 👍🏻👍🏻
Saw this on HauteLook for a little less than $30. Reminded me of the hair infusion treatment I received at the salon in Taiwan I got my hair permed and colored at. Wasn’t sure it would work, but had to give it a try (seeing as I’ve tried everything else to get my hair to…
Peripera has outdone itself with its DIY Fashion People’s Carrier
When I first saw this, I tried to give myself the “need versus want” speech. I gave myself a few days, then I caved. 😝 It comes in 2 styles/colors. Being a K-Pop fan, I chose the K-Pop girl version in Girlish Pink. What it is: a cute decorate it yourself plastic suitcase that comes…
Keto Power Coffee ☕️
As those of you who have been following my fitness journey on my Instagram will have noticed, about a week ago I started the ketogenic diet. New to keto, I did a lot of research. If you are interested, I would research before going on it as it is a very strict and unforgiving (no…
Origins Original Skin line (#gotitforfree)
I got the Origins Original Skin cleansing jelly from Influenster to test for free about a month or so ago. This post is not sponsored and is 100% my own opinion. I was very skeptical when I received this as there are a lot of products out there which claim to be innovative and remove…
Mellywagon 2.0
Sometimes life just gets crazy. I have not had a chance to post on my blog in awhile. On my way to the bar exam at the end of July, the alternator in my car died. I made it back in time to switch cars and continue onto Albany so I could sit for the…
TJ Maxx Clearance Finds ~ June 2017
During my trip to my local TJ Maxx today, I found a couple of deals I could not pass up. Just thought I would share them in case anyone was interested and lucky enough to find these gems. 1. Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Micellar Cleanser from Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins ($31 at both Sephora, Ulta, and Origins):…
Sephora Haul (April 2017)
So I may have gone on a little splurge during Sephora’s Rouge VIB sale. I purchased the above products to test. Here are my thoughts on all of them and at the end, I will tell you whether or not I kept them. OLE HENRIKSEN: BALANCE IT ALL, $34 at Sephora Claims: to control oil by…
Checking in ~ Mother’s Day
Just wanted to check in and wish all the mothers out there a Happy Mother’s Day! Sorry I have been so lax with my blog posts. I am doing a lot of testing and do have a backlog of posts to put up. If you haven’t already, feel free to checkout my Instagram to get a…
Things to remember about setbacks
Just thought I’d take a moment and share a moment of weakness. If any of you follow me on Instagram (@mellyventures), I pride myself in posting motivational and fitness posts. Half of them are for the benefit of my readers, but all of them are to keep myself motivated to go to the gym. I…
Foundation shoutouts
*This post was not sponsored by anyone. All thoughts were of my own making. For those of you who are always on the look out for foundation or are recently new to the beauty scene, I have scoured the shelves and compiled a list of my favorite face foundations, tinted moisturizers, and primer/moisturizers. Since makeup…
