July 2015 Ipsy Glam Bag Plus Reward

  
The theme for this month is "Summer Lovin' " such a fitting theme for the humid sunny weather!!! When I first saw the sneak peek for the bag I didn't have any are for it.  But when I got my hands on it, I love it!!! I like the canvas style and the colors are vibrant!
Product #1 is the Aurora Gel Effect Nail Lacqer in Alarm Fire color.  This is not as bright as I thought which is better! it's actually pretty and I want to paint my nails with it!
 its a pretty pinkish red color and it's on sales too for $7.99. 
Product #2 is the Octavio Sea Salt Spray and it is one thing I do not want and I always click dislike, will not buy, will not use, does not apply to me as part of the review and yet I see it in my bag along with leave in conditioner sprays! not happy! this item sales for $15.50 for the full size product which is 4oz and the sample is half of the full size is $7.75!? wow!
Product #3 is the Jelly Pong Pong 2 in 1 eyeshadow/eyeliner .10oz in the color bronze and its made from pure beeswax! this shadow/liner is $16.00!!! on its own website WOWZA! but i'm not sure how big is the full size product and I can't find it anyway on the site.  This looks like at least half the size of a full size product and a pretty good amount to me so I'm guessing this is about $8.00 worth.
item description "A uniquely formulated crayon that doubles as an eyeliner for thick, precise lines as well as a perfectly-blended eye shadow. The exclusive combination of Italian-formulated waxes and pigments allows you to build up the colour, smudge or create bold lines quickly and easily."
Product #4 is the Eau Thermale Avene Cleanance Gel Soapless Cleanser .84fl.oz I like it that its soap free and paraben free too! you can purchase this full size 6.76oz product for $20.00.   Which makes this a $2.50 sample.
Product #5 is the be a...bombshell lip balm in the color ruby.  This has a hint of color with some shine lip balm and no scent!!!! Which is a good sign for me because I remember one of their product is very chemically smelly.  this is a full size product for $14.00!!! well I will definitely not pay more than $2.00 for this because I do not care for this brand so I do not even know if I would want to pay for one.
My next item was redeemed thru Ipsy points for 500points!!! and this is a full size boscia 1.75oz/50g B.B. Cream Bronze Broad Spectrum SPF 27 PA++ oil-free  The only downside of this is that it expires on Aug 01, 2015!!! I don't think I can use all of this in such little time especially its quite dark too.  so I can probably use this mixed with something lighter or use it to contour which i am not good with.  i'll try to apply this to the whole face and see if i look natural or got a really good tan hehe.
All in all, this bag is surprisingly value at about $40!!!! wow!!! the value is definitely their but would I go and buy them? no.  but that's part of a subscription is that you get something good and something bad.  and this month's bag isn't bad since I will be using the nail polish, soapless cleanser and the lip balm.

Memebox July 2015

So Memebox has been through lots of changes since they stopped international shipping and the box prices have got up a lot too.  And my last box from them was back in January too and haven't shop much from their website.  I still get their emails with the promotions and read some of the boxes reviews too.  I just feels like its not the same as before with their boxes or products.  But they are having a $5 deal until 07/17/2015!!!! many products are $5 or lower! and I am thinking about buying some stuff since this is such a better deal than a $30 box of random stuff.  Click the below banner to check out the products! Memebox $5 Deals & Steals Sale
Many of the products are from $30 range marked down to just $5!!! brand including Dr. Jart, Banila Co., Too Cool for School, Lioele, etc.  Also,you can get free shipping over $30!

June 2015 PinchMe box

I recently got into PinchMe box and the best part of it its that it is completely free to try the samples!!! it does take awhile for the shipping but who cares when its free samples to try and all you have to do its to give them your honest reviews!  so below is my box full of products!  

  I got 6 products and a bunch of coupons to! by far this is one of the best box I've gotten!  
1) ZzzQuil 12 LiquiCaps!!!  --  These are great for my work when I can't fall asleep due to the odd working hours as a flight attendant so these are perfect for me!!!! Sometimes I have to work redeye flights and it is tough!
2) Berocca 2 Tablets -- 1 tablet has 1000mg of vitamin C!!! contains almost as much as a cup of coffee too! so this is almost like Airborne or Vitamin C drink mix that is full of vitamins and has 44mg of caffeine! woohoo!!! awesome for days at work that I cannot stay awake!
3) Secret Clinical Strength Invisible Solid Deodorant -- This is a great sample size .5 oz and again this is perfect for my work! small to store in my carry-on and its effective for freshness! 
4) Skinfix Hand Repair Cream -- I don't know if this box is curated for my job or not but this is amazing for my hands!  The water in the plane makes my hands super dry and this cream is the remedy! love it! 
5) Gold Bond Skin Therapy Cream -- Again this cream is great for traveling to moisturize my body especially sometimes the water from different places can dry out my skin.  This is a great product to have in my toiletry bag. 
6) Nutro Perfect Portions Cat Food  -- the only product I can't use for my job hahah.  however, my kitty loved it all! Maybe because normally she eats dry cat food and this is moist and tasty for her! well definitely get her more as a special treat or when we eat good she can eat good on occasion nights. 
I also got a $100 Wine Voucher to use online for $160 or more.  a $2.00 off ZzzQuil coupon, $2.00 off one secret clinical 1.6oz deodorant, $1.00 off on any Berocca 10ct and a $3.00 off skinfix skin care item at Target.  The cat food came with a BOGO free coupon but sadly it was alrady expired end of June and I got this box 3 days ago.
What do you think of PinchMe box?!?! its just great! if you are interested check out their website its www.pinchme.com and create your box!!! 

July 2015 3B Box

Hello everybody!!! Its been months since my last blog about the beauty boxes that I get because I got lazy and I'll be honest hehe.  The winter in Chicagoland area was way too long and dreadful so just didn't want to do anything.  But I think it's time to come back and share what I have been getting lately! 
 
This is my July 3B Box!!! this is a subscription that I subscribed back when they first started in December 2014 and it's been half a year and there are some great boxes and some that are just so-so.  it's a $12 a month including shipping and it ships second week of the month and its all base on Asian beauty products.  This is the first time I've seen an all SkinFood box! I have not tried any of the products before and it looks pretty good to me so far.  
   
A card detailing all the products for this month's box.
  
First item that I saw was this SkinFood Rice Mask Wash Off Pack and its a full size product!  I've spotted this online before and wanted to try!  so happy to get this in the bag.  I know that rice has a whitening agent too and its perfect for the summer season so I can still have fun in the sun/outdoor and my skin tone doesn't need to change too much.  this has great reviews on amazon and its average price is about $10 some with free shipping too! check it out yourself!
skin food black bean eye liner pencil #1(black)
SkinFood Black Bean Eyeliner pencil full size!   link to amazon on Amazon its for sale about $16.99!!!!! wow! they have other other colors for about half the price.  I remember the first eyelinger I got from 3B was from their very first box and it was a liquid eyeliner and it was a really nice one because it didn't smudge and it can create a very fine line too.  Getting eyeliner in boxes are very typical but its they are great ones I don't mind getting it every 6 months! at least they spread it out to include one as they do need to be change out periodically for hygienic reason.  This pencil does come with a smudger in one end so it looks good to me so far!  
  
The last two products are truly sample size but seeing that the first two are full size products it makes these feels like bonuses!  I will put these in my travel toiletry since I'm a flight attendant these little samples are great and easy to store for me to bring with on my layovers.  Hope they smell like apple! 
My overall verdict for this month's box is four thumbs up out of five.  I didn't give it all thumbs up its because I still have a lot of eyeliner pencils or liquid waiting to get used so this would not be a product I want to shop for but good to have for back ups.  I am happy to get such a high value for the box according the Amazon the two full size products are totaling $27!!!! and this box is only $12 a month.  I am very happy with the value and the products I got!  this is still one of my favorite subscription because of the Asian products I get that I can't really find even in the Asian stores.
