Ipsy Glam Bag June 2018

Hello Dolls!  Its Ipsy time and this month was a fun one. Previous biases were pushed aside in favor of new experiences.  Boundaries were pushed and beauty prevailed! Okay, that was a little much but you get the idea. 

This months bag was colorful and fun inside and out.

Red Tri Colored Makeup Bag

Blue? Hmm...

Steve Laurant Eyeshadow in Blueberry: I've never been a huge fan of blue eyeshadow. In fact I've been a huge believer that it should have stayed in the 80's and 90's where it belonged. Since dyeing my hair blue I have found a new set of feelings towards blue eyeshadow. It's fun for under the lid or as a pop of color over a traditional black wing eyeliner. This isn't an overpowering blue but my goodness does it have some pigment. 

Liquid Eyeliner? Yes Please!

Jonteblu Felt Tip Eyeliner Pencil in Black: I love me a good black eyeliner and currently have at least 3 in different makeup bags in purses and in my vanity. I haven't opened this one yet for that reason but I'm still very happy to have one for when those run out.

Baby Brush

Luxie Beauty 245 Small Shader Eye Brush: I'm not the kind of person who spends money on brushes or beauty blenders (knock offs are better in some cases) so I love getting brushes in beauty bags. It's pretty small but very soft which is always a plus in my book.

Oh, It's you again

Cotz Natural Tinted Face SPF 40: I've gotten this in beauty subscription boxes before and I never used it. I was concerned it would be too dark on my face or that it would make me break out or something ridiculous. This time I think I will give it a chance though. It swatched out without any noticeable color and will be nice for days out on the boat.

Hello Old Friends

The Saem Natural Acai Berry Sheet Mask and Natural-tox Apple Sheet Mask: Sheet masks and I have a long history together. I buy them or get them in boxes, say I'm going to use them, and then NEVER DO. I mean ever. I mean I still have some from a year ago I haven't used. I swore I would change my ways and break out of my comfort zone and I'm not mad about it. I tried the berry one earlier today and was pleasantly surprised how much it smelled like a blue icee. I will be gifting the apple one because I don't really like apple scented things.

Overall I like the bag. I will use everything I got (sans the apple mask) and am giving some old hang ups a new chance in my routine.

I rate this bag with an A

Birchbox September 2015

The Main Box 

Helmut Lang Curion: This smells like EVERY SINGLE DEPARTMENT STORE EVER. It smells good, don't get me wrong, but it leaves me with a headache and a need to check my bank account to make sure I still have money.

Tocca Esfoliante da corpo: At first I thought this was a hand cream and I was kind of disappointed. But it's a face scrub so I'm still kind of disappointed because I don't use scrubs.

100% Pure Organic Coffee Bean Caffeine Eye Cream: Dun Dun Duuuuuuuun. The one thing I should be doing that I just never do in my routine. Hopefully if I leave this on my desk I'll actually use it. Otherwise it goes into the graveyard and never gets seen again.

ModelCo Ultra Long Lasting Lipstick in Smitten: They should have just called this marsala. It's gorgeous and smells like vanilla and I really want a reason to wear this.

Rene Furterer ABSOLUE KERATINE Sublime Renewal Leave in Cream: Yay! This will come in handy. I've been abusing my hair lately and it needs the kind of pick me up only a leave in conditioner can give.

 (I already broke this lipstick so that's why I didn't show the bullet to you guys. I cut a huge chunk out with the cap when I opened it.) This is Smitten AKA Marsala AKA needs to be on my lips ASAP.

 The Extras

bbrowbar Highlighter: This is GORGEOUS. It's the perfect shimmery, easy to apply, lasts forever kind of product I adore. It's a brow product but it's so pretty it's also an inner corner product.

Peripera Peri's Tint Water: This stuff is potent. It stains in seconds and just blends out instantly like a little watery paint. I have no idea where to use this and if I'll use it. But it's cute!

Swatches!

I am really loving the upgraded Birchbox. The full sized items are things I would never buy for myself but am super glad to have. The contents of this month's box were absolutely amazing as well.  Will next month be fall themed? Maybe.... purple things?

Ipsy Glam Bag September 2015

 Ipsy this may just be my favorite bag design yet!

Ipsy is one of my favorite monthly bags.  It always has a grab bag feel and I have never went a month without making one product a permanent in my stash.

NAOBAY Oxegenating Cream: Yet another moisturizer that will soon find itself in the hand cream pile.  The smell is inoffensive and citrusy and I like the idea that it's Eco Certified, but I just have too many face creams in my collection to try out before this.  Anything scented on my face tends to be a no go anyways but as a hand cream I think it will work just fine.

NYX Eyeshadow Trio in IPSYNYX01: Love the name guys.  Very clever. Love the shadows guys. Very nice.  Your trio's tend to be the ones I like more than your pallets when it comes to eyeshadows and this has the PERFECT colors for me.  In fact, it's a culmination of the only 3 colors I wear on a daily basis.  Good job Ipsy!

Vasanti BrightenUp! Enzymatic Face Rejuvinator: I already have this and have used this many a time when I want to manually exfoliate my face.  I'm happy to have another so that I can use the other one up and not feel so guilty.

J. Cat Beauty #MOTD Waterproof Slide on Pencil in Bronze: I swatched this on my hand as soon as I saw it and it was still there the next day.  It takes some serious scrubbing to get this baby off your skin.  Which of course means it's perfect for me and my smudgy eye area. Bring on the Bronze!

Formula X Nail Polish in Ignite: I put this on my nails the same night I got it and I am in love.  The perfect red shade that looks like a candy apple without the mess. The size, while very small, is perfect for someone like me who doesn't switch up her polish often and has a whole bunch of polishes cluttering up her space.

Overall: A
I loved the products, found three I will be obsessing over this fall, and two I can make work in my routines.  The only reason it's not a plus you ask? Aw what the heck. Here's your +.

Birchbox: June

I haven't done one of these babies in a while, so forgive me if I'm a little sloppy.

All the things

L. Erickson Grab & Go Pony Holder: Soft, pretty, stretchy.  The only hang up is that it will slip out of my hair like a knife through butter.  But it's a great looking bracelet!

Templespa In Good Condition Hair Conditioner: I wish I needed another conditioner but I really don't.  This will end up being my backup if my big bottle of conditioner runs out, but other than that I don't need anything else added to y hair routine right now.  Otherwise it smells good so it's got that going for it.

Templespa Good Hair Day Shampoo: It says it's best for daily use but I don't wash my hair daily. I'm worried it won't actually clean my hair (you know with the whole "safe for daily use" thing, but it smells good like the conditioner.  I still don't have a need for any more shampoo but this is in line for a backup if mine runs out soon.

Paulas Choice Skin Perfecting 8% AHA Gel Exfoliant: Love her products, love this brand, can't wait to try this! I'm suffering from some pretty messed up skin right now so this is a blessing.

Coola SPF 50 Sport in Mango: So upset it's mango (I'm hella alergic). This will be a giveaway.

Marcelle Waterproof Eye Pencil: Blue eye pencils make me a little annoyed, kind of like pink nail polish.  Get more creative with your colors.  My "pop of color" is not blue, it's green or purple or maybe even yellow.  Other than it being a color I'm not super happy with it's still very pretty and perfect for my mother and her blue eyes.

Overall I am happy but not ecstatic about what I received.  The quality of products has definitely increased with the time I've been subscribed to Birchbox, and I understand the need to please everyone, but I would love to see more makeup. 

Birchbox November 2014

Birchbox is hitting it out of the park this month with it's subscription boxes.  There maaaay have been quite a few pig squeals happening when this box was opened.

All the things.  All the beautiful things.

Not Soap Radio Lemon Body Wash-  This smells like lemon candies and makes me one very happy little lady.  This will be perfect for this summer on a lazy day.  Who doesn't want to smell like candies?

Folle de Joie Perfume-  This smells like spring to me.  Fresh, happy, and lovely.  I'm still stuck in my musky winter manly scents but come spring I will definitely break this baby out.

Color Therapy Styling Oil-  I am always looking for the next best hair product.  I love that it works with colored hair, it's a light oil, and it doesn't have an offensive smell.  As soon as this winter static stops plaguing my hair I will definitely be trying this.

The Balm Mary Lou Manizer- This rose gold highlighter is not only adorably packaged but also one amazing product.  It's a "lit from within" kind of shine and it goes perfectly over any color blush.

Eslor Firming Day Cream-  This smells JUST like you would expect a facial cream you find in your grandmothers makeup drawer.  For that reason and that reason only I will not be using this.  It will be going to my mom.  Maybe she can stand the smell.

The one thing I didn't individually photograph were the coconut chips.  They were really good, as I find most coconut chips are, but they made me horribly sick.  I don't think it is a flawed product, I just think I can't eat coconut like that anymore.

I absolutely loved this whole box.  It gets an A from me.  Even with the smelly lotion I still loved everything enough to give it high marks.  

Are you subscribed to Birchbox yet?  You should be!

Blush Mystery Beauty Box November 2014

Everyone ready for the glory that was this month's Blush Beauty Box??

I know I am!

 Look at that haul!  It really is the month of giving isn't it?

Nuxe Purifying Mask-  I really needed a good face mask in my life and this is just what the doctor ordered.  It has a non offensive smell, and promises to clear out the mess that is my face right now.  To add to the glory that is this face mask?  It's French.  Nuff said.

Traditions by Nick Chavez Prickly Pear Restoring Mist-  It claims to liven up sad and depressed hair, which I must admit mine is this time of the year.  I'm not too intrigued with the word prickly being one of the ingredients, but momma always said never judge a book by its cover, or title, or something along those lines.

Lauren B Beauty Nourishing Hand Cream-  I am not usually a fan of gardenia/peony/supercrazyfloral scents but this is amazing.  It smells diving, works like a dream, and will be put smack dab in the middle of my hand cream rotation this winter.

Julien Farel A2B Technology Anti Aging Hair Treatment-  Now I already have one of these in my shower for curly/frizzy hair that I received a few months ago in a Blush box and I love it.  It really turned around how my hair behaves and made my new growth so much healthier than it used to be.  Now I still have grays popping up all over the place so it won't stop those babies from taking over your life, but it will make them smooth silky and loveable.

Jane Iredale Eye Gloss in Aqua Silk- The only disappointment in the whole box was this baby right here.  You either got pink or blue and I got blue, which is honestly a color I will never wear more than once a year if that.Under the eyes, yes, but as a whole lid shadow? Nope.  This will be a gift to my momma for sure.

Miracle Skin Transformer Face Spotlight-  I never like this line when I receive it in a box but this might be different.  Its an illuminator which will be amazing for my dry winter skin.  

Skin Medica TNS Eye Repair-  I am always intrigued at eye serums, and use one almost every day, so this is a welcome member to my little eye cream family.  I've sneakily used this once and woke up with a bright happy under eye area so I can only expect good things from this in the future.

Cool Lids Eyeshadow in Silver Sands-  I have this, I love it, end of story.  If you are looking for a taupey silver eyeshadow that wont wander look no further than this little tube.

I am super happy about this month's Blush Box. I love almost everything and got so many cool little products to keep me happy all month long.  I give this box an A+ and hope next month keeps up with the momentum this box started.

Ipsy Glam Bag October 2014

Even though Ipsy hasn't been blowing me away lately,  I can say this month's bag gave me some new favorite products.

Figs & Rouge Mango Mandarin Hand Cream-  It smells just like you would expect it to.  I was a little wary because I'm allergic to mangoes, but with no mango/mango derivatives in the ingredient list I quickly got over my fears and fell a little in love.  I did have a hell of a time opening this though so that was disappointing, but otherwise I love the packaging.  It reminds me of a circus in the 1900's mixed with the colors you would expect to find at a yacht club.

NYC Big Curl Mascara-  I am currently drooling big time over this mascara.  No flakes, the biggest bushiest wand you ever did see, and black as I don't even know what.  This stuff may not curl your lashes, but it separates them and makes them look super full which is fine by me,

H2O Face Oasis Hydrating Lotion-  I love H2O products. They all have this really clean, wet, calming smell.  I always find H2O to be gentle on my skin and perfect for when I just feel like I want to have a spa like experience without the heaviness of the products.  I think I will enjoy this.

Starlooks Lip Gloss in Guilty Pleasure-  It's the PERFECT shade for my lips. It's creamy and shiny and makes my lips look even and happy.  Huuuge winner in my book.  I may even have to consider purchasing a full size someday.

Skyn Iceland Facial Wipes-  The smell of these really turns me off using them. They are super effective, but the smell combined with how harsh the cloth is makes these the only item in the box I can officially say I wish I never received.

Overall I give this box an A.  I liked everything but the wipes, found two things I love and two things I like.  I was going to drop the grade to a B but I feel like the two products I love balance out my disappointment in the wipes.

How did you feel about this month's Ipsy Glam Bag?  Are you subscribed yet?

Birchbox October 2014

Birchbox has really stepped up their game lately.  If the past few month's didn't make me realize that, this box surely did.

And The Angels Sang

Paula's Choice Skin Balancing Antioxidant Serum-  I love Paula's Choice.  I just started seeing a change in my skin and adding something like this to my regimen can only  be a positive thing.

Essential Elements Shower Gel-  This smells really fresh and the bottle is to die for cute. If all of my gels and potions and lotions came in bottles like these I would absolutely love it. This is the perfect size to travel, or when I'm feeling like a change of pace.

Dr. Brandt Vacuum Cleaner-  The name sounds extremely unappealing but the principle is intriguing.  I have a killer case of blackheads on my nose and chin and have tried a bunch of stuff to get rid of them.  Fingers crossed this will do the trick!

Lord and Berry Sparkle Eye Pencil-  I don't really like eyeliner so adding eye irritating sparkles into it makes me wary to say the least.  This may be a giveaway.

Lumesh Lipgloss- I don't know the shade name on this sample but it's right up my alley.  Pink, not too sticky, and no offensive smell.  The sample size is extremely small though which is a little disappointing but for the amount of time I will wear this it's more than fine.

This box gets an A, two thumbs up, and a hug.  Gimme more Birchbox!  

Allure Sample Society October 2014

Not going to lie to you guys,  I'm a little disappointed by this month's Allure Box.  Let me tell you why.

Stuff and Things

Emi Jay Hair Ties-  I have a zillion hair ties, but not many like these.  I am constantly in flux with my hairstyles throughout the day, and honestly think this is part of the reason my hair falls out so much.  These are supposed to be more gentle on your hair, I just hope they don't slip out during the day. 

L'Oreal Total Repair Shampoo and Conditioner- I love the hair mask in this line but was super disappointed to see these in this month's box.  I always expect really high quality items in this box, not something I can pick up for a few bucks at Target.  That being said I will be using these the next time I travel, so it's not a complete loss.

Estee Lauder Enlighten Dark Spot Correcting Cream-  This was supposed to be a larger sample so that's one more tick for why the box disappointed me.  This product however s supposed to me amazing but it's not something I see myself using anytime soon.  I will more than likely be gifting this.

Bond no. 9 Perfume in Chinatown-  This smell triggers memories of playing in my grandparents back room in all of their old jewelry and clothes.  It also reminds me of a scent you would find on your grandmothers dresser in an ornate bottle with one of those diffuser pumps on it.  That being said, this scent is not for me.  I can't even keep it out of the wrapper very long without it diffusing into the air and giving me a headache.  Into the gift pile it goes.

Bobbi Brown Mascara-  This is probably the saving grace from this box.  I love mascaras and I have never tried a Bobbi Brown product before.  Fingers crossed this adds some oomph to my lashes and makes me look like I spent hours applying false lashes like a good mascara should.

Overall I give this box a B-/C.  I know it's a low score and my review was very harsh but I just expect more.  These past few months they have really stepped up their game and I just feel a little let down. The hair ties, shampoo/conditioner, expecting a larger sized Estee Lauder sample, and the perfume really killed it for me. That's four out of the five items that didn't wow or excite me.  Everything in this box comes with good intentions, I just hope next month it comes with a higher value to me.

Blush Mystery Beauty Bag October 2014

I actually received this box over a week ago, took pictures, and then failed to post.  Shame shame blogger!

I am going to give this box a theme title of "Perk me up essentials".  

-The Box/Bag-

Klorane Shampoo:  Sweet baby Jesus this stuff smells amazing.  I have the leave in conditioner counterpart to this shampoo and it smells like dessert.  Like a bakery on steroids.  Like heaven.  I sneakily already used this once and it's nothing too spectacular, but I would definitely buy this for the smell.

Batiste Dry Shampoo in Original:  Well this is probably the most blogged about dry shampoo ever to exist.  I can't even begin to tell you how many reviews I've read on this stuff and all of it's siblings.  I don't know if I will use this anytime soon, but I can say I'm eager to try it out.

Cargo BeachBlush in Cable Beach:  They say it's a blush and bronzer, but it will only ever be a blush to me.  It's shimmery pink/mauve/bronze tones and gives your cheeks the perfect fall flush.  I think I may have just found my new favorite blush!

Glytone Eye Cream:  I have it, I love it, I use it all the time.  Nuff said.

StriVectin AR Night Cream:  Not a huge fan of night creams.  I like to use them on occasion when I really want to pamper myself, but I wear a sleep mask so most of it rubs off the areas I apply it.   This may be going into the gift pile.

Overall I give this bag a B.  All useful items but nothing to girl squeal over.  I'm craving a little excitement from my boxes and this just hasn't done it for me this month.

Ipsy Glam Bag September 2014

I am a huuuuge fan of beauty boxes/bags.  I love the idea of being able to try a bunch of different kinds of products, while not breaking the bank.  Honestly I have found some of my favorite products from beauty subscriptions.  This month's Ipsy bag has one item in it that I have used religiously every day, and makes me want many many more of them.

-The spoils from this month's bag-

Hikari Lipstick in Cabernet-  I love me a good red lipstick, and this is a good red lipstick.  With fall and winter coming I can't even complain about another lipstick coming in a beauty subscription.  Next time I'm crossing my fingers for a dusty rose, or a muted plum.

Briogeo Deep Conditioning Mask-  I actually already have the full sized product so I will be giving this away.  It is one of my favorite hair masks for when my hair is doing well, and the smell is just divine.

Pacifica Eyeliner in Fringe-  I don't usually use brown liners, but I may just break out of my comfort zone a bit and start using this to fill in my brows or under my lower lash line.

LeeAnni Eco Toner-  I am not a huge fan of toners, but this smells pretty good and may just be my missing link when I am too lazy to wash my face like an adult.  AKA when I use face wipes and wonder why I wake up with crazy looking skin.

Dual Ended Shadow/Crease Brush by Crown Brush-  Obsessed comes to mind when this brush is mentioned.  It's soft, picks up and puts down the right amount of shadow, and the little nubby side is great for putting shadow on your lower lash line.  Can I have all of them?  

This was this month's bag, and the collection was called Street Style.  The bag reminds me of being a teenager when everything needed studs, and anything that looked the color of duct tape as an accessory was not considered taboo.  I do think this bag is a good size for traveling, but could easily go just as nicely tucked inside a cute looking bag on a night out.

Overall I give this bag a B.  While I did find one item I truly loved, and two I liked, the other two were either a repeat of something I had, or something I don't see myself using regularly.  I hope that next month gets a little better and has more products I love.

Allure Sample Society September 2014

I love this box so much I bought it for my mom for a present recently, and even the lady on the phone said things were going to start getting really good.  I'm glad she was right!

-Well helloooo gorgeous-

Dahlia Divin- I love getting perfume samples in boxes, but I rarely wear them. This fall I vow to wear my samples, and this baby is first on my list.

Restorsea Eye Cream- This eye cream is $85.  I have never in my life bought one single makeup or skincare item for $85.  It smells amazing, comes with a little scoop/spoon thing, and makes me feel fancy with it sitting on my dresser.  My other eye cream is running low so this will be next in rotation!

Alterna Caviar Protien Cream-  I can't say enough good things about this hair care range.  I owl the seasilk oil, the CC cream, and now this!  It smells just like the other products and ::fingers crossed:: will help my hair from breaking off as much.

Tarte Brazilliance Self Tanning Face Towelettes-  I don't self tan so I have no real need for these, but who knows, this winter may just change my tune.

Lorac POREfection Mattifying Primer-  I have been digging around for a primer lately (I usually never wear one, but when makeup starts sliding off your face it's time for a change)  and couldn't for the life of me find one in my stash, even though I know I have some.  Hopefully this helps with my falling face problem.  Fingers crossed!

Overall this box gets an A-.  I love everything but the self tanning towelettes, and I especially love the Restorsea eye cream.

Birchbox September 2014

Just a forewarning, if you don't subscribe to Birchbox you may be feeling some envy right now.  They've gotten even better this month than last month!

-The whole kit and caboodle-

Macadamia Healing Oil Spray: I have never tried a Macadamia product and this was the first thing I saw when I opened my box this month.  Super pumped.

Avene Facial Wash:  You know me, I love a good face wash.  Especially with winter coming and the copious amounts of makeup that accompany that change in weather.

Hello Fragrance:  Not a fan, but I can see a few people I know liking this fragrance.

Tocca Green Tea and Lemon Hand Cream:  In love with the smell of this.  Even more in love with how this feels.  Gimme more!

Chapstick Hydration Lock: This was an extra this month and I feel like it will get a lot of use come winter time.

Temptu Champagne Highlighter:  I am not a huge fan of liquid anything, I'm a powder addict, but I do love me a highlighter.  I will find a way to fit this into my routine, it's too beautiful not to.

Overall I give this box an A+.  Keep it up birchbox, you're blowing me out of the water lately.

Blush Mystery Beauty Bag September 2014

So sorry for being absent these past few weeks.  Work has been nuts, I lost my camera, and I've been under the weather to boot.  But I do have some nice pictures taken and some posts coming up so I hope that helps you guys out a little bit.

Who wants to see the goodies that got dropped on my doorstep in my Blush Mystery Beauty Bag this month??

Goodies!

Lumene Face Wipes- I haven't used face wipes in a long while.  I've been working on getting my skin back into shape, but I really could have used these babies this past week.  12 hour days call for late nights and early mornings.  I'm happy to have these babies on my desk for this upcoming crazy week as well.

Color WOW 1 Minute Transformation-  What?  I watched the video for this and it looks perfect for my hair. My only concern is it getting waxy after a few hours, but on crazy days this could just be a miracle worker.

Klorane Dry Shampoo-  I have this. I like it.  Nuff said.

Vapour Organics Bronzer Stick-  I love the whole stick concept being thrown around. I have sticks for my eyes, my lips, blush, and now bronzer.  I don't think the color is for me, but maybe this winter I can use it to perk me up on dark days.

Juice Beauty Reflecting Gloss in Organic Pink-  Usually I run for the hills when I come across shimmery glosses, but this one isn't bad.  It's got sparkles, but it feels slick and not goopy and grainy.  I actually had a friend compliment me on it, so on no-makeup makeup days this could be my ticket to not looking like the living dead.

SkinCeuticals Advanced Pigment Corrector-  I do have rosy red cheeks, and some spots from blemishes, so I'm quite excited to see how this works out.  As long as it doesn't do the opposite, or break me out, I can't see not loving this stuff.

Overall I give this bag a B.  It's full of very useful things, but nothing that made me go "wow" when I opened the bag.  The past few months have been like this and I'm just hoping that they start to add some more wow factor into their next few bags.

Have you tried anything from this month's bag?  

Ipsy Glam Bag August 2014

Who's ready for an Ipsy review??

Goodies

Mannai Sheer Glo- I'm all about highlighter right about now, but this is more of a sheer barely there shimmer.  I can see wearing this on a bare face, or under makeup on a dry wintery day.

Lord & Berry Eyeliner in Black Silk- I don't wear pencil liner so I'm not overly thrilled about this, but if I ever change my ways this is the perfect size for a clutch on a night out.

Urban Decay Perversion Macara- What?!  I'm really excited for this. I'm currently using up a few different mascaras so I can't justify using yet another mascara just yet.

Free Your Mane Reviving Spray-  Being on the fence about dry shampoo's I'm nervous to try this out.  It's supposed to revive second day curls and volume.  I feel a trial period coming up!

Bee All Natural Lip Balm in Grapefruit-  I love this. The smell is on point, there's no crazy taste, and it's the perfect amount of waxy and smooth on your lips.  It's perfect for dry cracked lips, and it's organic to boot!

Overall this month's bag was exciting.  I'll use almost everything, and the things I won't I'm still not too unhappy with.  

Are you an Ipsy Subscriber?  

Birchbox August 2014

It's the last day of August and I'm still writing subscription box reviews. Tsk tsk.

Anywhoo, here is this month's August Birchbox, and dare I say Birchbox just keeps getting better and better.

Here are the things!

Supergoop Hand Cream-  The sample is really small, but it's whats inside that counts right?  Another handcream to add to my obsession, and it's a good'un.  I like the scent, love the feel, and wish I had more.

Nugg Face Mask Soothing-  I think this is the most adorable thing to ever grace Birchbox.  I am on a face mask binge right now and cannot wait to use this.  

Dr. Jart BB DIS-A-PORE-  I rarely use pore diminishing/hiding products.  I think they clog up my skin and can make me oily super quickly.  That being said there is a first time for everything right?

amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo-  I love love love this.  The scent is amazing, it is one of the only dry shampoo things I have tried that doesn't irritate my scalp, and it works really well.  For only $21 on the Birchbox site I may just have to splurge and buy this baby.

Model Co Shimmer Bronzer- This was my pick for this month's box and I am not upset about it.  It is a shimmer bronzer so you can't highlight with it, but it's good for a little pick me up when you're feeling a little pale.

I love this month's box.  I will use everything and I can't wait to see what Septembers box will bring.  If the sample choices (which got snapped up super quick) are any indication, it's going to be fabulous.
