Eleven Questions From Drunken Beauty:

Q: If you could use/purchase one makeup brand for the rest of your life, what would it be?

A: If I could only buy one brand of makeup for the rest of my life I would pick Urban Decay because I use a lot of their products in my day to day makeup routines.

Q: What is your go to shade of nail polish for spring?
 A: Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet! I love it!

Q: Does cruelty free status impact your decision to buy a product?
A: It does, if I know that a brand is not cruelty free I will not buy from them. Although, I think that I do need to do a bit more research on products and brands before buying.

Q: Are you a cat or dog person? Why?
A: I'm both; I like dogs for the companionship and their loyalty and I love cats because they don't constantly bug you and are more independent.     

Q: What is the last great movie you watched? 
A: Pride and Prejudice; the one with Keira Knightley. I absolutely love that movie! I fall in love with Mr. Darcy every time lol 

Q: Do you prefer red or black licorice?
A: Definitely red!

Q: Tell me about your favorite make up brushes.
A: I actually really like the e.l.f. studio brushes! I love the flat top powder brush and the small stipple brush! For such a cheap price ($3 each) and work remarkably well!

Q: Can you recommend a good eye makeup remover?
A: I actually just got the Skyn Iceland Glacial Cleansing Cloths and they work great at removing eye makeup! Another eye makeup remover I like is Lancome's Bi-Facil Double-action eye makeup remover.

Q: If you could spend a day with one historical person who would it be and why?
A: Hmmmm.... William Shakespeare would be an interesting person to spend a day with. I would love to get writing tips from him lol! Just to be in his presence would be amazing, he is such an amazing writer and I love his work.

Q: What is your favorite summer activity?
A: Exploring the wilderness is a fun summer activity for me; I like to be able to go out and find 'secret spots'.

MARCH GOODIES BOX!

MARCH GOODIES BOX!

Hello everyone! I (finally) received my Goodies box for the month of March. At first I was not very happy about it being so late but I got an email from Goodies yesterday saying that they are sorry for the delay and since my box did not get to me in March that they have given me an extra 150 points on my account! I thought that was pretty awesome of them, especially since they innitiated the points I did not even have to email them asking about where my box was and why it was late. So, because of the points they added to my account my April box will be free! March is my 3rd month with Goodies, I know, I know I have been MIA, and overall I am rather happy with them especially since it is only $7 a month! If you did not know the Goodies box is a food box. 

Now to the box!

The first item in the box is a pack of 4 BelVita Cinnamon Brown Sugar Breakfast Biscuits 

Rickland Orchards Greek Yogurt Bar in Blueberry Acai, 1 bar

Newtons Triple Berry Fig bars, two come in the pack

Jovan's All Natural Instant Breakfast in Creamy Vanilla. I guess you mix this into a glass of milk. 1 serving

1oz jar of Bonne Maman Strawberry Preserves (this jar is so small and adorable!)

Erin Baker's Breakfast Cookie in double chocolate chunk, 1 cookie

Ola! 100% Natural Handbaked Granola 1oz packet

And last but definitely not least, Rip van Wafles Stroopwafles in Caramel , this came with 1 'wafle'

Overall I really enjoyed this box! I only had one item out of the box and that was the Rip van Wafle and it was so DELICIOUS! I have to find these in the store, has anyone seen these in a store before? The only product I won't be eating is the Blueberry bar and that is only because I am allergic to blueberries =/ 

I can't wait until next month's Goodies box, especially since it will be free!!

 

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
