One of my favorite coupons is for $2 off of any Maybelline mascara. Most Maybelline mascaras are super affordable to begin with anyway, but with $2 off, they are just that much better! Their Colossal Volum’ express waterproof mascara is my all time favorite mascara!
There is also a $2 off any Maybelline face product. As you know, my new go to foundation is the Maybelline Super Stay Better Skin foundation. Here is a great opportunity to try it out and take the #betterskinchallenge for yourself.

Just look at this packaging! So cute!
NotAlways Knotty‘s Questions for me: 1. What is your favorite makeup brand?
My favorite high end brand is Tarte Cosmetics. They have the cutest packaging and I just love the quality of their products. If I had to pick my favorite drugstore brand, I’d have to go with Maybelline. I just find that overall I enjoy a lot of their products. Although, I really love L’Oreal….maybe it is a tie between the two of them. 2. What is your favorite clothing store?
I love Ann Taylor and Ann Taylor Loft. The clothes are classic yet comfortable and fit me really well, plus, they always have great sales! (I love a great sale!) Oh, I love White House Black Market, pretty much for the same reasons I love Ann Taylor and the Loft. 3. What product are you dying to have?
I really want the Lorac Pro Pallete. I know I am eventually going to buy it, but I just haven’t splurged yet. 4. Who is your favorite beauty guru?
Hands down my favorite beauty guru is Tati from Glam Life Guru. She is not only beautiful, but she really knows her stuff! I look forward to hearing what she has to share everyday! If you don’t already subscribe to her videos on YouTube, you don’t know what you are missing! Go check her out today.
5. What is your go to style?
Hmmm, I guess my go to style is classic chic yet comfortable
6. What is your dream job?
Before I had kids, I already had my dream job, I worked on the day shift as an oncology registered nurse and I loved it. (having a day shift made me love it even more!) Now that I have kids, I have my second dream job, being a Stay at Home mom! The pay stinks, but the job is super rewarding 😉 7. What has been your biggest accomplishment?
Definitely my biggest accomplishment has been being a mother to my two awesome children. It is not always easy and it can be so tough and tiring, but knowing that I am making an impact on their two lives is the most important thing I will ever do.
8. How did you come up with the name for your blog? “Jolie” in French means pretty or beautiful. Having the last name of Joli, it was a natural fit to call the site Looking Joli Good. 9. Where is one place you would like to travel to?
I have always wanted to go to Paris, France. It just seems like such a wonderful magical place. Although, after watching a show on Travel Channel the other night about Montreal, Quebec, Canada, now I want to go there. 10. What advice would you give another beauty/fashion blogger?
You do you! Blogging is about having fun and connecting with people! If you start to get stressed out about it, take a little break. Always be honest and try to enjoy what you are doing!

Do you ever find yourself getting sucked into the wormhole of Pinterest?
When it comes to Pinterest, I am like Alice in Wonderland! There is so much to see and so many things to pin and read… hours slip by in what seems to be just minutes.
Whoever came up with Pinterest is genius! All the awesomeness of the internet in one easy to access place. So many sites that I would never have found otherwise!
I have similar pieces to most of the ones she suggests. I wouldn’t necessarily think to put them together the way she has. Such a great idea!
What about you, do you love Pinterest?
If you are on Pinterest, I would love to follow you! Leave your username in the comment section below. Take a look at some of my boards as well! You can find me, of course, as LookingJoliGood!
I love to give my opinion and I love free stuff. There is actually a place online that both of these things come together…Influenster.com
“Infuenster is a product discovery platform that lets opinionated, social media savvy consumers like you discover and share knowledge on products through sampling, reviews, and more!”
It is easy to get started. You just need to login toInfluenster.com and complete your profile by sharing some general information about yourself so you can get matched with campaigns that you might be interested in. (Like how I get matched up with the Maybelline Super Stay Better Skin Foundation) Honestly answer some quick questions about your shopping behavior to improve your discovery experience.
Then you connect your social media accounts like Facebook, Youtube, Instagram to create your “Social Impact.” Your Social Impact is a major factor in determining how likely you are to qualify for campaigns.
Then invite your friends using your referral link. Here is mine: http://www.influenster.com/r/1049268 You’ll be awarded with five points for every friend who connects their social media accounts to Influenster.
As I have mentioned in other posts I have received a few VoxBoxes from Influenster. “VoxBoxes are packages filled with complimentary products from your favorite brands. Not all Voxboxes are the same some campaigns feature an assortment of products while others will spotlight one awesome brand.”
So far I have been loving being a part of Influenster. Hopefully you will join and have the same experience as well! Plus, you can get free stuff and who doesn’t love free stuff!
