My Top Three Beauty Boxes...

I decided its time I unsubscribe on a few of my monthly beauty subscriptions, I mean they start to really add up at the end of the month $$$... To help me make the best choice I decided to compare them with each other and choose the one that best meets my taste. The perfect box for me would have to come with a combination of products that are useful for me like makeup, hair products, nail polishes and some skin care... I'm not a big fan of skincare products however since my skin is so sensitive I hardly can try any of them. 

$21 A Month!

The first one I want to talk about is with my all time favorite Glossybox, this one is really my favorite as they always send me the best items, full size surprises and things I can use. Thanks to Glossybox every month I get to try a brands that I otherwise would not even think of.


Februarys box was no different the box came with a full size Lauren b. nail polish, anatomicals under eye patches, a full size Sumita beauty black eye color which is AMAZINGLY pigmented and does not smudge, Pureology leave in anti fade hair beautifier, and a skin & co truffle therapy serum. Apart from the serum I will be using ALL of my goodies in this box. 

$10 A Month
Ipsy is one of my most recent subscriptions and so far it has been a good pick. I like that you get a different little bag every month and its more makeup and less skincare which I love!  


March Ipsy's bag came with a cute colorful makeup bag, NYX 3 color eye shadow, Pixi flawless beauty primer, Chella Eyeliner Pencil, and a bare Minerals moxie trial size lipstick. This months ipsy bag was filled with a good selection of makeup products that I will be trying out.

$10 A Month
Birchbox is really hanging by a very thin line with me, they are very unpredictable and can switch it up from lame to awesome from month to month. Why I stick around? I really don't know I guess because when its good its really good? I think this might be the last month Im subscribed to this one...   


March's birchbox was full of blah products a sample size cherie blossom perfume, an impossible to open Minteas, Gilchrist & Soames bidy lotion, Beauty Protector leave in conditioner, Ghirardelli chocolate, and Coola mineral sunscreen. This is one of those boxes that I personally can do without aside from the leave in hair conditioner and the lotion I think everything else is going in my re-gifting piles which happen to all come from Birchboxes.

Treat Your Feet/ Trata Tus Pies Como Se Merecen!

If there ever was a time your feet needed all the TLC possible is in the summer. Think about it, all we do is expose our feet. We walk around in flip-flops all day, walk barefoot in the rocky beaches of MA, expose it to the chlorine in our pools, and then force them into high heels and dance on them all night! At the end of the night if you took 2 minutes of your time and rubbed a little of this magic potion your feet will thank you, and not to mention it will feel oh so good. I love this foot cream from Sabon, I first tried a sample I received in my Birchbox one month and I'm hooked for life. I not only use it on my feet but also my super dry hands and elbows. This amazing foot cream is rich in antioxidants, shea butter, aloe and to soothe and anti-funfal camphor and menthol, try it you will love it for sure! 

Si alguna vez hubo un tiempo que tus pies necesitan todo el cariño posible es en el verano. Piensa en ello, todo lo que hacemos es exponer a nuestros pies. Caminar todo el día en sandalias, caminar descalzo en las playas, exponerlo al cloro en las piscinas, obligarlos a tacones y bailar con ellos toda la noche! Al final de la noche si tomas 2 minutos de tu tiempo y frota un poco de esta poción mágica tus pies te lo agradecerán, y sin mencionar que se sentirán oh tan bien. Me encanta esta crema para pies de Sabon, primero probé una muestra que recibí en mi Birchbox un mes y estoy obcesionada por vida. Lo uso no sólo en mis pies pero también mis super secas manos y codos. Este sorprendente crema de pies es rico en antioxidantes, manteca de karité, aloe y para calmar y anti-funfal alcanfor y mentol. Prueba que les encantará por seguro!

Good Luck, Buenas Suerte!

August Birchbox!


August Birchbox was a "back to school" supply kit ... well at least thats what the booklet read. I personally liked every single one of them, but don't know how any of these go with the back to school theme, I was just hoping for more "take with you to school" products like lipgloss and or hand cream versus foot cream! Well anyways heres what I got...

Sabbon/ Foot Cream: This refreshing aloe-based lotion will counteract the hours you spend in high heels. Full Size $18.
  • I absolutely LOVED this foot cream it is very rich and smells yummy! like the directions read do apply at bedtime, I like to do this and wear socks and in the morning my feet are as soft as a babys bum! 
Talika/ Lipocils expert: This plant-derived lash serum spurs growth without any side effects. Full Size, $55

  • I will be honest as I have not tried this product yet.. I am currently avoiding trying anything new around my eyes since suffering from an allergic reaction a few weeks ago. I can't wear contacts until I see my eye doctor in September... same reason why no new video tutorials :( As soon as I try I will review!
Bonus: Schick Hydro Silk Razor!

Juicy Couture/ Viva La Juicy La Fleur: This modern scent is a feminine blend of wild berries, mandarin, and waterlily. Full Size, $70

Miss Jessies's Original/ Curly Meringue: Work this cream through damp hair for bouncy, smooth curls that stay frizz-free all day. Full Size, $22

  • Oh I really, REALLy like this! My hair a combination of straight, wavy and curly, I know very confusing! It all depends on my hairs mood that day but I used this in my freshly washed hair and let it air dry and my hair looked awesome! I will definetly be buying this for those days when I want to rock my natural curls without the use of heat.
Miss Jessie's Original/ Creme de la creme conditioner: This detangling formula works to soften and hydrate all types of hair. Full-size, $16
  • Well this claims to be the best darn conditions period! I'm not sure about that, it felt nice and my hair quickly became soft and easy to detangle but still too soon too little to say anything else! I will purchase the full bottle and give it a try! 
Good Luck< Xxx

July BirchBox


My July Bichbox was inspired by the 5 senses. They did a pretty good job capturing that idea and sent some really cool stuff. Some I already own, but thats never a bad thing!

Larabar/ UBER : The later addition to our snack drawer, these healthy and satisfying bars are packed with dried nuts and fruits.
  • I tried it and it was really delicious. On the down side I find it a bit pricey so I'm not sure if I will be ordering any of these. variety pack of 16, $27.95

Oscar De Lar Renta/ live in love: This elegant floral layers ethereal notes of hyacinth and orchids over a rich base of sandalwood and cedar.

  • Love it! It smells so clean and sexy! I collect perfumes and this will definitely be one of them.

boscia/Green Tea Blotting Linens: These shine-busting sheets absorb oil with all-natural green tea extracts to leave skin matte.

  • I already own this and will keep buying these as long as the keep making it. these are really the best blotting linens there is. plus you get the extra love of green tea which is a great anti-oxidant. Love, Love, Love!

Eyeko/ Skinny Liquid Eyeliner: Direct from London, these punchy color liners feature a pen-style applicator that's truly goofproof.

  • This is also a second for me, But definitely not disappointed at all. These eyeliners are awesome and are so precise, and easy to control. I just wish they would have sent me a color I dint already own! 

Eyeko/ Skinny Liquid Eyeliner Swatch In Olive

Jouer/ Luminizing Moisture Tint: This lightweight award-winner is our daily shortcut to dewy skin that feels natural and looks gorgeous.

  • I have not tried it! Sorry... As soon as I try it I will review. 

Birchbox Exclusive/ Earbuds: We designed these neon headphones just for you. pair them with your best playlist.

  • These are CUTE! I will definitely get a lot of use out of these.

Good Luck Xxx
