March Adore Box

                                                                       *Provided for review

          Hey guys! It's been pretty quiet around here. My 5 year wedding anniversary is Thursday and we are going to NH for 4 days!! We have been saving and planning for this for months. This months box happen to fit what I needed like a glove! If you saw my video, you know what came in the March box. Now you get to see what I thought! If you didn't see my unboxing video, you can check that out HERE. Either way, now you get my full thoughts. Ready???


          First, the Kiss eyelashes. The name on these is "Natural Plump". They resemble "natural eyelashes with tapered ends". My eyelashes are long, thick, and dark naturally. Along with my OCD however, I sometimes pull at my eyelashes leaving thin spots. These will be perfect for our anniversary dinner. Natural looking but with fullness. My eyelashes are actually a little longer than these so I don't even think you will be able to tell when they are on. I haven't used them yet because I want to use them Thursday but, I will add some pics of my completed makeup look before dinner :)

Next we will check out this Hyper Go After Sports Wipe. Sooooooo...... I didn't work out or exercise before I tried this. I did scrub my bathroom though, and that made me sweat like crazy! When I was done I grabbed for this baby. It is big, 1 foot by 1 foot! I went straight for my face. It was really quick because of the size. It was also pretty thick and soft. Very cloth like. After I wiped my face, I wiped my neck, back, and chest. The sweaty spots... First thing I noticed was the scent. It says unscented but it definitely has a smell that's pretty strong. It's not floral or perfumey, just strongly clean. I also noticed that it was moist but not dripping. Nothing more annoying than something made for convenience making a mess! This wipe was great! Left my skin soft and not dried out at all. I will be getting some of these for my husband. He is a gym goer and would get great use from these!! Good stuff :)

          This product was highly needed for my collection! I am talking about the Coastal Scents 10 Blush Palette. I only had 1 lonely blush before this and it was very warm/golden toned. While it is gorgeous, I needed to branch out. This palette has a wide array of pinky/peach colors that will compliment any skin tone. The product is a little powdery so careful of fallout. I was so shocked at the pigment in these beauties. Last night I was playing with my make up and I used a peach shimmer shade and I was so happy with it!! I cannot wait to try more colors. Sooooo pretty!!

Look at those peachy cheeks <3

          Lastly is the Measurable Difference Posh Matte Liquid Lipstick. I got the color Nudist in my box. Definitely nice for my skin tone. I first tried this on its own. I did not realize that matte liquid lippies was something I would have to get used to. I like lip balm so this was totally new for me. After about a half an hour I added a shimmery lip gloss lol. Last night I used it after letting my lips soak up some moisture. I lined my lips with my liner from last months box then blended this in the middle. I love the way it looked!! And I left it matte. Now, I am obsessed! I will be searching everywhere I can on vacation to #buyallthelippies!!!!

February Adore Box

                                                                      *Provided for review/press sample


          Hey peoples!! That's not rude is it?? I hope not! So, how are things where you are? I am busy busy busy!! Lots of stuff going on here as far as reviews and regular home stuff. First let me apologize for the delay. I like to actually try and use my products before reviewing them. My daughters and I had a blast with this box. Let's get started :)

       

          I hope you can see that choker!! It was the only pic I was able to get before it got taken!! I tried it on (and loved it), then my daughters both tried it on. Pretty sure my mom has it now lol. That should say enough though. It was a huge hit in this family <3


          Next up is the Crown Brush Fan Brush. If you watched my un-boxing video, the word I was looking for was SYNTHETIC. Ugh... Anyways, This fan brush is definitely on the thicker side. I actually used it to contour. It blended wonderfully. I don't have any fan brushes so I can't wait to put this to good use!

 
         
          The Kleancolor Peel-N-Seal Brow Tint Gel is awesome!! I was nervous because I had never used something like this before. Then I opened it and was terrified!! The gel is soooo dark. I figured what the heck and slapped it on.  Application was pretty easy.  It took about 2-3 minutes to fully dry. When it was dry, I started at the end of my brow and peeled toward the center. It took a few stray brows but I didnt even feel it. It didn't pull or get tight at all. What I was left with was a brow that was a shade darker than my original brows. You can leave it on longer for more dramatic results. I absolutely love it. Such a hassle free way to deepen your brow color!! Gonna need more of this.

         Peter Lamas Nourishing Buriti Oil Moisturizer. I was so excited to see that there was a moisturizer in this months box. My skin is normally dry, never mind in winter. Right after I filmed my un-boxing, I put some of this on. I will say it could have smelled better. But the relief I felt was immediate. Very nice on the skin.

          One of my favorite things this month was the Me Now True Lips Lip Liner Pencil. It is the hottest of hot pinks. I used to always be a lip balm girl. My new found love of make up has really made me want to try new things. THIS. WAS. PERFECT! I used this to line my lips and color them a little, then added a sheer translucent gloss over it. I really loved the affect <3 I have very thin french lips so if you know any good plumping glosses or whatever, let a girl know!!! This liner applied so smoothly.

          Now for my favorite product! Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour. This is a new to me brand so I was beyond excited to get this baby. I have only heard amazing things about this brand and I was more than blown away. This eye color flows on like silk! So pigmented and is has some serious stay power! I have only tried this on quickly but I can tell you already it will be getting lots of use from me. The gorgeous flecks it has is just.... Omg.

 

          Again, I am super happy with my Adore Beauty Box. These are all things that will get actual use. There is nothing worse than a box full of stuff you wont use! Luckily that is not the case with this box. It is super customizable and affordable. And if you want your first box for half off, use the code: HALFOFF    As always the links are below! Don't pass this box up!! You will not be dissappointed <3 Have a great week everyone :)

January Adore Box

                                                     *Press sample/Provided for review

           Hey guys!!! So, I don't know if you have noticed but I have been trying to branch out a little bit. I want to offer more than nail polish alone; although that will still be most of what I post. At 32, I have finally found a love for makeup and beauty products. I was so stoked when I saw that Adore Box was looking for brand ambassadors! It is the PERFECT opportunity to test out little bits of product to see what I really like and what works best! All while being able to review and share the products with you! Let's get into this months box :)

          How it works: With a monthly beauty & lifestyle box subscription, you will receive a box of 4-10 carefully hand selected items. These items may include: Makeup, Hair Care, Skin Care, Jewelry, Edibles (We are talking chocolate here...), Accessories, and/or Housewares. These items may be sample, full size or a combination of both.

We ship all boxes ship by the 25th!

ACCEPTING CUSTOMERS FROM THE UNITED STATES ONLY! 

 

          That was straight from their site. How awesome does that sound?!?! They are super customizable as well. There are 3 box options: 2 times monthly ($25.00-$264.00); monthly ($15.00-$144.00); or quarterly [(every 3 months) $39.99-$235.00]. Once you choose how often you want it, you choose your shirt size (Small-3XL). In case they send any type of clothing, it helps to have that set already instead of having to get info all the time. The last step is deciding how to pay. You can pay month to month, 3 month prepay, 6 month prepay, and 12 month prepay. This determines the final cost of the box.Sounds like a lot but the site has it set up so a child could do it. It's just that simple! Now that we got all covered, let's see what I got in my January Adore Box!

          I want to start with the eye shadow. It is from Mary-Kate and Ashley. No... not those ones lol. I thought the same thing but they are just a cosmetics company. Anyways, this is a metallic shadow stick. The color I got is a very icy looking light purple. It does not have a name or number but it is awesome!! I used this on my lids a few days ago and I had no creasing in my lid at all after 5 hours. And it stayed just as frosty looking. The formula was nice. It glided on so smoothly! Great product that will get tons of use from me.

 

Next, we have a hand sanitizer from Bath & Body Works. It work fast and smells so citrusy. My family has been buying these for a while. I feel like it leaves your hands more moisturized than the usual sanitizer. AND THE SMELL :) Love it!

 

           The featured item in this months box is a Stila Cosmetics full size lip liner. I really loved the color I got. It matches my style perfectly. Again though, this didn't have a name. Just a number. This was my first ever time trying anything from Stila and I can definitely say they now have a new customer. It is a pencil but it goes on easy and smooth. I am a coffee addict and the liner lasted for most of the day without any issues and no need to reapply. Good stuff right here.

           After trying all this stuff, along with my own makeup, I had to wash it all off. First I used the makeup remover wipe from Body Prescriptions. It removed mostly everything with ease. If you don't know already, I deal with a skin picking disorder so my make up is always FULL coverage. I was wearing a water proof eyeliner that proved a little tough to get but after the wipe took off the rest of my makeup I was happy. It even had a nice smell and wasn't soaking wet. Definitely a must have for your purse!

          Next step in my process was to wash my face and get any left over dirt or makeup. I used my sample of md formulations. It is a facial cleaner that cleanses and exfoliates. I have very sensitive skin on my face from always picking so this stung a tiny bit. Not enough to not use it though. It washed my face well and left a smooth clean feeling behind. It didnt leave me tight feeling but I still added a moisturizer. Overall, it was really good stuff!

          I totally saved the best for last! My hair is so straight, fine, and soft that I really dont use much at all for it. I mean, it practically brushes itself lol. But seriously, it's that low maintainance. Unfortunately, my 10 year old did not get so lucky. Her hair is awful! It is very thick, very course, and has a natural wave in it that looks like she always just unbraided her hair. Within 5 minutes of brushing her hair, she already has snarls. And what 10 year old wants to deal with that?? She hates it. We try everything on her hair but because she is 10 it is really limited by chemicals and whatnot. When I saw the Peter Coppola High Gloss Finishing Polish I was skeptical. I figured that because of the natural ingredients it would at least be safe to try. I immediately fell in love. It says it has a flexible hold but it is mostly an oil shine spray. I used less than 10 squirts throughout her hair and it changed everything. It made it softer and smoother instantly. It was easier to brush and not nearly as frizzy. It is now the holy grail product for my daughters hair!! I cannot recommend this product enough! First 2 pics are without the spray and the second 2 pics are with it.

            Make sure you check Adore Box out! The box I am subscribed to is the $15 a month box and I got my moneys worth 2 fold at least!! Not to mention the chance to try things I have never heard of before. I am super thankful to have come across they hair spray. The eye shadow is about tied for 1st for me :) Next month features Laura Mercier so please stay tuned to see what comes in the February box!! Have a wonderful Sunday!
