October Beauty Box 5 Review

This is my second Beauty Box 5.

What is it?
It is a monthly beauty box subscription. It costs $12 a month I believe. You get five products each  month. Some full size, some sample size. So far I have been pleased with my selections.
This month I got:
Chapstick hydration Lock , Retail Value $2.99
I like this and will definitely use it

Bellapierre Cosmetics Cheek and Lip Stain in Pink Full Size Retails for 19.99 (sample was not full size)   I probably won't use this as a cheek stain, but I put it on over my chapstick and liked it as lipstick.

Extend your beauty Cosmetic Tool, Retails for $5.49. This tool is to get the last bit of product out of a  hard to reach beauty product. I don't see myself using this. The tip is dishwasher-safe so it could be used over and over. We shall see, but I don't think I'll use it.

I don't usually like or wear the nailpolishes that I get but I have this fantasy that someday I'll grow my nails and be able to  paint them in these pretty colors. I do know in the real world that I will not be growing my nails and even if I did grow them, me painting them would look like a 5 year old did it. I really need to go in and re-do my profile so I don't get nailpolish but I just have not given up on the fantasy yet.
So anyway, this month I got a brand I've never heard of in a color I've never seen. Nanacoco. Color Illusionist..a purple/blue . Retails for $3.95. Full Size Sample.

And the final sample is Lashem Picture Perfect. Retails for $3.95 but this is definitely not full size. It's a pretty tiny sample. It is wrinkle cream, or if you don't have wrinkles yet it says that it can be used as a primer blend.

So, if you add up the products that were full size you are at $12.49 retail.  plus the samples in less than full size. Not sure I'd buy any of this other than the chapstick so maybe not worth it this month but going to the mailbox and finding a little blue/green box with goodies is enough to make me smile...so I think I'll keep this for a bit longer. I still find Ipsy to be my favorite.  When it arrives this month I will do a review on it too.

February Ipsy Glam Bag and BirchBox

I've been loving my Ipsy Glam bags for a while now . Getting goodies in the mail is so much fun! And a girl can never have too much make up, right?!

This months bag was a big hit..first it is PINK..my favorite color. To get yours (and to earn me more points) please click here: http://www.ipsy.com/r/44in

And this month I also started getting BirchBox. https://www.birchbox.com/invite/2tsr8
It is the same price as Ipsy ($10 per month) but it has a few other options..you can choose a male or female box. The box for men is a bit more expensive. And besides make up you get other things..this month I got tea samples. I love the perfume sample from Juicy Couture..it's probably my favorite thing. I'll play with the liquid eyeliner by Cynthia Rowley Beauty but I'm just not that steady with liquid liners.

I hope you'll join up and let me know what you think of Ipsy and Birchbox!

September Ipsy Bag

I always love going to the mailbox and finding the pink bubble envelope! This months was no exception, I liked most of the products. 

Cailyn Big Apple tinted lip balm. I'm not a huge fan of red lipstick on myself but I did love this color and will probably wear it from time to time. The applicator was unique and I love the little brush to put on the lip balm

I'm not a big fan of purple but I've seen other people get a dark grey almost black color instead this month so I'm happy that I got the purple. It doesn't have the glitter that the grey had in it and it's very soft. Not sure I'll wear it much. Nice size container.

The mascara was a bit sticky but I did like the curved brush. It is a sample size of :It's so Big" Volumizing mascara. I don't wear a lot of mascara because I think I'm allergic or something, my eyes always water and burn when I do. We shall see how this one works out.   The Jesses Girl liquid eyeliner was  nice but I don't have much experience putting it on and not a very steady hand so it went all over my eye lips..did not wipe off easily. Will take some practice.

The bag itself is cute like all Ipsy bags. I think I have about 20 or so..not sure what to do with them but they are cute.

I didn't try the nude lipstick in today's bag It was J-Cats beauty.Fantabulous lipstick. My lips are small enough without a nude color lipstick on them. not a fan.
