Beauty Box 5 - March 2014

Beauty Box 5
Cost: $12/month


My first Beauty Box 5 is finally here!

Swissco Dual Sided Facial Pad  - $2

Achieving softer skin and smaller pores is as easy as exfoliating a few times a week! Just add your favorite cleanser to the pad, gently buff that pretty face and kiss lackluster skin goodbye!

Bellapierre Cosmetics Makeup Base - $18.99 (FULL SIZE!!)

Every girl deserves an all-in-one that hides imperfections and makes her makeup even better. This pretty ivory base is great when you're low on time (or room in your purse) and serves as a concealer, illuminator, and eyeshadow primer!

Jane's Pick All Natural Soap - $8

Get clean without all the chemicals! Made from an all-natural blend infused with herbs and flowers, these pretty soaps are handmade, so each bar has a unique pattern and relaxing scent.

H2O Plus Hand & Nail Cream - $15

Proven to soften even the roughest hands, this award winning lotion is lightweight, non-greasy and restores your skin with silk proteins, Vitamin E and marine botanicals.

Tree Hut Shea Body Butter - $7.49

Treat your body to the best! Extra thick and paraben free, this lotion deep conditions your skin with cocoa and organic shea butter, providing natural anti-aging properties, and puts us in the mood to party with lime and coconut extract.

From their website:

• Certified Organic Shea Butter: skin repairing & moisturizing, anti-aging, promotes elasticity
• Coconut Extract: skin conditioning
• Lime Extract: skin polisher
• Safflower Seed Oil: deep moisturizer
• Cocoa Butter: provides relief for dry or flaky skin, protects skin from irritants
• Paraben Free and No DMDM
• Made in the USA

Verdict: I paid $10 for this box (I got a 3 month subscription, boxes are $12/month if you pay monthly) and got $51.48 worth of product.

PopSugar Must Have
Cost: $39.95/month


It's finally here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 It wasn't supposed to be here until Wednesday, but SURPRISE! It's here!

 Baublebar Elephant Ring Tree - $12

For me, this is one of those things that you don't realize you need until you get one. And now that I have it, it will get lots of use! But I would have never thought to buy one myself.

Materials: Silver-Chrome Plated Cast Metal, Gold-brass
Measurements: 1.75" x 3" x 1.5"

Jurlique Herbal Recovery Advanced Serum - $54

Dogeared Lucky Horseshoe Make A Wish Necklace - $58

Apparently, the idea is that you wear this necklace until the charm falls off and then your wish will come true. $58 for a necklace that is made to fall apart? :/

16" gold filled fine chain

10mm gold dipped horseshoe charm

gold filled spring ring closure

Nature's Bakery All Natural Strawberry Fig Bar

This is basically a Whole Wheat Fig Nuton. 

Harvest Snaps Snapea Crisps

The smooth, mild flavor of the pea is already delicious. So why mess with Mother Nature? We simply sprinkled it with a little salt to bring out the flavor and, voilà! Natural goodness, made great. Perfect for a post-workout snack, lunch side or crunchy topping on a salad, Lightly Salted Snapea Crisps are so simply good, you can eat them with anything, anywhere.

Glossybox - February 2014

I finally got my first Glossybox today. The February 2014 box. Today is March 6th. Their shipping is RIDICULOUS! I am so frustrated with the slow shipping on this box, that I am considering cancelling my subscription after my 3 month sub is over. :/

Let's get started on the box.

Made with 100% natural ingredients and featuring a light cherry blossom scent, this organic tinted lip balm provides a tinge of color while keeping lips moisturized. Petroleum free.

*I used this lip balm one time and I am definitely not a fan! It is not easy to apply (you have to use your finger). It comes out super thick and felt very waxy on my lips.This is going in the gift pile*

This revolutionary lightweight gel is clinically proven to provide 8 hours of incredible long-lasting shine control while giving you that just-applied makeup look. Alcohol and fragrance free, non-comedogenic and non-drying.

Lauren B. Beauty's advanced, quick drying nail enamels deliver a high-shine, chip-resistant, long-lasting finish. City of Angels is a sheer, tender blush pink that flatters all skin tones. Not too saccharine sweet, it's possibly the chicest neutral ever. Each formula is eco - and vegan friendly with no formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, DBP, toluene or camphor, and is proudly made in the USA.

Sumita Beauty Kala Color Intense Pencil - $15.00 (FULL SIZE)

Transform your eyes and add beautiful definition by simply drawing the line. Inspired by the deep pigment of the kajal pencil, this long-wearing liner is ideal for use on the inner water line of your eye, as well as the outer lash.

Kryolan, a trusted brand in the professsional make up sector, has developed an exclusive moisture rich lipstick just for Glossybox. With this "pro" approved lipstick, your lips will feel soft and velvety with a luminous, long-lasting color.


Verdict: I paid $21 for this box and received $112 worth of product, all of which I will use except for the hair treatment (my hair isn't currently color treated, so I will gift this item).
