Glossy Box: $21 dollars a month

Theme: Bohemian Summer

Comment: I am not happy with the shipping of this product this month.  It is September 11th and I am just now getting my August box.  I hope they do a better job in the future.  

Sue Devitt Triple C-weed Pressed Powder in Quiet and Still - Value $28

This looks like a great powder and it is a good color for me.  However, I am not really into powders.  I don't like things that go all over my face.  

Jelly Pong Pong $18

This Lip blush looks to pink for me, but I found a way to make it work.  First it isn't as dark on as it looks.  Second, I wore pink and purple eyeshadow with it and it looked great. I usually just can't get a way with pink lips.

Amatomicals Spray Misty for Me Facial Spray $9

I will be honest I have never heard of facial spray before.  I sprayed it on my face and it smelled good.  I think it is suppose to refresh and moisturize your face. I don't know if it refreshed and moisturized or not.  But I will use it more to se if I like it.  

This is the thing I love about beauty boxes I have never heard of this stuff and if you told me about it, I would not go out and buy it.  However, I know get to try it for a couple of weeks and see if it is something I really like. 

Novex Brazilian Keratin Hair Care Treatment Cream $5.00

I think this is interesting, this is the second Brazilian Hair treatment I have received in a beauty box in the last few months.  I haven't tried this one, but I am excited to try it.  I had no hair treatment things and now I have two both from Brazil.  I am guessing that is the in thing now.

Airelle Intense Repair Complex $7.40

This is a small sample so I don't know if I will be able to tell how much it works.  However, I like the way it smells and feels.  I will defiantly use the whole sample.

Bonus Items from Guess

This cute denim make up bag.  Everyone knows I am a sucker for a good makeup bag. We also got a 30% off Guess purchase.

This bag was worth about $67.  I am torn about how I feel about the bag.  This is one that I really need some time to experiment with the products and see if there are any real heroes in the bunch.  If you are interested in purchasing Glossybox click here.

Theme: Adventure Ready

Cost: $20

LUXE City Guide Los Angels $10

I liked this guide, I don't know I will ever go to Los Angels.  I might buy one next time we go on vacation to an unknown location.

Ernest Suppliers Cooling Shave Cream $2.50

I think this sounds like a cool shaving cream.

Hanz de Fuko Quicksand $3.50

This says it is a medium hold styling product is  for a beachy look.

Vitamin Face & Body Cleaner $5.60

Leather Passport Case $40

This is a nice leather case to keep your passport in.  It would be more awesome if we had passports :-)

Year of Men's Health  $10  

The Birchbox people gave everyone a year of Men's Health. How great is that and if you don't want Mens Health they will send you a check for $10.

Well we paid $20 for the box and it was worth $81.60.  I think we defiantly got our money's worth.  I think my husband was underwhelmed this time. But as always we will see as he tries the products what he really likes.

FACE Stockholm - Lip gloss #19  $19

This is a pretty shinny pink.  It looks great on it's own to give just a hint of color and shine.  It is even better over a lipstick to give that shimmer look.

Micheal Marcus Mascara Black $24

This mascara does pass my eye test it doesn't seem to bother them at all.  This mascara works well, it would probably work better if I put 2-3 coats on like the instructions direct.  But I am more of a one coat girl. I like it and I am sure I will use the whole bottle.

Rainbow Honey Lumine Hall $10

I really don't like this polish and it is the second one I have gotten from Rainbow Honey.  I think I need to go look at my nail preferences and change the settings.  I don't like big hunks of glitter in my nail polish.  If you like that this is the brand for you because I tried the last bottle and this stuff has great staying power.

Japonesque Travel Smudger Brush $14.50

Okay, I haven't used it yet.  I need to find something to smudge or blend.  I love brushes and I don't have one like this yet.  So I am excited I got it.  

Caitlyn Linefix Gel Pencil Chocolate $17

This is my new favorite brown eyeliner.  I love it, it goes on smooth and easy.  It looks great and lasts all day!

Lise Waiter Ombre Souffle Supreme Sample $0

I love the soft texture of this eyeshadow.  It goes on easy with a finger tip and it is light.  This seems to stay well which is great because a lot of eyeshadow can dissipate quickly.

I paid $36 dollars for this box and got $84.50 worth of makeup plus a sample.  I really like everything except the finger nail polish so I am really happy.  I love makeup and it is great to get good quality products for such an expensive price.

Noya Lip Balm -Cherry  $3.99

I like this lip balm, it has a mild cherry smell.  It is clear which I like, and very moist.

Pacifica alight Multi-Mineral BB Cream - $5.44

I am not into BB cream but here is the description from the website.
The Alight Multi-Mineral BB Cream hydrates, primes, illuminates, and perfects leaving a sheer bare skin finish. Specialized mineral pigments instantly adjusts to your skin shade allows one color to work for many and can be built up for just the right amount of coverage. Your skin will look natural, dewy, youthful and radiant without looking like you are wearing heavy make-up

Michael Todd - Jojoba Charcoal Facial Scrub $10

I tried this the other day and it was great.  I like the way my skin feels after I use it.

Chella Eyebrow pencil in Dazzling Dark Brown $8.00

I tried this eyebrow pencil and it works really well. However, it is way to dark for my fair complexion. 

Pixi Lash Booster Mascara Blackest Black $8.00

This mascara works fine.  It doesn't give me the boost I really like for my pathetic eyelashes.  It might work better for people that have more to work with.  I have sensitive eyes and this mascara doesn't bother them.

Urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadow - Diamond Dog $20

I got this because I had two people sign up for ipsy this month.  I love this eyeshadow.  I want it in every color!  It is sparkly and pretty and lasts a long time.  Love, love, love!

I really liked my bag this month. I bought the bag for $10 and I got about $55 worth of beauty products. They eyeshadow is my favorite! If you are interested in ordering ipsy click here. 

Number 4 - Super Comb Prep & Protect  value $2

A sulfate free leave in conditioner that protects color and blocks UV rays. Mist evenly onto damp hair before styling.  I tried this, this morning and it worked really well.

TanTowel - Classic Formula self-Tan Towelettes  value $2.50

I don't use self-tan things.  So I probably won't use this one. 

Stila - Stay all day liquid lipstick value $6.60

This is a longlasting liquid lipstick that glides on like gloss put stays on like a stain.  This is to red for me.  I tried it and once you put it on it will be there for hours. I even tried makeup wipes to get it off, but you could still see it.  I would love this in another color.

Jasmine Seven - Fresh Feet Wipes  value $1

I wondered who would ever use a foot wipe.  Of course, two days later I had a need for one.  I was getting ready for bed and realized the bottom of my feet were dirty. I have white sheets and don't like to go to bed with dirty feet. So I grabbed these and they worked splendidly.

Coola- Classic Face SPF 30 Cucumber Moisturizer for Face  value $4.30

I haven't tried this yet, but I love that it has a 30 SPF.  I will probably use it once W's Cross Country meets start and I have to stand outside for a couple of hours every Saturday. 

Overall I think this box is worth about $16.40.  I paid 10 dollars for it.  The tan towel I won't use, but I like everything else.  I have to wear a gloss over the Stila to calm down the color a little.  I am happy with my box this month.  Are you happy with your box?  What did you get?  If you are interested in signing up click here.  

Sexy Hair Soy Renewal Beach Spray value $6.70


This is a texturizing hair product.  It is suppose to give you that beachy look. It works well, but the next day I can't wait to wash my hair.  Since I have fine thin hair this works great and it is not heavy.

 Nailtini Nail Lacquer in Mai Tai  Value $12

This coral color I love.  I haven't tried it out yet but it seems pretty in the bottle!

California Collection Eyeshadow Trio from bh Cosmetics value $3

This is a trio of eyeshadows.  I love the colors, they are colors I use all the time.  I can't wait to try them out!

Coola Mineral Sunscreen Tinted Moisturizer Value $5


I don't use tinted moisturizer so this isn't something I would use.  I think it is great for people that want a light foundation on their face. It has an spf of 20 which I love in a moisturizer. 

Pop Pouty Pop Crayon in Coral Crush $5

I love this crayon.  I don't think I would have ever tried lip crayons if it wasn't for beauty bags, but I love them and this one doesn't disappoint.

OPI Nicole by OPI Selena Gomez Nail Lacquer, Pretty in Plum $6.70

I got this as an extra for referring friends.  I really wanted the urban decay eyeshadow.  This color purple really isn't my thing.  However, my six year old loves it and has already worn it.  

Theme this month was Beach Beauty

Cost: $10

Worth: $38

This bag was hit and miss for me.  I really like the eye shadow and the lip crayon.  The moisturizing tint is something I would never use, but I still think it was totally worth the money. If you are interested in getting an ipsy bag click here.

Oscar de la Renta Essentials Luxuries Fragrance Samples Value $5

This is a nice set and the packaging is great.  They have included every sent from this new collection.  However, I am just not a perfume person and all the  sents together in the box give me a headache.  

Philip B. Detangling Toning Mist Value $10

I used this and I like it.  It works well and I like the smell.  However, I use Beauty protector on my girls which is a detangler and I like it better. I will use this especially on vacation since it is travel size. 

C. Booth Honey Almond Nourishing Dry Oil Mist –  Value $4

Okay I have never used a product like this before so it was new to me.  I think in general that is one reason to buy beauty boxes.  I am not sure how I like it, it seems weird to me to put oil on my face.  It doesn't leave my face greasy and I like the smell.  I am not fond of the artificial color.  I wish manufactures didn't feel like everything needed to be colored. 

Tarte Complexion Brightening Lipstick Value $14.50


Okay this is a lipstick that combines a pink with a neutral.  I thought it looked weird, but I was still excited to try it.  I really like it.  It isn't to pink because the neutral tones it down a little.  I thought this was a fun product and I will defiantly wear it.

SpaRitual Nail Polish in Death by Chocolate Value $12


I like this nail polish it is a pretty brown that I will actually wear.  However, I don't think I will try it until fall, brown is more of a fall color to me.  Some people got the color wine and roses which I love !  Wish I would have got that color, it is also a fall color to me. 

This was the Dallas Shaw box, everything in it was chosen by her.  If I am honest with you I have no idea who she is, I guess I could google her.  I don't think we have the same tastes.  I don't hate anything in this box, but I wasn't wowed either. The box cost $21 dollars and It had $45.50 worth of products.  It was a good deal and I did really like the lipstick and I will totally use the nail polish and the detangler.  If you are interested in buying glossy box click here.

I got a deal on a wantable box.  I was so excited because I have wanted to try it out.  For the most part I loved the box.  Wantable does a very in-depth questionnaire so that you get things you might really like.  They also give you full sized products.  However, I did not like the lip color I received and I got two lip products.  I went back to review my questionnaire to see if there is anything I could do to make sure I don't get pink again. I was shocked to find out I had put I wanted pink and not orange.  Well all I wear is coral or peachy lip colors so that was totally my fault! I changed my questionnaire :-)

Lise Watier - Haute couleur High Coverage Lip Lacquer - Rose vintage - $22

I have already said the color is not for me, however this is a cool product.  The case has a mirror on it and the wand for the lip gloss lights up.  This is great for reapplication at night! It goes on smooth and has great coverage also.

Lise Watier - Ombre Souffle Supreme Vert Enchante - 24

This is a really shinny grey cream eye shadow.  I like it, it is a little dark so I can only use it on the bottom eye lid.  It is easy to spread with an applicator or your finger. 

Rainbow Honey - Nail Lacquer - A little Kindness $10

I really didn't think this was something I would use.  It is a very light almost clear polish with glitter.  However, I realized the other day that my nail polish was starting to show wear and I didn't have time to redo it.  So I grabbed this and put a coat over my exciting nail polish.  You can no longer see the wear on my fingernail polish and it looks great.  I may use this often to hide munged or chipped polish.

Besame Cosmentics -Classic Color Lipstick Champagne $22

This lipstick is also the wrong color. It is a full coverage lipstick and is enhanced with vitamins.  I love the case and the velvet pouch that comes with it. 

Cailyn - Gel eyeliner - Black $21

Yes, I got another one of these free!!!  I got this eyeliner in "Iron" from Ipsy.  It is my favorite eyeliner ever.  Even though I don't usually wear black I am still super stoked to get this.  I even wore black eyeliner yesterday. It goes on really smooth and is easy to put on.  It also stays all day!

I did like this box.  I got the things I really like and somethings that I have never tried.  The only real misses were the lip colors and as I have said that was my fault.  I got $99 worth of makeup and this box is normally $36. I also received an Apothederm Serum Sample. Has anyone else received a Wantable box, if so what did you get?  If you are interested in trying Wantable click here. 

I love, love, love Ipsy glam Bags!  I can't wait to see the bright pink bubble wrap envelope in the mail box each month! I always love getting new makeup bags.  This month is leopard print with bright green trim.  Ipsy is only $10 a month and worth every penny if you are interested in signing up click here. 

NYX - Mosaic Powder $7.00

This is really a blush, which I don't use very often.  But I really like it, I am also going to try it as an eyeshadow there are so many different shade in it. 

J. Cat Sparkling Cream Palette $4.49

  I thought this was eye shadow when it came, but turns out it is not. You can use it as body glitter or hair glitter.  I am not sure how I am going to use it, but I am sure I will find a way :-)

Starlooks Lip Pencil $12


It worked fine, nothing to shout about.  However, it was kind of a mauve color and that doesn't work with my skin tone.  Maybe my mom would like it. 

Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter Pencil $18.00

I have heard of Highlighter pencils and always wanted to try one.  However, I have never wanted to shell out the money for one.  I will have to look up online how to use it.  But I am excited to learn!

Cailyn Line-Fix Gel Eyeliner $21

Confession time, when I got my bag I took a picture of the three products I didn't expect to have much to say about. I figured one picture of all three would do.  However, I LOVE the Cailyn eyeliner.  It is probably my favorite product I have ever gotten in a subscription box. It goes on so smooth and lasts all day.  I even love the color I got, Iron.  I love it so much I ordered it in another color too, shhh!

I paid $10 for my bag and I got $62.49 of beauty products Woo Hoo!  I really love some of the products too. I think Ipsy is the bomb and I can't wait to see what I get next week.  If you are interested in ordering ipsy bags click here.

The glasses were totally not his style.  The bar soap is nice and he is using it already.  I am sure he will try all the products in the box.  
Sorry this was such a bad review this time.  This is hubs box and it didn't occur to me to review it until later.  I took a quick picture and didn't realize it didn't come out either.  Next month I              will do way better :-)
