Amazon Haul Makes Us Ask What in the Temu is Going On?

Well, it’s happening. Amazon Haul Beta has dropped. What is Amazon Haul? It’s a selection of products for $20 or less (really, most are $10 and under) much like Temu. Yup, Amazon’s take on Temu is to getting you to spend, spend, spend on home, fashion, electronics, and more with budget-friendly prices. But will they arrive as fast with Prime-like speed? Sadly, no. Amazon Haul is not part of the Amazon Prime shipping service. Anything purchased on Amazon Haul can take up to two weeks to arrive.

The idea of Amazon Haul is to provide current customers in the US with a place to discover a wide variety of items at super low prices. Apparently, the selection is huge with over 300 million products to choose from over 35 categories. But no, Amazon isn’t actually selling these items personally. But they do pick, pack, and ship the items on behalf of sellers whom they have partnered with around the world (I suspect they mean China). You do have to buy more to save on shipping though as free delivery applies to orders of $25 or more. You will get an additional discount if you purchase more with orders of $50 or more getting 5% off and $75 or more getting 10% off.

Is Locking Up Products Hurting Sales? Walgreens Says It Sure Does!

Today Walgreens reports that locking up products is hurting their sales. Is anyone surprised? I’m not! As you know Walmart started the trend of locking up a variety of products to deter shoplifters from stealing them and later on were allegedly sued because of it.

Soon after the pandemic ended and lockdown was lifted we saw more and more stores doing the same. Walmart, Target, Walgreens, everyone was locking up a selection of products like deodorant, toothpaste, body lotions, skincare, and more. I always found it rather ironic that they’d lock up the more random items and the entire four or more aisles of makeup never had a lock in place at any of my stores. I guess everyday essentials are more popular with shoplifters.

eos Shea Better Cashmere Body Wash is Real and Available in Texas

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

By now you’ve probably heard the good word that that EOS is releasing Body Washes! EOS Shea Better Cashmere Body Wash have been spotted all over Texas at HEB and I believe a few people have seen them at Dollar General. Sadly, I haven’t seen a whisper or a word about these in New Year but I’m patiently awaiting their arrival for the Spring 2025 season. And yes, our beloved Vanilla Cashmere will be available in a body wash as well! Right now at HEB you can get the body washes in Coconut Waters, Fresh & Cozy, and Pink Champagne. These are 16 oz in size and $10 each. I suspect when we get them we’ll see them pop up at Target and Walmart first and later on at other mass retailers like Ulta.

Do I need another body wash? No. I have shower gels to last me now into the next century but I’ll totally purchase eos Shea Better Vanilla Cashmere Body Wash. Who doesn’t love that warm, delicious vanilla scent? It’s so comforting and lovely plus it layers so well with perfumes like Lush Vanillary and Lattafa Maitha Perfume Oil.

I dunno about you but I’m looking forward eos Shea Better Cashmere Body Wash. I probably won’t buy all of them because as I said my shower stash is pretty wild but I’ll def be grabbing the vanilla one!

It’s Been Three Years Since We Discussed Influencers Who Curse

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

I was watching a Tiktok a week or so ago and was immediately greeted with a F bomb. I swear, it couldn’t be more than three seconds into the video and the word just popped out right away. No greeting, no, hey, welcome to my Tiktok, just a big F bomb. And of course, the cursing only continued after that so we got a three minute Tiktok that has at least twenty curse words in it and I’m having trouble concentrating on what the short form makeup review is about because all the mother f*cking going on is short circuiting my brain.

Am I prude? Am I not liberal or hip enough to watch this mother f*cking Tiktok? Am I just too old to tolerate constant cursing? I do question how I feel about this particular topic sometimes and I thought we could discuss it because we haven’t really talked about makeup reviews that constant having cursing in the in three years. Have your thoughts maybe changed about it? Are you ok with? Do you hate it?
