July Glossybox // Sea You Soon

in

July Glossybox c/o || Jackie Kennedy Pearl Earrings || Similar Red Dress || 

Good morning and happy Monday, everyone! I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. We had the most fun this past weekend, an absolute blast, that I cannot wait to share some photos from! Our church summer fest (like a fair) was also this past Saturday followed by an outdoor service with the sun setting, which was magical. In the meantime, the big talk around town was if everyone got their lawns mowed, haha. We had rain for the past week and I’m talking about major downpours to the point of flooding, though thankfully the Susquehanna river did not flood it’s banks this time. We had a brief reprieve Saturday and a Sunday with everyone rushing around to fit all of their outdoor activities in while the sun shined, including the lawn. It’s supposed to rain now for another straight week, but I’m hoping the forecast will change eventually. 

Now, onto this months ocean themed Glossy Box! First, how gorgeous is the design created by Sarah Bolton, on the box?! I’m head over heels for it. Anything ocean related makes me happy :). The box itself is perfect for keeping mementoes in. Check out below the products included, many that I’ve used already! 

Skinn Cosmetics Infusion Recover & Renee Single-Use Facial Masks:  I used one of these the other night and LOVED it. My skin felt slightly tingly after the mask had this beautiful glow the next day. All good things, haha! This restorative facial mask is soaked in nutrients like lavender, tamarind seeds and dried apples, it also uses lacticacid for milks exfoliation and vitamin C to help skin appear revitalized. 

Kueshi Facial Makeup Remover: This has to be the best eye makeup remover I have ever used. It did not sting my eyes and actually did get everything off, while also leaving the delicate skin feel soft. I was impressed! The two-part routine uses soft oils to remove ever waterproof makeup and lotion to leave you feeling fresh and clean. 

NCLA So Rich Cuticle Oil In Mermaid Tears: I’ve used this for the past few days and appreciate how it keeps my cuticle area moisturized, plus it has a really nice scent! The vitamin E combined with sunflower seed oil not only nourishes your nails and cuticles, but locks it in for lasting effects. 

John Masters Organics Citris & Neroli Detangler: This is a very lightweight conditioner, not creamy, and sinks right in. The key ingredients like grapefruit and soy protein tone, hydrate and strengthen your hair without layering multiple products. 

John Masters Organics Hair Spray: This hair spray smells so fresh and pretty! It has a touchable hold and non-sticky feel. 

It’s Skin Mini Macaron Lip Balm: This is absolutely adorable and looks just like my favorite cookie. Inside this macaron is a moisturizing nourishment to make your lips as tantalizing as your tan!

Good morning and happy Thursday! Today I’m excited to bring you the latest Glossybox for March, which is celebrating true beauty for International Women’s Day. We’re reflecting on those amazing ladies in our lives who lead by example, lifting us up when we need it, and singing along side of us when we're feeling fabulous. For me, that woman who I admire for her strength, perseverance, ability to do-it-all, and never give up even when life was unfair to her is my mom. She was strong, warm, kind, and represented true beauty to me inside and out. I could not have asked for a better role model or mother. I miss her every single day of my life. Likewise, I’m also teaching all of the qualities my mother instilled in me to my beautiful daughter. My mother’s love and beauty shines bright from within Ava. 

Now, without further ado, onto the beauty box. I love receiving these boxes monthly boxes. It’s like a mini Christmas every time! I’m wearing the eyeshadow stick that’s included and also the concealer and makeup primer all of which I’ll preview below with the product descriptions. This months box is filled with hard-working, multi-benefit products that will keep you looking and feeling like the girl boss you are.  

Cover FX Perfect Pencil Concealer: Tie versatile tool can be used to define lip and eyebrow arches and conceal trouble spots in an instant. This formula is also waterproof. I thought this did a great job at covering up little imperfections like a single pimple here and there.

Designed to keep skin shine-free and perfect all day, this lightweight primer smooths away imperfections and minimizes the look of pores. Another benefit? The multifunctional formula also gifts blemishes, promising nothing but clear days ahead. This went on so smooth and helped my makeup go on even smoother with little shine throughout the day. Definitely a keeper!

Designed to also strengthen your strands against breakage, this nutritive mist, which is infused with coconut oil, Arian oil, avocado oil, and grapeseed oil will keep any style, from beach waves to tight braids, looking fierce.

Ritual Of Sakaura // Glossybox

in

Happy Friday, friends! In all honestly, there are tons of products that I test out for the blog and then tell you about them. Some make it into my everyday routine, but most do not. Being the beauty junkie that I am though, it's incredibly fun to try out new products and see how they work. I took the photos for this limited edition Ritual of Sakura Glossy Box last night so the lighting is horrible, haha, but some unexpected things came up during the day. After the photo set, I got this post put together, then took a shower to test the products, and now I'm writing this. I'm actually really excited to talk about these because I was so impressed with them! This box is available for a limited time with subscribers paying $25 and non-subscriber paying $30. FYI, everything smells AMAZING! I would add every single one of these to my daily routine. They are that good.

  • Ritual Of Sakura Showering Oil: This was one of my favorite products from the group. It smells amazing! Cherry Blossom has always been a favorite scent of mine. The oil comes out as a golden color and then turns into foam once its rubbed in. My skin literally felt like silk. It also has purifying properties of rice milk.
  • Ritual Of Sakura Body Cream: After my shower, I put this body cream on. It has a whipped texture and also smells amazing. Every one of the products smells soooo yummy! This has antioxidant-rich ingredients including vitamin E and Centella Asiatica.
  • Ritual Of Sakura Shower Scrub: This scrub is absolute perfection. It isn't too gritty or coarse, but feels really nice and gentle to rub in and remove dead skin cells. My skin felt so smooth and soft afterwards.
  • Gingko's Secret Hand Balm: This hand balm also smells like cherry blossom with purifying properties of rice milk. Its an oil that turns into a silky foam when it comes into contact with water, leaving skin soft and hydrated. My hands really take a beating in the winter and this is exactly what I need to whip them back into shape! I cannot get over the beautiful scent too.
  • Ritual Of Sakura Bed And Body: This beautiful fragrance will put a smile on your face and in your heart. You can apply this fragrance to your body, bed sheets, around the home, or even in your washing machine to give your clothes the floral aroma of cherry blossoms. I'm addicted to this scent! it also contains moisturizing ingredients and comes in a pretty glass container.

Glitz and Glossy // December Edition

in ,

Hello, December! A new month means a new glossy box with the theme being glitz and glossy. Hey there holiday season! I'm so excited for all of the glitz and glamour that goes along with it. As a reminder, you can get glossy box for $21 per box each month with free shipping. There's nothing like getting five new luxury beauty products each month.

  • MDMflow Semi-matte Lipstick in Bossy: This semi-matte lipstick is jam packed with hydrating ingredients to keep lips from drying out which always happens to me in the winter. Ugh! The color is inspired by the street style of hip hop superstar Kelis. I would describe the shade as a nude taupe.
  • Kristais Cosmetics Diamond Select Anti-Gravity Spark Eye Mask: I haven't used this yet, but I'm planning on using it before some upcoming holiday events. The diamond powder works with the collagen and lavender oil which helps reduce sagging and provide hydration. No more tired eyes!
  • Luxie Beauty Onyx Noir Small Tapered Blending Brush: Blending eye shadow colors was never easier than with this precise brush. I think its important to note that Luxie Beauty is hypoallergenic, cruelty free, and all of their products are vegan.
  • MeMeMe Beat the Blue Skin Illuminator: This has to be my favorite item in the box this month. Obsessed! I'm all about adding a little glow to my daily makeup routine and who doesn't want to look their best for the holidays?! I used the brush to draw on some of the highlighter on the bridge of my nose, top of my cheekbones, cupids box, and on top of my brow bone. Simply use your finger then to blend.
  • Harajuku Lovers Pop Electric Eau de Parfum Spray by Gwen Stefani: I've actually been wanting to try Gwen Stefani's perfumes ever since they came out so I was pleasantly surprised to see one in this box! The vibrant colors of the bottles are eye catching while the pop art theme takes me back to the 1950s. Scents will vary between boxes.

Glossy Box

GlossyBox c/o || LC Lauren Conrad Cold Shoulder Sweater (Sold Out) Similar Here || Paige Skinny Jeans || Christian Paul Watch c/o || Jackie Kennedy Emerald Unity Band || Jackie Kennedy Unity Band ||

Happy Friday, friends! One thing I don't usually talk too much about is beauty. I dabble in it here and there, but I wouldn't say I'm an expert at it. I am a complete beauty junkie though! I love trying out new products or trying to find the perfect shade of lipstick. I can't even tell you how many lipsticks I own or how many you may find in my bag at one moment. I was so intrigued when I heard about Glossybox, the leader in luxury beauty boxes in the U.S. Once a month, you get a beautifully designed box filled with at least 5 deluxe sized beauty products. I mean seriously, the box is so pretty! I took a picture of the inside of the lid of box because I was so impressed. The products in this box were inspired by what insiders use for last minute touch ups at Fashion Week. The theme of the box design was a secret garden inspired by the floral print trends of past and present fashion collections.

The theme could not have been more spot on with the Fashion Weeks going on in September. The box is gorgeous and I'm keeping it to store some pretty goodies in. My inner girly girl was grinning from ear to ear when I opened the box and saw the products inside which included:

  • Sally Hershberger 24K Supreme Stylist Dry Shampoo (Great for giving texture and volume)
  • Sesderma Sensyeses Cleanser & C-VitMoisturizing Serum (Haven't used yet, but excited to)
  • Korres Modern Greek Apothecary Twist Lipstuck (My color was charm. Beautiful!!)
  • Modellauncher Brow Duo Pencil (I have thick brows and this is fabulous for filling them in. Comes with a little brush too!)
  • Vince Camuto Capri Eau De Parfum (Yummiest smelling parfum. Cannot stop smelling it! )

There are four different monthly billing plans you can subscribe to. You can find the information on that here. I have to say I'm officially a Glossie now! Who doesn't love getting some beauty goodies sent to their doorstep every month?!
