MARCH GLOSSYBOX 2013 CANADA

THIS WILL BE MY SECOND LAST GLOSSYBOX BECAUSE I HAVE CANCELLED MY SUBSCRIPTION. YAY! :D

This month is a good box month! :) 

MODELCO CHEEK AND LIP TINT IN TOSY RED 

FULL SIZE 10ML/$24.00 

Delivers perfect amount of sheer colour for naturally flushed 'just pinched' cheeks and a sexy pout. 

JERGENS NATURAL GLOW 3 DAYS TO GLOW MOISTURIZER 

FULL SIZE 120ML/$12.99

It says no odour but there is DEFS some kind of lotion smell to it and tbh, I don't really do self tanning things because I'm pretty tanned already...  

TRESEMME KERATIN SMOOTH HEAT PROTECTION SINE SPRAY. 

FULL SIZE $5.99

I hope that this will be a good product and I can't believe I just got a protection spray and found my old one. Hope this is a good product. All the salon ladies say that tresemme stuff is crap and I don't blame them but at the same time, they just want to sell their own salon products. 

BM BEAUTY PLATINUM TIARA EYE SHADOW 

2G/$10.80 

I don't like powery eyeshadow. I mean it's a nice colour and all but I just don't do mineral products because they get EVERYHWERE and I can never use it up because they will not be used up... EVER. 

L'OREAL PARIS YOUTH CODE SERUM INTENSE 

I don't know if I was suppose to receive 4 samples in my box but there were 4 which was really odd to me. I don't think that GLOSSYBOX should be sending us a lot of youth products because I'm pretty sure that the subscribers wouldn't be that old. If they are, they should already know how to take care of their skin... or what not. 

I THINK THAT THIS WAS A GREAT GLOSSYBOX FILLED WITH A LOT OF GOOD FULL SIZED PRODUCTS.

MARCH IPSY/MYGLAM BAG 2013 (CANADA)

HEY ya'll, so this is going to be my last bag because let's be real, these subscriptions aren't worth my money and I can't just pay for random things in these bags. Plus, I get makeup bags when I buy beauty products with gifts so I don't need a bag every month. It really builds up... ANYWAYS OFF TO THE PICTURES OF THE BAG.

I actually really really like this bag. I love the anchor theme and apparently that's totally in this season! :P 

It's kind of thin but it'll be nice to take around. I like the non boring bags because I think that having a little patter goes a long way! I just love prints!!! 

This little palette was really neat! This was by GLAMRX and it can fit all kinds of pans and it's best for on the go because it's so tiny and it has a nice size mirror. This palette has a magnet on the bottom so any kind of magnetic pan would fit into this. 

These were so cute! Little YABY eyeshadow pans. I really like neutral colors because that's what I mainly wear anyways but I really wished that I got that nice turquoise colour that I saw other people had. It's still nice though and it's perfect for the little GLAMRX palette. 

I got the colours SEASHELL what is white peral colour and AZALEA PETAL which is kind of a maroon red colour. They are both nice colours but it's not the most pigmented colours and not worth that much hype. 

LA FRESH travel-lite makeup remover wipes. I'm just going to save these until I need them on the go because I have the big bags of makeup removers so I don't need to use the little packages. 

JUICE BEAUTY 

HYDRATING SPRAY CERTIFIED ORGANIC

I don't like the SMELL! I like the fact that it's organic, but in business talk, there still could be toxic chemicals in here so whatever I don't believe that anymore. This is like a setting spray or could be used as a toner. 

OVERALL 

I think this month's ipsy bag was pretty cool. There are all these products that I would never buy myself or ever pick up at a store. I'm glad this is my last bag because I don't want to spend more money on items that I don't need. This is only good for blogging purposes!

GLOSSYBOX FEBRUARY 2013 (CANADA)

HELLO GLOSSIES! LOL I SOUND LIKE THEIR FACEBOOK GROUP! :P

IT'S TIME FOR THE BIRTHDAY BOXXXXXXXXX!!!!!! :D

THE CUTEST BOX YET! :) 

01 GIVENCHY GLOSS INTERDIT N0.3 GORAL FRENZY 
A high-performance lipgloss with light, smooth texture that brings shine and definition to your pout.
Deluxe Size 3.5mL - $17.00 

I love anything coral and this gloss goes on so nice! I wish it wasn't so expensive and is sold at stores near me, I'd totally pick this up! :)

02 ESSENCE QUATTRO EYESHADOW 
Take your look from office-chic to evening ready with four complimentary colors.
Full Size - $3.99 

These swatches took 3 tries to get this pigmented and even then it's not at all pigmented. 

This quad is actually HORRIBLE I guess you pay for what you get. The color payoff is really bad and it does not stay on. I rather pay less for Wet n' Wild shadows. Those ARE AMAZING! Essence is just a really cheap brand and the stuff is cheap.

03 BIORE DEEP CLEANSING PORE STRIPS - ULTRA 
These pore strips, enriched with invigorating tea tree oil and witch hazel, lock onto and remove deep-down dirt.
Full Size - $9.99

I love these pore strips! And they are full sized! I almost used up mine from my last box and can't wait to use these up too! They are just FABULOUS!!! 

04 MACADAMIA NATURAL OIL HEALING OIL TREATMENT 
A weightless, therapeutic treatment for all hair types that adds moisture and nutrients for shine and increased manageability, while providing UV protection.
Deluxe Size - $13.50 

Can't wait to use this because I've heard so many good review about the Macadamia line! :) 

05 ANATOMICALS YOU NEED A BLOOMING SHOWER! ROSE AND JASMINE BODY CLEANSER 
This rose and jasmine body cleanser makes every shower a flower-power experience
Full Size - $3.00

This smells GREAT! I can't wait to shower myself with this! And I love the packaging! I am such a sucker for packaging! :$


SAMPLES 

Last but not least 
GLOSSYBOX CUPCAKE KIT 

Can't wait to bake CUPCAKES!!! :)

JANUARY GLOSSYBOX 2013 CANADA

SORRY FOR THE LATE UPDATE ON THE JANUARY GLOSSYBOX.

I feel like I only blog when I'm bored so I guess I'm super bored right now! :P jkkk 

So here are all the contents! :) 

I have misplaced the letter where it says all the prices and descriptions so I'm just going to show you some photos! LOOOL :D

Wella Brilliance Mousse 

Full Size 

I hate how this mousse is for colored hair because that is something I don't have. It's still nice to try a professional hair styling mousse. :) 

Curel Hand Cuticle Therapy 

FULL SIZE

I didn't appreciate the fact that I have already received this in a previous box and I didn't even like it the first time. I really wished that GlossyBox put a track on the products that give out to make sure that they don't give out the same products twice. 

NIVEA 

Essential Lip Balm 

FULL SIZE 

I really dislike this lip balm. I've had this before and it is just too oily for me. It does do a good job moisturizing my lips but it's just too much. I prefer the EOS lip balls or the But's bees lip balms. Really disliked this. 

BEAUTY SO CLEAN 

Cosmetic wipes. 

Sample SIZE. 

TOO FACED 

LIP INJECTION EXTREME 

TINY SIZE. 

This made my lips sting a little. It was a weird feeling and I don't need my lips to be that plumped even though I don't have Angelina Jolie lips and I am totally fine with that! :P 

If anyone wants to get a GlossyBox, click HERE!  

That's all folks!!!!!!!!

IPSY/MYGLAM BAG FEBRUARY 2013 (CANANDA)

HELLO LOVELIES!

I have the Feb Ipsy/MyGlam bag to show all today! :)))

So here is what I got!

This month's theme was "GET THE RED CARPET READY" 

I really enjoyed this months bag, even the bag! :D 

It had full sized items and deluxe samples which I don't like as much as full sized (obviously) but it was nice to get try some things. 

The Bag 

- Black, shiny and pretty cute! 

First Item 

POP!beauty 

Smoky Lash Kapow!!! in No. 1 Smoky Black - DELUXE SIZE 

This is just like the old fashioned mascara. The brush is a normal looking bristles and goes on nice, but not as nice as others that I have tried. 

Second Item 

MICA Beauty Cosmetics

Gel Eyeliner in Black - FULL SIZE 

I was just needing a new gel eyeliner and I received it in my bag this month. This is a really nice creamy eyeliner that stays on a very long time. It is very comparable to the M.A.C fluidline or the Bobbi Brown one. The real MICA beauty gel liners have a brush on the top of it but the one that we received in the Ipsy bag just has a cap and to be honest I like this one better! Retail price $30.00!!! :O 

Third Item 

PIXI

Flawless and Poreless Primer - DELUXE SIZE 

I don't use primers because I don't use foundation everyday. When I tried this on my face, it went on smoothly and covered more of my pores. Overall, this is a good-priced, good-quality primer. 

Forth Item 

Coastal Scents 

Sample Quad in "In the Spotlight" - DELUXE SIZE 

I didn't like this quad very much because the little case is hard to use and it didn't have colors that I'd wear all the time except for two: Dark Goldenrod and Golden Globe. The matte color Sunbeam is useless because it won't go with many of the other colors. It was a nice sample though. I'm not a big fan of Coastal Scents eyeshadows because they have a lot of fallout and the color pigmentation is ok. Not GREAT, but ok quality.  

Here are the SWATCHES! 

Fifth Item 

LASH CARD 

Little pieces of cardboard to guard the lashes while putting on mascara or block fallout. 

The lash cards are a great idea but I already have a little contraption that block the mascara from my eyelid and it's plastic and will last longer than these lash cards. 

Hope you liked my post! :)

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! :( )

The exact brush that I received 

Nailtini Straight Up Color Nail Lacquer

You can’t go wrong with a classic, all the way to your fingertips. These two are the all-time best selling Nailtini nail lacquers.

The exact color that I received 

BigSexyHair Spray & Play Volumizing Hairspray

Your everyday spray for BIG volume! Spray & Play is a humidity resistant, flexible hold hairspray that provides fullness, lift and incredible shine! Perfect for all hair types. 

                                        

                                        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! :)

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! :)
