Birchbox September Review

Hello Again!

 Ready?

  1.Birchbox & Color Club Custom Collection in Insta-this-  I love the way this one turned out. It got chipped a little when I was grabbing my camera out of my purse. It is so gorgeous and it dried really quick. I give this product a 5 out of 5.

2. Twistband Lace up for fall in Blue- I love all the twistbands I have so I already knew I would love this. They do tend to stretch out after a while. I have really fine hair so these are perfect, they don't pull on your hair. I give this product a 5 out of 5.

3. Dr. Jart+ Water Fuze Beauty Balm SPF 25+- I was worried about this not blending well with my pale complexion. I had heard however that a lot of bb creams blend with most skin tones. And thankfully it did. It seemed to blend perfectly actually. I have a lot of freckles and I don't care for them. It worked perfectly to make them lighter and harder to notice. It blended easy and made my skin look even. I give this product a 5 out of 5.

4. BVLGARI Mon Jasmin Noir- So... I was hoping I would like this but it was too strong and gave me a headache. It reminds me of something an old woman would wear. I did not like this at all. I give this product a  0 out of 5.

5. LiQWd Volumizing Shampoo & Conditioner- It did seem to give my hair a slight fluffiness when I used it with the catalyst. Having thin hair it was good at giving it a little more volume. I give this product a 4 out of 5.

6. LiQWd Professional Volumizing Catalyst- This product worked great with the shampoo and conditioner but I also tried it on its own too. It works really well. I would suggest you blow dry for the best results though. I give this product a 4 out of 5.

And lastly this box came with a little style booklet. I actually enjoyed this. It gave me some good ideas. 5 out of 5!

Ipsy (My Glam Bag) September Review

 I have the review for my September Ipsy. September's bag was called: Beauty By You

1. Black Bag with Gold Hardware- I love it. Something so practical for me. I wear a lot of black and it's my favorite color. And I can honestly say I had a slight addiction to bags long before I tried being more girly. I would buy them but never use them. But now I try to use them. I give this product a 5 out of 5.

2. SOHO Smudge Brush- I actually really love this brush. It works so well. I was able to get eyeshadow on evenly and beautifully. I have sensitive skin so if a brush is even a little stiff it makes my skin all red. But this a perfect texture. I give this product a 5 out of 5.

3. Mirabella Eye Colour in Semi-formal-  I was iffy about this from the get go. It went on smooth though. It is high quality. I felt like I was adding silk to my lids. My only problem was the way this color looked on my eyes. Since I am pale it made it look like I had dark circles around my eyes like I hadn't slept. I give this product a 3.5 out of 5.

4. Jane Sparkle Gloss in Sparkle Pink- I didn't like this much at all. The pink was way to bright for me. Plus it is a sticky gloss. I prefer a oily or slick gloss over sticky. It felt heavy on my lips. The only thing I liked was that it made my lips look a little plumper. I give this product a 2 out of 5.

5. Carol's Daughter Monoi Repairing Split End Sealer- My hair did feel a little silkier but there wasn't too much of a noticeable difference. I feel pretty indifferent about this product. I give this product a 2 out of 5.

6. Circus by Andrea's Choice Nail Color in Tightrope- I liked this one much more than spectacle. Next to black purple is my second favorite color. I loved the matte finish I got with this. I love it. I give this product a 5 out of 5.


All in all I really liked this bag. I will be posting a review for Septembers' Birchbox next Along with a preview of October's bag and box.

August My Glam/Ipsy Review

August Ipsy review This bag is called:

Orange & Pink Mesh Bag- I don't like pink that much so  gave this to my friend Tammy. I gave it a 0 out of 5.

Demeter Roll On Perfume in Clean Skin- I was not to excited at first because all I could think is why would I want the smell of skin. But it actually kind of smells like baby powder to me. So all in all it wasn't to bad. I give this product a 3 out of 5.

Salty Cosmetics Glamazoid Eye Shadow- I don't really care for loose powder to begin with because it gets messy. I was thinking this would show up as a white or pearl. But it had more of a opalescent effect and looks like it has a Purple/Pink tone to it. I don't really care for it. I give this product a 2 out of 5.

Eclos Cellular Activator Facial Serum-  This made my skin feel really good. I really like it. I give this product a 4 out of 5.

Eclos Moisture Theraphy Regenerative Cream- I really loved pairing this with the serum. My skin has dry patches and this really made my skin soft and smooth. I give this product a 4 out of 5.

Circus By Andrea's Choice in Spectacle- I love that it dried really quick. It almost has a glow to it which I thought was cool. It did chip really easy though. I give this product a 3 out of 5.

My Glam Gloss- I was worried at first that this was going to be bright but it actually went on sheer enough where it wasn't obnoxious. I love it. It is in my purse. I give this product a 5 out of 5.


Well that's it for now. I will try to get the September reviews up soon.

August Birch Box Review

Sorry it took so long but... here is my review of my August Birch Box items:

 Comodynes Hydra-Tanning Face Moisturizing Summer Glow- Sorry to say this but I didn't even try this. I had no interest.

Comodynes Self Tanning Intensive Towelettes- See Above for Summer Glow.

Beauty Fixation Make Up Remover- I love that they are swabs. It's easy to get small mistakes and they work great. But with that being said they do not work on big areas. If they made a kit that gave you swabs and wipes it would be fantastic. I give this product a 4 out of 5.

DDF Brightening Cleanser-  I really liked this cleanser. My skin felt really clean and smooth after. I give this product a 4 out of 5.

Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy La Fleur-  I am noticing more and more that I don't ever dislike a Juicy Couture scent. I love the way this smells it's not over powering like a lot of perfumes. I give this product a 5 out of 5.

Schick Hydro Silk Razor- I was really excited to try this. I didn't get that great of a shave from it the first time. I had random hairs or stubble everywhere. So I tried it a second time and got pretty much the same result. I think I will stick to my husbands Mach 3. I give this product a 2 out of 5.




Stay tuned for the My Glam/Ipsy August Review

September Ipsy (formerly my glam)

So let me first say that my September bag didn't show up until October 9th... Anyways. I am sorry for not getting the August reviews up yet but I swear it's next. So without further ado:

1.) Black with Gold zipper clutch purse- Perfect! Black is my favorite color.

2.) Soho Smudge Brush- Hopefully it's as awesome as it looks.

3.) Carol's Daughter Monoi Repairing Split End Sealer- This is something I really need so I have high hopes.

4.) Jane Sparkle Gloss in Sparkle Pink- A little apprehensive, it's quite bright.

5.) Mirabella Eye Color in Semi-formal- Eh, it's not the usual eye shades I go for but I am willing to give it a go.

6.) Circus by Andrea's Choice Nail Color in Tightrope- I can see myself liking this more than Spectacle.

Alright here comes the reviews!
