MARCH POPSUGAR MUST HAVE BOX

REFERFRIEND5 Promo Code
pop sugar march box












I just got home from a horrid trip to Costco and found this waiting for me! yay! My March Pop Sugar Box! I love random stuff way more than the next person and unveiling beauty boxes is about as good as it gets. 

Heather Belle | Signature Tassel Necklace Estimate value $75ish
This necklace is in gold and sparkly and just what I don't need but absolutely love! I don't know who this Heather Belle is but I checked out her website and I'm into the style. 

The Laundress | Wool & Cashmere Shampoo in Cedar MSRP $18.99
I am excited to try this which sounds stupid but the only chore I like to do is laundry and since I usually throw all my delicates in with whatever else needs washing this may be just what I need to motivate separation. 

Corkatoo | Corkscrew MSRP $15.99
This is so freaking adorable I could scream. I don't drink but I may just keep this around for the sake of being so cute.
Buxom | Sculpted Lash Mascara MSRP $19.00
I love Buxom lipgloss to death but I am not crazy about their mascara. 

Hollywood Fashion Secrets | Sweater Saver MSRP $5.99
Need this. 

The New Black Nail Polish | in Havoc MSRP $10.00
I squealed so loud when I saw this, by bf came running to make sure I was okay. These colors are both spot on in my style for spring. I was literally just about to order these same colors from Sephora today. 

Extras - As Pop Sugar likes to do they threw in some cheap candy (peeps) which I cannot figure out and a couple double sided tape samples which I may need someday but most likely not as I don't see myself going to a black tie affair anytime soon. 

This is my second Popsugar Box and I'm happy thus far. I like the quirky array of things and it's stuff I'd never really think to buy, or intend to buy but don't ever get around to it. I am so excited about the necklace and the nail polish and would have been happy with just those two items so the others are just extra.

The Shimmering Spring Trend


Colored metallic hues have been making a big splash at the Spring runways and fashion week. Tangerine and Emerald -metallic driving coats, colorblock everything from slacks to trench coats and accessories in metallic shades galore. As always accessories are going to be what set you apart from the rest. For Spring try envelope clutches, small colorful crossbody purses and platform sandals.

For fashion finds in the hottest hues and metal accents try Little Black Bag for this emerald green bag by Steve Madden. It's so fun to trade until you get the perfect fix!


One of my other favorite sites for cheap thrills is 6pm a sister site of Zappos. This adorable clutch is such a great deal!

Hautelook is a sample sale site and out of all the great ones out there, it;s my favorite. Shipping is reasonable and their prices are unbelievable. This floral pump, $18. I love spring!

Birchbox February 2013 - Dermablend & Juicy Couture


FEBRUARY 2013

February manages to pack a slew of big-ticket events into a brief 28 days—from the Super Bowl to the major awards shows. That’s why we’ve loaded your box with an assortment of products worthy of the red carpet. 
I definitely liked this box. Birchbox asks for your beauty profile and after getting concealer that was right for my skin color, perhaps they take it into consideration. Awesome! The candle smelled yummy, I will likely purchase again. I was in love with the dermablend concealer! Great coverage and staying power! I use Juicy Couture perfume and I love getting samples of new scents. This one is no different, smelled fruity, floral and sexy all at once! I don't use a leave in conditioner but it can't hurt! This had a lovely scent and didn't weight my hair down. 

The only miss in the box in my opinion would be the lip/nipple balm. It freaked me out and I wasn't really sure what to do with it. 

Overall, I give this a 4/5 stars! Sign-up here!

Ipsy February 2013


My Bag:
photo 12 660x495 Disappointed in Ipsy: February 2013 {review}
In my bag, 5 products. 
Coast Scents Shadow Palette Sample: This is the second time I have received these eye shadows and I'm not a fan. 
Pixi Flawless & Poreless Primer: More primer?! I have literally received 10 primers from various places in the last couple months and I don't even use primer under my make-up!
POP Beauty Smokey Lash Kapow Mascara: This mascara smeared within hours and did nothing good for my lashes. 
Mica Beauty Gel Eyeliner: I don't like gel eyelner and the last thing that I need is yet another black eyeliner. 
Lash Card: I don't get these. How in the world am I supposed to use this while applying mascara? 
Not the best bag but I do love Ipsy most the time so I'll hang in there. 

Glossybox February 2013 - International Beauty

Okay so I am just now posting about my Glossybox February because I just got it! This happens every month, I get the e-mail that my box is on the way about the last day of the month. It irks me but I'm dealing, Glossybox is still one of my favs!



The theme- Glamorous girls everywhere are packing for a jet-setting tour of fashion weeks around the world. From New York to London to Milan to Paris, fashion is theater at the season‘s most anticipated shows. In this box, you‘ll find a complete bevy of beauty products to get you through a fashionable day – from cleanser and skincare to prep before making an appearance, to pops of color for face and nails to stand out from the crowd!

And the Product Reviews!


LISI LIQUID LINE EYELINER


The perfect liquid liner, in all the right shades including deep shimmers, and some with added sparkle. Our felt tip applicator makes lining your eyes a snap.

I got this eyeliner in bronze. I am not typically a glitter eye liner wearer as I am a bit past that phase of my life but decided to give this a try. It wasn't too shimmery but eyeliner went on uneven and I ended up looking like I'd played in someone else's make-up. The product is pretty cheap at less than $7 and I felt the quality showed. 


BVLGARI EAU PARFUMÉE AU THÉ BLANC SOAP

Calming, serene and intimate, it is a luxuriously elegant expression of sensory pleasure. The Eau Parfumée au thé blanc notes in a soft and rich lathering soap for men and women, that cleanses the skin while hydrating it.
This smelled amazing and was very moisturizing, the price is way to steep for my pocketbook at $30 for a full size. The sample I got was about $8. 

EVOLOGIE ESYSTEM DUO PACK INTENSIVE BLEMISH SERUM & STAY CLEAR CREAM
EVOLOGIE® INTENSIVE BLEMISH SERUM: Doctor developed, patent pending, formulation deeply penetrates the skin to quickly clear blemishes at the source. Prevents and removes unsightly spots caused by acne. EVOLOGIE®
This didn't do much but it did seem to dry out blemishes a bit. I got a full size at $15. 

DA VINCI SHIMMER POWDER

This versatile shimmering mineral powder is one of America’s best kept beauty secrets. Made from the highest quality ingredients, it gives your face a subtle glow when you apply with an eye shadow or blush brush.
I got the brown shimmer and it was beautiful! I have dark brown eyes so it was perfect for me! Again a full size at $15. 

NAIL ROCK NAIL WRAPS
Take a walk on the wild side and embellish your nails with these fashion forward nail wraps designed to last up to 10 days. With no chipping or drying time, no wonder it is the current favorite of beauty bloggers everywhere.
These are so fun! They come in fantastic variations and stay for over a week! Yes! at $8.

My final take; this was a decent box, not my fav of all time. The price came in at over $50 and I only paid $21 so still a great deal!
