OPI Hello Kitty Collection

As you know I am in LOVE with OPI nail polish. I have to admit I was not very excited to hear OPI was coming out with a Hello Kitty collection...But...there were a few shades that caught my eye.

There are 12 Shades in this collection and 1 Special Edition shade. As you can see I only bought 4 of them. 

1. My Pal Joey

2. 5 Apples Tall

  3. Let's Be Friends!

4. Spoken from the Heart

My Pal Joey
Totally my Favorite! 

Let's Be Friends!
Very pretty pale Pink

5 Apples Tall
This is a pretty Pinky Red

Spoken from the Heart
Miss for me, but a nice pink color

These are actually really nice colors. Very vibrant and smooth to apply. Each one does dry very shiny and smooth with only about 2 coats. The only one that was a little bit streaky with was Let's Be Friends!

From Left to Right:
Spoken from the Heart
Let's Be Friends!
5 Apples Tall
My Pal Joey

From my understanding the Special Edition shade is Say Hello Kitty. It's suppose to come with Swarovski crystal bows and glue. 

All in all, I like 3 out of the 4 shades I bought. My favorite is My Pal Joey! It's the perfect shade of blue that I have been looking for. 5 Apples Tall will be a perfect shade for Valentine's Day! 

Also

I have been wanting to give these two a try for quite some time now. They are just darn Expensive! 

OPI Drip Dry & RapiDry

I must say I am shocked, they actually work. My nails dried so much faster than if I just used regular top coat. I mean you can't go and open a can or start banging your nails on everything...but you can touch them after just a few minutes. 

Been A While

So I haven't done any reviews in quite a while....Here's why...

I had a Baby! 

Back in April I had gotten Super sick, with morning sickness. I mean SICK. I was losing so much weight because I was so sick. I didn't do anything for months and months. Then to top it all off I went into preterm labor. So I was put on bed rest. Still sick as a dog...I ended up having my little girl 3 weeks early. Unfortunately after about 15 hours of labor I ended up with a C-Section. Bummer...But she was healthy as could be! 

Leave it up to me, I almost died after having her...I didn't see my baby for 12 hours! I was a hot mess. I was very lucky and blessed my husband was there for me and her. He was able to go spend time with our newborn baby (of course he didn't want to leave me, but I made him). 

A few blood transfusions later (told you I almost died) I ended up with an infection from my C-section. Ugh...So I've been in and out of the doctors office every week since October. 

But

 I am finally starting to feel back to my old self. 

So With that being said, I'm ready to get back into doing reviews. I have cancelled all of my subscription boxes, but I do plan to restart some of them. Maybe even a few new ones. 

Right now I'm working on doing some reviews on books I've recently read, a few different cosmetic items, a few different baby items, the Instyler Max, ect...

I hope you guys will Forgive me for not being around in Forever! 

If you have Anything you would like me to review, please send me a message!

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara

So I received this mascara in I believe my Sample Society box.
I have been hearing a lot about this mascara, Everywhere! So why not do a review myself.

I must say I am rather impressed with it. 

The wand is not something I am usually a fan of. But I kind of liked it this time. The formula is really nice, goes on smooth and does not flake! It also lasted all day! 

Now this mascara is suppose to give you lift up your lashes and give them a lasting curl. So not 100% true. It does give you a bit of a curl, but not something to write home about. 

Now I have heard this but have not tried it myself, You are suppose to apply this mascara and then do another coat of a different kind. Yeah why on earth am I going to use 2 different mascaras? Like I said, I have heard other people say this. 

A ton of reviews I am seeing, people are not even close to applying this correctly. When you apply mascara you want to coat your lashes. So when you are applying, you want to wiggle your wand into your lashes.... Wiggle, such a technical term... This will help lift them, and give you more of an even coat. 

All in all this is a nice mascara...I really do enjoy the formula...Does it give me amazing lashes, well No...Is it worth the money...Not really...But I do like it...

What do you think? Have you had a chance to try this mascara? Any tips on how to give nice, curled lashes? 

BirchBox March

This post is going to be a quick one. Sorry! I haven't had a chance to try anything out of this box. Bummer I know. I swear when I receive my next box, I will do a much better review!

So this month I have received 5 items:

1. It's a 10® Miracle Leave-In Product

I have no clue what this is! Ok I had to look...It's a leave in conditioner. I probably will not be using this. My hair tends to get oily all on its own, let alone add something like this to it!

2. Elite Therapeutics Rosemary Eucalyptus Body Crème

I did give this a try while I was working on this post, OMG it stinks!! But it did leave my hands nice and soft. But the smell seriously! I can not use this!

3. BioRepublic Skincare Green Tea Detox Mask Set

Ok I love masks, I can't wait to give these a try! 

4. Paula's Choice Resist Moisture Renewal Oil Booster

So this is suppose to be for super dry skin. Can't wait to try this! 

5. Jelly Pong Pong GLOW GETTER Polish 

I Love getting nail polish! I do not care for the color at all, but I will have to see how it looks painted on. 

Ipsy March

Hello Everyone! I'm so sorry I have not done a blog post in a while! I have actually been really sick and am just now able to get back online. Anyway, let me get this review going!

So this past months Ipsy bag was Floral Fantasy. The bag is ok, I don't know kind of reminds me of something my grandmother would like. 

Inside I received 5 samples: 

1. NYX Cosmetics Butter Lipstick

I was so excited to receive this! I have been wanting to try one of NYX lipsticks for a while now. Unfortunately the color is not even close to being something I would wear. Bummer! But I did wear it for a while, and it's a nice lipstick. Seems to stay put for a while and does stain your lips! 

2. Dr. Brandt Skincare, Pores no more anti aging mattifying lotion

Ok this stuff pretty much smells like Vicks. I can feel it on my skin, so it's not something I care to use! 

3. Pur Lisse Beauty, Soy milk cleanser and Makeup remover

Humm soy milk....So this is ok..It does remove some of my makeup, but it's not something I need to run out and buy!

4. VINTAGE by Jessica Liebeskind, Illuminating Face Highlighter 

Nope, Not even close to being interested in this!

5. Boo-Boo Cover-Up

The name is just funny..But of course the shade is off. So I can't give my real opinion! Darn Ipsy...

So what did you think of your Ipsy bag? I thought mine was ok. I really wish the Butter Lipstick was a better shade for me, and the Makeup remover was nice. 

Flicker Box

So one of my readers requested me to do a review on Flicker Box. This is a monthly candle subscription box. It cost $25 for the 1st month, then $34 a month after. My first question why $25 then up to $34?? This box also did take me quite a while to get! The February box was sold out. It also looks like the March box is sold out already too!

Anyway...Inside I found 4 different candles. All candles are handmade, and made in the USA. So that is a plus. This is going to be a rather short review.

I tried to burn the larger tin candles. Yeah the smell started making me sick. They smell of soap and citronella. Sorry not my thing! They do seem to be burning fast, but I only had them lit for about 10 minutes, before I couldn't take the smell anymore.

You do get a pack of 4 tea light candles, and 2 votive candles. Oh and you get a package of matches. I seriously liked the matches more than I liked the candles.


So sorry for the short review on Flicker Box. I just all around did not enjoy this box! I do not believe it is worth the $34 a month. If you are into candles for scent, do not order this subscription. If you are more into soy, handmade, with a strong soap scent....Then this is the box for you....

Conscious Box February 2015

Hello Everyone! So one of my wonderful readers asked me to do a review on Conscious Box. I contacted the company and they were kind enough to let me sample one of the boxes for half price.

Conscious Box is pretty much a Health box. The boxes comes with Natural, Non GMO Products. They offer 2 different types of subscriptions to choose from. The first one is the Plus option (19.95 a month). This comes with more premium and full size products.
The second option is hand selected food, bath, beauty, and home products ($9.95 a month). It's the exact same thing minus, more premium and full size products. You also have the option to choose Classic, Vegan, and Gluten Free.

This was probably the best packed box I have ever received.

Let me get into what I received in my box. 

1. Amazing Grass: Amazing Meals (Full size $70 for 30 Servings)
So this is a dietary supplement. My flavor is Cafe Mocha. The package contains 10g of protien, and 6g of Fiber. It's Raw, Gluten Free, Vegan, No sugar added, and Kosher. 100% Plant basted ingredients.
So I have no clue what this is!

2. Greenshield Organic Laundry Detergent (Full size 16.79 for 100oz)
So pretty much this is an organic laundry detergent. Your sample is enough for 1 load of clothes.

3. Dr. Jacobs Naturals
Ok these are Castile Soap. I received 3 different scents. Eucalyptus, peppermint, and almond honey. These are good for daily use such as a body wash, shampoo, facial cleanser, shaving lather, and a mild laundry detergent. Each scent is super strong!

4. Kind Bar (Full size $36 for a case of 24)
So this bar packs 10g of protein and taste like some weird sweet bbq sauce.

5. Mayesa: Cacao Drink, Mint Flavor (Full size $29 for a case of 12)
This drink is Soy, Dairy, and Gluten Free...To be honest glue taste better than this stuff! This was horrific! Left this just disgusting taste in my mouth. I can't even drink anymore to give you more examples of what this taste like! For the love of your taste buds do not buy this!

6. Smarty Pants Kids Complete & Adult Complete plus Fiber (Full size for Kids 29.95 for bottle of 120, Adults 47.95 for bottle of 120)
These were not so bad, flavor wise. I just can not see myself spending 47.95 for vitamins.

7. Wild Garden: Hummus Snack Pack (Full size 2.39 each)
These are cute. In the box you get a little package of veggie chips and a little package of hummus dip. You can easily tear off the corner of the hummus, so you can spread it on your chips. It doesn't taste like a traditional hummus. To me it taste more like it has taco spices added. Not bad...The Veggie chips...You will die before you get the package open...They are not bad either. I actually really like them.

8. Your Tea: Skin Magic (Full size $35 for 60 bags)
Be Careful opening the package! I ripper the top right off of my tea bag!
This tea is made with aloe vera, licorice root, lotus seed heart, and jasmine to heal and beautify irritated or acne prone skin. Yeah ok...I'm honestly not even going to give this a try. This is just my personal opinion. I'm not into tea companies calming they will do different things for your body. Like I said though, that's my opinion.

9.Youth Infusion:
This is a...I have no idea...Some type of vitamin you can add to your water. Claims to help with energy, headache, and curb your appetite to maintain weight loss, oh and lowers blood pressure. Again I'm good. Not going to be giving this one a try either.

So Over All...I'm good. I will Not be ordering this as a subscription box. The only thing I like in this box was the Veggie chips & Hummus. Everything else was a Huge miss!
Even though I was give a discount, I am NOT and NEVER Will be paid to give a Good Review. My Reviews are MY own Opinion. Discounts and Free products will never cause me to give a positive review. That crap is Not my style!
