This month Glossybox really delivered! A full size Tarte product? A full size nail polish? Perfume samples I can appreciate? & a hair + body product too? YES! This month the box was also absolutely gorgeous & designed & put together by Dallas Shaw. The box is beautiful, the contents are lovely, & I loved he GlossyMag! Keep reading to see what was inside!

So the box was lovely with a Dallas Shaw design. I’ll have to find a pretty place to use it! I really liked the card inside as well. It was a bit different, almost like a blog photo layout I’d come up with!

The GlossyMag had her on the cover as well. I try to share my favorite page every month…this month it was this absolutely stunning Oscar de la Renta dress!

C.Booth Honey Almond Nourishing Dry Oil Mist- I absolutely love this dry oil! A full size is $8 for 4 fl oz so this is a 1/2 size sample at 2 fl oz. I love dry oils because the absorb right into the skin & this scent, love! It smells like sweet almonds & a tad of honey. I use it on my body but it says you can use it on the face as well! I usually need something a bit richer though!

Oscar de la Renta Essential Luxuries 6 Sampler- This is how you do fragrance samplers right! I actually enjoy trying new fragrances but one little vial doesn’t quite feel like a luxury sample. 6 of them does! I got 6 different Oscar de la Renta scents in Oriental Lace, Granada, Sargasso, Coralina, Santo Domingo, & Mi Corazon.

Philip B. Light-Weight Deep Conditioning Creme Rinse- I haven’t tried this product yet! This is supposed to increase hair’s elasticity & strength. It contains African shea butter, wheat germ, & soy protein. It is cruelty free & says you can use it as a regular conditioner or leave it in for up to 20 minutes.

SpaRitual Nail Polish in Shooting Star- I really enjoy SpaRitual nail polishes but they are kind of tough to find. They are naturally formulated, vegan, certified-organic, & made using fair-trade ingredients. I love this shimmery purple!

Tarte Complexion Enhancing Lipstick- The superstar of this box is a full sized Tarte lip product for me! I received the shade meant for fair-to-light skintones but in the swatches you can see on the right is the shade in medium-to-tan which I also had on hand. This is an ultra creamy lipstick with a glossy tinted core that is supposed to give the appearance of fuller-looking lips.

All in all, definitely a great box! I found some new products that I really love! Glossybox is a monthly beauty subscription that brings products straight to your door each month for $21.

So this is my first Beauty Box 5 in awhile & it is from June. I wanted to make sure I used the products & because I’ve been sick I’ve been super lax with beauty related things. I’m tired ya’ll! I’m finally starting to feel better (which is AMAZING by the way!) so I’m excited to get my pep back & show you what I got! I received some items I already know I love & some new things! Ch-ch-check it out!

Coolway Cool Cleanse Shampoo & Hydrate Conditioner- This brand is new to me but definitely appealed to me because it is hydrating. My hair tends to lean dry even in the summer so I felt like it was meant for me. I’m trying to pinpoint the scent, it smells slightly herbal & lemony? I like it, especially for summer. It isn’t intensely hydrating but it left my hair feeling clean & not dry.

Just Being Sexy Body Bronzer- I got two decent sized foil packets which is decent, the full size is 6oz & retails for $49.00 so I had high expectations. it is rare I splurge that much on bronzing lotions! This hs a nice thin texture, almost gel, packed with bronze shimmer. I wasn’t all that excited upon first glance, it looked really bronze! Instead it ended up looking really subtle-y glowing (I didn’t apply a ton) & it smelled great. If you like kind of even scents, nothing too fruity or floral, I think you’ll like this because it smells kind of like a hair product like shampoo!

Aveeno Protext + Hydrate Sunscreen Lotion- I’m a big Aveeno fan so I was surprised & delighted to see this inside! BB5 tends to show more brands that are harder to find but this was a nice treat! Obviously I try lots of different products but I tend to go for Aveeno when I need some fast SPF on the go. This has an SPF of 30 & doesn’t clash with perfumes.

Brazen Cosmetics Eyeshadow in Commando- This is a pretty shade but I’m still deciding how to wear it. It is really neutral & matte as a base but it also has pinky-purple shimmer. I don’t think I’ll wear it as a brow highlight but I think it’ll be a pretty base shade!

All in all, a very nice box! An eyeshadow, lotion, bronzer, & a shampoo & conditioner duo. Nice variety! Beauty Box 5 is a monthly beauty subscription service, check it out here! Have you ever subscribed to Beauty Box 5? Interested after seeing this box?

When it comes to subscription boxes, Ipsy has majorly impressed me over the past few months. Because I’ve been so sick & sound like a crone, I haven’t been doing videos. Boo. But I did want to share my box with you regardless! Again, another nice one! Keep reading to see what was inside for only $10 a month!

For those unfamiliar, for only $10 a month you get a bag full of full sized/sample sized beauty items. You usually get 5 & it always comes in a bag. In the end, you have a lot of bags. But this month, I LOVE it! Neon & animal print? So stinking cute! Perfect for the “On the Wild Side” theme this month as well!

Inside my bag this month:

NYX Rouge Cream Blush in Boho Chic: This is a full sized blush & my first creme from NYX. This is a lovely, natural pink with a slight shimmer. It looks more glowy on the skin though. The consistency is very thin & not all that pigmented because it is a lighter shade. I’ll have to work with this more but I definitely like this as a layering shade.

Psssst! Dry Shampoo: I’ve reviewed this dry shampoo before & am always grateful for a travel size for vacation or for my purse. Great dry shampoo.

Starlooks Lip Pencil in Tipsy: Surprisingly…my favorite item in this months bag! This pencil is a brightened pink toned coral & I just love it! I can see myself wearing this a lot during the summer.

Cailyn Line-Fix Gel Eyeliner in Iron: This is a cool gel liner but for me the packaging is kind of bulky with the built in brush & such. The iron shade is nice but didn’t blow me away. I didn’t like the brush.

J-Cat Sparkling Cream Palette in Suzie: This reminds me a lot of my NYX creme glitter palette but this seems like it has more glitter. These are nice neutral shades & I think they’re fun. I personally love glitz though.

Overall, this wasn’t my favorite bag but it was still a great value. If you’re interested in trying Ipsy out for yourself, please use my referral code! I’d appreciate it! In the end, I’m getting use out of the blush year round, I already like the dry shampoo, & the lipliner is fab. Happy girl!
