IPSY May 2015

Guess what time it is? IPSY time! That's right. I got my first ever Ipsy Glam Bag. The theme for may was Jetsetter
I got 6 things (bag included) I was not too impressed with this bag at first but after using some of the things i got.. i really came to love it.

So first off every IPSY comes with a glam bag. Mine was the VIP: VERY IMPORTANT PRODUCTS bag
How stinking cute is this? Its durable and has a cute pink lining on the inside. It's a pretty decent size too.

Next up we have the Urban Decay Revolution high-color lipgloss samples with the liner pencil
So this is the Urban Decay 24/7 glide on pencil.  It's okay.  Nothing special and the stick part is really small, unless i just don't know how to work it. (it was just a sample so it makes sense that its small) It goes on clear, its just like a base coat. The full size retails at $20

Next I'll show you what the 2 samples looked like on.
First is the Bittersweet. 
I know it looks sloppy, i just was testing it out. The color is really bright and noticable. I love how purple this one is but i hate how wet it is. This retails at $22

Next is the FailBait
IN LOVE  with this color! Still, its very wet and i don't like that but i honestly would consider buying this one! It also is retailed at $22

Next up we have the Chella eyebrow pencil
So i don't typically use brow pencil's but this one matches pretty well and i'll give it a shot.
this retails at $18

I just got a hair oil in a previous box. I am kind of iffy on using these. It's nice that this is organic and i may give it a try just to tame my frizzy hair. It retails at $18.99

I actually used this last night because i was wearing a lot of eye makeup. It took my really hard to get off eyeliner off and i was SO impressed. It smelled great too. It retails at $19 but is so worth it. I will be buying this when i run out!

This is very shimery and goes well with the gel eyeliner i got in a previous box. 
This is shimmery but not too much where it looks crazy. I like it and it only retails at $4.99. They have a ton of colors to choose from too!




Ipsy is only $10 a month and each month you get a glam bag with some beauty essentials. I am impressed with what i got and think i am going to go for round 2 with them and see what excitement June brings us.

TOM Box May 2015

It's that time again! Time for another Tom Box.
This time around I got double makeup and jewelry! YAY.. except no candy again and that makes me mad :(


So obviously I got Tampons. Playtex Gentle Glide 360
These are the same ones i got before. Nothings changed. Still like these. 

Lets get to the good stuff. The makeup!
This is the first set of makeup i got. 

First off we have the SAMPAR Midnight Mask
I am starting to love facial masks! They tend to relax me. I found so many different prices for this. One was $28 and others were $53 so it varies. I would not spend that much on this. It was okay but not worth all that money. 

Next up we have the Cargo Jet Lag Concealer
I'll start off by saying that i had no concealer before this because i could never find the perfect one. This one is a little bit lighter than my skin tone but its AWESOME. 
This concealer is $30 but its worth the splurge! 

So i got this same exact stuff in my Beauty Box 5 Bonus Box. You can read the review there. It's funny though because my daughter got into my makeup and squished some lipstick into my other one so i actually needed a new one! This retails around $9.95

Now round 2 of makeup
I was impressed with round 2 as well!

There was also a random brush in here. I actually didn't have this one so i was happy that i got it. I just bought a new set of brushes and this wasn't included in the pack. (ITS CREEPY HOW THEY KNOW WHAT I NEED)

First up we have Ciga Los Angeles Shimmer Shadow
I like how this color looks. I don't really tend to wear green eye shadow but now that i have some, why not? It swatches out so pretty and sparkly too.
It's not too over the top. I looked it up to see how much it was but i couldn't find anything about the brand anywhere!

I got a sample of CoolWay shampoo before and i love it. I am not much of a hair oil kind of girl. I am skeptic of it because i think it will make my hair look greasy and i just don't want that. I will probey give this to my mom or sister. This retails at around $10

Last on the makeup train is Cailyn gel eyeliner
I love this stuff! I have never tried a gel eyeliner before and it looks so cool!
Its a pretty bronze color! Not too shimmery either. This retails at $21. 

Now onto the jewelry. I got 2 different ones

First up is this rose necklace
This is pretty and simple. I like it but i don't think i will wear it so it will most likely be gifted

Next is a Live in the moment bracelet
I don't like how this fits me and goes together. This will defiantly be gifted. I Love the pendant and think its cute but i wish it fit differently.

Ok so that is a lot of stuff for my Tom Box this month. It was $22 which i would say it was totally worth it. There are plenty of other options, there is something for everybody. Check it out!

Beauty Box 5 May 2015

I'm back with another BB5 review! I feel like I got this box so soon after i got my other 2 but i am NOT complaining, because i will use everything inside.
Just like normal you get 5 items. This months box didn't make me super excited like the other ones. I was a little disappointed. I did like all of the products i just probley wont buy any after all of these are gone.

First I'll talk about the Bio Swiss Stainless Steel Mini Tweezer
I already have 2 normal sized tweezers but this is nice to have small ones! The come in a tube so i can take them with me whenever i travel. They are small but i don't think i have to worry about them getting lost because of the tube. The retail is $4.99 #bioswiss

Next up is Ahava 3 sample pack
This stuff is great for an in-home spa day! It's also great for all skin types, which is a huge plus for everybody. I got the DeadSea Water mineral hand cream, Time to Hydrate Essential Day Moisturizer and the Time to Clear Purifying Mud Mask. I have never tried a mud mask so i am excited to try this. The retail for these is between $23.00-$42.00 for 1.7-3.4oz.  #ahava

I love this! I can never have too much blush. This color is pretty-in-pink. I love the color that it swatches out to as well, How cute! It glides really smoothly and is kind of shimmery. This is the full size (0.21oz) and retails for $5.99 #stylistyle

]
I have never had a nail and hand treatment cream before. I tried this out and it made my hands smell really good and made them smooth. This is supposed to heal dry hand and cuticles but I don't have dry hands this time of year. A full size bottle is 2.5oz. and retails at $26.00

I have so many brushes, but you can never have to many! The one i got was the BR-C-N05 its for your eyes. The brush seems pretty sturdy and it seems like it will last awhile (unless my daughter gets into my makeup bag again, then its a goner) These brushes retail at $1.95-$2.49  

So, like i said before this box wasn't that great but each month varies and i will use everything inside 
so i really can't complain.

 Beauty Box 5 Sends out 5 items each month, some sample and some full size. It's only $12 a month and totally worth it. Check it out here http://www.beautybox5.com/?u=25213

Axe White Label Products

I am fortunate enough to have gotten a bunch of Axe White Label products to review!
I got 2 dry spray antiperspirants, 2 deodorant sticks,  2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner, body wash and styling gel. I was not expecting to get so much stuff, i was shocked and super happy, not as happy as Jeremy because he gets to use all of these!

Lets start off with the antiperspirants.
2 of them are the spray on and 2 are the sticks. I have always been a fan of Axe but not too much Axe (like 16 year old boys who think they need to use the whole bottle). The 2 spray on ones are Island and Air. I LOVE the smell of Island. it smells so tropical. The Island consists of A surge of crushed citrus, fig, and coconut notes  The Air smells a little bit like ocean air. It smells really good! That one consists of An alluring breeze of lemon, ginger, coconut and sandalwood notes. The night stick antiperspirant reminds me of the kind of deodorant smell you smell at the gym. It smells really good and is most like the other kind of deodorant that Jeremy used before. Night consists of A cool rush of grapefruit, lavender, cedar wood and praline notes. The forest one I'm not a huge fan of but it still smells good. It smells like the woods.. like its supposed to! It consists of A blooming blend of pear, starfruit, driftwood and moss notes

Next we have the body wash and 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner
The body wash was in the scent Island and the Shampoo/Conditioner was in Forest. Let me tell you this stuff is GREAT. I still smelled this stuff on him today and he used it yesterday! The Island is by far my favorite. I feel like the Forest smell smells better as the shampoo/conditioner because you don't use as much but the smell is still long lasting.

Last we have the Styling Cream
We got the cooling styling cream in Night. This is my second favorite smell. Jeremy needs a haircut before he can use this. 

You know how in the commercials the guys wear Axe to attract the ladies? Well seriously these smell so good and I, a female, LOVE the smell of all of these. It's not just for the guys. I am around Jeremy all the time and I don't want him smelling weird. This stuff makes him smell EXCELLENT. He loves it too. When we run out we will absolutely be buying more. 









Bellies To Babies

Hey everyone! So, I am not expecting a child anytime soon but I thought it would be fun to see what Bellies To Babies was all about. They send you maternity clothes.. STYLISH maternity clothes. Not the boring old lady maternity clothes you typically see and they are so cheap! A lot of people don't want to spend a ton of money on maternity clothes. When i was pregnant i never needed to buy any maternity clothes which was nice but most people do. So lets see what we go this time around

#1 - This is the Bellies To Babies brand Teal Blue with Side Ties
The fabric is super stretchy. The side ties also help accentuate your bump! The tag said ($14.99)

#2- We have this Old Navy pink/coral colored short sleeve shirt
This has a zipper in the back and is kind of big for a medium. It stretches nicely and it's such a pretty color! The tag said $7.99 (GREAT PRICE)

#3- We have the NY & CO Gray Maxi Dress
This dress is so pretty! It could also be kept after you have your baby because of how flowy it is. The design is really pretty and I find that maxi dresses in general make your bump look great. The tag on this said $19.99

#4- We have Motherhood Maternity Beach Bump shrirt
This shirt is very light weight and VERY cute! I wish i had this when i was pregnant. Its perfect for summer when its super hot out and you don't want to wear too much because you will sweat to death. the tag said it was $6.99 hello affordable!!!

#5- We have the Motherhood Maternity Blue Crochet Top
This one is very pretty. It looks like something you could wear to work or on a nice day. It is not a stretchy material but it does have a cinch tie around the waist. I think this is so pretty and i love the color. The price on the tag is $7.99

#6- We have the Ripe blue and white striped t-shirt
I love this one and i am not usually a fan of stripes because i feel like horizontal stripes make you look wide, but when you are pregnant you can pull it off. The material is stretchy and this shirt is perfect for any day! The price on the tag is $9.99

#7-  We have Indigo Blue Jean Shorts
You can still look cute in the summer ladies. These shorts are so cute and the belly band is super stretchy! You can wear these all summer long. The shorts are not too short either where you have to worry if your butt is hanging out. The tag says these are $12.99


As you can see all of these are much cheaper than what you would pay in store and they are super cute AND name brand. With Bellies to Babies they make it so that when you are done with the clothes they will buy them back (as long as you don't destroy them). You don't even have to have had previously bought the items from them either.They will buy your used maternity clothes. 

Seriously, if you are an expecting mama look at this sight. Save money on your clothes so you can spoil your little one when they come!

Nibblr Box May 2015

I decided I wanted to try out the Nibblr Box. I figured that it was going to be something like the Graze boxes I have received before and I love trying out healthy snacks!
The box was a long rectangle with each of the snack side by side. I feel like you get the same amount of portions as you would with the Graze. I got 4 different snacks to try out. 

First we will talk about the SeaMonster snack
I did not like the SeaMonster AT ALL. It had wasabi peas and seaweed crisps. I didn't mind the seaweed crisps but i have never been a fan of wasabi anything. Jeremy (boyfriend) on the other hand loved these! He was iffy at first but then they became addictive. 

Next we have Sesa-Me & You
This was a sesame honey almond snack mix. I really liked this! It has just the right amount of sweet and salty. Very crunchy, I would buy a bag of these if they sold them in bag form!

Next is Sri-richteous
This is sriacha popcorn crunch and kettle corn crunch. You know when the popcorn in the bag doesn't pop all the way? Well those little pieces are covered in a sriacha powdery stuff. It was okay but it was not my favorite and it kind of hurt my teeth.

Last we have Stuck on Flack
This is like a flax seed pretzel combo. BY FAR MY FAVORITE. i want so much more. these are so sweet and crunchy and Jeremy who doesn't really care for pretzels loved these. I am craving these again now. YUMMMMM

Nibblr is pretty much like Graze. You can choose to get a box every week, every other week or monthly. A one time box is $6.99. If you like to try yummy healthy snacks in a variety then i think this is a good idea. Check it.. Life is too short to be Hangry!
