June Birchbox Hits and Misses

June's Birchbox wasn't too bad of a box, most of the items were hits!

So lets just get the misses out of the way first. The $25 off a purchase at Artspace, I'm not an artsy person and usually the only 'art' that gets hung up on my walls are photographs that I take myself. The other miss was the Apothederm Strech mark cream, I didn't try this, but to me it was a miss because it came not even half full.

Now to the hits. I am in love with the Balm cosmetics Stainiac in Beauty Queen! When I first seen that this was a red colored product I thought there was no way I'd be able to wear it, I was wrong! I love to apply this to my lips, let it dry for a few minutes then top it off with either clear gloss or just some lip balm. The color really sheers out once you spread it over your lips. You can also use this product on your cheeks. The only thing I don't like about it, is it's price, a full size is $17.50.

I also really have been loving the BAND-AID® Brand Adhesive Bandages by Cynthia Rowley, seriously they are so stylish! The price is super crazy, but they are pretty cool.

The John Varvatos for men fragrance sample I gave to my hubby! It smells super yummy and he liked it too.

The Scalisi Skincare Anti-Aging moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 is a really nice moisturizer, it's feels really light but really moisturizing. As far as the Anti-Aging part of it, I don't know how well that works because I feel like you have to use an Anti-Aging product for a while before you see any kind of results.

I have not used the CleanWell individual hand sanitizing wipes, but they are in my purse if I ever need them.

What's in my Travel Makeup Bag?

I am taking a little trip this weekend (scheduled this post) and I thought I would share with you the makeup items I will be taking with me. I try my best to pack light, so I take the bare essentials. My bag is from Avon and I love it, it's purple in color with metallic looking paint splatters all over it.

Items I am taking with me include my Wet n Wild trio in Silent Treatment, ELF makeup mist and set spray, Avon Ideal Shade tinted moisturizer, NYC Smooth

June Birchbox

I received my June Birchbox the other day and wanted to share what came in it. I have not had a chance to try these products out enough to offer a review on them, but I will post a review of the products next month.

Up first the Balm cosmetics Stainiac in Beauty Queen. This is a two-in-one lip and cheek stain. It's a sheer gel formula that is supposed to deliver a subtle, long wearing flush. Full size retails fro $17.00
