My Birchbox for August 2012

The August Birchbox was focused on beauty supply for heading back to school.  That will hopefully help you all "semester" long.

Call us nerdy, but we still get nostalgic about the start of a new school year, with its promise of a fresh start…and of course the excuse to stock up on fresh supplies. That’s why we’re so excited to bring you this month’s Beauty School Birchbox, with samples and content that will help prepare you for the coming season. - Mollie (editor at Birchbox)

Before I go on about this box I would like to discuss a matter upon Birchbox.  Remember that it's a hit or miss situation where they portray the choices of goodies they make on your profile.  If you received a box of items that you do not want, simply adjust your profile picks.

There are questions that they will ask you, and you simply have to choose which one complies with your liking.  Remember to press CTRL if it is more than one (if allowed to do so).  Ever since I got my first box I did not like and adjusted my profile choices, I ended up receiving boxes that I was pleased with.  But remember there will be times where you will receive an item or two that you're not fond of.  Remember its a chance, and they are just trying to open your eyes up to new ideas.  Once you start receiving a box that you really enjoy keep your profile as is.  May help for those having issues with the box.

Thursday's Look: Date Night

Thanks to my friend Emily (you could visit her blog here) for helping me decide which eyeshadow I was going to pick for my look.  I wanted something that had matched my shirt.  I wasn't sure which way I was going to do it.  I had three looks in my head, but we both agreed the teal and orange would look nice.

The top that I am wearing was my birthday gift from my mom.  I haven't worn it at all, to my surprise I had actually forgotten about it.  It was hiding inside my closet behind some jackets.

Review: KKCenterHk - N.Nail: Stamping plate SPPMB76, Stamp and Scrape kit, Black Bow Decoration,

Today I am introducing you to several items I had received from KKcenterHK.  They carry various items from wigs to makeup; nail decals to eyelashes.  And not to mention they also carry fashion items: scarves, bracelet, belts, etc.

I received three items and was excited upon getting them.

• N.NAIL Stamping Image Stamp Template Plate SPPMB76
• N.NAIL 5 Pieces Black Bow Design Nail Art Decorations
• N.NAIL Scraper And Stamp Set [JR1055]

Nail Polish: Wet 'n' Wild - Bite the Bullet

I was looking at my pictures and I realized I have some shots of things that I have never posted yet.  I saw the picture and was instantly missing my long nails.  They are currently growing out but I have been cutting it since some of them had been damaged badly.  I trimmed it down a bit more just to get rid of the damaged tips.

I don't even remember when I bought this polish, but I know it was awhile ago haha.
Wet n Wild's Megalast Bite the Bullet, was one of those shades that I wasn't sure if I wanted it or not.

Review: Aveeno Ultra-Calming Makeup Remover Wipes

Thanks to Klout I was able to try out Aveeno Active Naturals Ultra-Calming Makeup Removing Wipes.  Aveeno is a great product to use if you have sensitive skin.  I have been using their products ever since my son was born, due to his eczema prone skin. Not to mention hubs and I have slightly sensitive skin.  So some of the Aveeno products could be found around the house.

Discovering that they have developed a makeup remover wipe, I was intrigued by it and wanted to try it.  Once again thanks to Klout for allowing it to happen.

Uh-Oh! FiS on Sinful Colors and New York Colors

So before everyone starts doing a bitchy fit over the product, please understand we are all entitled in our own opinions.  Despite the controversy, IN WHICH Revlon has apologized for and is currently working with the bloggers it had occurred to, I still like the nail polish.  Though it upsets me they did so, I am glad they are resolving the issue.
Sinful Colors is just a nicely priced product that goes for $1.99.  So when it's on sale for just $0.99, I have to grab some!  With that said...
I also included  the two New York Color nail polishes I picked up when Rite-Aid was having the sale of 40% off all New York Color products.

Every thing is listed left to right:
New York Color Expert Last Nail Polish:

• Green Means Go
• Flash of Pink

Sinful Colors:

• Happy Ending
• Vacation Time
• Lavender
• Ocean Side
• Clementine
• Slate
• Rain Storm
• Citrine
• Timbleberry

So there is my little haul of polishes over the weekend.  I had to buy Happy Ending again since that was the bottle that had broke awhile back.

Did you pick up any polishes during Walgreens' 99cents Sinful Colors sale?  What is your favorite color from them?

Into the Influenster Summer VoxBox Abyss!

I mentioned this box awhile ago, so I decided to take a closer look into the wonderful Summer VoxBox from the company Influenster.  For details of what Influenster is you could check my previous post HERE.
After testing out the goodies I got for review, I realized that the VoxBox was still a great thing to get especially since it was free.

When my husband handed me the package when we were in the car, I quickly opened it, and was surprised by everything that was inside.  Above is a picture of when I opened it during my car ride.
