May 2012: My Gossip Girl Birchbox

May 22, 2012 By StephanieLouise 7985 Commentshttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2012%2F05%2Fmay-2012-my-gossip-girl-birchbox.htmlMay+2012%3A+My+Gossip+Girl+Birchbox2012-05-22+17%3A57%3A00StephanieLouisehttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2012%2F05%2Fmay-2012-my-gossip-girl-birchbox.html


I waited so impatiently for this Birchbox. I mean really, I felt like a 15 year old waiting for prom. When Gossip Girl first started, I loved it. I still enjoy seeing the fashion from the show as its all really varied but seriously striking. I’m always happy to see Serena (Blake Lively) & Blair (Leighton Meester) gracing the pages in my many (MANY) magazine subscriptions. When Birchbox managed to team up with Gossip Girl I expected something incredible.


Perhaps that was my fault. Maybe I expected too much. If I had run things, there would have been a Blair  box & a Serena box filled with fabulous items dedicated to your favorite GG character. I would have gone classy but fun & really aimed to outdo the other boxes. I mean, this is Gossip Girl after all. Although some people did get fabulous boxes with full size Stila items, I did not. However, I am not reviewing those boxes, I am reviewing my own. Here is what I did receive.

– A small sample of Miss Dior Eau de Parfum. This is a very girl scent that I actually quite like. A small sample though so I only get a few tries to judge longevity.


– Diorshow Extase mascara in a sample size.

– Miracle Skin Transformer Body SPF in Glow. I have tried this. I instantly knew it was super sheer & although I tried to layer it over a scar, it just didn’t work for me at all. It has a strange sheen as well which would be fine except that I didn’t expect it to.

– Cleansing Oil Shampoo from Shu Uemura. This only had about 2 uses in it for my thick hair but I got the gist of it. I don’t feel like it was incredibly mind blowing (which for $55 it needs to be) but maybe its only because I got two uses. My hair feels clean but  it didn’t do anything brilliant.

-A baby poop colored notecard. I saw this phrase on Pink Sith’s blog & have not been able to get it out of my head. Its just too fitting. I doubt I will ever use this, at least not on someone Ilike.

I will say, the below card ticked me off. I mean, if I watched the show, I would have been livid about the leaked information. I don’t really know what this card pertains to because I don’t watch it but if they ever include a True Blood card like this before a season finale, there will be hell to pay.

Overall, this box is meh. I mean, its not awful but not great. If I hadn’t seen other boxes (but how could I not?) maybe I would be a tad happier but still not beaming. For $10, I’m not dying about it. I think the issues I have mainly are that the shampoo & the DIOR items are pretty much freebies. I feel like overall, this box is lacking & doesn’t compare to many of my former boxes. I’m not dropping out yet, I’ll give it another shot. I just hope I get a glimpse of the wonderful boxes I used to look forward to every month.

PINK by MAHYA- The Most Fabulous Glitters (including a holo!)

May 21, 2012 By StephanieLouise 7999 Commentshttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2012%2F05%2Fpink-by-mahya-most-fabulous-glitters.htmlPINK+by+MAHYA-+The+Most+Fabulous+Glitters+%28including+a+holo%21%292012-05-21+00%3A51%3A00StephanieLouisehttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2012%2F05%2Fpink-by-mahya-the-most-fabulous-glitters-including-a-holo.html

Are you ready for a glitter extravaganza? I don’t hear enough wonderful things about Mahya, let alone about these incredibly gorgeous & versatile glitters. Mahya has a pretty wide range of shades including my personal favorite (Jewell) which is a fine holo. Endless options, fabulous glue, & the differences can all be found in this post! I can’t WAIT to get more to show you!

 From Mahya Minerals Website:

  • This is NOT your normal teenage glitter that leaves you looking like a disco ball!
  • Very adult, very sexy!
  • Add to you favorite shadow, blush, and lip color for added shimmer.
  • Add to your body lotion and apply to add stunning highlights.
  • Add to hair gel and apply, or sprinkle into you hair brush, brush through, and spray with hairspray to hold shimmers in.
  • Fun additions to your makeup case!
  • Cosmetic grade glitters to add flash and glam!
  • Each color is a multi-faceted explosion of colors!
  • Add to your eye-shadow for extra FLASH.

What I Say: 

Let’s start off with the 4 glitters shall we? I have 6 items total (plus the Eye Glitter Gel!) but 2 are a different type. The glitters are all very different & finer than I had expected. Jewell & Citrine are noticeably finer than both First Date & Kisses. Don’t get me wrong, I like having multiple size options. If you guys want a comparison for the glitter size, I’ll be happy to do that as well. Because they are so fine, I recommend not removing the plastic sticker that goes atop the sifter completely. I use tiny scissors & only remove 1-2 holes so that I have better control of the glitter.

Now let’s talk about Starry Night & Twilight! These are from a different line called Glittery Minerals. These are basically eyeshadows mixed with glitters so they have a bit of both. I love these! Each has a base that covers the spaces that glitters often leave. This allows you to use them on their own, preferably under a base for tackiness. I do highly recommend the Mahya Eyeshadow base as its very tacky but using the Glitter Eye Gel in conjunction isn’t a bad idea either.

The Glitter Eye Gel I have is in a pot & you get a lot. It doesn’t dry out & seals really well. On the site, it is now available in a tube with a wand. I haven’t tried this method from Mahya yet but if I do, I will be sure to let you know which I prefer. This is incredible, not too thick or thin. I apply it with an angled eyeliner brush for a bit of accuracy. You can definitely dab it on & then apply the glitter when its tacky. This hold the glitter like crazy. I haven’t tried many glitter glue type products but this was definitely impressive in both ease of use & the longevity of wear.

Glitters:
– Kisses: A medium pink glitter.
– First Date: A medium purple glitter.
– Citrine: An gold toned bronze ultra fine glitter.
– Jewell: An ultra fine silver holo glitter.

Glittery Minerals:
– Twilight: A blurple (yes, blue & purple) powder that is so sparkling it looks to be glitter in a super fine form. This has a smoky base.
– Starry Night: A black/charcoal base with black & silver glitter.

So basically, you need at least ten of these. Maybe 50. I am now pretty obsessed & desperately need to collect every single one. There are so many I want now & I can’t wait to try these with clear nail polish! I mean, the possibilities are pretty much endless! From the Glittery Minerals line, I’m dying to try Radiant, Summer, & Sneaking Out. From the Glitters I think next I need to get my hands on Aquamarine, Ladies Night, Gem, & Sassy Brassy. After shopping around, I pretty much need them all.

To pick these items up, just check out the Mahya Minerals website. I am not an affiliate so the following links are a courtesy: Glittery Minerals, Glitters, & Glitter Eye Gel.

I have some eye looks coming up using these soon so stay tuned for those, they are quite lovely if I do say so myself!

These products were provided for review from Mahya Minerals but this in no way effects my review or opinions. These are my honest opinions.

Minerals Mate in ‘Red at Play’ Review & Giveaway!

May 10, 2012 By StephanieLouise 80629 Commentshttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2012%2F05%2Fminerals-mate-in-red-at-play-review.htmlMinerals+Mate+in+%27Red+at+Play%27+Review+%26+Giveaway%212012-05-10+13%3A14%3A00StephanieLouisehttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2012%2F05%2Fminerals-mate-in-red-at-play-review-giveaway.html

So Minerals Mate was kind enough to send me a this dandy tool that has quickly been entered into my must haves. I am an avid mineral makeup user & loose makeup in general. I love pressed makeup as well, but loose minerals are so easy to work…with a few exceptions. The mess is clearly the main one! I mean, I have to prep myself to clean up every time I use a loose product. Eyeshadow flies, blush spills, & foundation disappears in a puff of wasted funds.

Minerals Mate is pretty incredible, from the lightweight design to the ease of clean it has definitely made my life run a bit smoother. No more wasting & less mess honestly makes my life much simpler.

This is a sturdy palette, unlike some I’ve had in the past that either cracked or just didn’t have large enough wells. The wells for this are not only a good size, but they come with lids that fit atop them so you can save your items. My favorite part of this is that when I become a  shade darker or lighter, I just mix it as I need to. This allows me to save my perfect shade.

My second favorite part is the ease of foiling that this product gives. Anyone who foils eyeshadows will understand the mess involved! This lets me do it in a sanitary spot (as opposed to my skin…guilty…) & even add other shades to create something custom. I love foiling shades to make eyeliner so this is perfect!

The thumb grip also doubles as a brush cleaner/scrubber but I just use it as a grip. Maybe later on or when traveling I will try to use it as a scrubber? But for now, this lets me safely hold the palette by keeping my fingers out of my clean minerals & not dropping it on my floor.

Here it is against my nails so you can see how thin it is!

Now, for the big bang, the most excited part! I CAN PUT IT IN THE DISHWASHER! Not what you were expecting? Well how many other beauty products can I put int he dishwasher? Seriously!

You can also pick this up in different designs, but ‘Red at Play’ is definitely my personal favorite!Although these retail for $21.95 I have a discount code for 25% off! Just use the code 2468MINERALSMATE at checkout.

UPDATE: These have been reduced to $19.95!

May 2012: Glossybox has Come to the USA!

May 4, 2012 By StephanieLouise 8116 Commentshttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2012%2F05%2Fmay-2012-glossybox-has-come-to-usa.htmlMay+2012%3A+Glossybox+has+Come+to+the+USA%212012-05-04+04%3A01%3A00StephanieLouisehttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2012%2F05%2Fmay-2012-glossybox-has-come-to-the-usa.html

Disclaimer: Normally I put these at the end of posts but this one needs to be at the beginning. This is NOT a regular Glossybox & I don’t want you guys thinking this is what you will get if you sign up. This is an amazing launch box filled with 5 full size products & 1 sample pack that was distributed to some people (me because I’m a blogger) or won by others. This is NOT how most boxes will be. Glossybox generally contains at least 5 products, one being full sized. They work with some amazing brands as well so I do believe this is a good representation of the types of brands we will be seeing in this new subscription service. I didn’t want to mislead any of my readers as this isn’t exactly an example of what you will be getting from Glossybox. Once again, this was in celebration of their launch. A big thanks to Pink Sith for letting us know this information.

Okay, now onto the FUN stuff! This is some of the most beautiful & chic packaging ever to hit my doorway, & I’ve seen some beauts. The box it comes in has the logo & glossy box on it, then a beautiful, pink hard box that I can see myself storing all sorts of things in. Next is some information tied with a bow.

Next up is a “Trend Guide” & Info Card. I love this guide & find it to be a very fun addition. Inside are places for you to write notes along with information about the samples & advice about them. This is organized by oconic places & shows their beauty trends. Fun stuff!

The products are wrapped in a light pink paper with travel landmarks, so fashionable! I see myself hoarding these boxes in the future, so sturdy & pretty!

What I received are 5 full size products & one set of sample packs. Here’s what they all look like:
Kiss Me on My Tulips Nail Polish by OPI which retails for $8.50 for 0.5oz.

Initial Reaction: If you put OPI in a box, I will likely buy it. I love this shade & I don’t own it yet. I have so many nail polishes but this is a welcomed addition. I have this issue with needing every polish like…ever.
High Gloss Brilliant Lip Shine in Toffee by Kryolan which retails for $18 for 4ml.

Initial Reaction: I have always heard the most incredible things about Kryolan but somehow have never managed to have my own to play with. This gloss is very large & a lovely shade.
Lavender & Peppermint Body Lotion by C.O. Bigelow which retails for $12 for 5.2oz.

Initial Reaction: I am a lavender addict so I will be testing this out happily. It smells great in the bottle but for the price I do so hope it performs.
Cucumber Tea Eye Gel from Basq which retails for $24 for 0.5oz.

Initial Reaction: This has a very strong smell that has turned off some other reviewers. I will test it out because I am constantly looking for the perfect eye creams & gels. I’ve used the same gel for years though (from Olay) so this had better bring its A game.
EyeBronzer by CARGO which retails for $22 for 0.035oz.


Initial Reaction: Cargo, we have been apart for too long. This looks lovely & perfect for summer. I can already tell you my blue eyes will love this shade.

& last is a sample pack of the Hollywood Collection by Erno Lazlo which are all creams.

Initial Reaction: These are all named after icons: Ava, Katharine, Marilyn, Grace and Greta so they better make me look fabulous. No really, if you slap their names on something it must be a holy grail item.

I’m sorry I couldn’t review this service as a whole although I am incredibly grateful they were thoughtful enough to send this along. I don’t want anyone misinterpreting this box though, thus the long disclaimer. Looking at just the brands, these are way impressive & definitely something I’m interested to see more of. The price tag for this box is DOUBLE that of many other beauty subscription box service chiming in at $21. If you had received my box, I would say that price tag is more than worth it. Because I do not know what will be in the actual batch of boxes I can’t say if it worth it or not.  I do so wish they had sent me a box that everyone else will be getting so I can tell you if its worth the price but alas, I cannot. Yet.

What I CAN say is that I will be subscribing as soon as possible & giving it a shot. If this month’s MyGlam bag stinks then I will be canceling it anyways. I look forward to seeing more from Glossybox & am excited to see what they bring to the table. They are so wildly popular in other countries I’m excited it has arrived here in the US. This appears to run differently than Birchbox & more like Beauty Army by opening up subscriptions for a brief period every month. To put your e-mail in the pot & sign up to get notified when these boxes are available, simply go to http://www.glossybox.com. These subscriptions should be available sometime in May 2012.

I look forward to hearing what you hope to see from Glossybox, what you think of the brands, & what you have seen from bloggers & vloggers from other countries who have had Glossybox!

Glamazon Spring 2012 Collab: Coral Eyeshadow for Daytime

April 29, 2012 By StephanieLouise 8145 Commentshttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2012%2F04%2Fglamazon-spring-2012-collab-coral.htmlGlamazon+Spring+2012+Collab%3A+Coral+Eyeshadow+for+Daytime2012-04-29+14%3A39%3A00StephanieLouisehttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2012%2F04%2Fglamazon-spring-2012-collab-coral-eyeshadow-for-daytime.html

Are you as obsessed as I am with all the corals this season? I have always been a coral fan (makeup artists say it pops on me!) but I’m glad to have so many more choices. I have scarves, shoes, sunglasses, clothes, & tons of makeup. What was I lacking? The perfect coral eyeshadow.

I find so often that these are either hard to wear or too orange for what I’m looking for. I found it when I wasn’t looking of course! The star of this look is an Essence eyeshadow for only $1.99 I picked up at ULTA.  This look only requires 2 shades which makes it very easy to recreate yourself.

Natural light.
Looks a bit more orange with flash.

My goal was to make it wearable while still being fun. What do you think? Is this a daytime look you would rock? This was an AWFUL skin day for me but hopefully it doesn’t distract you too much!

What I’m Wearing:

Eyes:
– Too Faced Shadow Insurance
– Essence single eyeshadow in Shrimp Me Up which looks SO pink online but it is much more coral/peach.
– Everyday Minerals eyeshadow in Sea Horse is used all over the lid as the base color, in the inner corners lightly, & as the highlight shade.
– Physician’s Formula Shimmer Liner pencil in Black for Blue Eyes
– LASHEM Double Trouble Mascara in Black (both sides)

Lips:
-Victoria’s Secret Beauty Rush Lip Gloss in Red Delicious.

Face:
– Revlon Photo Ready Foundation + a bit of Revlon ColorStay mixed together
– Revlon Photo Ready Concealer
– MAC blush in Bite of an Apple. Blush was applied very lightly!
-ELF All Over Color Stick in Spotlight applied atop cheekbones & blended out.

Earrings are from Forever 21, necklace is vintage, & my top is from Banana Republic.

A few of us in the Glamazon group participated in creating a spring entry, I’ll be sure to post links to the other posts as soon as I have them all!

MyGlam Bag April 2012…Underwhelming but Funny.

April 19, 2012 By StephanieLouise 8197 Commentshttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2012%2F04%2Fmyglam-bag-april-2012underwhelming-but.htmlMyGlam+Bag+April+2012...Underwhelming+but+Funny.2012-04-19+13%3A43%3A00StephanieLouisehttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2012%2F04%2Fmyglam-bag-april-2012-underwhelming-but-funny.html

 If you saw my April Birchbox review/unboxing, then you know I wasn’t impressed. Then I opened my MyGlam bag (also $10) & was underwhelmed. Again.


At this point I feel like I’m getting a MyGlam bag just to be let down. For one thing, they don’t address customer issues the right way. I feel like they have tried sweeping things under the rug & making big excuses instead of just doing the right thing & straight-up apologizing. Here’s what I’ve been hearing:

“Aren’t the brushes nice? She went all the way to another country & hand picked them for you!” 

Eh, they’re okay. Still smell a bit funky. I don’t see a difference from the two brushes in this bag & my ELF ones. Except that ELF packages them for me so they arrive in good shape.

“What about the eyeliner! Its Urban Decay!”

Yes, I know this! I do love Urban Decay! However, I have this shade & although I love it, wish I had gotten something else. I don’t hate this pencil, I just already own it. In a full size.

“Okay, well everyone loves false lashes!”

You know what, I do like false lashes sometimes. Not often do I wear a full set, but I do like them. You know what I don’t like? That the only thing I can read in English on this whole package is what I assume to be the brand name & the following phrases:

1. Yellow Haunt. WTF IS THIS?
2. Kevin. Um okay Kevin, what can you tell me about these lashes man?
3. Gamma Ray Sterilization. …WHAT?
4. Natural Soft Comfort. Natural for who? No, really?
5. We love the Earth. Me too man, internet high five.

“Wow, you guys are hard to please! Here’s a FULL SIZE lippie from Dermstore!”

Let’s get this straight, I love Dermstore. Really I do. But this lip quench was NOT created for me. It feels like I put silicone directly onto my lips & its wicked thick. The shimmers isn’t bad but the smell is. I say it smells like some kind of chemicals. Husband said it smelled like rotten skittles. Either way, not sexy.

Below are the swatches of my Urban Decay pencil in Radium & the Dermstore Lip Quench . You can see the lip quench is super heavy & thick in the middle. I smoothed out the edges so you could tell how thick it is.

So there you go! That’s my MyGlam bag summed up in a more entertaining form. What did you think of yours? Am I being a negative nancy? What issues have YOU had with MyGlam?

Birthday 2012: Purple Smoky Eye using L’Oreal, Physician’s Formula, & Wet n Wild

April 10, 2012 By StephanieLouise 8285 Commentshttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2012%2F04%2Fbirthday-2012-purple-smoky-eye-using.htmlBirthday+2012%3A+Purple+Smoky+Eye+using+L%27Oreal%2C+Physician%27s+Formula%2C+%26+Wet+n+Wild2012-04-10+17%3A48%3A00StephanieLouisehttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2012%2F04%2Fbirthday-2012-purple-smoky-eye-using-loreal-physicians-formula-wet-n-wild.html

For those of you who didn’t know, my birthday was this past Saturday! I turned 23 & had a fun day with the hubby which included lots of relaxing & ended with sushi! Yum! I was going to film & such more on my birthday but my hubby finally convinced me it was time to step away & have a short break. No work on your birthday! He was right of course! But I still snapped some pictures to show you my eyeshadow which I think turned out rather lovely. Another purple smoky eye? You bet. What can I say? I know what I like!

What I have on:

Eyes:
-Urban DecayOriginal Eye Primer
– Wet n Wild Color Icon Single in Kitten (used as the base lid color)
– Wet n Wild Color Icon Single in Panther (used to darken the outside corner on both lashlines)
– L’Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow in Perpetual Purple (blended into the crease then used to line my eyes)

– Physician’s Formula Mineral Glow Pearls in Translucent Pearl (Cupid’s bow & blended on browbone)

– Physician’s Formula Mineral Glow Pearls in Translucent Pearl (Cupid’s bow & blended on browbone)

So what do you guys think? I didn’t want to go very dark & I think it turned out great. Please note my hair is pulled back in a clip & I’m wearing a T-shirt..clearly I do my makeup before my clothes! What are some of your favorite purple shades?

Physician’s Formula Casual Eye Palette Swatches, Review, & Eye Look

March 28, 2012 By StephanieLouise 8401 Commenthttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2012%2F03%2Fphysicians-formula-casual-eye-palette.htmlPhysician%27s+Formula+Casual+Eye+Palette+Swatches%2C+Review%2C+%26+Eye+Look2012-03-28+19%3A11%3A00StephanieLouisehttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2012%2F03%2Fphysicians-formula-casual-eye-palette-swatches-review-eye-look.html

The Physician’s Formula Casual Eye Palette is only the first of the 4 palettes I’ll be reviewing in the super cute & original packaging. Coated in jean fabric with a zipper it is possibly my favorite. I mean really, how cute is that? I wanted to start with this because  feel like its perfect for the season ahead. Plus, look how it makes my baby blues pop! I chose to work with the middle 3 shades because I wanted kind of a casual look. I’ll have to take pictures of the other shades though because they are gorgeous! Interested? Keep reading!

I found all of these very blendable, like all of the PF palettes I own. The colors are definitely different but that’s what I like about it! Once again, these are not for a matte lover as they are all very shimmery. I think they are very easy to work with. Like all of these type of palettes though, the colors are RIGHT beside each other so you don’t get tons of any one color & it can be a tad messy over time. For me, its worth it though! I recommend checking out CVS sales because they tend to be the best for PF products. I’ve picked up some at around $3-$4 which is a steal! Also, this is one of the very few brushes I actually use. Its got a pointed sponge tip perfect for the shadow liner. The zipper obviously makes it a bit difficult to store but the cuteness factor overrides that for me.

Like I said, here’s the 3 middle blue shades used as recommended. I liked how simple a look it was & I got quite few compliments on it. I think blue eyeshadow/liner has a bit of a bad rep even today so its funny. I probably get the most compliments when I am wearing blue or purple! My bronzer is the new pH bronzer & my lips are rocking a Revlon Lip Butter in Strawberry Shortcake.

 I think that about sums it up! You guys know I love these palettes, do you? Which is your favorite? & how about this packaging? Also, I think its time for my big, giant lip butter post soon! Any thoughts on those before it goes live?

*Product sent in consideration of review.

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bold Gold & The Body Needs Aspen Gold

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bold Gold & The Body Needs Aspen Gold
So I wore this look a few days ago & really loved it. I knew I wanted to use Maybelline’s 24 Hour Color Tattoo as my base because it had been…one of THOSE days! Humid, blah, meh. So Bold Gold it was & my goodness is it a stunning gold or what? Normally I use these as a base & cover them up, but not this time! I was feeling the gold so I pulled out a crease shade. I love gold & green so it was natural I would reach for The Body Needs eyeshadow in Aspen Gold for my crease shade. A light dust of my Become Beauty Bronzer/Highlight duo on the highlight side (this contest is still open guys, remember to enter!) & I was thrilled.
