Autumn Time!!
Girlactik Pout Shine (Pretty) ($19) Kind of hesitant to try it, but I did anyway. Its a funky pink. The shade isn’t bad! It’s really moisturizing too. BIG bonus!
Ofra Lip Gloss (Orchid) ($12.95). I think I’ll pass. I don’t think this will work on me at all. Such a shame. I love OFRA products.
JCat Beauty Jar Eyeliner ($5.99) I have grown rather fond of JCat. I also love gel liner. It works well with me and I have no problems applying it. 😛 Came with a brush too ~ Angle Eyeliner Brush ($9.50)
ModelCo Eye Shadow Trio (Moroccan Spice) ($26) OH how I love these shades! I till totally use them ALL!
Total value of this FAB box is $73.44. This is one of my favorite boxes and the value is ALWAYS amazing. I usually always love everything in the box as well.

I paid for this box and all opinions are mine. ~D

Blue Velveteen ~ September 2014
Blue Velveteen is a new sub box launched in September.
PRICE $10/month.
You will receive five deluxe size or full size makeup or beauty products delivered right to your door.
The blue square is velvet. 🙂
I didn’t like that were was no note or card explaining what was in the box. Kind of felt thrown together.
Sexy Bath & Body ~ Lavender & Chamomile Calming Body Wash ($4.50)
Ciate ~ Mini Mani Polish (~$2) It doesn’t say what shade it is, but I like it.
NYX ~ Ultra Pearl Mania ($3) I like the shade whatever it is. It was cute that it was in a little blue velvet bag.
Macadamia ~ Nourishing Leave-In Cream (~$2) I love how this stuff smells!
Two small baking powder crunch face wash samples. I actually almost bought the full size from a Korean site. I’m glad I waiting in case it’s horrible.
I make the mistake of looking at other blogs. I’m not happy with this box right now. I paid for this box while others got it free with WAY more product. I even asked, as a blogger, for a box. No dice. I guess that’s just how it works. I mean, my blog is still small and I probably have 1 reader. THANKS MOM lol
Will I sub again? I’ll give them ONE more chance.

This is Memebox Superbox #51 Cute Wishlist 2. I missed 1 and still cry about it. LOL
Cost: $23 + Shipping (Box is sold out)
RoseMine ~ Perfumed Hand Cream (Hesperides) ($12)
Enriched with shea butter, rose water, argan oil, and mango seed butter, this hand cream delivers instant moisture and nutrition for healthy hands and nails. Not fond of the smell.
It’s Skin ~ Babyface Petit Blusher (Baby Rose) $7
Highlight and illuminate cheekbones and complexion with this blendable blush. It’s Skin products are sooo stinkin’ cute! The little powder puff with the bow looks like a bunny tail!
Sally’s Box Friendly ~ Berry Berry Lip Patch ($3)
Infused with various berry extracts rich in vitamin C, this lip mask hugs all the curves of your lips and enhance them for luscious and kissable lips. I am addicted to lip masks. This is a different one that I’ve used so I’m excited to try it.
SaintPeau ~ Collagen Pudding Sleeping Mask ($36)
This fun overnight facial mask is infused with 52% natural collagen to give you the look of radiant, more youthful skin. This jello-type collagen mask fills in lines and wrinkles and delivers deep, intense nourishment to the skin to help slow down the signs of aging. I love the piggy on the tub too! 🙂
The YEON ~ Style Y Fruity Swirl Lip Balm (Orange Twist) ($8)
This deep-sinking, conditioning lip balm melts across your lips for a dewy, kissable pout. Jojoba oil moisturizes and locks in hydration, and the non-greasy, never sticky formula has juicy flavor and hue that flatters every smirk. Not fond of Orange but it’s interesting enough to try it.
Evas ~Vitamin Cleansing Dessert (Berry Mix) ($18)
Completely removes makeup and impurities to give you the best down-to-the-pore clean feeling! Micro bubbles penetrate deep into the pores to extract blackheads, whiteheads, and all acne-causing bacteria to give you flawless skin. This smells yummy and has an interesting texture for a cleanser. It’s kind of like a thick, whipped cream. SO happy I got Berry Mix!
This box of UBER cuteness has a value of $84. Aside from the hand cream I will devour every product. If they ever restock I will get another!
