UnBoxing- February Julep Box

Hello! I'm back with another box! It's the Julep Box for February. I was very satisfied with this box. I was hoping to get some great stuff for February because it was the month of Valentine's Day! For this box I got to go into my account and pick and choose which items I wanted for this box. The choices I got were amazing. It was really hard to choose especially when I can only choose three items! But I was finally set on my picks and I couldn't wait to try them.

Julep Glow Highlighting Powder


 I gotta admit I'm not really fond of powders but I was especially excited for this one. Maybe it was the excitement of trying something new but I couldn't wait to try this one. When I did get to try this I was very impressed. It gave my face some sort of an illuminating look and I just thought it was amazing. I can't wait to continue using this powder. I'm so glad I got it in my box this month. 

Clean Slate Polish Corrector Pen and Nail Polish "Karissa"


These two were not originally in my box. I swapped two other items out and chose these two instead. I love red and when I saw the nail polish as an option I can swap out I chose it. It's such a beautiful color. The red is amazing and I love it! I am currently wearing it on my nails and I can't help but admire the beautiful color. The other product I have is pretty cool and innovative. A pen that can erase nail polish. I find this to be pretty amazing because I always mess my nails up when I polish it and having this handy dandy tool can really help freshen up my nails in just seconds. Overall, I really love these two products. 

Nail Polish "Hartleigh"


As you can read from the note I got this beautiful nail polish as a gift! I love this nail polish! This is such a perfect nail polish for Valentine's Day! It's so perfect as a coat for nail polishes and the hearts inside makes it look so pretty. I love it! 

Metamorphic Top Coat



Another gift that was given to me in the box! This is so awesome! The beauty of being a maven! I have not tried this yet but I can't wait to try and see what this is all about! The color of this polish looks so amazing. I am beyond happy about the products in this box! I love it! Thank you Julep for an amazing box this month!

Unboxing- January GlossyBox

Hello! I'm back with a new subscription box! This next one is called GlossyBox. This is a $21.00 monthly beauty subscription. The products are mostly deluxe/sample and full size beauty products. I've looked at past boxes for this subscription and I love what I saw. The products for this beauty subscription were top notches and I couldn't wait for it to come. 


I LOVE the packaging from glossybox. The products were packaged in a sturdy pink box. The box is nice enough that you can reuse it for something else. My box included 3 full size products and 2 deluxe/sample size products. The 3 full size products was a value of $51.00 already! I'm still utterly shocked that I only paid $21.00 for that. I'm super excited to share the products in the box. Lets get to it!


Kueshi Revitalizing Face Toner - $13.30 
I've never heard of this product in my life but I was willing to give it a try because first of all, it smelled so nice. The bottle felt kind of cheap but that's just my opinion. I am not a fan of toners but I wanted to give this one a go at it. The color of this toner looks amazing and the cleanliness of it was moderate. I might have to try this a little more to see the results of it but so far I'm liking it. One bad thing I would have to say is that if you use it near your eyes, be careful! This one really stung my eyes. 


Tarte Undercover Lover Bamboo Concealer Brush- $20.00
I haven't used this brush yet but I can't wait to try it. The bristles are so soft and nice. I have not tried any tarte brushes but tarte do have really nice quality make-up products so I'm excited to use this one.


Vichy Purete Thermale 3-in-1 One Step Cleanser- $19.50 (For Full Size) 
Sadly I didn't receive the full size product for this but a deluxe sample was fine with me. This was something new and I've come to like it. this product was named 2014's Best Cleanser for Normal Skin by Allure's Best of Beauty. It acts as a cleansing milk(never tried or heard of it before), toner, and make-up remover in one. How great is that. It smells nice and works wonderful. My face feels amazing and clean after using this product. This is definitely a 10 out of 10.


Lollipops Eye Pencil in Goodbye Moon- $17.70
Eyeliners is my one make-up product that I can't go without. I was so happy that I got an eyeliner in my box. I have never heard of this product before but any eyeliner I get my hands on I'm willing to try. The intensity I get from this eyeliner is phenomenal. I love the way it glides smoothly on my eyes. It's retractable so I don't have to sharpen it every time it's done. It's quite smudgable so if you want smoky sultry eyes this is a go to eyeliner for you.  


Skin&Co Roma TruffleTherapy Serum- $80.00 (For Full Size)
This was the smallest item I received in my box. It was something I've never used before so it was something new. I've only tried it once and I've stopped. Not that I didn't like it. I guess it was something new and I just wasn't use to it. The smell was different as well so I couldn't really make it last. It claims to do a lot so I'm probably going to have to give it a second try and see if I'll eventually come to like it or not. I'm always down to try new things so one more shouldn't be too bad. 

That's all for this post but I hope it wasn't too long or draggy. I recommend trying these subscription if you're into beauty products. You might just come across a product that can become your new favorite!
