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

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!

August Birchbox!

I finally got off of Birchbox's wait list and received my first box! Honestly I am not thoroughly impressed with this months box but I am sure it will get better! Birchbox is only $10 per month, if you would like to join here is my referral link https://www.birchbox.com?raf=z7bj4

Here is what I got in my box!

I did get another item which was a lifestyle item, a Larabar in Apple Turnover but I barely got it out of the box before my husband shoved it down his throat lol!

I did like the little pamphlet that came with it compared to the regular postcards that come with most boxes.

Beauty Fixation Make-up Remover. This comes with 2 Q-tips with make-up remover on the inside. I am not really super impressed with these because I would rather use a regular Q-tip with water.

Viva La Juicy La Fleur Eau de Toilette Spray.05 FL OZ. I really love this perfume, it has a 'pretty' floral scent that goes really nicely with summer.

Sumita Brow Base Pencil. I haven't used this yet but it is a great size.

The Balm Cosmetics Staniac .04 FL OZ. This is what made the box for me, I have been really wanting to try this and it is actually really great!

Little Black Bag #1

I have joined a new monthly subscription! This one is called 'Little Black Bag' it is a bit more expensive at about $50 + s&h. It is so much fun though! Pretty much you go to their site and fill out a small beauty profile then you can pick one item from their gallery, you can pick anything from handbags, jewelry, make up, candles, home interior, etc. After you pick your main item LBB will give you 2-3 more items that are a secret until you pay for the bag. Once your bag is paid for you get to trade your items with tons of other ladies for 7 days. You can start off with 3 items and end your bag with more than double the amount, it is crazy! Trading is so fun and I have been ADDICTED! I am not a great trader at all but I am happy with my first bag, I ended up with two BCBGeneration clutches.

I am loving both of these bags!

August Myglam Bag!

August Myglam Bag!

Myglam has been having great bags ever since I joined a couple of months ago in June. This is my third bag so far and I have to say that Myglam is my favorite beauty sub I have right now. I love that with every bag I get a new make-up bag that is perfect for my purse because I like to trade them up every now and then. This month was definitely not disappointing with a total 6 items not including the bag!

Like last month the make up bag is a mesh bag! I do like mesh bags because they are nice for taking in the shower or to the beach without having to worry about them getting ruined. Although I am not a big fan of orange but I will still definitely be using this bag.

Inside the bag were 6 amazing products! I am so excited that there were 6 this month, thank you Myglam!!

Andrea's Choice Circus Nail Color in Ringmaster. We actually got one of her polishes last month as well but I love getting polishes so I am happy with this product.

Myglam Glam Gloss in 01. This is actually a really great full size lipgloss, it smells so good, just like watermelon. I haven't been able to tell if it is sticky though because I always wear chapstick under lipgloss and that prevents the sticky feeling on your lips. The color is a really nice baby pink.

S.A.L.T.Y. Cosmetics Loose Luxury Mineral Eye Shadow in Glama-ZOID 1GM. Wow two products that are made just for Myglam, that is pretty awesome. I haven't tried this eyeshadow yet but the color is a pretty glitter white but it is iridescent and turns pink.

Demeter Roll On Perfume Oil in Clean Skin .29 FL Oz. I love getting perfumes! This does have a very nice clean scent, it actually reminds me of baby lotion lol 

Eclos Anti-Aging Regenerative Cream .25 FL OZ. This has a strong scent to it but it does fade after a little bit. I love getting moisturizers because I have such dry skin, with all these beauty subs it seems like I will never have to actually buy one lol!

Eclos Anti-Aging Face Serum .5 FL OZ. I haven't used this, I'm actually going to be giving it to my mom because she really wants to try it!
