Jamba Juice Smoothie Kits $2.99 -$3.49

    One coupon for a FREE 8oz All Natural Smoothie Kit & one coupon for $1.00 off any Jamba smoothie kit.
I have not redeemed these yet, they have not found there way into my purse, lol.

Hawaiian Tropic Silk hydration after sun $2.99 (2oz)

    I love this stuff! I burn very easy and this is my go to sunburn soothers.  So it's very nice to have one that I can carry in my pool bag just in case I need it for the ride home.

First Aid Shot Therapy $2.99

    I actually had to read the card to figure out what the heck this was.  It states it's a "liquid pain relief (drinkable) shot for headaches, migraines, sore muscles, back pains and hangover headaches" (lol)  It is the size of the 12 hour energy things but for aches and pains instead of energy.  I have not try this yet I think I'll wait until I have one of my migraines to put it to the test.

SunfulColors Professional Nail Polish $1.99

    I love Sunfulcolors they are always coming out with new colors to try.  But this one is just not me!
    Its just not mint enough for me to love.  But its also not green enough to wear, its just very blah and in-between.  Its got a very gray undertone that reminds me of the old appliances that you would find in your grandma's house.

_@sinfulcolors @sinfulcolors_np you can find this product +Walgreens #sinfulcolors #contest

Covergirl Bombshell Curaceous by LashBlast Mascara $9.49 -$11.99

    I was so excited when I found out that this was in my box.  I thought "finally something from Influenster that I can really relate to my blog", maybe even do a whole review on Yay!

    This mascara has a double ended wand side 1 for voluminous curl with a plastic brush and side 2 for intensify with a fiber brush. Since the wands themselves are the middle section of this contraption it does make it rather hard to work with.  Also the packaging itself is very large, it is the fattest mascara tube that I own.  My first try with it just made me frustrated, I was applying makeup to go out somewhere and really did not have time to put on 3 to 4 coats to get the same results of my normal (Benefits they're Real!) mascara. So I gave up quickly and used my favorite to get the job done.

    With all that being said "Yes" I will be giving it another go and I will post a full review on it asap.

This box total was: $23.45

I received all these products for testing and reviewing purposes from Influenster.

July Ipsy 2014

          I know I've been gone for a long time.  (due to my son starting kindergarten and me starting a new job all at once.) I found it very hard to keep up with all the new changes happening in my life.  But we are all on summer break right now and I hope to get everything back to normal on here and start posting more.  So I hope you guys are still there and maybe some new people also. :)

Can't Find My Czrchbook! Euro Centrale collection by OPI

     I'm so sad that none of these pictures came out. But the polish was so cute I am willing to put up a bad picture just until I can get a better picture.  This polish is from the Euro Centrale Mini collection by OPI line, in the color Can't Find My Czrchbook! with a white french tip.  I believe this is two coats plus the french tip and clear coat.  The others from this collection include Suzi's Hungary AGAIN!, You're such a budapest and OY-another polish joke! Original Haul.

"Finishing School"

Dreams Nail Lacquer 2 in 1 Base and Top Coat $9.50

This is a very cute little bottle but it doesn't seem to be anything special.  I will stick to my OPI topcoat.

Jasmine Seven Fresh Feet Wipes $25.95

I do not get this.  How is this beauty related? And when would anyone need to clean just your feet? ... Moving on...

Juice Beauty Oil-free Moisturizer $28

This sample is a nice size but I have already told Birchbox a couple of time that I can not stand the smell of Juice Beauty products, but yet I keep getting them... oh well.

Stilla Stay all day liquid lipstick $22 in the color "beso"

I was very excited to get this brand, even if its in a very intimidating shade.  I like the quality of the color, its very rich and vibrant.  It also stains and last all day, so I would love this product if it was in a different shade.  Defiantly recommend it for a long lasting lip stain.  (lip gloss is need with this product)

ShowStoppers Designer Fashion Tape $9.99

I will probably never use this and the one time I'll need it I will defiantly forget that I have it! Lol.  Seems to me that they could have added another sample or a few extras of this tape (@ .83¢) or the foot cleaner (@ .66¢) even thought I don't like ether one. This box just seem a little small. 

This month was also my anniversary box so I also received this leather key chain (separability).  I have heard that this is for lipsticks but I tried all of mine and none of them fit.  So if you have found something that fits please let me know.  Because I love it I just don't know what to do with it.

My Glam Bag

"Beach Beauty"

Pop Beauty pouty pop crayon in the color Coral Crush .1 oz.

I have wanted to try one of these but really didn't want to buy the whole box set of 5, if it was going to turn out that I didn't like them.  So it was nice to see this in My Glam Bag.  Unfortunately it did not look good with my skin tone I think any other color besides this one would have worked perfectly.  But this bag was so good I don't mind the trial and error color.

Tinibeauty in the color Mai Tai $13 .5fl. oz. Triple-Free

Receive 30% off plus $5 ground shipping on any purchase by entering code HOT4IPY

This color is a red coral and the polish is smooth and opaque very happy to see this full size polish in my bag.

Big sexy hair weather proof

Receive $5 off $25 or more at ulta.com enter code: 108723

I love trying new things from this brand unfortunately this item stinks so bad its hard for me to use.   I really hope I just got a defective one because I really loves the way it works with my frizzy hair!  I will probably try to get another travel size just to see if its meant to smell like that first,  But defiantly be repurchasing this item.

BH Cosmetics 

receive 10% off the California collection enter code IPSY

Very cute packaging!  It looks like just a mini palette with three color that are, a purple from the Hollywood palette, an brown from the San Francisco palette and a gold from the Malibu palette.  They are pretty colors but do not have good pay off and half fall out.  I will not buy any of these palettes and will be very weary of BH Cosmetics eye shadows until I try a few more.

Coola Mineral sunscreen unscented moisturizer SPF 20 .23 fl. oz. No coupon code.

I like the brand Coola but I do not like their sample sizes.  They seem okay at first but I was shooting the photos for my May 2013 Birchbox when I noticed that the bottle was not even half full.  (Seen here) So sure enough I checked and this one two was the same way.  I guess its not that big of a deal just don't think that your getting a good size sample when in reality its almost as empty as a foil packet.  I have not tried this moisturizer yet I have so may sample moisturizer its going to take awhile to use them all.

Total $35.69

Sunkissed VoxBox

Summer 2013

Dr Scholl's for her, High Heel insole.
I don't wear high heels much mainly because they hurt and they are hard to walk in now (after I had my son).  I think these will work really well. I am looking forward to wear my highs again.  These can be found at Walmart & Target for around $10.99

 Goody's Ouchless hairbands in a pack of five.
I have tried this brand and style before and I love them.  I wear my hair curly most days and I have allot of it.  So when I do need to pull it back for a short period of time its a big deal for me if my hairband leaves that annoying crease in my hair.  These are perfect for solving my problem and when you wearing them on your arm they don't look ridiculous.

• Soft, stretchy material that looks beautiful on the wrist or in the hair!
• From America’s #1 elastics brand, Goody® Ouchless®
• Unique knot style hair ties are perfect for personalizing or dressing up your look.

These can be found at Walmart, Target and most Drug stores for $3.99- $4.99

Olay fresh effects, BB Cream in fair to light
This is one of the largest tube of BB Creams I've ever seen, it will last for a long time.  I have tried this brand before and it is to oily for me.  And does not have good coverage for me either.  I can not wear this brand but I know that other people love it and I will be passing it one to someone else to try for the first time.

 SINFULSHINE with Gel Tech in the color "Come Hither"  This is a new line just released its very shinny and solid in one coat, also easy to work with and wears well. The original formula was more of a matte color, where this new formula is a shinny gel formula that needs no top coat.  I love this polish, color everything about it.  It's my new favorite. I would defiantly recommend picking this up and I will be getting more colors ASAP.  You can find this at Walmart and most drug store for $2.99









Here is a chart of all the new colors.
