IPSY ~ May 2014
IPSY for May was another FAB box for me. The theme: “Fresh Picks.”
I must say I do like the bag. It’s a sturdy cute canvas bag. No plastic/vinyl crap!
SWISSCO ~ Electroplated Eyelash Curler. IT’S PURPLE! YaY! 🙂
Pacifica ~ Coconut infused Mineral Eyeshadow Duo #1 (Celestial & Opal). I so love these colors! I love Pacifica products and I am always happy to get them.
Boo-Boo Cover Up ~ For your BODY. Fabulous ingredients! Contains aloe, chamomile, green tea, tea tree oil and vitamin E. Medium shade matches most skin tones.
Hang Ten ~ Classic Sport SPF50 Sunscreen. It will fit nicely in my go bag.
Eva NYC ~ Therapy Session Hair Mask. Uhhh I like the smell?
I don’t think I’ve mentioned this before, but IPSY always offers discounts on all products in your page. I mean, if you buy the full size item.
I paid for this bag and all opinions are mine. There are referral links in this post. ~D
Birchbox ~ May 2014
Birchbox is a monthly subscription service for $10, where you get 4-5 handpicked samples to try out before going out and buying full sized products.
This month’s theme was “Freewheeling”. In addition to our box we got a $25 off $75 purchase at Kate Spade’s Saturday store. SUPER cute stuff but way out of my budget. :-/
Nexxus ~ Color Assure Pre-wash Primer, Shampoo & Conditioner. NICE sample size. I just might have enough for my hair!
Marcelle ~ BB Cream Golden Glow. Ehh I’m still not into BB creams. There was also a coupon for a free gloss cream with purchase from their site.
Pixi ~ Shea Butter Lip Balm. FULL SIZE! It looks scary pink, but there was no color. It’s a keeper!
Supergoop! SPF 30 cream. *yawn*
*Lifestyle Extra*
SmartyPants ~ Adult Fiber Gummie for weight loss. It tasted pretty good.
Sooo yeah, this month was a total MEH for me. ‘Nuff said.
