So, as you can see I've gone red. I don't mean auburn, or strawberry or Nicole Kidman... I MEAN RED... primary red, "you can't buy this in a box at Walgreens" red. I love it. It's fun and funky and well... yeah.
You might have noticed that I have not posted any of my monthly beauty box posts in a while. I've been busy and distracted and well... lazy?
That being said, here are a few of the ones I have received since November.
I'm starting with BeautyBox 5 in November. This box is the reason that I cancelled BeautyBox 5. I'm not even linking to them because it sucked so bad.
Some random crap in a net baggie but what stood out the most was the CETAPHIL lotion.... REALLY???? For the cost of this entire box, I could have gone to Walgreens and bought a giant bottle of this crappy lotion. CUHANCELLED!
Now, here is BeautyBox 5 for December. Yup, you read that right. They sent me another box after I cancelled. I went back and checked and I did indeed cancel, removed my card, hadn't been charged but they sent me another box anyway. This means I can't really complain about this box HOWEVER, had they sent me this box in November I would not have cancelled. You see that little brush there? I've been meaning to buy another one JUST LIKE THAT ONE for months now and I never think about it until I am using it in the morning and then by the time I get around to it, I have forgotten but they sent me one so YAY! A nice brush, a full sized pretty eyeshadow powder and some other random stuff that I will use. Maybe I'll sign back up again. We'll see if they send me another free box in January. :D
Now, here comes Ipsy for December! Y'all know I loooooooooove Ipsy (formally known as MyGlam).
A whole slew of products I'm going to use:
Sweet eyeliner pencil, eyebrow gel, GORGEOUS lip gloss, nail polish and Meet Matt eyeshadow in a great color! I love theBalm products!!!
I was also VERY happy with November's bag but I've used most of the products and the bag they came in is being used in my shiny new purse. :D
Now, here's a new one for the month of December.
It's Beauty Bar - Sample Society. Sounds all hoity-toity and they have that right. The samples they sent me were pretty high end compared to other sample boxes. I'll probably use most of this but Murad, Philosophy and the Vapour Organic lipgloss in a gorgeous color stick out the most!
I also signed up for Glossy Box. They ship out mid-month so I'm still waiting for my December box to get here. I'm guessing it will be Monday and I'll update when I get it. I did some sneak peeking around the website to get a hint of what comes in this month's box. We'll see how pleased when I get it. It seems sorta "meh" but you never know!
This concludes 2 months of beauty boxes crammed into one post.
I ended up cancelling my Birchbox and got my December box the next day and OF COURSE they sent a full size lovely lip gloss in THAT one. UGH. Might sign up for Ipsy though, heh.
ReplyDeleteI've never gone wrong with Ipsy... I LOVE that they send their products in the cutest ever makeup bags. I have so many makeup bags now that I started giving them away. LOVE LOVE LOVE Ipsy!!!
DeleteI'm hoping glossybox comes today!
I'm loving Ipsy. I've liked pretty much everything I've gotten. I'm glad you steered me in that direction.
ReplyDeleteI got my first glossybox today and I gotta say...not impressed. At All. I'm giving them another month before I decide to keep it or not.
I just signed up for one that looks really, really promising based on the couple of unboxings I saw on youtube. It's $22 a month. http://www.lipfactoryinc.com/ I really can't wait for this one based on what they listed for the last few month's boxes. Lots of good stuff.
