October Popsugar Must Have Box Review and Discount Code

Popsugar has become my favorite box that I get for me.  It is $35.00 a month, but it is increasing by $5.00 November 1, 2013.  Popsugar sends a box of the must have items from the month.  You can all kinds of items from makeup, to hair clips, books, snacks, you name it.  I love that they send such a variety of things, there is always something I love in the box.  I saw the spoilers for this month, and I was really excited to get my box.  This month, Popsugar nailed it!  I loved my entire box.  Normally, I do a first look, but I was took excited and opened my box. The Information Card Popsugar has amazing information cards.  Their cards fold out and have information about each product, why they picked it and the picture.  I don’t like staring at the information card, trying to find out what is what.  This month, Popsugar is donating a $1.00 to Breast Cancer research with every box sold. NYX Smoky Shadow Palette $7.00 I love this palette.  I will use all of these colors.  I like that Popsugar didn’t include any loud and crazy colors. Julep Maven Freedom Top Coat  $18.00 retail $14.40 maven price Char (It Girl) $14.00 retail $11.20 maven pricing Julep recently made an appearance in my Citrus Lane box.  I was hoping Popsugar would get a different color than Citrus Lane included, and I was happy to see they did.  Popsugar send two polishes: the freedom top coat and Char nail polish.  The Freedom Top Coat is one of my favorite Julep products.  It makes your nails look glossy and it tries your polish in 5 minutes!  The other polish was Char, a beautiful dark blue color.  If you are interested in find out more aboutContinue Reading

October Julep Maven Classic with A Twist and Free Box Code

It was hard to decide what Julep Maven box to get.  I loved the red in Classic with a twist. Anisa.  I really wasn’t crazy about the grey-beige color, Winona.  I also loved It Girl this month.  I decided to stay with Classic with a Twist and trade Winona on a swap board.  Julep is $19.95 a month, but the nice part is, you can skip any month.  When you sign up, you fill out a style profile, and are assigned to one of five styles: Modern Beauty, It Girl, Bombshell, BoHo Glam, and Classic with a Twist, Every month, BoHo Glam, Bombshell and Classic with a Twist gets 2 polishes and then a beauty/makeup/nail item.  It Girl always has 3 polishes.  Modern Beauty always get two beauty, makeup, nail care, or skin care items. The Box I like how the add-ons are all in the same box. Quote Card There is always a little card, with a quote for the month.  This month, the card says, “Don’t Ask Permission” by Joan Jett Candy Corn Julep always include a little bonus item.  This month’s item was candy corn.  My boys are going to enjoy this.  I am not a fan. Kajal Eye Glider with sharpener I was glad to get a make up item this month.  I haven’t tried this yet, but I like eye pencils.  I also like the sharpener. Alisa I love this red.  It is the reason I chose this box.  I love the color. Winona I was not a fan of this color.  It is a beige-grey color.  I am trading this for another color, with person from an online swap group. Casper This is a white sparkly color that glows in the dark.  I think this will be fun for Halloween. The Whole Box FinalContinue Reading

Ipsy Glam Bag Review July 2013

My boys get so many boxes, I decided to start getting a few for me.  I have loved all the “unboxing videos” of Ipsy and knew I had to try it.  Ipsy sends out a “Glam Bag” each much filled with deluxe samples and full size products.  As a busy mom, I don’t get time to shop around for new beauty and makeup items.  When you sign up, you fill out a survey about your skin tone, make-up habits etc.  Each month there will be a group of products.  If you want to cancel at anytime, you can do so right from your online account.  You will be sent 4-5 that match your profile.
