Sample Society ~ September

  • Posted on September 23, 2012 at 11:58 PM

I am sooo happy with this month’s box! I’m also kind of bummed. WHY? Well I love the products in this box, but full sizes are HELLA expensive for my budget. (You’ll see) I might just have to use the gift code they give us toward a purchase. $15 off of $50 or more. Oh and I can totally rack up 50 fast! GAH!

Here is what I got.

CellCeuticals extremely gentle skin cleanser. YAY I have sensitive skin. BOO full size is $35

Borghese B Gloss. Its a little more brown than in the picture. I love it! Creamy, not sticky and the color actually suites me. 🙂 Full size is $18.50

Stila Smudge Crayon. I’m not full on make-up girl. I like this pen, but I may trade or give it to someone else.  Full size $22

Diptyque Fragrance “Philoskos” I it’s like something I’ve never REALLY smelled before. FIG. I don’t know if I like it or not. I keep sniffing it trying to decide. I’m going to TRY not to like it. Full size is $150!!!!!!! Those exclamations might as well be zeros! 🙁

Ahava Purifying Mud Mask. It smells so clean. It’s to clear so maybe that’s why. I’m hoping it’s not to harsh like most muds are for me. Full size is $30.

All give all my boxes 3 months to wow me.  This one totally wows me so I’m going to keep going for now. 🙂 I also love love love that when you sign up with Beauty Bar (the company that produces this box, along with Allure magazine) to get your box I don’t get points or rewards. Rather they give $30 to many different charities. I chose Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. How cool is that!  To start getting your boxes click on this:

Birch Box ~ September

  • Posted on September 23, 2012 at 11:19 PM

This month’s Birch Box is my second one.  Here is what I got.

boscia soothing cleansing cream.

Benefit Cosmetics The POREfessional. This will be my first time using Benefit so I’m kind of excited. I also have JUMBO pores. 🙁

Color Club Birchbox Custom Polish. It’s hard to see it, but it’s blah. It is this dark steel-grey blue creme color.  It’s not ugly but  it’s not edgy enough to be pretty.  I’m thinking this will be a toes only polish.

Kate Spade New York “Twirl” perfume. I really like it. It’s fresh and clean smelling, not overly flowery.

“twishband” pink (ick) Hair Tie. I have too much hair to even consider trying it. It would surely break!

The “tili” Bags is an extra. I don’t care what it’s called or that it has designs, IT’S. A. BAGGIE. ’nuff said.

So there you go, Birch Box for September.  Not too wowed, but not going to jump right in and try everything right away. If the meh factor continues I will cancel, but for now I’ll keep getting them. OH I almost forgot… The list card gave an address for musician Tristan Prettyman downloads. Free music! I am an MP3 junky! If I don’t like it, at least I didn’t pay for it.

Bulu Box ~ September

  • Posted on September 23, 2012 at 10:45 PM

I got my boxes last week, but didn’t have a computer to post. This month I’m not too impressed with my box, but I’m still happy with Bulu. Here is what I got. BTW sorry for the crappy picture. I used my Instagram with the assistance of 3 cats. They kept bumping me causing the picture to come out shaky. I finally gave up and settled for this one.

The bottle is Athlete Octane Liquid Endurance Shot ~ Astronaut Orange. I don’t like orange flavor so I’ll pass this on to someone else.

Rev Honey (the tube) honey snack for energy. Peach flavor. For not being  big peach fan (yes, I’m picky) it tasted really good. I think it’s too sweet to suck down all at once, but I’m willing to take it to work and see if it gives me enough energy for my 12 hour shift. (It didn’t)

A full bottle (60) Swanson Razberri-K. Since raspberry Ketones are the newest “thing” I’m not surprised to get this. You’re supposed to take two a day with water to curb hunger. I’m on the fence about trying it. I’m going to have to research more.

Eight Ball Neuro Edge. “Gently” mix with water. Hummm ok. Another energy sample. They read my mind. I can ALWAYS use energy boosts.

Hawaiian Coconut Energy ~ wooo more energy samples. I LOVE coconut anything. I’m nervous about trying it though. The first box I got had Green Tea and it make my throat swell. Not shut, but it was still uncomfortable.

So there you go. My Bulu Box for September.

GlossyBox ~ August 2012

  • Posted on August 31, 2012 at 5:51 AM

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.
