July Glamour BirchBox 2012

I received my July 2012 Glamour Birchbox. They collaborated with Glamour this month and created a theme that included the five senses.

I will update this post with my review of the products when I receive next month's box!


The sleeve for the box!
It's kind of cute actually. Reminds me of the ocean.


The card this month. Looks the same as the sleeve.


My products this month.


When you first open it!


Stila Lip Glaze in Lights. Not sure what the CL stands for since my other lip glazes has #s after the name..


It's a gorgeous shimmery neutral brown pink.


Minteas. Never heard of them but from the strong smell of the tin, I have a feeling they will taste like the Trader Joe's Green tea mint candies.

The flavor is Ginger Pear which makes me curious to see if it will taste terrible or not.



For the hear section of the theme, we all received ear buds.

I don't know if I will be using them because I already have Sony earbuds.

These kind of ear buds usually fall out of my ears. Judging from the card and the earbuds, they are brand-less. I have a feelimg Birchbox just bought a mass-amount from a China manufacturer.

The colors are cute though.


I thought I was lucky to not get this in my Jet Setter box but unfortunately, I received them this month.

The fragrance is strong and smells interesting. I might test it out.



It was in an envelope and inside, is this little card with the perfume sample.


Inside the green tissue paper wrapped bundle.


It's supposed to be for your hair. Not sure if this would cover my hair though because I have really long hair :T


I was disappointed to see this. First of all, I have dry skin and second, I feel meh about Boscia.

I bought their expensive pore strips and they never did anything -_- I really hope to try their other products but I don't think I will be using this. I wish Birchbox made sure of our skin before sending these kind of products.

In all, I feel really meh about this box.

I feel like the themed boxes are letting me down because the only box I really liked was last month's box.
Everything I received this month, I either have in some form or don't need.

July BeautyArmy 2012

I will be updating my reviews when I choose my box for August!


My card this month :)


The first layer!

Smells great and does a great job moisturizing. I usually hate oily products but if you keep rubbing it in until it's absorbed, it's bearable.

Update: This oil is really nice when I'm too lazy to put anything on after washing my face. I just rub it all over my face and it is really hydrating. The smell is super nice too.

One swirl with my fingertip is enough for a ROSY flush on my cheek. Note that I am tanned too! I love this but I hate the smell.

Update: The smell is still sickly to me but I put up with it because it has awesome pigmentation. A little goes a LONG way.

I used it only once and I haven't seen any difference so far. I'll update this review when I choose the August box.

Update: It smells like watermelon to me. It's a slippery serum and I don't find it effective at all.


I really hope this will get rid of my dark circles or fade them noticeably. I have terrible dark circles.
I'll update this review next month to see if there's any improvements.

Update: It doesn't really fade your dark circles noticeably but it feels nice to put on. It seems to hydrate my lips.

I love CellCeuticals products but they are extremely price-y. I love this moisturizer. It makes your skin immediately smooth.

Update: I love this but I'm not sure if it would be good for my skin. It is very hydrating but because my skin feels immediately smooth, I don't know if there's an ingredient that clogs my pores to make it feel this way.

Will update this next month for results!

Update: Not sure. I guess I do see a BIT of a change but very, very small.

June 2012 BirchBox


My second Birchbox. Since there is no collaboration this month, no special sleeve~


June's month was Jet Set.


Items in my box!


When I first opened it.


I used to have band-aids so I'm sure these will be satisfactory band-aids but I wouldn't purchase "designer" band-aids.

Fortunately, I just ran out of band-aids so these will be useful.

I really like the lace and sequin one in the front of the box!



A bonus item to lure us into getting BirchBox Man x)

I haven't tried it out yet because I don't have a "birchbox man" but many ladies have said it smells really nice haha



The items wrapped up in tissue paper and tied with a ribbon. 


Semi-thick yellowish cream. It feels nice but there's nothing miraculous about it.


My favorite favorite favorite.

Smells like fresh roses. Refreshing. I love it. It's organic too.

I think I will re-purchase this. The sample size I got is fabulous.


Lip and cheek stain.

This was one of my favorites too until I got my Beauty Army cheek and lip rogue.
That one is much better but this is okay too.
It's buildable. It gives you a light flush and then you can build it to a rosy flush.

There's not much in there. Most of the space is taken up by the brush.
I only used it a few times and I've used up half of it already...


My color is in "beauty queen"


A light flush. I used around 3-4 dots.
  

Great pen eyeliner. Much better than the MyGlam one.
Very pigmented and stays for a really long time.

FobbyBarbie Haul

I ordered from FobbyBarbie because they were having a 8.99 Princess Mimi sale and 5.99 EOS sale.

I got 1 pair of Princess Mimi Apple Green and 1 pair of Princess Mimi Brown and 1 pair of EOS blue.

I don't know why but I didn't get the green. I shot them an email already so hopefully they'll reply soon.

What I don't like about Fobby Barbie is that you get what you buy.

No free animal lens case, no free surprise gifts.

I do like their fast shipping though since they are located within the US.


Simple bubble wrap.


How the jars look like.


The EOS blue. They're pretty comfy. 


I blurred out everything but my eyeballs LOL. Attention on the lens!
It's super pretty :) It's actually pretty natural from far away~

I might do a post on all of my circle lens.

JustFab Second "Order"

Pictures of my exchange shoe, the Toccara.


They're alright. I think I'll re-sell them though.

Also, I received an extremely early gift from a friend. Sad enough, it is also from Just Fabulous.
I just can't shake off this company..

Anyway. 

Pictures below :)




The color in person is coral.
It is a really big purse. I guess I like it for now but I don't really like how in person the metal clasp in the middle is off center.

I guess I'll use this purse for school or something because it seems big enough to hold a folder.

Current manicure :)

I went to the movies today and the cashier asked me if I did my nails myself or if I got them done by a professional. I'm glad the time I wasted on my nails did not go wasted hahaha!


I left my ring finger alone because I couldn't bear to erase it yet hahah!

I don't have a huge selection of nail polish so I reuse colors a lot.

Top to bottom:
Color Club in Disco Nap
OPI in Dear Diary
China Glaze in Dress Me Up
OPI in Personal Shopper


Close up :)

PinkyParadise Order

I ordered from them a while ago because they were having a Princess Mimi sale. 
I ordered a pair of Apple Green and Brown (Not the almond).

I ordered them before. I got the grey from them, which I didn't like.
I got my current Apple Green pair from FobbyBarbie but in few months, it would be the year mark so I got a new pair.

I haven't opened the green one yet but I tried on the brown one.

It looks pretty nice but then for some reason one of them hurts like crazy when I stick it in.
I never had any trouble with PinkyParadise OR the Princess Mimi series so I guess I'll contact Pinky just to see what's going on.

I entered a code so I got two animal cases...which I just realized I didn't take a picture of.. and two random gifts.

You can find these coupon code anywhere. Just google for it.



This time I got the pink hair accessory which comes with two pieces. I have gotten a red polka dot bow thingy, 2 black rectangular pieces, 2 light blue rectangular pieces and now 2 pink ones !!

They are pretty useful but they look funny when you have them on x)

I really love the "eyelid patch" they give. I had two of them before. They don't really work but they smell like delicious lychees and feel really refreshing under your eyes haha.

Maybe I'll take pictures of the contacts in another post. Maybe :T

June 2012 MyGlam

Not that happy with June's bag but whatever..


The theme was "Out all night". Wasn't the April glam bag already Girls Night Out?
Don't see much creativity with the themes..


Meh stuff.


The bag is pretty cute if it didn't curl up and rub glitter on everything so much.


When I opened it, I was like Wait, that's it?


I heard pretty good things about this. I guess I'll try it out.


This looks like a pretty good size but I don't use styling cream.


I do like NYX lipsticks. They are pretty creamy but I was so disappointed with the color.


When I saw this, I was like What a gorgeous dusty pink color!
No.
It's this ultra pale pink that looks gross against my olive tan skin :T




I was excited at an eyeliner but it sucks. 
Strange enough, Birch Box had a pen eyeliner in their June box too.
SO MUCH BETTER THAN THIS.

Maybe I'll use this as a pen or something. This rubs off so easily as an eyeliner. It is also not pigmented at all.


The tip.
