December 2012 Ipsy Bag!

Item Contents:

• Mai Couture Highlighting papier (25 count)
• Mirabella primer for face and eues
• Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on eyeliner in zero
• NYX loose pearl shadow Silver Pearl
• Be a Bombshell lipgloss in Hot Mess
• JustFab coupon code for $20 off Ipsy girl's line

They are promoting the crap out of their collaboration with JustFab.  I was tempted the last time to order something since every item is $39.50 but with the ipsy promotion, you could score a pair of shoes or handbag for $20.  This seems to be one of those subscription services for shoes and bags where they'll charge you every month for one JustFab credit if you decide to skip the month and not purchase anything.  I am not interested in bags and shoes that I cannot see in person and touch or try on.  All the ladies of Ipsy chose a shoe and handbag that represents their style.  I really like Andrea's style of boots but the handbag looks unnecessarily heavy.  

December 2012 - Love with Food

I took advantage of a groupon offer for 3 months of Love with Food for $15 ($5/box) I never tried a food subscription but couldn't let this offer go!

Love with Food is normally $15/month. For every box bought, one meal will be donated to someone in need.  This month featured TWO meals dontated for every box, for the victims of Hurrican Sandy in NY/NJ.

I am located in Staten Island and LOVE to see how Love with Food is extending their hand to help out.

Thus, this box is amazing on this point alone.

• Candy Cane Truffles from Kara Chocolates
• Fleur de Sel Caramel Popcorn from 479 Popcorn
• Holiday Salt Water Taffy from Taffy Town

December 2012 Birchbox

What a surprise that my Birchbox came early this month! After a few months of it being delayed, I was pleasantly surprised to receive it today.

Kerastase Resistance Ciment Thermique - Protect

Juice Beauty Stem Cellular CC Cream in warm glow

Nicole by Nicole Richie perfume

I LOVE Nicole Richie since her young socialite days. My sister and I met her once in Times Square Virgin Megastores a few years ago.  She autographed her novel, The Truth about Diamonds.

The scent of this perfume is amber-vanilla but it wasn't a lasting scent, very subtle.  Usually I hate perfume fragrances sent to me because I am very VERY particular to scents but this one was enjoyable although it didn't last too long.

theBalm cosmetics Mary-Lou Manizer

How cute is this sample! I love theBalm cosmetics and this highlighter/eyeshadow all-in-one is delightful! Super sparkley and multi-purpose is convenient in size!

Lifestyle Extra - Emily's chocolates - Dark chocolate peppermind holiday fortunes

Overall, this box is okay.  I love to try new innovative products like the CC cream and I am loving this tiny theBalm product!  I will de

November's Natural Beauty Box

November 2012 The Natural Beauty Box!

I signed up for 6 month subscription to this because my sister and I both LOVE using all natural products.  Sometimes it is difficult (and expensive!) to switch over to all beauty products to be all natural but this is a great start to find great items!

This month was pretty great! Lots of products that I will use

Fruit ion Blue Raspberry Lip yum (full size)

Temptations Bath n Body DeLuv Cupcake Soap

L'sensuelle Natural Aphrodisiac Solid Perfume (full size) Essential oils of ylang ylang, rose, sandalwood, amber and frankincense. I do not prefer scents of rose or any floral type scents.

I 

Dr Emerald Golden Berries Extra Moisturizing Facial Cream

Fruit ion Papaya and Orange split end saver (.05 oz) This smells delicious! I almost want to eat it!  I used it on my ends and it looks like it works! I am in desperate need of a haircut, I'm probably 6 months overdue so my ends are horrid!  This product smells and works great.

Native Touch Rooting Bear rub

Delizioso Cream Stick Eyeshadow in Clover

Delizioso Sour Cherry Whip Lip Scrub I LOVE LOVE LOVE this product!  I hate how sometimes when I use a chapstick, my lips are still chapped and visible when wearing lipstains. It's so gross!  But this lip scrub really takes off the excess and smells delicious at the same time.  The little exfoliators are apricot seeds! 

Queen Oompabulous Glam Dust eye Shadow in fairy wings and fallen star How pretty! At first, I was a little displeased this product came in ziploc bags.  It seems very messy and hard to use but realistically, a little goes a long long way!  The camera would never capture the beauty of the sparkly shimmer!  

The Natural Beauty Box is expanding to another subscription box called The Gourmet Candy Bag for $12/month for luxury and natural candy.  This month they included a organic fair trade 41% milk chocolate with a hint of hazelnut.  

Ipsy November 2012

November 2012 Ipsy Bag!

Ipsy has been running to the front of the line with my subs! This is my third month and every month I have been SUPER satisfied.  Although there are items that I don't use, I know someone else who would! 

Starlet Cosmetics pencil eyeliner in black (full size)

Benefit's They're Real mini mascara (deluxe size)

The Balm Meet Matte eyeshadow in Matt Batali (single eyeshadow pan)

Nailtini nail laquer in Millionarie (full size)

BareMineral Moxie lipgloss in Daredevil (deluxe size)

Although there are quite products that I wouldn't use from this bag, I have FINALLY found my holy grail mascara! I am LOVING Benefit's They're Real mascara and have been twitching to try it! I am SO happy I did! It does Wonders to my short, straight and hard to curl lashes. The formula lasts HOURS and my lashes stay curled! Amazing!

Birchbox November 2012

I finally received my Birchbox for the month.  It came pretty late due to Hurricane Sandy and honestly, I think it was extended because they forgot about me.

Overall, this box was good-- I'm just a little bitter about the poor customer service.

Model Co. Fibre Lashxtend Lengthening Mascara The card included a tip to rotate the mascara wand to pick up the fibers.  This was a more "natural" look to my lashes, it did not help legthen my lashes much.  I love that there is a mirror on the mascara tube.

Stila all over shimmer liquid luminizer Loved this item! My favorite in the box! It is really shimmery as a highlighter.

Lulu Organics Lavender and Clary Sage Hair Powder  I have been wanting to try this product out since I really love dry shampoos but I have never used one that was a powder (only used the sprays).  I have really oily hair and I used it on a particularly diry hair day.  It worked pretty good, I would definitely use this in between days of not shampooing my hair.

Jouer mini rollerball Cornucopia I naturally do not gravitate towards floral scents but this fragrance oil was delightful when it soaked into my skin.  The mix of gardenia, jasmine and honeysuckle mixture is lovely and light.

(not pictured)

Lifestyle extra: Soyjoy bar in cranberry I have tried these bars before and did not like them but I wanted to give it another try.  My first experience was right, these are gross.  There are SO many healthy snacks avaiable and these are definitely NOT one of them

At first, I didn't find these to be moisturizing but after adding the shimmery side, it was more hydrating.  I liked Stunner and Vixen unfortunately, Minx was too dark for me.

Overall, these products are pretty and really shimmery.
