My (Uninspiring) Birchbox | May 2015 (+rant)

Anybody else been feeling uninspired by recent Birchboxes?  I had such high hopes, thinking it would be just like the American box, but its the same few brands on repeat, the same drab colours, and the same general products.  I swear I will cancel once I get redeem all of my points for something...

Cetaphil Cleansing Cloths* (+giveaway)

Julep | The Deep End

Every month Julep releases a new collection of nail polish and beauty products.  While I personally find some collections to be a tad hit-or-miss, I was really thrilled with what came in the mail this month! The collection has a good mix of different finishes, but naturally I was attracted to blue,...

Benefit They're Real Mascara in Blue

Benefit is on fire this year!  First they released Roller Lash, which is by far my favourite mascara of all time, and then they decide to go ahead and release They're Real in two new shades: Blue and Brown.  The only thing that would be better is if they released Roller Lash in purple and blue!...

The Liebster Award is a tag has been floating around the greater beauty blogging community for the last little bit, and I was always a little tiny bit jealous when other bloggers would get tagged.

Julep's May collection was called "Set Sail" celebrating adventure, travel, and all things nautical. Add to that a new eyeshadow release (Feels Like Velvet) and some new Plush Pouts (renamed "Its Balm") and it is by all accounts a miracle that I only ordered two things. ...
