I am really starting to fall for this cosmetics line. The prices are amazing, which doesn’t make it easy to ignore. 🙂 What is your favorite e.l.f. product?

GlossyBox ~ August 2012
I got my August GlossyBox today! So far this is my favorite out of all the boxes I subscribe too. It’s just sooo fancy!
So this month’s theme is Pure Luxury. Here is what the card reads:
A balmy summer has come to a close and your body is in need of genuine TLC. Pamper yourself in this month’s GLOSSYBOX by nourishing your body from head to toe with rich, technologically-advanced products infused with vitamins, natural oils and sublime color. The exquisite selection of cosmetics will preserve your sun-kissed beauty, leaving you looking healthy and radiant. As the season comes to an end, wrap yourself in pure luxury.
Here is what I unwrapped.
Biologe ~ EsquisiteOil Replenishing Treatment. It’s a serum infused with Morigna Oil that is supposed to make your hair shine. Oh how my hair is crying for this!
3.1 oz full-sized product retails for $22
Ellis Faas ~ Ellis Faas Lips.
Ok I got this in my Beauty Box 5 and LOVE it. This one, not so much. This one is a glaze and the shade is HORRIBLE! I seriously don’t know a soul that would wear it. It’s oompa loompa orange! I don’t think I could give this away if I paid someone to take it.
0.095 oz retails for $35 (that’s a lot to spend on Halloween make-up)
ILLAMASQUA ~ Nail Varnish “Glory” I am sooooooo happy with this shade and can’t wait to try it. My University’s colors are Maroon and Silver. PERFECT! 🙂 Griz season starts tomorrow! GO GRIZ!
Retails for $14
OLE HENRIKSEN ~ Truth Serum !!! High powered vitamin C to smooth out lines and wrinkles.
1.0 oz Full Size retails for $48
TOUCH In SOL ~ Feel like Honey Moon Skin Base (interesting!) This is a primer that is a honey texure. It firms and revitalizes skin and allows for better makeup application. Aside from the polish, I’m super excited to try this. I’ll keep you posted!
1.13 oz Full Size retails for $20
Super excited to try everything out. I’ll update this post when I do.

*I pay for all of my subscription boxes. All editorials and opinions are 100% mine
Julep Maven ~ Intro Box
I am a Julep Maven! Please don’t confuse that with anything else. 🙂
This subscription service is for nail products based out of Seattle, WA. www.Julep.com
My box contained the them for “American Beauty” based on my quiz answers. I got a cute little bag, perfect for stashing your polishes. I also got two bottles of color Emma and Renee and a bottle of Pedi Cream. ALL FOR A PENNY. The bottles retail for $20 each.
Julep says: The Best Pedi Creme Ever! Exfoliates with alpha hydroxy acids, hydrates with shea butter and coconut oil, nourishes with vitamin E. Apply nightly for noticeable results in just 1 to 2 uses.
Julep says: Renee is a spring lilac creme. Surprisingly ladylike.
Julep says: Emma, American Beauty: Soft and feminine seashell pink shimmer. (More of a creamy shimmer, doesn’t appear pink to me at all, so sayith me.)
Here is a breakdown of the program:
As a Julep Maven, your monthly subscription of just $19.99 delivers exclusive access to at least $40 worth of products handpicked to suit your fresh, elegant, all-American style.Be the first to try our new nail colors and beauty products.Have the option to choose a different style profile (and it’s colors) monthly & get 20% off all products in the Maven Boutique. OH and FREE shipping.
So click HERE and start your membership today! BTW I am open to trading polishes/product if you are a different “style” and get a color you don’t like. Wouldn’t that be fun?!

Beauty Box 5 ~ August 2012
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
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.

Birchbox ~ August 2012
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
