Fall 2013 Luxebox: LouLou Edition

Yay!  It arrived!  I have been especially looking forward to receiving this box.  It only ships 4 times per year, but given the quality that I received I am really not complaining!  Upon opening the standard brown shipping box I was created by this lovely little surprise.  Feeling the...

Costco Run #win

Last week I went to Costco with my dad to pick up a few things.  I know Costco sells massive shampoo bottles, but I didn't think they sold my massive shampoo bottles. Well, look at this! Please forgive my in store iPhone photo.  But look! 1L of Marc Anthony Oil of Morocco Argan Oil Shampoo 400...

Make Up Forever: Smoky Extravagant Mascara

A few weeks ago at Sephora, I tried to pick up my usual mascara, Smashbox's Full Exposure Mascara ($22 at Sephora), but it was gone.  None left.  At all.  Not wanting to leave in bitter disappointment, and not wanting to have naked eyelashes (well, that's a lie- I have so, so, so many sample sized...

Boho Glam or Classic With a Twist? Selecting my November Julep Box!

Ever since becoming a Julep Maven I have a new found excitement for the 20th of every month.  That's right!  Time to select my box! This month's theme is "Right at Home" which immediately conjured up images of Glade scented air freshener, Bath and BodyWorks candles, and Christmas. With the spoiler,...

Babylips

I already own three Babylips lip balms, but hey, they're versatile, forever useful, and on sale! Although I am not nearly as obsessed with them as I was with Lip Smackers when I was 13 (my introduction to make up if you will), they really do fill my modern day need for a lip product that leaves my lips soft...

Ipsy October 2013

My Ipsy bag finally arrived.  When I got home on Friday my tracking told me it had arrived.  Sadly, there was no hot pink bubble package waiting on the counter for me.  After dinner the door bell rung, and our new neighbour was standing there with my package.  Some how, after correctly arriving...

Luxe Box Upgrade?

Luxe box just released their first optional upgrade for Winter 2013.  For an extra $12 (on top of the $26 you already pay) you can upgrade to the Zoomer Box.  But  I think I will take a pass. Photo Credit: www.loosebutton.com Products Included: CND VINYLUX | Weekly Polish System - Top...

Body Shop Discount!

A few days ago I renewed my Love Your Body card from The Body Shop because they had a free $10 gift with renewal (which costs $10) making it revenue neutral.  I got a mini Honey Body Butter (which has the same rich texture as all of their other boy butters but a lovely, light floral scent) and a mini...

Topbox November 2013, Wishlist

This will be my first top box, and I am pretty excited! I got an email today from Topbox asking my to fill out my wish list. The way this works is that you can select how ever many boxes you would like.  Topbox randomly selects who receives the special boxes, and if you receive a special box it will be...

Honey by Marc Jacobs

Sephora 500 Point Gift Photo Credit: Maple Lead Beauty As I am sure you know, every dollar spent at Sephora equals one point. Often the 500 point gifts seem unattainable, but are more than worth it to save up for. Disclaimer: I actually got this 500 point gift for free because I was not notified of a Sephora...

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to my (new!) blog.  I have never tried something like this before, however after following a few different ones, and hearing from my friends how well I know makeup, I have decided to start my own.
