Hey guys! 

I am finally posting a Vegan Cuts Box. This box, is by far my favorite subscription, in fact it is the only one I kept when I moved. 

Let’s jump in to the “Primp & Pamper” Box!

Terre Mere Loose Blush “Lychee” $15 Value


I will be straight forward. I am not the biggest fan of loose blushes. I love loose eyeshadows though. I guess sense you have to use a larger brush, the mess is also larger.


The shade is very pretty though. A light shimmery pink. I will probably end up using this product as an eyeshadow. Be on the look out for it sneaking its way into a tutorial or FOTD!

Everyday Botanicals Hair Nourishment Oil $4.50 Value


“Works great on natural and curly hair, enriching follicles down to the root.”

I am a really big user of hair oils. I have pretty frizzy hair, especially in colder weather. I will definitely get my use out of this product.

It has a nice earthy smell, of you have been a reader of my blog for a bit, then you know I love this smell! 

USE CODE “vegan” FOR $10 off a $50 purchase. 

Gaffer & Child Facial Cleanser $26 Value 


“Lavender and peppermint infused facial cleanser that moisturizes and invigorates skin”

I am in love with the scent of this product, it is going to be really relaxing to use at night. The bottle is made of glass, I love the simplistic packaging. We received 2 Fl. Oz. The product is really concentrated though, so a little is meant to go a long way! 

Use code “vegancuts” for 40% off entire purchase! 

Hempz Teiile Moisture Whipped Body Creme $7.50 Value 


Hempz makes amazing lotions! This one has a beautiful smell, very similar to the “love spell” by Victoria’s Secret. If you love that scent and want a replacement, I would check this lotion out! 

Derma E Purifying Daily Detox Scrub $5 Value


I have accumulated a ton of the samples sizes of this product. I do have a post on it coming soon so I won’t say much, just know I won’t complain anytime I receive this product! 

That’s the box! What did you think? Have you tried any of these products? Comment below!

Influenster #DormLife VoxBox | What’s Inside

On By Manda JanetteIn drugstore, freebie, Uncategorized3 Comments

I absolutely love Influenster. Even if their app is acting up right now, and I can’t complete my tasks. Has anyone else had this issue?

Anyway, I love seeing what they send out in their boxes. Which you get by reviewing products and being chosen to do simple tasks. 

This specific box came out to a total of $31.41, and it was 100% free!! It also contains products I will actually use, super fly Influenster, super fly. 

Alba Botanical Acnedote Face & Body Scrub $10.45 retail value


This is a product I have tried in the past. I am doing a desperate post on it, so I won’t say much. But I will say, I was really pumped when I saw the full size in the box!

Tampax Pocket Pearl $6.99 for 36 pack


I will not get personal use out of these. My birth control has made it to where I do have periods. BUT, I always keep feminine hygiene products in my bag, just Incase there happens to be another lady in need. I have a little kit in an Ipsy bag, these are compact so they are discreet and won’t take up much room! 

Not Your Mothers Natural Dry Shampoo $8.99 retail value


Dry shampoo!! I go through so much dry shampoo, and I really love trying new ones. I have eczema on my scalp, so the fact that this dry shampoo is unscented gives me high hopes. I will update y’all!! The dry shampoo didn’t even have attached tasks to complete, so it’s like a little extra. 

Sinful Colors Polish and Transforming Top Coat $1.99 


The red shade is meant to be the Transforming top coat. Apparently it is different with each use. I have not had good experiences with this brand in the past, so we will see. I may show my home done mani on my Snapchat manda_janette

Sour Punch Bites $1.99 Value


Free candy! What more can I say!? I love Sour Punch Straws, this little treat is right up my alley! 

Balance Cookie Dough $1.00 Value

I wanted to love this, but it was just too bitter for me, sadly. I would like to try their other flavors though. 

That’s it guys! What did you think? Have you received any Vox Boxes? Leave your feed back below!

Belli Beauty Anti-Blemish Facial Wash | Skincare Review

On By Manda JanetteIn cruelty free, Hotornot, indie beauty, skin care, Uncategorized2 Comments

Hey guys! 

I promise, I am finally getting myself back on a normal posting schedule! BPD is a fickle mistress, but I think I have found my way to balance myself. (I can do some more personal post if interest is shown, comment below) 
Tonight though, we are here to talk about this 6.5fl oz bottle of cruelty free and SAFE skincare. 

The Belli Beauty Anti-Blemish Facial Wash.

Let’s start with the facts, then I’ll give you my two sense! 

  • Specially formulated to gently and safely cleanse the skin of oil, dead skin cells, and impurities that can lead to acne.
  • Contains NO salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or benzoyl peroxide. Which can dry out the skin. 
  • Also contains NO Parabens, BPA, pthalates, or artificial dyes.
  • Instead contains Lactic acid, green tea, (which is antioxidant rich) cucumber, and lemon peel oil (to leave your skin bright. It is also an astringent).
  • It is pregnancy and breastfeeding safe! This would be a nice gift to toss a soon to be moms way!

As you can tell, this face wash is very clean, and is coming from a company that truly has your best interests in mind. 


The product is clear, with a very light citrus scent. Thanks to the lemon peel oil! 

I am 21 years old, and still have pretty bad acne. I also have sensitive skin, so finding skin care that doesn’t break me out in some way, is a bit difficult. 

Luckily, I have seen some improvements since starting this product! I have found that I have less breakouts and my skin tone overall has improved.  

I use the anti-blemish wash daily, and once maybe twice a week I use it as a five minute Mask. As of yet, it is working wonders!

5/5 stars from this lemony fresh blogger. (I washed my face before starting my post!) 

The 6.5 Fl Oz bottle retails for $22 at Belliskincare.com, Ulta.com, buybuybaby.com and many other major retailers. 

I really hope you enjoyed this review! Definitely check out this face wash or one of their other clean items! What sort of post would you like to see next?
