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!

MINI DRUGSTORE HAUL!

Hello Lovelies!!

I have a super mini drugstore haul to show today, it isn't anything really exciting but I thought it would be fun to still show. I will actually be posting a few hauls within the next couple of days, I've been doing a bit of online shopping, and I'm sure my mailman is ready for it to stop haha!

My haul:

Herbel Essences Naked Volume Shampoo. I honestly just really needed some shampoo so I grabbed this one because I saw that it was paraben free, and it also smelled really nice.

A pack of cotton rounds; I cannot live without these things, I use them for my toner and removing my eye make up.

Chapsticks!! Ok is anyone else absolutely obsessed with chapsticks??? I always have to get a bunch because I use them constantly, and lose them constantly! It also doesn't help that my toddler always runs off with them as well! 

From left to right:

Softlips Cube in Fresh Mint 

Burt's Bees

Chapstick Hydration

EOS in coconut milk (This smelled bad to me, I ended up tossing it after one use. Did anyone else's smell like that?)

Lypsel - this one is my absolute favorite chapstick it always does it's job and actually hydrates my lips.

elf items:

Nail Polish Remover Pads in Citrus Scent - These smell pretty good, they aren't as moist as I want them to be, they actually feel kind of dry but you only need one per hand.

elf studio flat top brush

elf essential eyeshadow brush x2

elf essential smudge brush x2

elf essential blending eye brush x2

elf essentials concealer brush

Overall, even though it was a mini haul, it was all stuff that I needed and it was rather cheap, which is always nice ;)

Thank you!

Insiders' Choice Box

Yay good news, my Insiders' Choice Box from Beauty Bar came in the mail today!

These are limited so I would get on it while you can! This box was only $15 and came with so much product, it was one of the best boxes I have received this month. It is not a monthly subscription, it is just something that Beauty Bar is hosting. So lets get to it, here is what the box looked like!



This box was FULL of product that I am so excited to try including:

Heidi Klum Shine Eau De Toilette .5 FL Retail $17

This does have a strong scent but goes down after a couple of minutes.

It is nice because the scent changes from a nice floral smell to a vanilla smell. It would be perfect for a night out. I love the bottle design, it is very cute and will go well in my perfume collection.

 Sally Hansen Nail Effects Strips in Animal Instinct. These retail around $8.50 each. I was so surprised when I opened the box and there was not one but two sets in there! I love using these so it felt like an extra treat. I am addicted to zebra print and the pink adds an extra pop on the nails especially with the glitter added in. Although, I do not think that these last more than a couple of days; at least not on my fingernails.

Strivectin-TL Tightening Neck Cream .25 FL OZ Retails for about $12 in this size.

I have not tried this before or really need it at this point in my life but I will be giving it to a family member so I will let you know what she thinks of it =]

L'occitane Lavender Hand Cream 1 OZ Retail $10

This does have a strong lavender scent but not so much that it is too over powering. It has a nice silky smooth consistency and is not greasy.

 L'OREAL Youth Code Serum retail $24.99 1 FL OZ

I probably will as well give this to a family member so I will let you know their review on this.

  Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle Treatment Concealer in Neautralizer Retail $8.99

I am excited to try this; as a mom of a young child and a college student I do not always get the sleep I need so this will come in handy when I go out and have those dark under eye circles.

 Supergoop SPF 30 Face and Body moisturizer 1.6 FL OZ Retail $14 on birchbox.com

I LOVE moisturizers! I have dry skin especially on my face so I love getting new moisturizers to try out. SCORE!

 Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm in Red Dahlia Retail $7

I tried this out today and it is so nice! It is really buttery smooth and is very sheer. It has a bit of sparkle in it but not very much.

 IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer in Neutral medium .11 FL OZ Retails around $10

I love this bottle it is so tiny and cute! It will be perfect for carrying around in my purse. I have seen many great reviews on this so I can't wait to try this out!

 Burt's Bees Body Lotion 6 FL OZ Retail $7.99

This has a nice cocoa butter scent I like that it is not overpowering at all. It is really smooth and a great size!

L'OREAL Voluminous False Fiber Lashes in Black Noir Retail $8.95

I have already have one of these and I absolutely love it! It makes my eyelashes look thick and full. I'm happy it came in the box because I was planning on buying another one anyways!

 This actually came as an extra for ordering from Beauty Bar, I guess they send out samples with every purchase so that is awesome! It is a Malin + Goetz Vitamin E Face Moisturizer. As I have said before I love getting moisturizers because I have dry skin so I will definitely be using this!!

All in all I am very happy I ordered this box! $25 for over $100 in product is a great deal and I know that I will get use out of almost everything in it! I definitely recommend that you get in on this deal while it is still available at beautybar.com! Oh and another plus is that they are doing free 2 day shipping!!! I ordered this on Thursday the 19th and got it today, Saturday the 21st!

Have you tried any of these products? If you have what do you think of them?
