I will admit, a vacuum cleaner review seems a bit out there for a mainly beauty blog, but as you know, when I love something I have to share it no matter how out there it is. When I saw that the Dyson V10 Allergy Cordfree Vacuum Cleaner was on special sale at Walmart I had to post about it! It is regularly priced at $530, the current sale price of $432.82 at Walmart is a significant discount that shouldn’t be missed.

Gone are the days of lugging around heavy and cumbersome vacuum cleaners, tangling cords, and limited mobility. The advent of cordless vacuum cleaners has brought about a significant revolution in the world of cleaning, transforming the way I keep my house clean.

The Dyson V10 Allergy Cordfree Vacuum Cleaner is a convenient and versatile, cordless vacuum that has become a life-changing addition to my cleaning routine. I might sound a bit crazy talking about how much I love my Dyson vacuum cleaner, but I seriously do love it and it really has been life changing.

I have had my Dyson Cordfree Vacuum Cleaner for several years, and I have been thoroughly impressed with its performance. This powerful and versatile vacuum has exceeded my expectations, making it an excellent investment for anyone in need of a reliable vacuum.

Cordless vacuums are designed with agility in mind. Their lightweight and compact nature enable you to navigate around furniture, under low-lying objects, and into cramped spaces effortlessly. Whether you’re cleaning high shelves or intricate upholstery, the cordless design allows for greater flexibility, resulting in a more thorough and efficient cleaning process.

Let me share with you some of the notable pros and cons of this vacuum:

Pros:

  1. Unmatched Cleaning Performance: The Dyson V10 Allergy Cordfree Vacuum Cleaner boasts incredible suction power, effortlessly lifting dust, dirt, and debris from all surfaces. From hardwood floors to carpets and rugs, this vacuum leaves them spotless, thanks to its direct-drive cleaner head and digital motor.
  2. Impressive Battery Life: With a fully charged battery, the Dyson V10 Allergy Cordfree Vacuum Cleaner provides an impressive runtime of up to 60 minutes. This ample battery life ensures that you can tackle multiple rooms without interruption, making it ideal for larger households.
  3. Versatility at Its Finest: This vacuum offers three power modes (Eco, Auto, and Boost), allowing you to customize the cleaning experience according to the specific task at hand. From quick touch-ups to deep cleaning sessions, the Dyson V10 Allergy Cordfree Vacuum Cleaner adapts effortlessly to your needs.
  4. Convenient Cordless Design: Say goodbye to the hassle of cords and limited mobility. The cordless design of the Dyson V10 Allergy enables you to clean with ease, effortlessly maneuvering around furniture and reaching tight corners without any constraints.
  5. Advanced Filtration System: Designed with allergy sufferers in mind, this vacuum features a fully sealed filtration system that captures allergens and expels cleaner air. It effectively traps microscopic particles, ensuring a healthier environment for you and your loved ones.

Cons:

  1. Relatively High Price: While the Dyson V10 Allergy Cordfree Vacuum Cleaner is undoubtedly a top-tier cleaning device, its regular price may be a deterrent for some. However, the on-sale price of $432.82 at Walmart presents a fantastic opportunity to own this exceptional vacuum at a more affordable cost.
  2. I love this vacuum so much that I could only think of one con.

Overall, the Dyson V10 Allergy Cordfree Vacuum Cleaner is a remarkable cleaning tool that combines power, convenience, and versatility. Its excellent cleaning performance, extended battery life, and cordless design make it a must-have for any household. Moreover, the advanced filtration system ensures a healthier living space for allergy sufferers.

Considering its regular price of $530, the current sale price of $432.82 at Walmart is a significant discount that shouldn’t be missed. It represents an excellent value for money, especially considering the exceptional quality and durability associated with the Dyson brand.

I wholeheartedly recommend the Dyson V10 Allergy Cordfree Vacuum Cleaner to anyone seeking a high-performance vacuum that delivers outstanding results. You’ll be amazed at how effortlessly it tackles your cleaning tasks, leaving your home fresh and clean.

Walmart Beauty Classic and Trendsetter Boxes Summer 2018

Did you know that Walmart has its own subscription beauty box?  Yup, they do!  It is a quarterly box and only costs $5 a season. Walmart technically calls it a “sample box” and says that the box itself is free and the $5 is a flat rate for shipping and handling.  Either way, the box costs $5 each season.

In your Walmart Beauty Box, you can expect to find around 7-9 samples. Sometimes there are even a few full-sized makeup samples.  Although in the past, I have raved about this box, the last few seasons have been a terrible waste of money.  If things continue this way I cannot recommend that you spend your money on this beauty box.  (I have added pictures of previous boxes below to show you how much the sample quality has decreased.)

  • Create an account
  • Add your payment and shipping info
  • Wait for your confirmation email
  • Enjoy your beauty box when it arrives

The Walmart beauty box website says

“Each subscriber will be charged upon receiving an order confirmation (locking in your box for the season).
If you do not receive an order confirmation, please check your account information to make sure the payment and shipping information in your account is up to date (as well as check your junk mail). Following the order confirmation email is a shipping confirmation, once you receive the shipping confirmation email you can expect a delivery within 5-10 business days. Each seasonal Beauty Box is a limited edition and may sell out at any time. Note: Beauty products may vary by box.”There are two different types of boxes available, the classic and the trendsetter.  Up until recently, only one box could be sent per email address, but that has been changed.  I  now receive both boxes.

Here is what I got in this season’s boxes:

Trendsetter Box

For only $5USD four times a year, this used to be a great subscription box to receive. (see below photos, take special notice of the Spring 2017 boxes.  The quality of samples has greatly decreased since then!)

If you follow me on Instagram, you might remember that my disgust over the items I received in the classic summer Walmart beauty box brought me out of a 4 month IG hibernation. I receive both the classic and traditional boxes. I’m just as disgusted by both of them. What are your thoughts? What about you?  Do you get this Walmart Beauty Box?  Do you get any other subscription bags/boxes that are worth trying out? Let me know in the comments below.

This season, I got an email from Walmart Beauty asking me if I would be interested in opting in to get a special box called the “Take A Me Moment” beauty box instead of one of the regular Spring Beauty Boxes.  So far it hasn’t shipped yet, but I’ll post about it whenever I get it.

Take A Me Moment Box

Luckily for me, looks as if I will be receiving another bottle of nail polish…sigh…🙄

Overall, I think that this was just an ok set of samples in the Trendsetter box.  Personally, I hate foil packets!  They are such a waste of a sample!  There is usually enough product inside the sample for more than one use, but because of the packaging, it is hard to use it more than once.Aveeno trendsetter Walmart Beauty Box Trendsetter Box Spring 2017 | lookingjoligood.blog

Also, possibly because my only full-size product was nail polish, and I hate nail polish, might be why I feel as if this Trendsetter box wasn’t overly impressive compared to previous boxes.  (see the photos below)

The product that I am most interested in trying out is the Biore Free Your Pores Baking Soda Acne Scrub.  In previous boxes, I have gotten several great skin care products that I probably wouldn’t have tried otherwise. biore trendsetter Walmart Beauty Box Trendsetter Box Spring 2017 | lookingjoligood.blog

Although I am not as impressed with this box as I have been with previous boxes, for only $5 each, I find that the Walmart beauty boxes are generally a good deal!  How about you, do you get the Walmart Beauty box?  Did you get the same samples in your box? What do you think?

Make up · Review · Weekly Product Highlight

Rimmel London Show Off Lip Velvet

~Weekly Product Highlight~Rimmel London Show Off Lip Velvet liquid lipstick~

Overall I am usually not a huge fan of liquid lipsticks.  While the color pay off and lasting power is usually great, I don’t like for my lips to feel dry and uncomfortable.

I personally would not have bought this Rimmel London Show Off Lip Velvet liquid lipstick for myself, but I received it in a Walmart beauty box* As far as I know, in the US, this specific Rimmel London Show Off Lip Velvet is only sold at Walmart and Walmart.com.  I haven’t seen it anywhere else.

*Side note: That is one of the things that I like the most about beauty boxes.  Often I get items in them that I would not purchase on my own, yet I end up really enjoying them.

At first, since I don’t like liquid lipsticks, I was hesitant to even try this out.  I was considering just passing it along to someone else, but then for some reason, I decided to swatch it and I really like the color.   I have the shade 307 Meteoric Matte.  The packaging is super cute as well. One of the things that I really like about the design of it is the doe ft applicator has a little divot in.  Such a simple thing that makes a big difference.  Just enough product collects in the little divot to cover my entire lips.

Rimmel London Show Off Lip Velvet liquid lipstick | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

Unfortunately, my husband is not a huge fan of these darker/deeper/brighter shades of lipstick on me, so I don’t wear them too often.  I will definitely recommend that if you are trying to decide on a liquid lipstick and whether or not to try out this  Rimmel London Show Off Lip Velvet liquid lipstick, I say at around $5 it is a good one to buy!

wp-1465770062639.jpg

I have worn this “lip velvet” several times now and so far have enjoy it.  I wouldn’t really call it a true matte, and it never completely dries down.  Both of those things don’t bother me since I personally don’t like the look or feel of matte lipsticks on me.  While even at around 4 hours later the color still transfers, overall the color also lasts around 6 hours.  I don’t know about other shades, but this one in particular wears off for the most part evenly. Does it look great at the 6 hour mark, no, not great, but it also doesn’t look terrible either.  It didn’t look too bad after eating while I was wearing it either.

Rimmel London Show Off Lip Velvet | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

I didn’t find that it feathers or runs, even without a lipliner. I have to be a bit careful when I first apply to not get any on my teeth or the outside of my lips because it will stain the surrounding skin.  I feel as if this particular shade would look great all all skin tones and colors.  Added bonus this shade makes my teeth look super white!

But… I Really Do Like To Buy More and More New Makeup!

Well, as I have recently mentioned, I have really been trying not to buy new makeup…easier said than done! I really like to browse the makeup aisles! I love to look at all the new things!  I love to get great deals on makeup!  I love to buy all the makeup!  

Unfortunately, I don’t have a ton of space to store all the many beauty products that I buy. I have so many makeup products that I have used one or two times and completely forgotten about.  I also have so many awesome products that I don’t give enough love to.  I have decided that I am going to be going on a strict No Buy!  I will be shopping but it will be in my own stash.  Hopefully along the way I will discover some new loves and rediscover some old goodies!

But... I Really Do Like To Buy More and More New Makeup! | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com
I can hear all the beautiful things calling out my name!

Here are my self imposed rules to my No Buy…

  1. I can repurchase a product if I run out of a holy grail product that I always use on a daily basis. (ie my Maybelline Volum’ Express The Colossal  Mascara is running low and I know I am going to have to buy another one soon.)
  2. I can purchase/repurchase hair care and skin care items as they run out and need to be replaced.
  3. Ipsy and Walmart Beauty Subscriptions are not included since they are automatic subscriptions.
  4. Although, Target Beauty Boxes are going to be included in this self imposed No Buy.  I have so many stacked up filled with product samples that I have never used.
  5. When I feel as if I want to buy something new I need to first stop and ask myself “Do I already own something very similar to this product?”
  6. I need to try out and use up products and samples that I already own.
  7. Chapstick/lip balm is a major necessity, so if I see a new one that I really want to try, I can get it…Never mind, that totally goes agains the point of what I am trying to do.  No new chapsticks/lip balms.  I definitely have enough already!

What about you?  How do you decided when to cut back on your spending?  Do you have a monthly makeup budget?  If so how much do you usually spend?
