OCTOBER BEAUTY ARMY BOX

Hello Lovelies!

This is the first time in awhile that I haven't skipped Beauty Army in a long time! Beauty Army is another beauty subscription, it costs $12 per month but it does allow you to skip if the choices don't interest you. That is one thing I do love about Beauty Army, they give you the choice to skip, and they also give you the choice to pick 6 samples out of the 9 they have decided fit your profile the best.

After refreshing my account what felt like a billion times I finally got 6 samples that I was happy about!

Here are the products I picked:

Revlon Bold Lacquer Mascara in Blackest Black, Full Size!

This mascara is showing up in all of the beauty subscriptions! This is my second full sized one, my first one came from Beauty Box 5. This mascara is nice for separating my lashes, which clump easily, so I use it as a 'pre-mascara', I put it on after I prime my lashes and before I use my main mascara. Yay for back ups!

 Vincent Longo Lip and Cheek Gel Stain in Angel's Touch, 0.09 FL OZ
This Gel stain is ok, it is super watery at first so you really have to rub it to get it to soak in or it will leave weird water spots.

 Swatch

 Burt's Bees Lip Crayon in Sedona Sands, Full Size!
I love Burt's Bees products, and I'm so excited that they have come out with a lip crayon! This is really nice and pigmented, goes on smooth, and looks great! Also I have to mention, how adorable is that cap, it has honeycomb print on it!!

 Swatch

 Pretty Woman Nail Polish in Stop and Stare, 0.17 Fl Oz.
This polish is so time and cute! I have never heard of this brand and I'm excited to see if their formula is good! I love red polishes!!

 Aromaflage Botanical Fragrance & insect Repellent Sample.
Ok, I know that sounds weird that it is also an insect repellent, but that is one of the reasons why I got it! Ever since I moved back to North Carolina mosquitoes have been attacking me like no other, I'm hoping that this will help me get rid of them while smelling good too! It smells really good and fruity, it has a citrus, vanilla scent and I really like it.

 Nelson J Beverly Hills Argan Oil 7 Moisture Healing Mask in Coconut, 0.5 Fl Oz
I love getting hair masks in my boxes, my hair is thick and damaged, so this is definitely a win for me, even if it is in a foil packet.

Overall I am happy with my Beauty Army box for October, I will use all of these products and there was some decent sizes, which doesn't come often with Beauty Army! I hope next month they have some good stuff again!

Don't forget to subscribe :)

Thank you!

MAY BEAUTY ARMY BOX!

MAY BEAUTY ARMY BOX!!

Hello everyone!! So before I start I just want to apologize and say that I will be using pictures from the Beauty Army site today, when I got the box I got a little excited and opened stuff up. It also didn't help that I am visiting my mom while I  and she decided that she wanted a couple of the items I got. This month's box came with 8 products instead of the usual 6 because there was a couple of mess ups in my last box. 

Without further ado, here is what came in my May box:

 This was such an awesome box!! I know that a lot of people do not like getting tea in their box but I really enjoyed both of these flavors! As soon as I opened the box I made the Vanilla Bean tea, I am definitely going to purchase a box of it! 
I am also going to purchase a box of the chocolate tea because it is so yummy!  

I personally am not a fan of the Nelson J Argan Oil Shampoo, only because I don't like how it doesn't foam up; the reason I picked it was because my mom loves it so I decided to be a good daughter and get it for her!

I will show you one 'in person' picture of the NAILUV polish

This color is a very pretty bright and vibrant pink! The only downside to getting this is that you need to have an LED lamp in order to use it. I didn't want to swatch it on my nail, but I am going to go pick me up an LED light and I will update with some photos!

Overall I absolutely love Beauty Army and have been subscribed to them for awhile and will continue my subscription. I love that no matter what you get 6 items and you get to pick those items and the products always come in a cute box (I hoard them lol)! I also love that if you do not like the options  for samples you can skip a month, which you cannot do with most beauty subscriptions, so for $12 per month I am a happy girl!

MARCH BEAUTY ARMY BOX!

March Beauty Army Box!

Hello everyone! I know, I know it has been a LONG time since I have blogged. I have been so busy that I have completely put off my blogging duties! Hopefully I can get past the major business that I call my schedule and post more!

Today I have my Beauty Army subscription box for March, well one of my boxes, I actually have 3 subs for Beauty Army! 

The first item that I received in this month's box is the Skinn Cosmetics Teen Tone Color Touch Eye, Cheek and Lip Glow. 

This is a full sized product that retails for $17! Just this product alone pays for the box ($12) plus some! It is a very nice light shade of pink; it is very pigmented and smooth which makes it easier to apply. 

     The next product that I picked is a dry shampoo from New York Streets. 

It is a 5.35 Oz and it is as well a full-sized product! This retails for $17.99! 

I have tested this out and I love it! It does give the white residue after spraying it in your hair but if you leave it in for a couple of minutes and then rub it in it gives your hair some extra volume while taking away any oils in your hair. 

 The third product I picked is a sample of soap, I am pretty sure it is for your face. It is from the company The Olive Bar and it smells AMAZING! It's scent is lemon and lavender; I'm not usually a lavender but this bar smells inc. redibly good! I absolutely adore the packaging on this product as well! This is one of the most original packing ideas I have seen in awhile. The sample size says 1oz a full size is 8 Oz and retails for $10 

Next is a 5oz bottle of Bath and Body Works Paris Amour Shea enriched shower gel

This size retails for $5 in the store. I know that a lot of people don't like having this product as an option but I personally love it because I love travel friendly items due to the fact that I travel often. 

Last but not least is a full sized Mark. (Avon) mascara in the color Blacklash.

It is still a pretty small mascara (.12oz) but I like it because I can stash it in my purse easily. This retails for $6.50! It also came with a hook-up if I want to attach it to a lipgloss, eyeliner, or mascara from Mark. 

This Beauty Army box was literally AMAZING, the box cost $12 and I got $47 in product! I am a very satisfied Beauty Army costumer and would recommend it to anyone!  

November Beauty Army Kit!

NOVEMBER BEAUTY ARMY KIT!

 

 

 

It has been awhile since I have blogged but I am back for good! I have been missing blogging very much but have been so busy with family and school that I haven't had the time. I actually first will say that I have two subs with Beauty Army now and this is my first box from my second sub and most of the items are repeat items that I have already received in the past and that I have fell in love with! The only problem that I am having with Beauty Army, and pretty much every other monthly subscription I have, is that shipping is getting so incredibly slow! This box took over two weeks to get to me! So without further ado, here is my Beauty Army kit for the month of November! (Sorry for the horrible pictures I have been having to use my Galaxy S3 to take them because I cannot find my camera anywhere! I'm sure my 3 year old had something to do with that though lol!

 

 

 

 

First let's look at the items that I have already got in previous Beauty Army kits

 

Youngblood Mineral Primer

I got this in my very first subscription box with Beauty Army and was so incredibly sad when I ran out of it! It goes on my face so smooth and keeps my makeup perfect all day. I will definitely buy this in a full size sooner or later.

 

Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment

This is such an amazing hair product, I absolutely love it. I am so happy this came up in my choices. My friends noticed a difference in my hair when I used it. My mom as well loved it and ended up taking it from me lol Every girl should try this product out! Retails for $13.50

NUME Hydro Punch Hydrating Shampoo

 

I honestly can't remember much about this shampoo but I know that I liked the conditioner that I got in one of my Myglam/Ipsy bags. So I'm going to give it a second chance and see if I like it =] 

 

 

....And the new items

 

YOUDABALM Grapefruit Chapstick

This chapstick is full sized, although it comes in a pack of 3 for $8.99 so its retail value is about $2.99ish each. This is all natural and smells just like grapefruit. It is so smooth and you can definitely feel it moisturize your lips.

 

Bath & Body Works Sweet Pea Body Wash

This is 3 FL OZ and retails for $5 I have used this product in the past after purchasing it at Bath & Body Works and it is probably my favorite scent that they have. I know that some members don't like have B&BW as an option but I love it!

 

 

Last but not least...

Skinn Twin Set in Coral Poppy

These is a lipstick and lipgloss duo and it works unbelievably great! I was unsure of this product at first but after trying it I do like it. The lipstick is a very pigmented deep coral and the lipgloss is very sparkly. I love the convenience of the mirror being on the lipgloss part, it makes it easier so that you don't have to carry around a compact mirror so that is a plus. The only thing I dislike about this product is that the gloss is very sticky but it does have an amazing fruity smell. Retail $18.50

August Beauty Army

Yay I got my Beauty Army Subscription! This is only my second month with Beauty Army but they have really impressed me. I love that I get to pick me own samples, that way I know that I want the items I am receiving. If I don't like the items that I have the option to pick from I can skip the month. It is only $12 per month for Beauty Army and you get to pick items. Their box that they send their products in are so amazingly cute as well and great for storage. This month I actually got 7 items because my account got messed up and my items did not get sent out when they were supposed to, but that is not a big deal to me.

Here is my August box:

And the samples I picked

Bath and Body Works Shower Gel in Japanesse Cherry Blossom and Twilight Woods 3 FL OZ each. I love B&BW and these are perfect for traveling, which I do a lot of. These two products alone are $5 each so that almost pays for my box already. They both smell amazing!

COCKTAIL Eau de Parfum

I am not sure how big the sample is exactly but it is a smaller vial compared to most perfume samples. The smell is rather strong, at first it reminds me of straight up alcohol but then after a few moments it reminds me of Old Spice Sport, I actually really like it. 

Fiafini Delicate Cleansing Emulsion .17 FL OZ

Kellett Clarifying Acne Treatment .1 FL OZ

I am really excited to try this out because I have tried their moisturizer gel in my Beauty Army box last month and it worked really well so I am excited to see if this works. The only negative thing about samples like this is, is that I do not like the cardboard packaging it comes in.

Besame Crimson Rouge for Rosy Lips and Cheeks

This sample is pretty small, it is about the size of a quarter but from what I have heard it lasts awhile and a little bit goes a long way. I won't be using it on my cheeks because I am pretty pale and this color is very red but I will use it on my lips.

Atopalm Intensive Moisturizing Cream .25 FL OZ

I love trying new moisturizers so I am excited to try this one out!

JULY BEAUTY ARMY BOX!

Hello ladies! Not only did I get my The Look Bag in the mail today but I also got my July Beauty Army box!!! This is my first month with Beauty Army and if you don't know what Beauty Army is, it is a monthly beauty subscription that sends out samples every month. It is only $12 per month and you get a guaranteed 6 samples! The thing that sets Beauty Army apart from other monthly beauty subscriptions is that you get to pick which samples that you want!! If you would like to subscribe to this beauty subscription you can use my referral link to sign up if you would like to, Click Here.

Here is what my box looks like and what I got in it!

 The outside of the box is really cute! It is sleek and definitely reusable!

I love the pink camo on the inside of the box!

The first product I got is the PSSSSST! Instant Dry Shampoo 1.76 OZ

This is a great size for a sample product! I am always trying out new dry shampoo's because they do come in handy!

 Apothederm Stretch Mark Cream 0.7 OZ

Pregnancy was horrible on my body so I am always looking for a new stretch mark cream that might be able to reduce the appearance of stretch marks. I am excited to try this cream but the downfall of it was that it was barely even half way full.

 Kellett Moisturizing Gel 0.1 FL OZ

YOUNGBLOOD Mineral Primer .17 FL OZ 

This is a good size sample because you do not need to use very much of this product per use. I also like that this sample was full to the brim. It is very silky smooth and spreads easily. I have heard many people say that there pump on this doesn't work so I was like, oh crap mine isn't going to work either! But surprisingly it did!! Although, even if it didn't work I would just use a lip brush to get the product out like I usually do with my elf cosmetics mineral primer. 

Macadamia Natural Oil Healing Oil Treatment 1 FL OZ

Another sample filled to the brim! This makes me a happy girl! I have heard such great reviews on this product that I am so excited to try it! I have been coloring my hair for a long time and it is some what damaged so I was very happy when this was one of the samples I got to pick from!



Last but not least the Aquolina Pink Sugar Eau De Toilette .06 FL oz

OMG I am so in love with this perfume! It smells like sugary vanilla, and I love sweet perfumes so this is perfect for me! It reminds me of walking into a candy shop that sells ice cream, one of the ones that make their one waffle cones. This scent smells like fresh waffle cones, I absolutely love it!

Overall I am loving my first month of Beauty Army! There was only two things that were a minus this month; The stretch mark cream wasn't even half full and that they mailed my box out super late but all of the good things about this box over rule the bad and I am still very pleased with this sub!
