Summer 2014 Luxe Box

I came home the other day to find my Luxebox.  Now, it wasn't a total surprise as I had peaked online to see what I was getting.  To be honest, I was pretty disappointed.  There were two foil pack samples being included in my "Luxe" box.  Not cool guys-- I could have got that for free at Shoppers...

Sephora 500 Points: Living Proof

I am crazy protective of my Sephora points.  With few exceptions (like their usual triple points on fragrance for Mothers Day promo) each point represents $1 of real money spent.  I try to use my points to get new products I am interested in, and classic favourites so I can save money when I run out. This...

July Ipsy Spoilers and Wish List

I will be updating this post as spoilers are released so check back! I was an Ipsy subscriber last year and while I enjoyed being a member, near the end I found brands repeated and repeated, and low quality items creeping in.  One of the reasons that I left was that I had received Be a Bombshell products...

Babylips!

I have always been a big fan of Maybelline's Babylips.  They are simple, and fun, they taste fantastic, and keep my lips moist.  Generally they go for $5.99 but can often be found on sale.  What's not to love? There are three collections, Baby Lips, Baby Lips Electro (the neon collection),...

Smashbox Telephoto 3 in 1 Face Brush and Bonus Items

WhenI first saw this brush at Sephora I knew I had to have it.  I did my research online, I felt the brush, and it seemed perfect.  I asked the ladies at Sephora to do my make-up with it at two separate stores, and neither had a "tester" brush.  While that put me off a bit, I have always been...

Julep: Laree and Maren

Looking back, I probably should have done the full upgrade on May's Fresh Twist collection.  I love every single colour that I have from it...and I have all but one or two.  When I first saw Laree I was underwhelmed.  It seemed like just another pink.  But when the beauty blog world started...

Julep Memorial Day Mystery Boxes 1 and 10

 Generally Julep's Mystery Boxes are a total and complete waste of money.  Generally they use the boxes to push out old, unwanted and quite frankly ugly polishes.  I haven't taken a Mystery Box since the end of last summer.  However, I was drawn to ordering a few of these boxes because they...

Julep Maven July: The Poolside Collection

Yesterday Julep's Poolside Collection was revealed.  Mavens will get to select their boxes over the next few days.  This month is exciting for me because it is my first month with "My Maven" which means I get to customize to get the exact box I want.  Unless I want to swap in the Body Polish....
