My Glam February 2012

I somehow missed the December launch of My Glam, but got signed up for the January kit and couldn’t be more excited! I’ve been following Michelle Phan for a while now on youtube and am so happy that she’s now a part of my monthly box obsession!

Here’s the deets: for just $10 My Glam sends out a glamourous kit filled with beauty products, hair care, makeup and other goodies for you to try (shipping is included). It comes in a shiny hot pink mailer, and let me tell you, when we heard the mail man pull up my daughter ran to look out the window and said, “mommy there’s something shiny and pink in the mail for us!” She gets just as excited as I do when something arrives!

Here’s what was inside my kit:

Shine Control by X OUT -This is a dual purpose product, a moisturizer that mattifyes and works as a primer, created by the makers of Pro-Activ

NUME -Professional Styling Tools & Hair Extentions- $100 gift card… guess who’s going shopping?

Freeman’s Facial Enzyme Mask in Pineapple -The pineapple mask is great for exfoliation and leaves your skin feeling smooth and refreshed.

NYX Roll on Shimmer -This is a beauty product safe for eyes face and body. I got the pink color it’s super sparkly and pretty!

Dead Sea Premier -Cinderella Mask- This mask reduces fine lines and says the effects lasts for 3 days- I’ll let you know my review once I try it and give you the 3 day follow up.

Ghirardelli Sampler -Milk Chocolate and Dark Chocolate- Nothing’s sweeter than getting delicious chocolates as a little gift!

My Glam Valentine Bag -cute hot pink bag with little black hearts.

Purple Haze eyeshadow

Beauty Army -purplehaze eye color- I used it wet along the lash line to show how intense this color is… it’s so pretty!!

Julep February 2012 IT GIRL

We all want to be the IT Girl! This month I opted for the IT GIRL box from Julep Maven to best celebrate the Oscars.

So as I’m watching the Oscars tonight, sipping on a martini, I thought this would be a befitting time to share this review with you!

Julep Maven is a monthly subscription that focuses mainly on nail color and mani/pedi products. You receive over $40 worth of product for the monthly subscription is $19.99 (shipping included). What’s great is you get to preview your box before it ships, which means you have a chance to switch to a different box if you aren’t jazzed about your pre-chosen colors. Nail colors go on really nice and are pretty long lasting, ya get what ya pay for!!

Julep -February 2012- IT GIRL

colors:

Rachel - This is a warm rich copper shimmer. 2 coats and it’s super rich looking. Not too orangy, almost a whisper of burgundy. It’s super pretty, and I’m usually not a fan of coppery colors, but this one I like!

Oscar - Ultra chic, multi-dimensional gold glitter. 2 coats and my nails are so sparkly just like Oscar himself. The glitter is small and like most glitter polishes, they feel a bit textured, until you put a top coat on!

Elizabeth - Midnight blue with a hint of shimmer. 2 coats and it’s dreamy! This is my daughter’s name and I’m all for dark nail polishes, so this is right up my alley. The color is like the mid-night sky, dark almost blue-black with a kiss of shimmer. So elegant!

Also in this box I received a cute Oscar chocolate. I don’t know many people that would pass up a chocolate, do you?

February Beauty Army 2012

Hello Beautiful… Have you heard of Beauty Army?

They just recently launched on 1 January 2012 here in the US. For just $12 a month you get to choose 4-6 deluxe samples to be shipped to your home. There’s usually skincare and a little color to choose from every month.

To try them out click the link https://www.beautyarmy.com/ Currently they are working on a referral program.

So this month here’s what I chose to try out:

Pssssst! -instant dry shampoo- Got a 1.76oz trial size of the dry spray shampoo. It says it refreshes without water, builds volume and preserves color. Since I tend to wash my hair every other to every 3 days this is a great inbetween the days goto hair product!

Mama Mio -Defy Gravity: Boob Tube bust and neck firmer- This is a 1fl oz sample size. Looks to be about enough for a week - 10 days to try out the product. Been using it for a few days and I love the light fragrance it has. It feels really rich but doesn’t feel heavy going on. I feel it really penetrates the skin very well. Once I’m through this tube, I might just have to buy some more!

Indie Lee -coconut citrus, the body scrub- I use sugars scrubs, that being said I also know that they are relatively simple to make at home as well. My 1.6oz sample felt a bit on the dry side. I like my scrubs to have a bit more oil to them. It was nice to sample but for the 12oz fullsize at $38, I’m just not completely sold.

LaRocca -24K Gold Cleanser Exfoliant- This is super gentle and makes my skin feel so nice afterwards. The 1oz sample is enough to get through about 5-7 days (I’ve been using it in the am only) and it smells so nice and since it cleanses, breaks down makeup AND exfoliates - even better, this will go on my wish list!

Weleda -Iris Hydrating Facial Lotion- On the .17oz sample box it says it’s certified natural face care. I haven’t had a chance to try it yet— so I’ll be posting a follow up on this product review… ;)

My Face Cosmetics -Blingtone eye color in purple haze- I have brown eyes and purple is my goto color when I’m looking for something a little more than natural look. I’ve used this eyeshadow on my eyes a few times now and LOVE to color. It’s like a bright amethyst tone with shimmer. Looks great on the lid OR as a liner. AND- it’s a $20 value since it’s a full size - so it definately made this month’s box worth it!
