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) 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. 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. 🙂

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. 🙂 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.

Posted on August 22, 2012 at 4:43 PM

I’m on yet another Smiley360 Mission. This one involves Nectresse Natural No Calorie Sweetener. I was sent a full-sized box along with 20 packets (with coupons) to share with friends. The first 10 who leave a comment will get one. 🙂

As soon as I try Nectresse I will let you know my thoughts on it.

What is Smiley360?

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. 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. 🙂

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 ~ It’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. 🙂
