Starbox January 2014

If you haven't noticed, I LOVE MAKE-UP! No seriously I have some sort of addiction that just keeps growing and growing. I think my addiction really started taking off when I subscribed to Ipsy and discovered all sorts of awesome make-up brands that I just had to invest in. Some of my favorites are Coastal Scents, Benefit, BH Cosmetics and Starlooks. Unfortunately Starlooks happens to be the only one to have a monthly subscription service that I just had to try out. This happens to be my first month with Starlooks Starbox, it's $15 + SH a month and you get 3-4 full size products right to your door but better yet they send out birthday boxes and referral boxes as well as a box for their new loyalty program. Every 3 months that you continuously subscribe they will send you ANOTHER BOX! That's an awful lot of potential monthly boxes.

Alright enough of my rambling, lets move on to the goodies.

Unlike Ipsy, Starlooks comes in a white mailer so not as exciting but the actual starlooks box is cute and the products are wrapped in tissue paper.

Ipsy January 2014 glam bag + bonus item

About Ipsy: Each month, subscribers will receive a beautiful Glam Bag with deluxe samples and full-sized beauty products. Members can watch and play along with the stylists with the same products that they are using.All for only $10 a month. 

So this month was a little different from other months. This month was more focused on pampering rather than just makeup. I didn't mind too much and I had hoped to receive some items that I didn't so I was a little disappointed but my bag wasn't too bad.

 This months theme is 19 Reasons. Honestly I am still unsure on what that even means.

Here is my December glam bag and review

Benefits The Rich is Back

I couldn't resist taking advantage of Benefit's 50% of sale they recently had. I can't afford their products really but with their 50% and free shipping I purchased this cute little box and I must say that I am very impressed with it and can't wait to take advantage of other 50% off sales that Benefit will have.

This is the Matthew Williamson The Rich is Back palette

 The awesome unboxing. I just love the tissue paper they use so I am keeping it for a future gift wrapping.

 I received two samples that I picked out when I was placing my order. I chose the Porefessional primer and the Hoola bronzer samples. I really liked the Porefessional but was disappointed that I only got to try a very small sample of it and it wasn't really enough to cover my whole face.

I hadn't realized the last time I reviewed my Ipsy bag was October!!!! So I am going to be posting my November followed by my December bag in another post.

 So this month we got 6 items instead of the usual 5 which was really awesome. I also really happen to love the gold glam bag. The theme for this month was GLAM IT UP which is basically everyday for me. LOL

Hello

Whew I have been so swamped between work, school and my family I have just not had time to get on much and post. I also wanted to share that my family and I moved into our first house! We are all very excited and I would love to show pictures but it's a fixer upper so when we get around to getting things finished I will post before and after pictures. But I just wanted to say that I am still alive and haven't forgotten about my blog and I will try better to post more often. I hope everyone has had a good start to the new year!
