Beauty Box 5 ~ August 2012

  • Posted on August 22, 2012 at 9:14 PM

 

YAY I got my first Beauty Box 5 today. I only signed up two weeks ago. (I opted for the quarterly plan ~ $30)ย  If that’s how they’re going to be, this is going to be a beautiful relationship! OH and I’m beyond happy with my box. Take a peek!

Ellis Faas Milky Lips shade L206 ~ The FULL-SIZED bullet shaped pen is impressive. You need patience though. It took A LOT of twisting before my gloss appeared. When it did I tried it out and it was creamy, not sticky and the shade actually looked nice. I never would have chosen it otherwise. I never would have tried this brand either. The glaze retails for $35! (there was a coupon for %15 your order if you so choose to purchase more of this product.)

H2O Plus ~ Marine, botanical-infused eye cream to reduce the look of fine lines. YES I need this product! I will be trying it before work tomorrow night. Retail $32

Ferro Cosmetics ~ Sheer Crystal Veil. This is a powder to “dust” over or under foundation for a dewy soft finish. You can also mix it with moisturizer. Not really my thing, but it looks cute. (Also came with a discount coupon.)

 

 

These last two items I know for a fact I will use!

Blum Naturals ~ Make up Remover Towelettes. I got 3.ย  A 10 pk retails for 3.99

Freeman ~ Anti-Stress Mask x 2. A single one retails for 3.99.

So for my first BB5 I am impressed and excited to try ALL the items from my pretty little blue box.

Influenster ~ Latina Vox Box

  • Posted on August 22, 2012 at 8:32 PM

Almost 2 months ago I signed up with a program called Influenster. From their website:

Apply to our trendsetter community and use your influence to qualify for complimentary PRODUCT SHIPMENTS, REWARDS & DEALS fit for your lifestyle. The more active you are, the more perks you get!

I love snail mail boxes, and I am always doing a survey for someone, so I figured why not. I imagined it would be months until I was chosen for a “VoxBox”, but I wasn’t brooding about it. Most programs ask for 100% participation on several occasions before you are up for perks. To my surprise I was chosen a few weeks ago for a Latina VoxBox. It arrived a few days ago. ๐Ÿ™‚

 

I considered doing a video of my box, but I chickened out. I also just returned from a 2week vacation and I’m beat. So for now I’m just going to show you what goodies I got and in a week or so I’ll review the products either in this same format or *gulp* a video.

 

 

 

 

My Latina Beauty VoxBox contains the following:

VEET Ready to Use Wax Strips, Leg & Body $9.99 (Scared to death to try this, but I’ll be a trooper!)

NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine. $ 2.49

NEW Bath and Body Works Shea-Enriched Signature Collection Shower Gel. $5

Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Lotion Sunscreen. $7.99

Always Radiant Infinity Pads. $6.99 (Already use them and love them!)

Always Tampax Radiant Collection sampler (tampons,pads,liners in a cute wristlet)

Sooo roughly $32.46 worth of products.

I’ll update this post when I try EVERYTHING out. ๐Ÿ™‚ BTW Disclosure: The product(s) featured in this post were provided for editorial consideration. Receipt of this product did not guarantee review and all opinions are my own.

Birchbox ~ August 2012

  • Posted on August 22, 2012 at 1:24 AM

So I’m starting to get addicted to this subscription box craze. While I vacation I got my first BirchBox. Prior to signing up I’d read pros and cons of this subscription.ย  I decided to give it a go anyway and like my other scripts there is a 3 strike rule. This month’s box is meh, but not strike worthy.

 

There seem to be monthly themes to these boxes. This month is “Beauty School”. I got a little booklet telling me about all of my products, how to use them and what a full-sized product would cost.

From L to R ~ Juicy Couture’s Viva la Juicy La Fleur. Retail $70

A tiny lip gloss from Jouer. TOTALLY not my color. I don’t do pinks. This will go in a prize bag for sure. Retail $20

A Schick Hydro Silk razor with coupons. I love this razor, I currently use it. Retail not listed, but as a couponer I rarely pay more that $2 for razors. ๐Ÿ™‚

Apothederm Stretch Mark Cream. I can’t wait to see if this works. Retail value is $89.95!

Last goodie is a sample of SHU UEMURA Art of Hair Illuminating Shampoo & Treatment. Shampoo retails for $48 and the treatment goes for $58

So far I’m excited to actually try all the products with the exception of the gloss. I also feel I got my $10 worth. Would you like a box of your own? Visit www.Birchbox.com

Beauty Bar Sample Society ~ August 2012

  • Posted on August 22, 2012 at 12:24 AM

August is my second Sample Society box.It’s way more impressive that my first box. The first thing that caught my eye was the nail polish. It’s a full sized Deborah Lippmann nail color! This color is called Private Dancer. (Purple!!!) This bottle retails for $18. Our box only cost $15. This has more than paid for our boxes this month IMO.

Next is Elementral Herbology ~ Itโ€™s a cool & clear facial cleanser. It’s supposed to stimulate the skin’s metabolism revealing a glowing completion along with other things. This.8oz sample is worth about $18 US.

Phytonectar oil sample ~ This is a Pre-Shampoo Oil Treatment which is supposed to penetrate each strand of hair, and bring damaged, dehydrated hair back to life. At .33 oz this has a sample value of $5.82

Jane Iredale Longest Lash mascara in “Black Ice” ~ This was in a squeeze tube but that is not just the sample size- the full size is also packaged this way. This .1oz Sample is worth $7.86

Acorna Cranberry toner ~ Provides anti aging benefits while it cleanses your skin and protects against free radical damage. This 1oz sample is worth $9.61 (Can’t wait to try this!)

BONUS SAMPLE Malin + Goetz Vitamin e Face Moisturizer packet sample.

The box this month has a value of $59.74!!! Click the banner below to start getting your own box. ๐Ÿ™‚
