Beauty Box 5 July box...

Ok so I been thinking about trying this box out for awhile and got an offer to try it for next to nothing so I figured why not. Yea...Glad I didnt actually subscribe. Honestly the items in the box where decent but after being spoiled with high end sample from brands like Ipsy and Birchbox this box just couldnt compete. I did get some really good items but I think the value is much better with any other beauty subscription service.
So didnt really do a look or anything though I have worn the lipliner and there just wasnt any real reason to bother with a pic. The liner did wear quite well but it was nothing I havent seen/worn a million times before. 
 
So we got a full size Revlon Bold Lacquer Mascara...

What I am assuming is a sample size Glowing Mama walnut face & Body scrub from Anna Naturals...

An Argan Oil from Morroco deep conditioning hair treatment packet...

A Starlooks Lip Pencil in Tickle Me Pink...


An possibly my favorite item in the box...

Body Drench Candy Licious Lip Balm in Cotton Candy. I am soooo addicted to the soft lips Lip Balm but I may have to switch to this. It works just as well with the bonus of tasting and smelling AWESOME!!



July Ipsy bag..

Ok so as usual this month I am waaaaay behind posting this but at least this month I had a reason. We are all moved and settled in our new place!! I am so very excited. As soon as the pool guys do their job and it looks good I will post a bunch of pics!! Plus I just got my tracking for this month so hopefully the next bag will be here soon. Without further ado this was July's bag...


Ok so I am not gonna lie on this...I HATED this months bag itself. The color didnt bother me but the bag kinda looks like a craft project gone bad! Plus whatever they used to make the bag it didnt smell so good. I know that is odd to say but I don't really want my beauty bag stinking LOL.

This month we got...
Lavilin Jojoba Skin Soother Gel Cream.
So I havent used this. I have soooo many sample Skin creams/Moisturizers/Lotions that I take forever to use them. It does say to use after intense physical activity so I may try it next time after I hit the treadmill ;)

Pur~lisse Pur Protect essential Daily Moisturizer.
Again I have so very many things like this laying around I may use it someday....


Bare Minerals 5 in 1 BB Advanced performance cream eyeshadow. Now usually I am not much of a fan of cream shadows but this stayed perfectly in place all day without creasing or fading. Unfortunately the bottle does not state the shade on it so it would be a guessing game to order the right one.


Loving this shadow though! It is a nice neutral shade with just a slight touch of shimmer. For the look I also used Pacifica Natural Beauty Duo #2 in the white shade, Be A Bombshell Liquid Liner in Onyx, & & Be A Bombshell Lash Out Mascara.

Then there was a Pixi Tinted Brilliance Balm in Unique Pink. On me this was pretty much a clear gloss but it did accentuate my natural lips color beautifully.
Finally I got a product I was way excited about too!! We got a full size Models Own nail polish!! 

I have wanted to try these for ages but since they are overseas I always end up stopping myself cause of having to pay shipping. The color I got was red Sea. It's not really red at all. More a nice hot pink jelly polish with random shard of glitter. Not really a full coverage kind of polish but it is well buildable. I only used 2 coats for the pics...
