Monthly Favorites: July 2015

Wednesday, July 29, 2015


Hello everyone! It has been quite a while! I'm sorry for the lack of posts, I got into a blogging rut and couldn't think of anything to blog about. I'm back now though, and hopefully that won't happen again!
Today, since it's the end of July, I figured a monthly favorites post would be a perfect post for today! I don't have many favorites, as I haven't really discovered any new products, but I hope you guys enjoy!

Urban Decay Naked Palette: I only have the first Naked palette, but i'm absolutely in love with it! This is my go to palette that I use for my everyday makeup routine. I love all the colors in it, it's just wonderful!
Britney Spears Fantasy Twist Perfume: This was in a previous favorites of mine and I have rediscovered it! This is my go to perfume! I mainly use the purple side of this, which I didn't like at first but now I do! It smells so good!
CoverGirl + Olay Tone Rehab Foundation: This is the foundation I've been using for months! I love it! It gives decent coverage and it's very buildable too! The only thing I don't like about it is it's oiliness, but that can be fixed with a powder!
Tarte Lipsurgence Lip Creme: I don't usually wear lip products, but when I do, it's this! I have the color Wishful, which isn't on their website. It's a very nudey pink, and I love it!

That's all I have for you guys for today! Have a great day!

Ciao,
Heather

Review: Popsugar Must Have Box December 2014

Wednesday, December 17, 2014


Hello everyone! Today I have a Popsugar Must Have Review for you! I was super excited about this box and couldn't wait for it to get here! I saw some spoilers and knew I had to get it!


What is it: Popsugar is a monthly subscription box service that delivers "must-have" items ranging from fashion, beauty, home decor, fitness, food, and much, much more. There are full sized and premium items that all add up to over $100 worth of products!

Cost and Shipping: $39.95 a month for people who live in the US. (My dad got this box for me and used a coupon code to get the box for only $21!)

December's box was inspired by cheers, party ready, indulgence, holiday treats, sparkle and glamour! 

Here is what was in the box!
SPUN By Subtle Luxury Speckled Metallic Scarf ($62): I love this scarf, it is so pretty and soft! I've been getting more into accessories recently and I need some scarves, so I'm happy that this scarf came in this box!

Sparklepop Sydney Necklace ($42): I don't wear necklaces often, but I do really like this necklace. I've never owned anything like it! It is super long and the little crystal is really pretty. It falls to about my belly button if I leave it how it is.

Smashbox Be Legendary Long-wear Lip Lacquer in Bordeaux ($24): With all the makeup I have, I surprisingly don't own any Smashbox products! I am happy I got this product and I think this is going to be my go to lip product for winter! The color is perfect for winter!

Canvas Dauville Platinum Bowl ($29): I do not think this bowl is worth $29, but I really do like it. I am currently using this as a little jewelry dish! I don't know if it'll stay that way, but we'll see if I change my mind.

Williams-Sonoma Cupcake Mix in Vanilla Bean ($15): I have quite the sweet tooth, so getting a cupcake mix in this box made me super excited! I'm going to make these next week with the cookie mis I got in my Birchbox Home Sweet Homespun box!

Knot & Bow Parcel Tags ($4): This is the only product in the box that didn't excite me at all. I kind of think this is a waste since I don't use gift tags. I'm probably going to give these to my mom since she'll get more use out of them than me.

The total value of December's Popsugar Box is $176! That is crazy considering my dad got this box for me for only $21! I think this box is well worth the price and I think everyone should get this month's box! I absolutely love all of the products, minus the gift tags! 
What do you guys think of this months box? Let me know!

Review: Birchbox November 2014

Saturday, November 29, 2014

Hello everyone! Today I have a Birchbox review for you! I hope you all enjoy!

What is it: Birchbox is a monthly subscription box that delivers 4-6 beauty samples to your door every month. There is a women's and men's box available. You also get points in their rewards program for reviewing items that you got in your box .

Cost and shipping: $10 a month for those of you who live in America. There is also Birchbox France, UK, and Spain for those of you who live in those areas.

This month, Birchbox's theme was giving and if you took a photo of your box with the hashtag #shaRED and posted it on social media, Birchbox would donate $1 to help fight AIDS.


This is what was in my November Birchbox!


Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo(.75 oz- $8): I've been wanting to get some dry shampoo recently, so this was a good thing to see in my box! I love the packaging that it came in and it's a pretty decently sized sample. I'm sure I'll be getting a lot of use out of this product!


Gilchrist & Coames Spa Therapy Body Lotion (1oz-$1.86): At first, I wasn't so fond of getting lotion in my subscription boxes. In fact, I hated it. But now that the weather is getting colder and my hands are getting drier, I'm really glad I've been getting lotion samples. This lotion smells really good and it isn't too oily either! I like it quite a lot!



derma e Evenly Radiant Brightening Cleanser(~1oz-$2.58): This is the one product that can NEVER disappoint me in subscription boxes. I love changing up my skincare routine and I use quite a lot of the product when I use face washes, so it's quite nice to have extra face washes laying around for when I run out. This face wash is gentle and leaves my skin feeling soft!



Cynthia Rowley Beauty Creamy Lip Stain in Heartthrob($10): If there's one thing I don't need, it's lip products. I have so many at home and at school that I do not ever use. This is quite a tiny sample, so I don't know how many uses i'm going to get out of it. This also goes on more pink than red on your lips. It's okay.


Eyeko Fat Eye Stick in Satin Taupe (FULL SIZE- $5): I love the color of this eye stick, it is a perfect nude color! I use this under my eyeshadow as a base and it is just lovely. I love that it is a full size instead of a tiny eyeliner that won't get many uses. This twists up, so there is a lot more product than what you can see. I love it!


Bonus item- Blood Orange Caramel Chocolate: I hated this chocolate. I did not think it was good. At all. It would've tasted better if it didn't have the orange in it. This was such a disappointment because I love chocolate. I have quite the sweet tooth.

The total value of the box this month is $27.44. I loved everything in this months box, except for the chocolate, and I can't wait to use the dry shampoo! I love Birchbox and I honestly think it is my favorite subscription box. The value is great and you get more than what you pay for! I highly recommend this to anyone looking to start getting into a beauty subscription boxes!
What do you guys think of this months box?
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!

Ciao,
Heather
