Ipsy July 2013 Sneak Peeks and Spoilers! Updated!

Updated!

The Glam Rooms have been open!

These are the goodies we will be getting, top row is what I will be getting... 
Kinda bummed that I am not getting the Benefit tint but I am crossing my fingers I get the Coral Crush  POP Beauty Pouty Pop Crayon since I would really like to try that color.

Update!

 The first sneak peek as been emailed!

 They always send out an email to inactive accounts in showing one of the goodies we will be getting I guess in hopes to being people in or back.
Here is the 1st sneak peek from July's bag!
 I love Benefit Cosmetics so I am very happy to see this will be coming in our next bag. I was not a huge fan of this months bag so I am happy to see something I already like. 

I will update with more sneak peeks and spoilers as they come so check back over the next couple weeks if you like spoilers!

June 2013 Glam Bag!

My lovely pink envelope came yesterday and I was so excite to see all the goodies I got. Sadly and for the first time, I am not a fan of anything from this bag. I did get the BaubleBar bonus bracelet that I am a huge fan of and have been wearing it since I pulled it out of the bag!
I got;
Starlooks Bare Lip Pencil- I am sure it is lovely and do plan of trying it or maybe just gifting it, I don't use lip liner and since it does seem nice I don't want it to go to waste.
NYX Creme Blush- I was hoping for the mosaic blush. Maybe I am just scared to try a creme blush, my sister said she has the same and has been using it for awhile. I will maybe try it or give it to her since she already likes it.
J.Cat Beauty Sparkling Cream Palette- I am going to be using this for Halloween or maybe crafts. It is not recommended to use on your eyes since it is loose glitter and can get in you eye... causing pain. I do not plan on using anywhere else on my body, like someone said on Ipsy's facebook I am not a kid or a stripper. I did try to put some on my hand and it was very hard to stick and didn't really stay in place until I put lotion on, I was hoping since it has an oil base it would stay on it's own.
Cailyn Cosmetics  Line-Fix Gel Eyeliner with Brush Built-In- I got purple but I wear black, this is another goodie I won't be using until Halloween. I do love the brush and the liner seems very good but I just am not going to wear purple liner, it is just not me.
Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter Pencil- This one I think I do like and I think I will play with it although I rarely highlight now. I have been trying to give my brows some more love when I do my makeup so maybe this will help.
I think over all the bag is my favorite part of this month. Never upset that I get the bag though, I may try these things out and love them!
I was finding a new home for the goodies on my vanity and my little kitty Artemis thought she'd come and check out my work.. either that or she was planning to steal one of my makeup brushes again.
The blush got bubbly in the Arizona heat but thankfully the back tells me it is okay!

If you got this month's bag, what did you like best?

Updated- Julep posted this picture on their site!
 
 Click here to see all about the new colors!
It is almost that time again when Julep opens its online doors to us Mavens and offers up a few new goodies and some new polish that we (almost) always need to say yes to! 
I received an email today with this lovely picture in it.
This was also posted on there facebook page.
I checked out Julep's site and it sound good.
Cost is $23.00 but they have yet to list the discounted Maven price and looks to be about 3.5 oz.

What It Is: A blend of lightweight yet nourishing oils that moisturize, condition, and restore elasticity and suppleness to the body.
What It Does: Absorbs instantly and leaves a satin finish without a greasy residue. Treatment mist contains a blend of cotton seed oil, rich in cell nourishing vitamin E, and sunflower oil- for deep conditioning and softening of even the driest skin.
How To Use: Mist onto slightly damp skin. Massage in thoroughly. Use whenever and whenever skin feels dry. Can be used under lotion for more skin conditioning. Do not use on face.
Features & Benefits:
  • Cotton seed oil, rich in cell nourishing vitamin E
  • Sunflower oil deep conditions with linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid
  • Absorbs instantly, and leaves a satin finish- never a greasy residue
  • Lightly fragranced with a pleasant blend of citrus and floral notes

So it sounds lovely to me and I am excited, very happy it is a full size also. There have been a few things that were a little small to me in the past. I can't wait to see the colors of this month also, I wonder if they will do a 4th theme or something for it... maybe they will do a mystery box for the holiday.

Are you excited? What do you think the July colors and theme will be?

My first Conscious Box!

I signed up a few weeks ago and just in time to still get the June box. I was so excited after reading other reviews on the boxes. 

I had been stalking my tracking number and saw that it was deviered so I ran to get my my first box! I was so excited to see it and then so bummed once I opened it and saw that a few goodies had popped and glued everything together. Plus side, the box smelled yummy!
Everything was sticky and I had things to get done (had to go get a lemon tree!) so just set it aside and wash it off and update this post with more about what I got tomorrow.

I did have the 'Skout Organic Apple Cinnamon Trailbar' and it was pretty good, it taste like a dry apple pie.

Something Blue VoxBox has come!

I  joined Influenster a few weeks ago, I posted about it and this box before it came here.
Yesterday my first Voxbox came! It was much smaller then I though the box would be, I guess I had the Julep box in mind :p
Anyway, here are the goodies that came... and the ninja that have taken over my box!
The first thing I took out of the box was this Luster Now! whiting toothpaste. It also came with a booklet full of coupons :) I am going to start it tonight and will update with a review 6.14.13!
My Trio Rings sent a pamphlet. The rings look lovely but truth be told my ring is better and I don't think I would buy from them. This was a bridal box and I am engaged... with a ring already. I know some ladies get engaged without a ring or the ring comes later but there is no ring needed in my house and as I said in my last post, my wedding band and my fiance's ring are already taken care of also. As a goldsmith my review these rings as frozen spit as me and my old boss would call em. As I tell everyone, just go to a ma and pa store and get it done well and custom. Even on a budget a smaller store will be more than happy to help you and the chance of hand picking your own goodies goes up. If you have a small budge or just don't care this site will work for you but I would suggest to check out a few local small shops (not mall stores like Kay's it is the same as My Trio Rings) and do a little window shopping and ask a few questions, you may be surprised at what you can find :) Now, if I were to pick from their shop these two would be on my list. They are very cute and the prices are pretty good, quick and cheap jewelry just isn't for me. I don't mind a good deal but don't want cheap. Sadly, I am too picky so my fiance is too scared to get me jewelry. Anyway, they have good prices but scream cheap materials to me. I have nothing in front of me so this review is just off of their site and the pamphlet sent.
5/8 Carat Diamond Ladies' Engagement Ring 14K Yellow Gold1/8 Carat Diamond Women's Wedding Band 14K Yellow Gold
Kiss eyelashes sent two packs, one full and one very full! As I posted before I thought they would be sending nail stickers due to the brand name posted on the site. I was excited for stickers but am happy with the lashes and have used them before. These are cute, look good on and easy to use. They also came with a coupon code. I think this is my favorite sample from the box. It came with more then one to pick from, discount, and instructions. Everything I need to pick what one I like and to get more. I will post a picture soon of them on.
I have been working out and my aches and pains have gone up! Next time I over do it... I will give this guy a shot and post how it went.
Q-tips! They sent the precision tip ones and I am so thankful! I have a ton of the regular tip ones and always forget to grab these although they have been on my metal list for ever! These are great for cleaning up my nails and make up under my eyes. These bad boys will be going in my bride's box for sure.
Dr. Scholls for Her Ball of Foot slips. I have been using Dr. Scholls for years, working years in retail they have saved me from a ton of pain. I also have tiny feet for being 5'7" (5.5-6) and they always are a great fit for my shoes. Love em and would by them again, these will be added to my brides box for my special day also.

So that was the Something Blue box. If you got it want did you like best? Anything you are going to be more of?
This box was sent free to me for review.
If you're a member are you getting a VoxBox this coming month?
What are you getting?!
If not join me on Influenster to see if you qualify for a free VoxBox!
Send me a message on facebook with your email and I will send you an invite.
You can also see my full monthly subscription box list here 
and just discounts list here!

Easy Patriotic Nails!

The 4th of July is just around the corner so I am starting in on the fun with my nails!
The goodies you will need.
Nail art tape.
Polish- Red (Jackie) White (Bunny) Blue (Ally) Glitter (America)
Star glitter (Used stars from America by Julep)
Top coat (Freedom)
Dotting tool
 Apply Jackie (red) to your index finger, Bunny (white) to middle and pinky fingers, Ally (blue) to thumb and ring fingers.
Apply a light coat of America (glitter polish) to your thumb starting at your base and ending in the middle, apply the same glitter over the white on your middle finger.
Apply a single star to the base of your ring finger, I fished out stars from America.
For the pinky nail
 Stripe your nails with your tape, you may need more or less stripes than me depending on the size of your nail.

Apply Jackie (red) to your nail over the tape and let dry for a minute or two. Take the tape off and you have red and white stripes!
Apply your top coat and you are done!
Enjoy!

Check out my other 4th of July inspired nails!
