well, happy August lovelies! right now, i'm coming to you from my college campus! i just registered for all my classes and now i'm all signed up! it's crazy to think in a month, i'll be beginning my life as a college student, and not as a high school student. anyways, today's post is about a new app that i've been using called Shopkick.
basically, Shopkick is an app where you can check-in to stores (via Bluetooth), scan barcodes or sync your debit/credit card and accumulate points to then earn different rewards, such as gift cards. for example, 6250 kicks (aka points) gets you a $25 gift card to Target or Starbucks.
to be honest, I was very pessimistic going into this because it sounds way too good to be true. however, I looked into it and the companies earn surplus money whenever you scan the barcodes of their products, plus whenever you go to the specific stores to scan items or check-in, you're more likely to look around and potentially buy something.
if you have any interest in checking it out, use my link and download the app (http://get.shopkick.com/modesto56324) and I will give you an opening gift!
talk to you all next week!

{everyday summer makeup products}
hello lovelies!
happy Saturday to you all! like i mentioned in my previous post, i am back and i have a lot in store for my blog, beginning this summer! today's post is an everyday summer makeup product post for you guys. 95% of the time, i don't wear an abundance of makeup, and especially in the summer, i try and do a more natural look.
- Great Lash Lots of Lashes Mascara:
the first person to introduce me to this mascara was Lindsey Hughes (@beautybaby44 on YouTube) and she constantly praises this mascara, and says it is the best drugstore mascara out there. after hearing her share about it, i thought i would pick it up the next time i went to Target and just see what she was talking about. well, she is completely right. it is such a great mascara. i've used it for about 2 months now, and it's wonderful. it stays on all day, but also is easily removed with my Simple makeup remover wipes. if you haven't found a mascara that you love, i highly suggest picking this up because it is fantastic!
- B&BW Body Spray (Paris Amour):
now, this specific product, i do not use every day. i use a variety of body sprays. however, i just picked this up at Bath & Body Works and i love the swell. it has a sweet, summery feel to it that just smells like summer. when people smell good, you take notice and so i always want to make sure i'm smelling fresh. i highly suggest this body spray, along with Love Spell from Victoria's Secret.
- Maybelline Eyeshadow Palette (Lavender Lights):
eyeshadow is one of the most important makeup products to me, because i feel like whenever someone does their eyeshadow well, it makes the rest of your makeup stand out and it just adds to much to your eyes. this palette i have used for about 2 months, and i love it so much. i love that it has such a variety of options in such a small palette. i also love that i purchased this at my local Target for less than $5.
- CoverGirl Compact Pressed Powder:
i'm not a huge fan of concealer or foundation. while i know it works well, i really don't have many breakouts if any, so its not a huge need for me. that's what this is such a great thing. it not only helps me when i get red faced for being super nervous or just awkward, but it helps cover any small blemishes that i may have. like the other products i have mentioned, i purchased this at my local Target and it was very inexpensive.
i hope you all enjoyed this post! comment below with your favorite summer makeup products, and what you guys thought about this post!
all the love,
