The sun finally came out and it's been roasting me. I love it though. There's nothing like driving through the streets of L.A. with the windows down, warm wind blowing, and palm trees swaying. It finally feels like summer!

What do you wear to work in the heat? My workplace is pretty casual so I just threw this on. At least I didn't wear a pair of running shorts and a free beer tank top like one of my co-workers does. haha

Yeah. I need a tripod.

Now, I have some deals for you. I was so excited when I got these two packages in the mail.

I got this huge box full of makeup from ELF for super cheap. Lately, I've been watching beauty tutorials on youtube and became inspired to get back into the makeup thing. So I ordered brushes, brush cleansers, a dump bag, and loads and loads of makeup. Seriously, I don't know what to do with it all. The total actually came up to almost 180 but I went to retailmenot.com and found a coupon code for 60% off! I got everything for just $75 including shipping. If you didn't know, most of the things from ELF are just a dollar each. Products from the studio line are $3 and I think a few things from the minerals collection are $5. Check them out at eyeslipsface.com or go to Target.

I also got a few free samples from Mario Badescu. I've had really bad breakouts lately so I decided to try something new. I've been hearing great things about Mario Badescu skin care products for years so I decided to give them a try. I was set on buying a few products but after googling for a coupon code (I'm always down for a deal), I found out how to get free samples. The free samples aren't advertised anywhere on their website. You just have to fill out a questionnaire about your skin type. A page of their recommendations will come up but you don't have to buy anything. Within a few days you'll get an email with an offer for free samples. Just reply to accept the offer.I got my samples the very next week. I have yet to try them but they smell really good.

My last tip is for free 2-day shipping from Amazon.com for a whole year. If you are a student with a .edu email address you can get a free year membership to Amazon Prime. Just sign up with your school's email address. I order from amazon all the time so this will really save me. I have to order textbooks next month and I'll def be getting them from amazon.

BTW, I just started this blog so obviously I'm not getting paid to endorse. Just want to share some good deals :)
