Target Beauty Box, Back to College Unboxing...

I was very pleased to be able to snag a couple of the Target Back to College Beauty Boxes when they came out. It certainly helps to get alerts because these $5 beauties always sell out quickly!

At first I thought there was only one box so I purchased two. One for me and one for my mother-in-law that loves these things too.  Then after telling a co-worker about the box I realized there was another one!  Luckily I was able to score that one as well.  So let's see how I did for $5 a box, shall we?

 

First up is the Honor Roll box (this is the one I purchased two of):

 

July Boxycharm Unboxing!!!

This is only my second Boxycharm and I have to say that I am even more in love!  I can't believe the value that they continue to give to their customers!  Huzzah Boxycharm, Huzzah!

Without further ado I will jump right into the box because frankly, I'm excited!

The reason for my excitement?  Well it's right there folks. Every product in this box is going to get used up. That is a box success!

First up the MDM flow Greater Than Mascara:

I haven't tried this one out yet, but the packaging is gorgeous and the brush looks like it will do wonders.  I will definitely keep this one on the sidelines for when my current mascara runs out!


Then Boxycharm included this brush:

This feels like a very nice blush brush. I'll always take more brushes in my arsenal! 

It seems like the item most people were complaining about this month is the one I'm the most excited for:

Ofra Lip-liner in nude.  This is great. I don't have any lip-liners at all, and all the color lipsticks I wear on an every day basis are nudes and neutrals.  Some people received eyeliner instead of the lip-liner. I'm quite happy with what I got because I prefer wet eyeshadow instead of eyeliner.

Next up is the I'll Make You Look Amazing Daily Spray by Gorge:

This smells wonderful and is supposed to protect against all sorts of hair abuse.  Since I curl and blow-dry my hair this product is going to get put through its paces!  Also there is a $20 off coupon on the back of the bottle. So if I like it I can snag more at a deep discount, yay!!


Finally, and I am really thrilled about this one, is the yourMinerals Transparent Veil Setting Powder:

I swear to you I was about to head out and purchase the Bare Minerals Mineral Veil, then this came!  I'm happy because it is not shiny, the powder is very fine, and it goes on clear but still tones down the oily look on my face.  Summer is the pits because of sweat and oil, but this stuff helps a lot!

This was another great box put out by Boxycharm and I'm going to use everything in it!  I can't wait to see what they will stash into my 3rd box next month!

July Birchbox Unboxing...

Let me begin with a disclaimer. I did not like the Birchbox sample choice this month. AT ALL. I wish I could have opted out of it, but I couldn't.  Bright lips are not my thing.  I can't even rock a red lip.  I just don't.

With that out of the way lets get on to the nitty gritty:

July Birchbox Unboxing!!!

I love how bright the box is this month!  It's super cute! It reminds me of my childhood, scrunchies, side ponytails, ratted hair, jelly shoes, the works!

The theme this month is go bold and they certainly did with the packaging (inside and out!)

July Julep Unboxing...

It has been a whirlwind of a month!!!  I've been more focused on my new job and the craziness of this month (more on that later) than I've been on blogging.

But no worries, I've still been getting my boxes and taking pictures so without further ado, 

The July Julep Unboxing!!

I had a hard time picking out my box this month for Julep.  It's all the new and wonderful products they keep coming out with.  So because I was able to snag a free bonus lipstick in this months box, I decided to go with more of a makeup theme than I'm used to.  Let's see how it goes.
