Day by Day Beauty Luxury Blotting Paper Review

Happy Thursday! If you’ve been a follower of mine for a while, you may know that one of my must have beauty products is oil blotting sheets. I always like to keep a pack with me in my purse so that if my skin gets shiny throughout the day I can take care of it easily without messing up my makeup. I’ve tried some high end blotting sheets in the past, but I have to say I always go back to the drugstore. When I got the opportunity to review Day by Day Beauty’s Luxury Blotting Paper, I was excited to see how well the product would work for me. Let me share my thoughts with all of you!

Day by Day Beauty Luxury Blotting Paper Review | Adventures in PolishlandThe Day by Day Beauty Luxury Blotting Paper is designed to gently remove excess oil and shine while leaving your makeup intact. The brand aims to leave your skin “petal fresh,” and each sheet is made with premium-grade, natural pulp fiber. I love the simple packaging, and it’s adorable that Day by Day includes a “Hello, beautiful” message inside the flap.

They are very thin, and I found they would break during use. Overall, they worked extremely well. I did sometimes have to use two sheets to get all of the oil off my face, but in the end I always got the shine-free result I wanted. They definitely left my makeup intact, but I did notice a bit of my foundation came off onto the sheet. This is probably due to the oil, and not the blotting sheet, but I still wanted to mention it.

All in all, the Day by Day Beauty Luxury Blotting Sheets work very well. The best part about them is the price tag. For $9.97 you get two packages of 100 sheets each. In other words, you are getting 200 blotting sheets, with each one being just 5ยข! That is definitely a huge bargain, even when compared to the drugstore brand I usually purchase. Even if I use two blotting sheets at a time, I will not have to repurchase them for a while! I highly recommend the Day by Day Beauty Luxury Blotting Sheets. You can purchase them on Amazon HERE.

Please let me know in the comments what your must have beauty items are, and whether you love blotting sheets as much as I do!

My March PopSugar Must Have Box!

Happy Saturday! Today I will be sharing with you a new monthly subscription program that I joined. The PopSugar Must Have Box is a lifestyle box filled with goodies from all different areas – beauty, home, fashion, and more! It is $35 each month, but the box is to have at least a $100 value. After doing some research, I decided to go for it and sign up! My goal was to use this box as an alternative to buying new products myself. I am loving my first box! Let me show you what was inside.

IMG_1032 IMG_1034First I’ll show you what the box looks like when you get it. I love the bright pink tissue paper and the “Enjoy” sticker! It’s adds a personal touch. You can also see the little booklet that explains all of the items in the box. Look at all those goodies! So much to see here!

IMG_1038IMG_1035In your box you will also have items from different “Must Have” categories. Here are my two Must Have Fashion items. On the left is a Sweater Saverfrom Hollywood Fashion Secrets. It’s a small brick that your rub over sweaters and blankets to remove pills without damaging the items. I definitely have a couple sweaters that could use this! The Sweater Saver retails for $5.99. I also got a beautiful necklace from Heather Belle. It is a long gold chain with an octagon and tassel designs near the bottom. I’ve been wanting to buy more jewelry, so this is perfect! I was unable to find out the exact retail value of this necklace, but others on the Heather Belle website are selling for $75!

IMG_1036For the Must Have Home category, I got two more items. On the left is the Corkatoo Corkscrewfrom True Fabrications. This is such a cute corkscrew, and while I don’t drink wine, this will make a great gift item! It retails for $15.99. I also got this Denim Washfrom The Laundress. I am quite excited about this item! It not only retails at $19, but it is non-toxic, biodegradable, and allergen free. I can use this in my washing machine to make sure my denim isn’t fading! I will definitely use this entire bottle, and it will make my current bottle of laundry detergent last longer.

IMG_1037Now onto Must Have Beauty! I am so excited about these next two items. First is the Buxom Sculpted Lash Mascara. This is a $19 mascara and I am so excited! I love buying mascaras because it is one of the few makeup items I wear every day. This one is a high end brand that I wouldn’t have bought otherwise, but now I get to try it. I can’t wait to see how it works! I am also super excited about the nail polish I got! This is a set from The New Black called Pardon My French. I got the color set called Havoc. I’ve been dying to try these nail polishes, but couldn’t bring myself to spend the money on them. This mini set retails for $10! I will admit that I squealed a little when I saw this in the box.

IMG_1039Last but not least are my Special Extras for the month! Holly Fashion Secrets also provided a Fashion Tape Assortment Pack. This is great for holding accessories in place or hemming pants quickly. Also included were some Peeps! I don’t like Peeps, so these will be getting sent out in some nail mail. These are special bonuses, so I didn’t find out how much they retailed for.

All in all, my items add up to about $70 not including the necklace and the Special Extras. If the necklace is worth around $75, my box is definitely over the $100 mark! I’m really happy with everything in my box. They are either items I will use myself or give as gifts. I am going to continue on in this program for sure!
