BoxyCharm- April 2014

I hope you live in a part of the world where the weather is as beautiful as it is here in Charleston, SC! I am not sure where BoxyCharm is located but they must being having some great weather because the theme of this month's box is "Strike A Pose". They want you to use the items in this month's box to go out on the town and strike a pose!


This is a very colorful mix of items that are perfect for Spring. Most of them are not quite my style but I have some friends that are more colorful than I am. I like to stick to more neutral colors. BoxyCharm gives you 5 full size items each month and this month is a great mix.


ModelCo- This is a great blush color to add a little bit of rosy color to your cheeks. Retail Value- $18

                 This lip liner pencil is not my color but I have a friend that will love it. The best part is that it has a                  build in sharpener on the lid! Retail Value- $20


Coolway- This is kind of hard to see in the picture but this is a finishing oil. It will help give your hair a beautiful shiny look throughout the day. Retail Value- $29.95

Ofra-  Ofra cosmetics are amazing and I am sure this liquid lipstick is not any different. Retail Value- $19.90

bellapierre- This nail color is a great shade of purple. Retail Value- $15.00

This is a value that is not seen in many boxes. The value is $102.85! The box only costs $21 with free shipping!

Thierry Mugler- March 2014

I stumbled upon a new subscription service a few weeks ago and thought I would give it a try. It is called Thierry Mugler and you get a box of perfume samples and deluxe samples each quarter. The cost is $50 a year and you also get a personal shopping concierge to help you with fragrance purchases from their website. All of the fragrances are designed and made by Thierry Mugler.


So I am going to work these posts a little bit different. I am going to share the info about each fragrance and not try to price them out. Each box is $12.50 and that is a great price for new fragrances.


A*MEN- A*MEN, Thierry Mugler's first masculine fragrance for the adventurous, confident and distinctive man! The fiery woody fragrance will make up the superhero in you!

ANGEL Perfuming Hair Mist- The first hair fragrance, ANGEL Perfuming Hair Mist is a fresh, featherlight mist that coats hair with fragrant sensual ANGEL notes.

ANGEL Eau de Parfum- Crystallizing her dreams, ANGEL is a fragrance for the woman who is half-angelic, and half-devilish. Captured in a faceted gem sculpted like a diamond star, ANGEL is the ultimate secret of absolute seduction.

ALIEN Essence Absolue Eau de Parfum- A divine nectar in an everlasting drop of gold...ALIEN Essence Absolue is a modern and decadent interpretation of ALIEN to indulge the solar goddess in every woman...

ANGEL Eau de Toilette (deluxe size)- The exquisite ANGEL Eau de Toilette reveals a new dream. The uniqueness of ANGEL was reinterpreted with respect to its original and unique oriental-gourmand heart, bringing to life an addictive scent with the same carnal sensuality, yet more subtly provocative, rounded and finely nuanced.

There is also a bonus coin purse!

Beauty Box 5 - March 2014

I am pretty sure I am a little addicted because I added Beauty Box 5 back to my list of monthly subscriptions. I just love getting those boxes in the mail each month and Beauty Box 5 is a great box!



Here is the description from their website: Every month we'll send you a mix of makeup, beauty accessories, hair, skincare, fragrance, body, and nail products and we can't get enough of. Our secret? We share products that really work, so you'll receive luxury, drugstore, niche, eco-conscious, and even vegan brands.
Whether you're a cosmetic newbie or a beauty guru, identify yourself as adventurous and playful or classy and mature, like to splurge on high-end items or be a savvy spender, we have everything you're looking for.


The theme for this month is Spring Cleaning. The enclosure card says: This month we're making moves and making room by throwing out the make up we never use, putting a stop to bad habits, and focusing on our top beauty goal: clean, gorgeous skin.


Jane's Pick- This sliver of all natural soap is "purity" which is made of lavender and peppermint. Retail Value- $1

Tree Hut- I am a sucker for a good body butter. I think they work so much better than a typical lotion. The coconut lime scent makes me feel like I am on a beach in Hawaii. Retail Value- $2

H2O+- This hand and nail cream richly moisturizes and protects hands from all mother nature has to throw at them. Retail Value- $2


Swissco- This facial pad cleans with two different sides. A soft terry side for cleaning and a natural loofah for exfoliating. Retail Value- $2

Bellapierre-  This make up base can be used as a concealer, illuminator and an eyeshadow primer. Retail Value- $18.99

This was a great month to start Beauty Box 5 back up! The value of this box is $25.99. That is a great deal for the $12 price tag. Plus you get free shipping!

BoxyCharm - March 2014

It is very apparent here in Charleston, SC that Spring is in the air. My blue car is green from the Spring addition of yellow pollen. But that also means that it is time to bust out the spring clothes and change those toes to a fun pink color!


It is Spring time at BoxyCharm as well so they sent a box of Spring must haves to get you out of the snow and onto the beach. I am a big fan of the collection of items they sent out this month! And as a bonus everything is full size!


Model Co- I love that this Party Proof lipstick has a mirror on the side of the cap (not pictured) but this is not really my color. Retail Value- $17

bellapierre- I love using a make up primer for my face so I am ready to try this make up primer for your eyes. It will also give your shimmery powders to a matte finish which is perfect cause I am not really a shimmer kind of girl. Retail Value- $18.99


bellapierre- This color of shimmer powder for your eyes is a great color for Spring. Add on top of the make up base and it will take on a matte look. Retail Value- $14.99

Total Beauty Collection- Red Carpet Ready

I hope everyone is enjoying the face lift that my blog received over the weekend. I have been receiving all these beauty products for a few years and since I have been using them to make myself more beautiful I thought my blog needed to be more beautiful too. I hope now it is "Red Carpet Ready" like the newest collection from Total Beauty. This collection was launched in honor of the Oscar's Award Show and I love the products that they chose. 
 


Sheswai- This color of nail polish is a little dark for my taste but I am sure I have a friend that will love it. The nail polish is dbp free, formaldehyde free, toluene free and the cap is made from wood to reduce the use of plastic. There is a bonus offer of 30% off purchase from Sheswai Beauty. Retail Value- $16

Manna Kadar- This lotion has a beautiful shimmer that will leave your body with a glow. There is a bonus offer of 20% off purchase from Manna Kadar Cosmetics. Retail Value- $8

Pur-lisse- I am very excited to try this Pur-delicate gentle soy milk cleanser and makeup remover. Retail Value- $12.65

Starlooks- February 2014

Good morning to all my blog readers!

There are a lot of monthly subscription boxes that I feel give the impression of being about make up but then when the box actually arrives it is full of hair care, skin care and a tiny bit of make up. But that is why I love Starlooks! They are a cosmetic company that has a subscription box of just their make up products. FYI...I tried to get Burts Bees to do a monthly box and they turned me down. That is just a side note that has nothing to do with the current subscription box but I thought I would share.


Cream Eyeshadow- This is a pretty lavender color called "Phaser" but I can't seem to find it on the website. Maybe it is a Starlooks box exclusive! Retail Value- $14 (guess based on other products)

Pigment- This pigment can be used as eye shadow or mixed with lip gloss for an added dimension. The possibilities are endless! Retail Value- $17

Lipstick- I think Starlooks lipsticks last a long time and their colors are so pretty. Retail Value- $12

Band- This is a soft headband to keep your hair out of your face as you wash it or just to wear out. This is a bonus item!

Starlooks makes such a great product and I love getting my Starlooks Box each month. The value of this month's box is $43. That is a great deal for the $18 (box plus shipping) price tag!

Taste Guru- February 2014

I found a deal online for Taste Guru and decided to give it a chance. Taste Guru is a monthly subscription box that delivers gluten free food items to your door each month. I do not normally eat gluten free but it never hurts to eat healthier.

 
 
As a whole I thought it was a good mix of items. I have to be honest that I have not tried any of the items yet but I am going to over the next week or so. I am very interested in trying the gluten free pasta.
 

Dr. McDougall's- These are two soups (Pad Thai and Tortilla with baked chips) that a vegan, gluten free, BPA free and low fat. Retail Value- $3.00

Rocky Mountain Popcorn Company- Poplets! So basically Poplets are baked corn nuts. I am a big fan of corn nuts so I am hoping these are just as good. They are gluten free, nut free, Non-GMO and natural. Retail Value- $1


Straw Propeller Gourmet Foods- This hot oatmeal apple crisp is loaded with apples, walnuts and white chocolate chips. Retail Value- $2.50

Snapz- I love fruit and I love dried fruit so I am excited about these dried apple crisps. They are nut free, gluten free, 100% natural and fat free. Retail Value- $1.50

Snikiddy- These look like tortilla chips but made out of vegetables. They have a full serving of veggies in one ounce. Plus they are gluten free, vegan, 100% natural, kosher and Non-GMO. Retail Value- $1

Viviana- I love that the pasta came with a Pesto Linguini recipe. I am not a big fan of pesto but my husband is so I will make it for him. This pasta is dairy free, nut free, gluten free and vegan. Retail Value- $6.99

The cost of this box for a 3 month subscription is $34 a month. The cost goes down if you buy a longer subscription. The value of this box is $16. That is not a good value at all dollar for dollar but it is still a great way to try new foods in the gluten free marketplace.

Birchbox- Finds Box

Don't get me wrong...I like Birchbox. But I feel like they are going to such high end samples that I am never going to buy. I like to get samples of products that I am actually going to spend money on if I like it. I am not going to go spend $100 on a small container of moisturizer so I was very happy to see Birchbox come out with this box. The Birchbox Finds box is full of "drug store" favorites.


I thought all these products were ones that I could use on a daily basis. I like getting the different brands to try but I like the trustee old favorites too!
 

Biore- This is a 4 pack of single use self heating one minute face masks with natural charcoal. Retail Value- $7.99

Sally Hansen- I think this color is too light for me but I am sure I have a friend that will like it. It is a base coat, top coat and color gel polish in one that will last for 10 days. Retail Value- $7.99

Covergirl- I am always a sucker for a good mascara! The wand is double sided to give you intensity and volume that is designed for big sexy bombshell eyes. Retail Value- $11.99



Nivea- This lip care has a moisture strip in the center and color on the outside to give you a beautiful moisturized look. Retail Value- $4.99

John Frieda-  I am hoping this frizz ease product that is full of argan oil will not leave my hair greasy like the bottle says. It is designed to leave your hair soft, smooth and shiny. Retail Value- $9.99

Covergirl- I am not usually a fan of eye shadow I have to put on with my fingers but I am going to give this one a shot because it says it lasts for 12 hours. Retail Value- $6

Rimmel London- This lip gloss lasts for 6 hours and gives you a 3-D effect. I love the color is called "Popcorn for 2". Retail Value- $4.99


Some of these colors are not quite for me but overall I thought this box was a great collection. IT had a great mix of hair care, skin care and make up. I think that is something that Birchbox has been missing for a long time.
 
The value of this box is just over $50. That is a great deal for the $18 price tag. There are still plenty left so go to Birchbox and get yours today!

Birchbox- February 2014

I have never been one of those girls that hates Valentine's Day. If I did not have a boyfriend then I just let the holiday pass without a fuss. And that has seemed to be the universal theme for beauty subscription boxes this month. I am so glad to announce that Birchbox is different. They sent out a red carpet worthy box with the theme of "Step and Repeat" in honor of the award show season!


I am not one to watch the award shows...any of them but I can appreciate the beauty that goes into those nights. The make up and wardrobes are amazing. Hopefully some of these items will help me look like one of those stars (lol).


Juicy Couture- I usually take these perfume samples and put them in my travel bag. But I loved this one so much I bought the rollerball size! Retail Value- $1

Ruby Wing- This nail polish changes from bright pink to red when you go outside in the sunlight! Retail Value- $5

Beauty Protector- This oil helps protect your hair against UV rays and heat. Retail Value- $2


Dr. Brandt- I am excited to try this product because I have oily skin. It is a mattifying pore refiner. It can be worn over or under make up. Retail Value- $8

Thomas P. Connelly DDS- These packets are breath fresheners called 32 Oral Care. You take the little crystals (they come in a variety of flavors) and swish them in your mouth and against your teeth and you get fresh breath. Retail Value- $1

The value of this month's box is 17. That is good for the $10 price tag plus you get free shipping!

Ipsy's My Glam Bag- February 2014

It is almost Spring here in Charleston, SC and I think this bag from Ipsy's My Glam Bag is full of must have items for Spring. The colors are nice and bright and I feel ready for the 80 degree weather!


Even the bag screams "Bring on the warm weather!". Plus as a bonus it is almost all makeup and only 1 hair care item. I am not sure about you guys but I feel like other boxes are becoming less and less make up and more about other things like skin care, hair care, etc. This is why I love Ipsy and other more make up oriented boxes.


Tini Beauty- This is the first item I have seen from this company that is not nail polish and I am excited about it. It is an eye shadow and base in one. I am not too thrilled about the color but I am excited about the product. Bonus Offer- 50% off any purchase plus a free nail polish. Retail Value- $18

Zoya- I have to say that I am not one to wear shades of nail polish except for pinks but I do love that this lavender is a great shade for Spring. Bonus Offer- Buy 2 nail polishes and get 1 free plus a free nail polish remover. Retail Value- $9


Pop Beauty- This is a lip plumper and lip gloss in one. It is a mini size and fits great in my front pocket! Bonus Offer- 25% off any purchase. Retail Value- $8

City Color Beauty- This blush is a nice fun bright color and is cruelty free! Bonus Offer- 20% off any purchase. Retail Value- $3

NuMe- My hair is very think and usually gets very oily when I try to use a lot of product on it but I am a huge fan of NuMe products and I can't wait to try this hair mask. Bonus Offer- 50% off plus free shipping and free classic curling wand. Retail Value- $4

Do you feel ready for Spring after this bag? I hope you do! The value for the month is $42. That is a great deal for the $10 price tag. And the bonus offers are amazing this month!

BoxyCharm- February 2014

This is collection from BoxyCharm is a perfect representation for Valentine's Day. The theme is "Sweetest Box" and I think everything in it is so sweet. It is everything you need to get gussied up and have a fabulous night on the town with your sweetheart or the girls!


I love that the box came with red, pink and white crinkly paper and wrapped up with the XOXO heart. I felt like it was a little gift from someone special. And it was filled with lots of great cosmetics!


Eyelashi- I am a HUGE fan of false eyelashes and I am hoping this pair does not disappoint me. They are hand tied! Retail Value- $9

NARS- This nail polish looks black in the picture but it is a dark purple. I am not sure this is a shade I am excited about getting when it is almost Spring outside. I guess I will save it for the fall. Retail Value- $ 19

Mirabella- This is a creamy lip pencil with a flawless satin finish. Retail Value- $23


Mirabella- This eye definer pencil is top quality but the gold color is not my style. Retail Value- $19

Pandora's Makeup Box- This blush is called Pout and is a soft coral. Retail Value- $16

I liked that this box had a little bit of everything. It had eyes, lips and nails! This monthly box is such a good value at $21. The value of this months box is $86!

Starlook- January 2014

It has been a while since I received Starlooks Box and that is just what unemployment will do to your subscription services. But I am proud to say I am employed again so the first thing I did was sign back up for Starlooks. For those of you who have never heard of Starlooks then you are really missing out. 

 
Starlooks is a private make up company that has a monthly subscription box. You receive 3-4 full size products from their brand. Oh and it is almost all make up. I don't recall ever getting anything else but I am not going to rule it out.



 
 I want to share with you what is written on the insert in the box this month because I just love it...

Time to drink a cup of kindness for Auid Lang Syne and start a'new - with a fresh body, a fresh mind, and a fresh face. This month is a very special one, as we all have the opportunity to take a deep look into ourselves, say farewell to the things we want to change, and welcome our new transformations and goals. STARLOOKS encouranges you to add out motto (and this month's STARLOOKS theme) to your list of resolutions this January:
Surprise Yourself!
Don't hit the snooze button. Wake up in time to enjoy a cup o' joe. Take a moment to notice what a beautiful winter day it is outside. Take the time to make yourself look and feel just as gorgeous on the outside as you are on the inside. But before you head out to start your day, try that new, unused eye shadow, lipstick, liner, or piece of make up you never thought you could pull off, and watch the heads turn and the compliments flow...you won't regret it, we promise. XOXO - STARLOOKS


Infinite Lipstick (product on left)- This is such a pretty color and I love that it is a long lasting lipstick. This color is Eons- Matte. Retail Value- $15

Tender Gloss Lipstick- This is a lipstick and lip gloss all in one product. It has the base and lasting ability of lipstick but the shine of lip gloss. This color is Puzzy- Satin. Retail Value- $13


Infinity Lipstick- This is another long lasting lipstick. This color is Endless- Satin. Retail Value- $15

Infinity Eye Liner- I am not a genius at gel eyeliner but now I have more to practice with so I can get good.  This is a beautiful blue color called Orion- Matte. Retail Value- $13

They sent a bonus item that is an eyelash separator or an eye brow comb. You can use it for whatever you need.

The value of this box is $56! That is a great deal for the $15 (plus just under $3 for shipping) price tag. I am so glad to be getting an all make up box again!

Do you get Starlooks? If so, what do you love/not love about it?

Birchbox- January 2014

It's Go Time! That is the theme of the first Birchbox of the new year.  Time to get going and make something amazing from 2014!



I have been unsure about Birchbox for the last 6 months or so because I have not been too happy about the lack of make up in the boxes. It is a new year and a new attitude. Maybe I was thinking about Birchbox as a make up collection and it really isn't. And they don't advertise as one so I have been thinking about it all wrong. This is a lifestyle box and they do that well!


Fekkai- I love travel shampoo and conditioners and I love Fekkai products so this is perfect! It is going straight into my travel bag for this weekend. Retail Value (both)- $10

Coastal Scents- I am not a huge fan of this brand but I love the colors. Retail Value- $5



Harvey Prince-  I like this scent called Journey. It makes me want to go on a far away vacation! Retail Value- $1

Burt's Bees- I am a huge fan of this brand so I was ecstatic to see this day lotion in the box. This will be a perfect thing to put in my purse. Retail Value- $2

I love this collection with my new outlook on Birchbox. The value of this box is $18. Not the best value I have seen but it is more than the $10 price tag so that is good.

Do you get Birchbox? If so, what do you love/not love about it?

Ipsy's My Glam Bag- January 2014

So it is a new year and I am excited to see what Ipsy has in store for us this year. One of the things that I love about Ipsy is the bonus offers that come in with each brand. They do not sell any of their products in the bag on their website so this is a great way to get more of what you love with a great deal. They do have a point system and you earn points by referring friends to the subscription.


I have to admit that I love getting my items in a bag each month instead of a box I just throw away but I am getting a little stockpile of them and not sure what to do with them.  I have given a ton away but I still have more. I guess there are worse problems to have in life!


A! Absolute- I am very excited about these cucumber extract make up cleaning clothes in a to go package. Bonus Offer- 30% off any purchase. Retail Offer- $2.49

Mica Beauty Cosmetics- I am leaving to go on a trip today and grabbing my new tinted lip gloss in fiesta color for my to go bag. Bonus Offer- 45% off any purchase. Retail Value- $20

Lee Anni- This is a 3 in 1 Revolution that is a toner, serum and moisturizer in one. Bonus Offer- 15% off any purchase. Retail Value- $5


Sexy Hair- I am a big fan of Sexy Hair products so I am excited to try this leave in conditioner. I find it very hard to find a reasonably priced leave in conditioner that is good and doesn't leave my hair greasy. Bonus Offer- $5 off a $25 purchase. Retail Value- $3.50

Elizabeth Mott- I have never used an eye pencil and this is not exactly a color I would buy but I am going to give it a try. I love that it is so creamy! Bonus Offer- Free black pencil with every item purchased. Retail Value- $6

This month was a great mix of items to start off the new year. The value is $36.99 and that is great for the $10 price tag.

Boxy Charm- January 2014

Cheers to a New Year! That is the theme to the first Boxy Charm box of 2014 and I am very excited to get this year going. I have a feeling this is going to be a good year and Boxy Charm is here to make sure you start off 2014 looking your best.


I was glad to see that I get to start the new year with a little love from Be A Bombshell cosmetics as well as some brands I am not familiar with as much as others. This is the year to make the best choices for your subscription boxes and if you are not getting Boxy Charm I think you need to add it to your collection for this year!


Model Co- I am not that great at gel eyeliners but this one comes with a built in brush so that should make it super easy for someone like me. Retail Value- $22

Reveille and Reveille- This body polish is made from brown sugar and sold on Etsy. I love that is comes from an Etsy shop. Retail Value- $16.75
