Ebates…Literally Getting Paid to Shop Online!

December 17, 2017 LauraJoli LookingJoliGood2 Comments

Do you use Ebates when you are shopping online? If you are not, you totally should!

It is hard to believe that it is real and not a scam, but it really is as simple as shopping online and getting paid!!

I realize that it sounds way too good to be true! I had always been a bit skeptical, but it is really a legit thing. I signed up last year on the recommendation of my sister.

Just today I have already earned $9 cash back just from the online shopping I have done. I have received 4 checks this year, and one of those checks was for almost $25.

It is literally getting paid to shop online for things that I am already buying.

It is so easy! You simply go to the Ebates site, sign up with your name, email, and address, start shopping, and earning cash back!

You can either search through their search bar for the site you want to go to, or add their cash back button.

There are all kinds of sites that you can earn money from, Target, Kohl’s Sephora, Ulta, Zappos, and Amazon just to name a few.

If you are interested in earning some money during your holiday online shopping, take a look at Ebates.

Here is a referral link that they gave me. I’d love for you to sign up using my referral link, you will get a free $10!

Happy earnings and happy shopping!

Charm Voxbox From Influenster

April 3, 2017April 3, 2017 LauraJoli LookingJoliGood5 Comments

If you have been reading my posts for any amount of time you know that I love to give my opinion and I love free stuff. There is actually a place online that both of these things come together…

Let me tell you about 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!”

Influenster is a program that sends out boxes full of free stuff in hopes that you’ll use your social media influence to tell everyone you know what you think of these products. They call these sample boxes “VoxBoxes”

I recently received the Charm Voxbox and even while I received all the products complimentary, all opinions are my own.

It is easy to get started. You just need to login toInfluenster.com and complete your profile by sharing some general information about yourself. Answer some quick questions about your shopping behavior to improve your discovery experience. You will then get matched with “campaigns” that you might be interested in.

After all the questions are answered, you connect your social media accounts like Facebook, Youtube, Instagram to create your “Social Impact.” You can also invite your friends using your referral link to increase your social impact.

I have gotten matched up with several things that I have loved! Clairol Hair Food, Soap Box Shampoo and Conditioner, and Persil Laundry Detergent. I have also gotten a few things that I wasn’t really interested in…Slim Fast.

Voxboxes have full-sized free products that you get to review and keep, no charge at all. Some of the awesome brands that work with Influenster are Marc Jacobs, YSL, Makeup Forever, Reebok, L’Oreal, Georgio Armani, just to name a few.

Not all Voxboxes are the same some campaigns feature an assortment of products while others will spotlight one brand. One of my first posts on LGJ was about the Maybelline Super Stay Better Skin Foundation that I received from Influenster. Some of the campaigns will give you virtual “VoxBoxes” These might be coupons you can print out or different tasks to complete on social media.Some of the campaigns will give you virtual “VoxBoxes” These might be coupons you can print out or different tasks to complete on social media. One virtual voxbox I was part of was to take a picture of a product at the store and post it to a social media platform of my choice. That was it. Pretty simple.

These VoxBoxes are completely free. You don’t even have to do any of the requested social media tasks. The only thing required to receive future boxes is filling out a mandatory survey at the end of the campaign

So far I have been loving being a part of Influenster. Hopefully, you will join and have the same experience as well! Plus, you get free stuff and who doesn’t love free stuff!

I think that Influenster is a great way to receive free samples and try out new things. If you want to you can sign up using my referral link, http://www.influenster.com/r/1049268,

If you don’t want to use the referral link you can always just go directly to Influenster.com to sign up.

7 Beauty Products Worth Splurging On (and 5 That Totally Aren’t)

March 6, 2016March 6, 2016 LauraJoli LookingJoliGood6 Comments

I recently read this article from Real Simple and thought that this was an interesting article. I wanted to share it with all of you! What do you think? Do you agree with these tips on where to scrimp and where to splurge? PS: I don’t necessarily agree with all of these, but I do think that it is an interesting take on where to spend and where to save.

If you would like to read the original article click HERE

7 Beauty Products Worth Splurging On (and 5 That Totally Aren’t)

“Admit it: The exotic list of ingredients and the promise of supermodel shine are tempting. But then you hear a little voice in your head (hey, is that you, Mom?) saying, “It’s hype! You’re paying for a pretty box.” Some products are worth every dime; some not so much. How to tell the difference.

Shampoo = Scrimp
Springing for extravagant shampoo is essentially like watching your money go down the drain with the suds. However, if you’ve spent a small fortune coloring or highlighting your hair, you might want to go with the product that your hairstylist recommends.

Conditioner = Splurge
Yes, you rinse conditioner out, but these products are emulsions, which means they contain an oil or wax that doesn’t mix with water. So whatever healthy ingredients are in them adhere to the hair and don’t wash away.

Cleanser = Scrimp
Because the fancy-pants ingredients will be on your face for only two seconds—not long enough to be worth the expense. Have acne-prone or sensitive skin? Look for labels that say “gentle” or “noncomedogenic.”

Day cream = Scrimp
Make sure it’s the kind with sunscreen included; it should have broad-spectrum protection of at least SPF 15. You’ll find an aisle full of worthy options at the drugstore.

Foundation = Splurge
Since the chances that your face may end up looking like an Oompa Loompa are high. Instead head to the department-store cosmetics counters, where you can try out not only shades but also formulas before you buy. Do you prefer lightweight and sheer? Or something with more coverage to hide acne?

Powder = Splurge
Unless you opt for a colorless translucent powder (in which case, you can totally go thrifty), you’ll want to try this on before you buy, especially if you’re using powder as an all-purpose foundation/ concealer/makeup setter. A well-made one also gives you that flawless, practically Photoshopped look and will last longer, so you won’t need to apply as much of it.

Powder blush = Splurge
The pigments in blush are very similar to those in eye shadow. The less expensive the product, the more likely it is that the pigments have been diluted with talc and other powder ingredients. Also, cheaper blushes have a tendency to leave streaks.

Eyeliner = Splurge
You don’t want one with a crumbly tip that creates a shaky line. Generally, the more expensive the pencil, the softer the wax and the smoother the application.

Eye shadow = Splurge
Department-store–brand shadows adhere to the lids better, go on smoother, and offer richer colors than their drugstore counterparts. Certain pigments, such as deep blues and purples, are expensive, so companies that charge more can use more of them. But if you want to test-drive trendy shades, then, by all means, go economical.

Mascara = Scrimp
Bombshell: There isn’t a lot of difference between high-end and low-end formulas. Because bacteria grow easily in mascara, you should trash a tube after three months—which is all the more reason to cut corners.

Lip gloss = Scrimp
No need to go all out if you want just a hint of tint and a bit of shine. And who are we kidding? Half of it will rub off on your coffee cup anyway.

Lipstick = Splurge
If it’s your signature shade, don’t cheap out. You’ll get a creamier texture and possibly even extracts or vitamins that will prevent your pucker from becoming caked and flaky.
