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!

ELF COSMETIICS LOTION WIPES

Elf Cosmetics Lotion Wipes


I am so incredibly happy that elf cosmetics came out with these lotion wipes! I have always had dry skin and it made wearing foundation horrible! My face would always look extra flakey after putting on my foundation and even after trying multiple products nothing helped. Well that changed once I purchased the Studio Lotion Wipes in Vanilla & Coconut (Retail $3; 20 wipes). These have helped my dry face so much; I no longer even have dry skin on my face. I use these in the morning before applying my make-up and then I use them at night after I take my make-up off with elf's studio make-up remover pads. I can now say that I no longer have a dry face which makes using foundation so much easier! I have yet to try the other scents, mostly because they are sold out right now. I would recommend these to anyone!! Plus they smell really good!! I also love the packaging, they are easy for travel and small enough to throw into my purse for when I am on the go.

MY ELF COSMETICS COLLECTION
&
FAVORITES!

I have been asked many times by a few different people to do a post on my elf cosmetics collection. Well that day has come and I have taken pictures to show you what I have. I know, I know, I am an elf addict and need to stop buying more products but that didn't stop me from buying a couple things during their 50% site wide sale yesterday! I did not include my brushes, make-up remover pads, lotion pads, or cleaning tools in this. I would also like to let you all know that this is NOT a brag, I have had requests to do this and decided to finally give in. I bought all of these products myself and I am in no way associated with elf, I just love their make-up!
So without further ado here is my collection:
