Starlooks Starbox- March 2014

This months Starbox was curated by an 18 year old girl named Ashley Hackman. I guess Starlooks found her on YouTube. She's cute, and funny and I was totally excited to get this months box...until I got this months box.  So disappointed. Luckily I get a birthday box and a referral box from them this month to make up for the fact that I will use nothing in the Ashley Hackman box. Here are the contents:


A lip liner in Cherry Cedar, a lipstick in Boss and an eye liner pot in Black Hole. 
 Why am I so disappointed? Here is why...first, anyone who subscribes to beauty sub boxes is drowning in black eye liners. In the six months since I started getting them, I must have gotten 5 or 6. Nuff said.
Second...Ashley Hackman wanted to design a box that was universal... A box everyone can use.  Yes.. Black eye liner is universal. But red lips? I don't know on what planet red lipstick is universal.  Yes, it's classic but it takes the right person to pull off bright red lips. And that person ain't me. Not to mention, the lip liner and the lip stick aren't even the same tone. The lip liner is more purply and the the lipstick is reddish orange. They look fine together but they both look ridiculous on me. I showed my husband and he said I look clown like. Oh well... Hopefully the bday box and the referral box will make up for it.

Ipsy March 2014: Destination Beauty

My Ipsy glam bag came today! Both Birchbox and Ipsy on the same day! Happy birthday to me! Well..tomorrow is really my bday. Loved my bag as always!
1. Be A Bombshell eye shadow palette in Bora Bora (full sized). Not sure if I will ever use these colors, but it's worth a try! Maybe when I get a tan this summer.
2. Nicōle by O.P.I. in the color "On What Grounds" from their Roughles collection (full sized!) It's so fun!
3. A mini sized Bare Minerals lipstick in the color "Get Ready".


4. Pixi Flawless Beauty Primer (12 mL). Love this primer...has a hint of sparkles for a glowing complexion.

5. The cute bag!

Birchbox March 2014: Spring Forward


Super stoked with my Birchbox this month! The sample sizes are huge! Maybe they are finally listening to their subscribers!
This month I got the following:
The Birchbox "find" was a Jergens BB Body cream. I Like it a lot. It's very smooth.  I got a 1 oz travel sized sample :)

The next sample is a deluxe, 1.6 oz shampoo by Keims hair care.  It is a Macadamia and Peppermint shampoo.
Next is a Grand Central Beauty S.M.A.R.T. Skin perfecting serum and primer (0.27 fl oz). I like that they combined both these essential products.  
Next is a serum with sunscreen in it (SPF 30) by Supergoop! (10 mL).  Another great idea!
And finally, I got a full sized Inka eyeliner in Green Lagoon. It's pretty...a light green with a hint of shimmer.  I am so thankful for an eye liner that isn't black.  I will never run out of black eye liners thanks to these sub boxes!
