Review: Wantable Accessories Collection August 2015

Hi Guys,

Another month has passed which means another Wantable Accessories Collection! I am loving this service so much and get so excited to see what I am getting each month. Even though this service is more than my other monthly subscriptions like Ipsy, I do feel like it is worth the price.

For those of you unfamiliar with Wantable, it is a personal styling service that you can sign up for monthly (or whenever you would like). It is $40 for your first box and $36.00 every month after that. You get 4-5 products that are tailored to your beauty profile that you fill out when signing up. If you are not happy with your collection, you can send the whole box back and get a refund. They have 3 different type collections; an Accessories Collection, a Makeup Collection, and an Intimates Collection. They recently just added two more subscriptions that are a little different. The Style Edit and the Fitness Edit. These boxes are a little bit more pricey. You pay a $20 styling fee and they send you 5 hand picked items that you can choose to purchase or send back.

Here is what I got in my August Accessories Collection:

Livie Hoops Silver $16.00

This hoops are very simple however I usually wear more simple hoops on a regular basis. I usually pair them with more fancy statement necklaces. I will definitely wear these often. I like the little textured detail on them.

Andie Necklace S $28.00

This statement necklace is so pretty. I like that it is tan and white as it will go with many things. I'm not a fan of gunmetal color of the chain part however, I guess that's not a huge deal.

Giada Earrings $16.00

These statement earrings are so pretty! They sit a little weird on my ears but that has to do with the way my ears were pierced. These will look really good paired with a simple v neck shirts and a pair of jeans. I would probably go with a blacks shirt.

Elena Necklace $18.00

I really loved this piece alot. Its so simple but will go with so much. I think I will get alot of use out of this necklace.

Total Collection Value $78.00

Overall, I was very pleased with the items in my August collection. My favorite piece is the Elena necklace, Its so versatile and can be worn with so many different style outfits.

Review: Ulta Best of Becca Kit

Hey Guys,

Today I wanted to share my thoughts on the Best of Becca set from Ulta! It was $34.50 and such a great value. I have wanted to try Becca products for quite a while so I was so excited to see this set! Becca products are pretty expensive so it was awesome to be able to try a bunch of deluxe samples of them.

This set was $34.50 but I haven't seen it online or in stores anymore. Ulta just released a similar Becca set which you can check out HERE.

Here is what came in the kit:

Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in Rose Gold

soft gold infused w/ rose tones

Here is what is said about this product on the Ulta site:
"Find refined luminosity in any light - this formula features ultra-fine luminescent pearls that absorb, reflect, and refract light so your natural radiance is never lost. Unlike the traditional pressed powder method which simply mixes and compresses dry ingredients, this unique process blends pigments with proprietary liquid binders, resulting in unparalleled, creamy application with balanced color dispersion. Like a compact full of crushed gemstones, the multi-toned, ultra-fine pigment pearls adjust to skin's natural undertones for a truly unique glow."
http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod10921068

I really love this highlighter. Its such a pretty unique color and gives just enough highlight without being too much. I was so upset when this broke! The whole entire highlighter came out of the pan and crumbled. I didn't even drop it or anything. I'm going to try to fix it. Hopefully it works.

Becca Beach Tint Shimmer Souffle in Watermelon/Moonstone

coral red infused with pale gold

Here is what is said about this product on the Ulta site:
"Water-resistant and oil-free, each pot combines BECCA's top-selling Beach Tint with a Shimmering Skin Perfector for effortlessly buildable colour with a splash of radiance.

An innovative air-whipped gel-to-powder that provides a wash of luminescent colour for the cheeks. Infused with skin-soothing, redness-reducing brown algae, this formula hydrates and revives dull skin for a youthful glow. Water-resistant and oil, paraben and talc-free.

Whipped to perfection: Each soufflé begins by pulverizing Beach Tint and Shimmering Skin Perfector pigments and pearls into an ultra-fine powder. The powder is then combined with a proprietary blend of liquids and whipped into a perfectly delicate soufflé." http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod10921044#

Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Opal

golden opal pearl

Here is what is said about this product on the Ulta site:

"Achieve a subtle luminosity. This formula features ultrafine light-reflecting pearls that melt into your skin for polished, natural-looking radiance. Water-light and sheer, it has a prismatic effect that allows it to adjust in any light, so your refined glow is never lost."

http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod10921070#

This is a pretty highlight and I love the opal color but I prefer the pressed highlighter over the cream one. I feel like the powder is easier to apply.

Becca Beach Tint in Guava

bright coral pink

Here is what is said about this product on the Ulta Site:
"Apply a beautiful flush and a pretty pout with this blendable two-in-one formula for lips and cheeks. The oil-free, streak-free stain is enriched with antioxidant vitamin E to repair and soothe skin and the water-resistant formula stays put with a subtle, fruity scent."
http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod10921046

Here are swatches of each product:

L-R: Opal, Guava, Watermelon/Moonstone, Rose Gold

Overall, this was a great kit to try out a bunch of Becca products. I wish that they had more kits like this from all the different beauty brands. If I can't fix the Rose Gold pressed highlighter I will probably buy the full sized product. I recently picked up the Opal pressed highlighter and like it but I prefer the Rose Gold one!

Review: Wantable Accessories Collection July 2015

Hey Guys,

Today I'm going to share with you my Wantable Accessories Collection for July 2015. I was really happy with my collection last month. I decided to keep the subscription going and got another box this month. 

For those of you unfamiliar with Wantable, it is a personal styling service that you can sign up for monthly (or whenever you would like). It is $40 for your first box and $36.00 every month after that. You get 4-5 products that are tailored to your beauty profile that you fill out when signing up. If you are not happy with your collection, you can send the whole box back and get a refund. They have 3 different type collections; an Accessories Collection, a Makeup Collection, and an Intimates Collection. They recently just added two more subscriptions that are a little different. The Style Edit and the Fitness Edit. These boxes are a little bit more pricey. You pay a $20 styling fee and they send you 5 hand picked items that you can choose to purchase or send back.

Keep reading to see what I got in the Accessories Collection for July!

ASPEN NECKLACE SILVER $42.00

I absolutely love this necklace! I don't have many statement necklaces that are silver so I was thrilled to see this. The jewels on this necklace reflect a bunch of different colors and match a pair of earrings that I have perfectly. I have worn this necklace alot lately.

ASHTON EARRINGS $16.00

These earrings are so pretty. I love the tear drop shape. I don't own any earrings like this. 

CHAR NECKLACE GOLD $19.00

This is such a simple yet beautiful piece. I love the addition of the rhinestones and pink beading.

ASHLEE EARRINGS G $14.00

These are my least favorite of the collection. They are a cute aztech/bohemian style and I like the teal on the earrings. The shape is just a little different. I will try to rock them though.

Total Collection Value $91.00

Overall, I was really happy with this box. My favorite item was the Aspen necklace. I think that Wantable has done a great job at understanding my style and what I am looking when it comes to accessories. I already got my August collection and just a little spoiler...I LOVE it!

Review: Ipsy Glam Bag August 2015

Hey Guys,

I can't believe the summer is almost over. The summer flew by and its pretty depressing. I hate the shorter days and cold weather. I need to enjoy this last bit of summer and hopefully we will have a warm fall. Anyways, let's move on to Ipsy. 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. To learn more you can check out my previous Ipsy reviews on my Subscription Reviews tab at the top of my blog. The theme for this month was "Prep School". The bag was a cute houndstooth print but I wasn't fan of the plastic material. 

Here are the products that I recieved this month:

Review: ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip

Hey Guys,

I got a bunch of ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip liquid lipsticks a while ago and am just getting around reviewing them. I went crazy trying to order these things the day that they were released. The site crashed and finally I was able to place my order around 1 a.m.! These liquid lipstick come in a bunch of colors from neutral, to bright pinks, to dark reds. There have been mixed reviews of these lipsticks. Some people love them while others hate them. Keep reading to hear my thoughts!

ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip $6.00

Here are the colors that I chose:

Tulle

Tulle is a dusty mauve burgundy. This will be a great color for the fall.

Lychee

Lychee is a bright warm violet. I really love this color. Its such a fun and summery color. 

Trap

Trap is a dusty greyed out beige. I was hoping to like this more. Its just not my favorite on me.

Solow

Solow is a neutral nude pink. I have worn this color the most as its the most wearable of the bunch that I picked out.

Seesaw

Seesaw is a pastel lavender pink. It just doesn't look right on me. It was also the hardest to apply.

Drive-In

Drive-In is a mid toned bright magenta. Its my favorite of the bunch! I think this color is so gorgeous. 

Midi

Midi is a soft neutral beige. It is FAR too light on me. All I did was put it on my lips once to know that I won't be wearing this one again.

Here are swatches of each color:

L-R: Midi, Trap, Solow, Seesaw, Tulle, Drive-In, Lychee

I am wearing Drive-In in this picture.

Overall, I am really pleased with these lipsticks. YES you do need to apply a lip balm underneath them as they are drying. When I apply a lip balm they are much less drying. All of the liquid lipsticks are extremely pigmented. The formula is more on the watery side but the only color I had an issue with apply was Seesaw. For darker or brighter colors I suggest using a lip liner first. Wear time is 5-6 hours. I notice a little wearing towards the middle of my lips when I eat and drink. All I needed was a little touch up in the middle and I was good to go. I have talked to people that hated these liquid lipsticks however I like them. For $6.00, I think they are great. Just make sure you do the research on the colors. I found that the lighter colors are not my favorites. I like the brighter and darker colors better. I already have a few more that I want to pick up. The next colors on my list are Bumble and Clueless. Because these have recieved so many mixed reviews I suggest that you pick up a couple and try them out yourself to decide how you like them.
