IPSY/MYGLAM BAG 2013 JANUARY (CANADA)

At this point I'm pretty sure that the US and CANADA are getting the same ipsy/myglam bags! 
This is what I got this month. (Sorry these pictures aren't mine because I didn't have time to take nice pictures! :( )

                                        I obviously got deluxe small version! ;) 


















I really enjoyed this month's Ipsy box but I wish that I had gotten the shading brush instead of this one. I also kinda wanted to get the red Nailtini nail polish instead of this cream one! But that's okay. I don't think that Ipsy is really personalizing our stuff because they are just sending us random things. I have no idea why they are even doing the personalization anymore... 

All and all still great stuff! :)

Busy Busy Bees 2013



It's only mid January and this year has just been CRAY CRAY! How the heck can people do everything at once just boggles me! I wish I can bee (haha get it?) those people! Sadly I can't! 

Relaxation tips:

1. Take a bath - so relaxing and soothing with your favourite bubble bath or bar preferably from LUSH! 

2. Exercise - releasing endorphins make the body have a well-being feeling which is very good for the body. 

3. Pamper self - go to a spa or get a massage from a loved one. Losing up the muscles is a great way to feel less tense. 

Happy 2013~

December GlossyBox 2012 (Canada)

This was my glossybox for the month of December! :)
Enjoy!

This month sent me a gray box and I'm liking it! LOL
The theme for this month's box was LOULOU as in the magazine. So here's all the things that LOULOU magazine thinks we should have for the new year! :P

Here's what I got! 



TRESEMME FRESH START VOLUMIZING DRY SHAMPOO
161g/$5.99

I got the deluxe size my my box which was 56g. It's nice for traveling or you can even bring it in your purse or have it with you at school. I personally really like the smell of it but not the way it applies. I guess nothing is really better than washing your own hair. If you're like me and have curly hair, this is good because it will hold you over until your next wash.


AVEENO POSITIVELY AGELESS DAY SPF 30 
FULL SIZE 
75ml/$25.99 

I think that Aveeno has great products but to be honest, I'm not that old. I will someday but right now I just don't need any aging products. But this does have SPF which is great because the sun is really harmful to the skin. I will probably use it up as though it is a pretty nice moisturizer and hey I should take care of my skin while I'm young before it all goes downhill... 


AVEENO POSITIVELY AGELESS TINTED MOISTURIZER (LIGHT-MEDIUM) SPF30 
FULL SIZE 
50mL/ $25.99 

Wow this is a really expensive tinted moisturizer for a drugstore brand but non the less it was nice to get it in this month's box. I don't wear heavy foundation so it's really nice that they gave is tinted moisturizers instead. I think that everyone got the same shade which is fine for my skintone but what about others to have either lighter or darker skin tones? Hmmm there's a question for you GlossyBox! 



AVON 
ASSORTED SEE WWW.AVON.CA 
SUPERSHOCK VIVD LIQUID EYESHADOW IN CHARMED 

BOY WAS I EVER SHOCKED! I think that everyone had issues with the avon products in this month's GlossyBox. I for one am really disgusted at the fact that this eye shadow was liquid like water liquid. When I went to pick it up again the other day the water and the shadow was completely separated like a bad chemistry experiment.  Seriously, what is up with that? 

The brown part and the water was separated which means this product is probably really old. 

REVLON NAIL ENAMEL 
FULL SIZE
15mL/$5.99
COLOUR: 507 FIRE FOX 

I love getting nail polish in my boxes. I like the fact that this nail polish was matte. The thing with matte nail polishes is that they probably need a top coat but this one could sit on itself without anything. Perfect red carpet red if you ask me! ;)

                                    

GLOSSYBOX LASHES 
FLL SIZE 
$12.50/PAIR 

I think the price is just for show. Honestly, Ardell or any other brand lashes are way cheaper and better quality than these ones. I like lashes so I'm not going to complain! It even comes with glue! 



BONUS ITEM 
TRESEMME SPLIT REMEDY SACHET 

Again, I'm not a fan or little packages of shampoo but I'll try if it makes my hair healthier and split end free. I'll just take it to the gym or something. It sure saves room. 



There you have it folks! :)
