Author Archive

 

My Muse Box, is a brand new, (October is the first month) bimonthly beauty subscription box service. Every two months you’ll receive a hand picked selection of 5-6 of the latest trends in beauty products.

Price: $29.99 EVERY OTHER MONTH = $14.99/month

 

 

 

 

Hard Candy Eye Tattoo ($10): I have never heard of such a thing!  These are pretty wild shades,which would be fun for Halloween or a girls night out.

Smashbox Lip Enhancing Mega Gloss ($10.38)  The more lip gloss the better in my opinion!  It’s not sticky and goes on nice and evenly.

MD Formulations Face & Body Scrub, MD Formulations Critical Care & Prada Reviving Bio-Firm Concentrate / Face Samples:

Hamadi Lemon Mini Hair Wash ($9):  It’s got a minty smell and is a color protector shampoo.  I only wish they would have sent the conditioner too.  I really dislike getting only shampoo.

Beauty Sponge ($10): The texture on this is a tad different than on a Beauty Blender, but  from what I can tell, they work just about the same!  If you have never tried a beauty blender type sponge, I highly recommend it!

I am very impressed with my first Muse Box. I highly recommend it.

 

I stayed away from Little Black Bag for so long, but when I got a special offer I finally caved. I’m at the point of no return. I’m beyond addicted! It’s so fun trading items and it’s a rush when you get the “accept” screen – For me anyway. The products are wonderful quality and a lot of them are high end. Saving up to 70% off retail makes it all the sweeter.

The following pictures are from my last box ( # 4)

 

 

 

 

ArgentoSC Cocktail Ring. Lately I LOVE huge rings. They are just too much fun!

I promise to start sharing pictures of my haul as long as you don’t think I’ve fallen off my rocker. I mean, who doesn’t love shoes/jewels/handbags. (my next box)

Be sure to visit Little Black Bag and get hooked yourself.

We can’t help but gush about this amazing product by Fresh! A travel size version of the Lotus Youth Preserve face cream is included in every October Byrdie GLOSSYBOX! Make sure to order your October box before it’s too late, you don’t want to miss out on this great product:

 

November 2013  Julep Maven collection debuts five new colors of Julep Lip Gloss. We’re pretty excited about these around the office. First of all, they’re so, so shiny. Secondly, they feel really good on your lips–they’re soft and hydrating. Not sticky or peely. Lastly, we haven’t yet found a color combination of skin tone + lip gloss shade that doesn’t look excellent. Here are the shades:

Charming – sheer mauve
Daring — sheer bright red luster
Glowing — sheer light pink
Timeless – sheer nude
Posh — sheer black honey

Of course, every box will also include new nail polish shades for November! (We’ll get to see the new nail colors on the 20th). Sooo Sooo excited!!!
