November Topbox 2016

Hey guys hope you have been well, my first semester in school is coming to a close, and I now have more time on my hands. I have been subscribed to Topbox for a few months now, and so far I have been loving it. It is a Canadian subscription service that is $10 a month, that includes shipping. It is great because services like Birchbox have left Canada because of our dollar value and shipping prices. I always love to support Canadian brand, and so far I have not been disappointed. Some boxes have been better than others, but I always find that to be the case with makeup subscription services. This is what was in my box for the month of November, I hope this is helpful! 

Bliss Body Butter: I enjoyed this body butter, it is on more of the thick side, which provides a lot of moisture. The sage and lemon scent it enjoyable but it is not my favourite. 

Elizabeth Arden Eight-Hour Cream: I am not sure why this is called cream, because it seems more like a tacky gel to me. The smell for me is a little off putting, but the results are good. It feels really good on the lips and cuticles. 

Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara: I have not tried this mascara yet, I have so many mascaras I am working through right now, but if it is any good I will let you know.

China Glaze Nail Polish: The colour of this polish is really pretty. It goes really nicely over other polishes, or you can layer it up to wear on its own. 

Over all I was very pleased with lasts month's Topbox, I do recommend this subscription it is only $10 every month. It is a lot of fun to be able to try a few beauty products every month, and all my dealings with the company have been great! 

Leave any questions you have in the comment section down below. 

Hope your week is going well, and thanks for reading!

Sephora VIB Rouge Summer Fling Event

This post is from awhile ago but I thought it would be fun to read, especially if anyone was recently joined VIB Rouge or was curious about the program, enjoy!

Sephora sent out an email saying they were having a summer event in my area for VIB Rouge members in my area. I was very excited to receive this email because I live in a smaller city, with a relatively small Sephora compared to some. The event started at 7:00 and ended at 9:00pm, when the mall closes. They closed out the whole store for this event which was very fun and. There were treats and drinks for people to enjoy. You can tell there was time and thought put into this event. It was nice to see that they cared about their customers. As a VIB Rouge being invited to this event I was able to bring one guest, so I brought my mom. What was also awesome about this event was when you spent $35 you received a very nice sample bag. I have to say this event was a lot of fun and I hope my Sephora continues to do them in the future.

This was the purchase I made at the event. It is the Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit-Sun Dipped, as you can see this is a stunning highlighting palette. I love the amazing glow it gives to my skin.

That Glow!!!

This was the gift that I received since I spent $35+, I have to say that this is a really nice bag on samples. There are no foil packets and they are very high quality products.

Influenster Maybelline Voxbox

Hi guys I recieved some free products to try from Influenster. I received the Maybelline Voxbox, I was very excited to receive these products to try for myself. You can sign up here at https://www.influenster.com

This is the look I created with the products I was sent. 

I have to say I enjoyed all these products. The primer was great because of the blurring effect but also the fact that it illuminates. The lip colour is a nice shade, but I am not a fan of the formula because it does not dry down fully matte. The brow gel is a strong win for me it is a great texture. The mascara is good but I always usually prefer a waterproof formula. The eyeshadow palette was a pleasant surprise the shimmer shades have good pigment, but some of the mattes do as well. The lighter shades are not as pigmented but are still really nice. 

This was a great Voxbox to get in the mail and be able to try more affordable drugstore products that I may not have picked up myself. 

I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

Thanks for reading talk to you soon!
