BirchBox May 2015

Hey everybody! So, i decided to keep my subscription to BirchBox.  May's theme is Cupcakes and Cashmere.

There were 5 things in this box. Lets get started!

First we have the Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo

Can we first start off by talking about how cute this bottle is?! I love it. Okay so i used this and loved it. It didn't leave a greasy look like some other brands do. The smell was amazing. It is their signature obliphica scent. The retail for full-size is $22

Next we have the Benefit Cosmetics Total Moisture Facial Cream.

Talk about cute packaging again! I really liked this facial cream. I have mentioned before that i don't like putting creams and stuff on my face but this smelled so good and i put it on my face at night before bed. Its is so calming and did i mention it smells so good!? Retail for full-size is $42 

Next up is the Coastal Scents Revealed 3 Eyeshadow Quad

The Sampler i got was Desert Bloom. I really like these shades. They are pretty smooth and the colors are pretty. I swatched them out on a piece of paper because it was kind of hard to tell on my skin

Pretty right? The retail for the big palette is $20

Next we have the Marcelle Clay Mask

I really liked this! I used right after the shower, left it on for about 10 minutes and i swear my face felt so smooth! The full-size of this is $15  TOTALLY WORTH IT

Last we have the Whish Flawless Swipes

Do not waste your money. These did not work. I used after i shaved and guess what.. Still had bumps. They are supposed to eliminate the bumps after you shave. Also, these smell kinds gross. The retail is $22 and like i said.. don't waste your money

So all in all i did like my BirchBox this month. Yes, i didn't like one of the products but that is bound to happen. I seriously recommend Birchbox to everybody! There is even a man version! The women's is $10 a month. Check it out!

Love with Food May 2014

I got my first Love with Food box this month and LOVE it!The box i chose to get monthly is their Tasting Box. This month's theme is Fiesta!Fiesta!

I got 9 different things to try out which i thought was a lot for a tasting box but i am NOT complaining! 

First off we have the Blood Orange and Iced Mango Mint candy by Go Organics

I also got a $100 Wine Voucher but i don't ever use those. 

ANYWAYS the candy. The blood orange (purple wrapper) is my favorite! Some orange candies are gross but this one was so good! The Iced Mango was not my favorite. It was still good but i was not a fan of the minty mango mix. These candies are 100% organic which is a plus!

Next is the Educational Snacks by Dick & Jane Baking Company

Seriously how cute are these?! So these cookies are super yummy and if you or anybody you know is learning or wants to learn some Spanish or English these help out! The have the English word on top and the Spanish on the bottom with the picture of whatever it is in the middle. I ate one but my daughter ate the rest. She's too little to read what they said but she did like the pictures on them!

Next we have the Inka Corn by Inka Crops

The flavor of these was sea salt and vinegar. It wasn't too much of a kick like the salt and vinegar chips but it was really good. It reminded me of Corn Nuts. If you like those and sea salt and vinegar then you will love these!

Next up is the PB thins by Bell Plantation

First off, I knew the company Bell Plantation because I always hear people saying they put PB2 in their pre-workout smoothies. Anyways these taste like little peanut cookies. More so peanuts than peanut butter. I love them and will probley buy them soon! Yummm

Now we have the Lemon Burst Cookies by HomeFree

These were pretty good. The lemon taste is subtle at first and as you chew gets stronger. I really enjoyed these. Very crunchy, yummy cookies. And for all of you gluten free readers these are GLUTEN FREE. YAY

Now we have the Spinich and Kale corn chips by The Better Chip

I was not expecting to like these AT ALL. But, you can't knock it til you try it and these are actually good! Surprise. I have never had kale before but i do like spinach in my salads. Who knew i would like them in my chips! I feel good eating these rather than other chips because these are good for everybody. If i can find these at my local store I'm going to try them and the other flavors! 

Next we have the Hibiscus Creamed Honey by Vintage Bee

 At first I was not sure what i was going to do with this. Do I put it on some toast? Do i drizzle it on my fruit. Then it clicked. I added this into my morning smoothie and it gave it the nicest sweet flavor. I'm not sure if i will purchase this in the future but it was nice to try

Last but not least is the Pink Guava and Coconut Fruit Ice by Smooze!

This is a freeze squeeze type of thing so i had to put it in the freezer. I love coconut and thought this was SO yummy. My daughter pretty much ate all of it and made a huge mess but not before i got a taste. I would totally try this again!

Okay so Love with Food is definatly a keeper. I loved the variety and how many snacks i got. There was something for all of my family. They have a tasting box which is $12 for month to month and gets cheaper if you buy multiple months. Their Deluxe plan is $19.95 a month and also gets cheaper if you buy multiple months. And they have the Gluten-Free box which is $29 for month to month but gets cheaper the more months you buy. 

Each box you get makes a donation to help stop hunger in America. It really is awesome and i think you should at least try it once!

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

Next up we have the BalancedGuru organic farm a ceuticals Sytle me roots to end hair oil

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

Next up is NUXE paris face cleansing and makeup remover gel

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!

Last we have Jesse's Girl Brown Sugar Eye Dust

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! 

Next up we have the BellaPierre lip and cheek stain.

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!

Next up we have CoolWay Glow oil treatment 

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

Next up we have the Styli-Style Blush Highlighter Stick

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

Next we have the Dermalogica AgeSmart Multivitamin Hand and nail treatment.

]

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

Last we have Coastal Scents Classic/Synthetic Brush

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
