APRIL BEAUTY BOX 5!

APRIL BEAUTY BOX 5!

I subscribed to a couple new boxes this month and one of the new ones that I decided to try is Beauty Box 5. I heard about Beauty Box 5 through a Youtube channel that I am subscribed to called Pearls and Daggers the girl on there is absolutely adorable and I love watching her videos! So after seeing a few unboxing videos I decided to sign up for it! Beauty Box 5 costs $12 per month, if you would like your own Beauty Box 5 click Here. 

This is what I got in my first box!



The first item is some Oil-Absorbing facial Tissues by Jean Pierre. This comes in a pack of 50! I love these, especially with summer approaching so these went straight into my purse! This retails for $1.99.


LA FRESH Instant Body Smoother Wipes x2
Retail for about $0.40 each



Model Co. Illusion Lip Pencil in Nude. 
I like having a nude lip liner because it can work well with many different shades. I like this pencil because it is very smooth and doesn't feel dry on my lips.
Retails for $20.


Minxxette Small Brush Hanger.
I am excited for this product! I always dry my brushes on a cloth and when they sit on it for so long it flattens half of the brush, so this will definitely come in handy!
Retails for $4.99.



The last product that I received is an eyeshadow from Brazen Cosmetics in Birthday Suit. It is a nude/natural brown, it is very pretty! 


Overall I really enjoyed this month's box and cannot wait to see what comes in May's box!! 


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!

LANCOME HAUL!

Lancome Haul!

A week ago I was on MUT and I saw that someone had posted a coupon code for Lancome that gives you 5 free samples with a worth of $100 with purchase. I picked out a really pretty nail polish ($15) in the color Flirty Red! This was an awesome deal, I mean for $15 I got a ton of stuff! I was so excited to get 5 free 'gifts with purchase' and then became even more excited when checking out I was offered the choice of picking another sample! I couldn't contain myself when it came to getting my purchase free gift wrapping haha I figured that it was such a good deal it was like getting a gift, therefore it deserved the gift wrapping! 

The order came in a really cute plain silver box that will be perfect for re-using

Here is what was in my order!








I love the items!! The problem I have with getting free samples from stores is a lot of times they give items that I'm not really interested in and will never use but these samples are all amazing! 
The eyeshadow is absolutely beautiful and I will definitely get plenty of use of this! It is in the color 600 Gris Fatale.
Juicy Tube in the color Hallucination, I love the color but it is pretty sticky =/ I cannot stand sticky lipgloss! Although, it does have a delicious scent that makes me want to eat it! Don't worry though I won't haha (0.33 FL OZ)
Definicils High Definition Mascara in Black. I am a mascara sample hoarder! I prefer sample sized mascara to full sized mascara because I barely ever stick to just one brand so I like to have them in sample sizes so that I do not waste as much when it comes time to throw them out. (0.07 FL OZ)
Genifique Eye Youth Activating Eye Concentrate (0.25 FL OZ) This sample alone is worth $30! 
Genefique Youth Activating Concentrate Serum (0.27 FL OZ)
Bi-Facil Double Action Eye Makeup Remover (1.7 FL OZ) I really like this eye make up remover and have purchased it before so I am happy to have this sample to carry around with me while traveling rather than carrying a full sized one. 
 
And of course the nail polish! Sorry I didn't clean around the nail after I painted them it was late and I was tired. It is a very nice formula though so I do not mind the $15 price tag. It only took one coat to get a perfect shade and it dried practically instantly!
