Ipsy Unboxing- January 2015

Hi! So today I have my first unboxing of the new year. Ipsy is a monthly beauty box subscription that costs $10 per month. Each month you receive 4-5 full size or deluxe sized products and a makeup bag. This is my favorite beauty box subscription service because you get some brands you recognize and some you don't know. 

The makeup bag is cute this month, with a pink zipper and is white on one side and royal blue on the other side. 

Mojito Lip Balm- This is a clear lipgloss/ chapstick. It is a little sticky (not to bad though), but I still love this item. You can layer a chapstick, lipstick, and then add this for a little shine without messing up the color. 
Price- $12

PacificaNatural Mineral Coconut Eye Shadow- This is a pretty big single eyeshadow. You cannot buy single eyeshadows, but you can buy them in a palette. The shade is a pearly, sparkly, pigmented light brown/ skin color. This could be an everyday color or built up for a night out color.
Price- Could not find (eyeshadows not sold personally)

Hikari CosmeticsMechanical Eye Liner- So here is another eyeliner (I am not a huge eyeliner fan) and I feel like every other month I receive a eyeliner from Ipsy. It is a twist up eyeliner and is a [faint] sparkly silver shade. I personally do not know how often I will wear this eyeliner.  
Price- $13

La Fresh Eco-BeautyBe Good. Good Day. Day Moisturizer- This is a daily face moisturizer. It is supposed to hydrate your skin and make it look fresher and happier. For the size of the packet, there is not a lot of product. I personally do not like receiving skincare items in Ipsy, because I already have a set routine. 
Price- $40

Velvet 59 Velvet Rose Lipgloss- This is a lipgloss with a brush applicator. It is quite sticky, which is why I tend to not wear lipglosses. This is a mauvey shade with a slight pinky undertone and is pretty sheer, so it is good for everyday.
Price- $19

Here is a swatch of the lipgloss, eyeliner, and eyeshadow.

Overall price of bag- $84 (minus the eyeshadow) and I only paid $10!

Thanks for reading! Did you get an Ipsy bag?

Walmart Winter Beauty Box Unboxing-2014

Hi! So today I have an unboxing/ review on the Walmart Beauty Box. This box is $5 and they come out with a new one each season. Apparently the samples are free and all you have to pay for is the shipping. This is a nice box because it is cheap and all the products are cheap and sold at Walmart. I got 4 real samples and 3 foil packet samples. Let me know if you got this box in the comments down below. 

  Covergirl Lip Gloss- This is a lip gloss that is a little sticky and is pretty sheer (but very buildable). The shade is 
640 colorlicious juicy fruit and is a berry everyday kind of color.  






Burt's Bee Face Wipes- These are some face wipes (which I love getting). These little samples are great for traveling or just trying out new face wipes. There are 10 wipes and they are supposed to remove makeup and oil without actually washing your face (aka for the lazy girls). 










  Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash- This is a body wash and is supposed to moisturize your skin. It has a light fruity, sweet scent, which I think is good. So I am excited to try this and see if it does moisturize my skin. 












Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Face Lotion- This is a sheer daily face moisturizer and is supposed to feel like a powder once dry. I am excited to try this because my face has been getting really dry lately, I just wish it had SPF in it. 

L'oreal Color Vibrancy Shampoo, Conditioner, and Anti-Oxidant- So this a foil packet (booo) of a shampoo, conditioner, and anti-oxidant for color treated hair. I already have this sample from something else and I don't have color treated hair. 




John Frieda Volume Shampoo and Conditioner- This is another foil packet. It is just a shampoo and conditioner that are supposed to give your hair more volume. 









Flower Fragrance Samples- I don't really like this. It is a sample of 3 perfumes, but the perfumes are just on the paper for you to smell.






So that is everything I got in my Walmart Beauty Box. I enjoy this box because you get quite a few products for only $5! I personally would not pay over $5 for this box because like half of the samples are foil packets and the samples are not the most exciting. overall, I would recommend this cheap box to one of my friends.
