Hey Guys,

I am sooo behind on my subscription box reviews. I have had a lot of other content that I've wanted to post so I haven't gotten around to posting them. That being said, I am going to try my best to get two posts up a week so that I can catch up but I'm not making any promises. Today I'm going to share my thoughts on my BoxyLuxe for September! For those of you unfamiliar with BoxyCharm, it is a monthly beauty subscription box. You receive 4-5 FULL SIZED products each month. The subscription is $21.00 a month and usually has a theme. They also offer an upgraded box every quarter called BoxyLuxe. This is an additional $28.99 a quarter and you get 8-9 full sized products.  The theme for September was "All Access". I was pretty excited that we got to pick one of them items in this box and some of the products looked promising! Keep reading to see what I got and to hear my thoughts.

February Favorites & Flops

Hey Guys,

Today I'm going to share my favorite products for February. I have been trying ALOT of new products. It's hard to narrow down just a few so I have a few more than normal this month. I am trying my best to get reviews banged out so you will see a lot in the coming weeks. I am super excited that spring is almost here. The warm weather and longer days just put me in a better mood. I don't really have any big plans for the spring or summer but I am hoping to plan something fun at some point! Check out my video below to see the products that I was loving this month!

Review: BoxyCharm Feb 2017

Hey Guys,

I hope everyone is as excited as me that it is March 1st! Even though Spring technically isn't until March 21st, the start of the month is just a reminder that we are almost there! Today I am going to share my thoughts on my BoxyCharm for February. I shared last month's box kind of late so I'm kind of reviewing these really close together. For those of you unfamiliar with BoxyCharm, it is a monthly beauty subscription box. You receive 5 FULL SIZED products each month. The subscription is $21.00 a month and usually has a theme.The theme for the month of February was "Would You Be My Galentine?". This goes along with the fairly new holiday called "Galentine's Day" which is Feb. 13th. It's when women get together with their girlfriends and celebrate their friendship. I was super excited to see some sneak peeks for this month's both including the Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion scrub. Check out my video below to see what I got and my thoughts on each product! Keep reading below to check out the featured brand discount codes this month.

Another month, another Ipsy Glam Bag! For those of you unfamiliar with  Ipsy, it is a monthly beauty subscription service. For $10.00 a month, you get 4-5 deluxe to full size beauty products.

Beauty Empties

HI Ladies!

It's been quite a while since I did my last empties post. It takes me quite a while to save up enough to post about. The empties in this post have been saved over about a 4-5 month period.

Let's get right into them!

Batiste Dry Shampoo: I use Batiste every other day and go through a bottle in about 2-3 months. This is the best dry shampoo that I have tried so far. It does leave a powdery residue on your hair if sprayed too close but it can easily patted out. This dry shampoo does a great job at soaking up oils in my hair. 

Would I repurchase? Yes, I already have.

Redken Forceful 23 Hairspray: This is the only hairspray that I use. Even though it is a little pricey, it is so worth it. It keeps my curls in place without making them look crunchy or wet. It keeps my hair looking natural as if I had no product in it. 

Would I repurchase? Yes, I already have.

Redken Color Extend Shampoo and Conditioner: I began using this when I started to color my hair. Its supposed to help your hair color last longer. I have never really been a fan of how it makes my hair feel after using it. It just doesn't feel clean. I would say it probably does help keep the color in but I just really don't like it. I also think its expensive. 

Would I repurchase? Probably not. I have recently purchased the L'Oreal Everpure Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner which is for color-treated hair and sulfate free. Thanks to Kate from Kate Spitz Blog for introducing me to this.

Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Shampoo and Conditioner: I got these in an Influenster Vox Box. You can read my review of them HERE. I really liked this shampoo and conditioner for the summer time when I wore my hair scrunched or curly. It smells great and adds natural waves to my hair. 

Would I repurchase? Yes, but only in the summer.

M.A.C. Brush Cleaner: This bottle took me quite a while to use up. I mix it with water and shampoo to clean my brushes. 

Would I repurchase? Probably not, I would just buy a cheaper brush cleaner.

Urban Decay De-Slick Makeup Setting Spray: I really like

NYX HD Photogenic Concealer in Yellow: I reviewed this concealer HERE. I think it is a pretty good concealer especially considering the price. 

Would I repurchase? Not the yellow shade but I have repurchase the Beige shade.

Rimmel Scandaleyes Mascara: I love this mascara. It gives me great volume and drama and you can't beat the price. 

Would I repurchase? Yes, I already have.

e.l.f. Studio Makeup Remover Cleansing Cloths: I love this wipes. They are so inexpensive and work really good. They are also pretty big. I have purchasing these for years. Would I repurchase? Yes, I do every couple months.

CVS Cocoa Butter Deep Conditioning Moisturizer: Cocoa Butter is the only moisturizer that I use for my body. I go back and fourth between the CVS brand and Vaseline brand Cocoa Butter. They both do a great job at keeping my skin soft and moisturized.

Would I repurchase? Yes.

Clarins Water Purify One Step Cleanser with Mint Essential Water: I use this cleanser every morning. I have been using it since 2006 and love it. Its a bit expensive but worth it for me. 

Would I repurchase? Yes, I already have.

Montagne Jeunesse Pure Oils Sleep Spa Mask: This is a paper mask that you use before bed. Once you take off the mask you let the product soak into your skin. You don't wash it off. I think paper masks are hard to keep on. This one specifically burned my eyes so bad. I don't know if I touched my eye after putting on the mask or if it was just from the mask being close to my eyes.  

Would I repurchase? No.

Lush Mask of Magnaminty: I really loved this mask! You can read my review HERE. Would I repurchase? Yes.

Philosophy Take a Deep Breath Gel Cream Moisturizer: This is my current moisturizer. I just reviewed it not too long ago. You can read my review HERE. 

Would I repurchase? Yes, I already have.

Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion Skin Exfoliant: I got this sample in my Ipsy bag. You can read my review HERE. I really liked it and thought that it worked well. My felt super clean after using it. However, it is super expensive. I know there are much cheaper exfoliants out there that are less money. 

Would I repurchase? No.

I hope that you enjoyed my long empties post!

Review: Ipsy Glam Bag April 2014

Hi Ladies!

March has come and gone and now April is almost over! That means another Ipsy bag has arrived! If you are unfamiliar with Ipsy, it is a monthy beauty subscription service. For $10.00 a month, you get 4-5 deluxe to full size products. It is SO worth your money. I think it is one of the greatest beauty subscription services around. The value of the products that you get each month ALWAYS surpass the cost.  I usually get my bag the 3rd week of the month. It came a bit early this month which was great. This months theme is Beauty Rocks! I was really happy to see that we were ALL getting some higher end products. I was really excited to try out some of the things in my bag this month. I wasn't disappointed about anything which was a plus.

Here are the items that I recieved this month:
