What's In My May BirchBox?

Hey ladies! Birchbox time!! I just wanna say that I am loving this service so much and for $10 a month a cant think of a better way to try something new! So on the the *Haul*

So it seems like they have been going with theme's every month and last month was for *Earth Day and this month is *Mother's Day

• Stila Eyeshadow in Coco- this is the reason I signed up for this was to get makeup products! So this was awesome to get, it's an $18 dollar shadow (this is not a sample, this is the regular size shadow) This is going to be perfect for my inner corner & liner, and because it is a matte color it will be great to fill my brows as well. Only downside (if there really is one) is that it didnt come with a pot and I don't have a palette to stick it in but I mean for this price, I am not complaining one bit!

• Bulgari Mon Jasmin Noir- "The Italian fragrance house's latest winner has waves of ripe fruit with a base of heady jasmine" is what the card reads- My first impression was woah this is expensive because in the sample it has a spray thing as opposed to taking off the cap! I sprayed it on my wrist and I thought it smelled like an old rich lady...*no*...After a few hours I was catching whiff's of it here and there & I realized it was the perfume. I really liked it after it dried down, I cant describe the scent (so I suppose they description is good enough) but it is a very sophisticated,complex scent. It smells really rich but also it smells delicious after a while- Not something I would have bought on my own, but it's not bad at all.

•  Archipelago Pomegranate Soap- "A triple-milled ultra smooth soap loaded antioxidant-rich white tea and pomegranate to gently clean hands & body" I have not tried this yet, however I am exited to! when I opened the box this scent came bursting out! I love the detail on the bar of soap too- well played on their part (:

• Ahava Mineral Hand Cream- "This satiny cream is rich without being heavy, and sinks into skin for major therapeutic benefits" If anybody watches Miss Glamorazzi on you-tube you will know this brand- she always raves about this hand cream. I didn't think it was bad at all- yes it is silky, I dont think it is greasy. I had my friend Alex test everything with me and she loved this *but* thought it was a bit greasy- It smells clean, It's nice. Also wanted to point out it has dead sea mineral's in it- huge plus

•  Treat Tiny Prints Card-Just a card you can write what you want in! cute, too bad I didn't have this on mother's day or I would have givin it to my momma! I also get another another free card & get %50 off of any additional purchases- TinyPrints.com is the site if anyone's interested 

 Card Opened:

All of this for $10 is not a bad deal at all! I encourage everyone to sign up! Who dosent like a little present every month on their doorstep?  No 2  Birch Boxes are the same it seems like, so what did you guys who get BirchBoxes get in yours?

BubbleGum Zebra's- NOTD

I was playing around with my new Nail Art Polishes: 

• Sally Hansen in Bubble Gum Pink (my favorite nail polish for the spring/summer!)
• L.A Colors nail Art in Black

I hope everyone is having a fun-filled weekend!

Small NYX Haul

Hey everybody! They just opened up an Ulta a few days ago where I live and I was so exited to go and check it out. I really have been wanting to try NYX products for some time so I thought this was a perfect chance- For NYX products its Buy 2 Get 1 Free for the whole week at Ulta. Plus I did have a %20 off coupon! So here's what I got: 

   Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk, Soft Matte Lip Cream in Tokyo, Lipstick in Summer Love

From left to Right (or) Top to Bottom Milk, Tokyo, Summer Love - I could pick just one swatch! you notice how Summer Love Varies a bit?

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil- I like this alot. I have seen it in many You-Tube videos and I have been wanting to try it for a highlight and for the inner corner. I really like it alot. It has great pigment to it and now that I have purchased this, I have been using it as a highlight under the brows,  I dont think I would be able to live without it! it blends pretty well I have also been putting it above my cupids bow, I think it's perfect to shape my lips. 


Soft Matte lip Color in Tokyo- It is not lipstick or a gloss, It's a lipstick cream that goes on silky but looks soft matte is what the bottle reads. I love this color! it's a really pretty pink as you can see. The only thing about this is it can be kind of drying to your lips after a while & the color fades slightly. I have been carrying a lip balm along with this lip cream and that helps the dryness throughout the day. I just love the color. Just a side note it smells like cupcakes! yummy!

Lipstick in Summer Love- This is a nice nude lipstick in the respect that it is really soft. I can only speak for this one lipstick but with Summer Love it is more sheer than matte, which is fine- as long as it isn't to sticky or glossy.  I really wanted to post a pic of it on my lips but my camera wouldn't cooperate because the swatch differs a bit on my lips. it looks darker on my hand than on my lips. I like the color it gives off, I like lighter color on my lips. Not the perfect nude for everybody- I have a tan and I like it on my tan skin. I am not sure if I didn't have a tan if I would like it or not. Looking back I wish woulda tried Strawberry Milk...but I decided to step outta my pink box!

I love this Brand! They are so generous on prices and the product's are great! i was really impressed with the jumbo eye pencil with how much pigment it gives off.. Anybody else have anything they like from NYX that is worth checkin out? Thanx too for stoppin by!

Perfect Summer Beauty

Hey guys I wanted to do something different than a Wish List post so I decided to go with another spin..but its pretty much the same thing! enjoy

First off you need to smell good and stay fresh and clean on a beautiful summer day and I love layering scents going with Body Wash, Lotion & Perfume and one of my favorite scent's is Falling in Love by Philosophy

When it comes to my hair and summer they dont get along. The humidity makes my hair extremely frizzy so something I have been wanting is Bed Head Spoil Me- it will de-frizz your hair while repairing and also will give your hair a light movable hold.

I have been obsessing over concealer for some reason and my list keeps on getting longer and longer! Some of them I really wanna try: Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage & Benefit Erase Paste

Bumming around on the beach calls for a new, awesome bikini that I have worked soo hard to look good in! This one from VS is perfect for me. I love the way the top looks. Wireless Push Up Halter in White Paisley

Any girly girl would know Heels + Bikini = Summer Beauty! I have been really wanting a pair of nude heels...with spikes!! OMG soo freakin awesome! These are from some other world...

And oh yeah, this bag! I have been eying it every time I walk into Target. Milani Floral print bag

what has everyone else been wanting for the summer?

April Favorites!

From the left to the right-

Femme Couture Mineral Effects in Sandy Beach- (You can barely see this one in my picture!) This is a matte loose eye shadow powder. I love this as a base. After my primer and before my shadow- I put this on my lid. It does have lasting power and although I don't usually like loose shadow I happen to love this one. It is a really dense (but really soft) powder and it's just beautiful.

Physician's Formula Happy Booster Blush in Natural read this review here


L'Oreal Studio Line Hair Putty- I have been using this stuff for a few years now, I love this stuff. the texture isnt too sticky, it almost feels like lotion. However it is a little stickier than lotion but not too sticky. I love this to rub into my hair at my roots. I throw it in while my hair is damp then i use a big round brush to blow it out. It gives me nice volume at my roots. I always have a tub of this- It has been a favorite for quite some time


Finger Paints Polish in -Brushstroke Blush- OMG! I really really love this color! it is the perfect pale pink on my fingers!! I think this will be my favorite polish for months to come! I think this is a great dupe for OPI Sweetheart or Bubble Bath...So hard to capture the true color of this polish with my camera but I think I got it pretty good.....

ACT face tanner I only got a sample of this at my tanning salon because I was a bit skeptical, my face has a mind of it's own, very acne prone so I wasnt sure if this stuff was going to break me out or what. It is actually designed for your face to wear in the tanning bed and it's supposed to diminish pimples and acne scarring. It did make my scarring a little less noticeable but I think that is the tan and not the lotion. My skin tone is fair and although I do tan I burn at first. With this stuff my face didn't burn at all, it made it really tan which I really like. As for diminishing my pimples...I cant say it did that. I dont like using body lotion on my face in the bed (or in real life for that matter) so I think this is the perfect product for me. If you tan and your skin is sensitive I highly recommend this.

Maybelline- Lipstick color Born With It I dont know how I forgot about this one! It is my favorite favorite for April! It is the perfect pink lip color- a really good dupe for this would be MAC's creme cup but for half of the price!! Ive been wearing this under my Sexy gloss by Mark.

Dollar Store Finds (:

Hey ladies hope you all had a great weeekend, I know I did- very relaxing. I feel like ive been non-stop for the past couple weeks so I went to Rainbow got the cutest maxi dress, Bought my mom a gift card to get her nails done and also I went to the dollar store! yay! thought I would share witcha, everything was a buck a piece-

• Nail Art Nail Polish in Silver, Black, & Pink. I love these! the brushes are really thin- great for nail art.

• ELF defining eye brush. I dont have a angled eye brush so I figure why not pick this up and give it a try. I think it will be good for the crease. 

•  One of the main reason I went to the dollar store was for my hair ties. I love the color's of them! (sorry you cant really see the true color of them) The pastels are too cute! they will match all my pastel nail polish ive been obsessing over
• Bobby Pins
• Another reason I went was to get these bra clips. Never tried them but I cannot wait to. all for for a buck. remember the infomercial about these? they used to be like $10 for 2....awesome deal

• I usually pick up tealight's every time I go because I burn alot of Tarts and Melt's
• Aloe Vera hand soap. I love the aloe vera hand sanitizer because it makes your hands soft as opposed to the regular stuff that makes my hands seriously dry, that also goes for when I wash my hands too- they always become dry- so I seen this and grabbed it! 
• Has anybody tried the Aloe Vera drink??? I wanna try it, but I dont wanna spend money on it if I dont like it- its expensive! lol

Just a fun little sunday post thought my bloggers would like. What have you found for a steal from the dollar tree?  Thanx for reading!!
