November Beauty Subscription Boxes *REVIEW*

When the first of the month rolls around I can't help but to feel all giddy inside!
I have been an Ipsy subscriber for a year now, beautybox5 I've been with for about four months and this month was my first box from Birchbox.

What I love about these beauty subscriptions is that I get to try a handful of products for 10-12 dollars a month (each) so one product pays for the whole bag! You really cannot beat that! I  have found so many companies that I fell in love with and I would not have known about them without these beauty subscriptions. To name a few would be pop beauty, be a bombshell, jcat... the list could go on and on.

Ipsy:10.00 a month
What you get: a makeup bag and 5 beauty products to try. Once you try your products review them and earn points, which can buy you more products! They also have something called : "IpsyME" they offer products at a discounted price just for ipsy members. I will show you what I received this month.

From left to right: Be a bombshell cosmetics eye base in the color submissive, IT cosmetics bye bye under eye full coverage anti-aging waterproof concealer in neutral medium, Temptu highlighter in pink pearl, J-cat wonder lip paint in the color red potion and the last product I received was Marc Anthony oil of morocco argon oil volume shine hairspray 

*Bombshell eye base: this is a light gold shimmery base that looks great alone or under eyeshadow
* IT cosmetics concealer works great under the eyes and or covering pimples scars etc..
*Temptu highlighter: I'm not sure about this product I used it one time and it left a streak so I will have to watch a video on it and see if I'm using it correctly. It is a liquid so its a new concept to me.
*J-cat lip paint is a great product its a bit dark for me but I like it, I wish it was a matte stain I'm thinking of maybe blotting and putting powder over it so it will be. but a great product either way.
*Marc Anthony hairspray leaves a soft hold with a light scent.

                          And for the Ipsyme event that I scored last week for $18
 
This was such a great deal and I love all of these products!

Beautybox5:$12.99

I love this whole entire box also!
What you get: from left to right, DenTek floss picks&case, dove deep moisture body wash, HASK macadamia revitalizing shine oil, L'Oreal Paris nail color, Laura Ashley body butter,  This box is a bit more than the other two at 12.99

*DenTek floss& case is such a great product I toss these in my bag for when I'm on the go.
*Dove deep moisture body wash smells great and leaves my skin soft.
*HASK macadamia revitalizing shine oil is such a great product I love to rub this on the ends of my hair while wet.
*L'Oreal nail polish this gold color is gorgeous! it dries fast and has just enough sparkle
*Laura Ashley body butter smells great and leaves my skin soft.


and my first box so far... Birchbox! $10.00


What you get: from left to right (back, The balm cosmetics cindy lou manizer highlighter, Dr Jart ceramidin cream,
Gilchrist & Soames Spa Therapy body wash, Amika perk up dry shampoo,Juice Beauty green apple peel, and Jusin's chocolate almond butter

*The balm highlighter is such a pretty color I fell in love with it when I first swatched it!
*Dr Jart ceramidin cream smells great and keeps my skin bright looking and moisturized.
*Gilchrist and Soames body wash smells great!
*Amika perk up dry shampoo : I was really hesitant to try this because all dry shampoos leave a nasty white residue on my hair and make my hair feel dirtier than what it was to begin with. With this product I didn't get that feeling and it smells so good
*Justin's chocolate almond butter was delicious!!! I ate it by myself and with my apples mmmm!

Ipsys May Glam Bag REVIEW

I love love love this months bag. I was excited when our bag was the bright colored chevron print!
I did end up trading my bronzing lotion and nail polish with my friend since i do tan and i already have a few nude polishes.

I really fell in love with the macadamia natural oil healing oil treatment. I thought it would make my hair greasy but its so soft and goes on really easy. ( my beauty confession: i even use it to moisturize my hands, and the scent is amazing!)

I also received a concealer in the color of buff from yaby. It matched my skin color really well and worked very good at hiding my flaws (a girls best friend in my book!)
The last item i received was a lip gloss in the color "fig" from juice beauty. I really love juice beauty's products, they're organic,they smell great and work really well also ( i have a facial refreshing spray from last months bag i think, i love it as well) The color is pretty and it isn't sticky and messy feeling and it smells like lemon!

I am impatiently waiting for next months bag! Thanks for reading!

November Glam Bag

Hello and Happy December! :)
I know this blog is long over due but unfortunately, I have been sick for the past few months. I'm sure you have read in my previous posts that I've been sick. All of these allergies and colds have finally turned into Bronchitis and Ive been miserable but now I'm getting better WOOOHOO :)
Anyways...
Here is the November Glam Bag I received from www.ipsy.com



In the November bag I received meet matt(e) eyeshadow in matt batali from the BALM,  Benefit they're real mascara,Starlet cosmetics eye pencil (in black), BareMinerals Marvelous Moxie lip gloss in Dare Devil and Nailtini nail lacquer in Millionaire

This was my first time subscribing and I really love all the products I received. At first i didn't like the eyeshadow but i found a good use for it. Now I like to use it for my eyebrows and as a liner under my eyes.

This picture i only have the meet matt(e) on my eyebrows


This picture I'm wearing the lip gloss and meet matt(e) eyebrows and eyelids.

I really love the nail polish and the eyeliner goes on so smooth. For only 10.00 a month it is truly a great deal. I have to say that I am very excited to see what they have planned for the December bag.

What are your must have beauty products this holiday season?

Thanks for reading
XoXo, Phelicia :)
