Colourpop Order ♥


My most recent Colourpop order ♥
I've mentioned many times how much I LOVE the Lippie sticks from Colourpop (especially the matte).  They've been releasing collections here and there but I've been holding off.
I was especially eyeing the Fall collection called 'Back to Cool' which features fall colors--browns, purples, etc.  Reminds me of the 90's.
Well lucky me, they went on Sale a couple weeks ago for 20% off!!
So I snagged one.  Instead of $30, I got it for $24.



Here's the collection.  It comes with 6 colors and I also added a separate Lippie stix and pencil in the shade 'Grunge', a really dark brown.
The Back to Cool collection includes:
Choker - Creme finish
Mosh Pit - Matte finish
TGIF - Matte finish
Baewatch - Matte finish
Out of Synce - Matte finish
Too Sexy - Matte finish
PLUS
Grunge - Matte finish
Grunge pencil - Matte finish



It's gorgeous!!! I'm so excited to try these on♥

Birchbox Order ::Birchbox X GlamLifeGuru Box + Benefit Roller Lash:: ♥


So I had a hard time deciding between the 'regular' monthly Birchbox and the Curated box for November.  So I decided to get both!  In order to get both I had to purchase the Curated box separately but subscribers can get it for only $10 AND use their points for it.
I got an amazing deal!


This is the Curated box this month--Birchbox x GlamLifeGuru Box.
The contents were too amazing to pass up so I used my saved up points for this.



Living Proof dry shampoo
AMAZING stuff--I love dry shampoo and it smells amazing.
My Sample Value $10.22

Avene hydrating serum
I recently tried the Avene facial cleanser and LOVE it.
I'm super excited to try this one out.
My Sample Value $3.57

Shiseido Ultimune Eye concentrate
Shiseido to me is a super high end brand and I will try anything by Shiseido.
My Sample Value $21.67 (wow)

Jouer lip enhancer
This is interesting.  I actually have pretty full lips already but I wonder what this will do?
Does it really make your lips fuller??
My Sample Value $7.27

LOC One & Done shadow stick - day trip
This is Birchbox's own brand that has been newly released.
Their first collection was in collaboration with the Glam Life Guru herself, Tati.
I was surprised with the quality of the stick.
Super creamy and pigmented.
My Sample Value $10.00 (Full size!)



Oooo very nice!!


I also bought a full size Benefit Roller Lash mascara.
I sampled this mascara last month and holy cow it really curls my lashes and adds so much length and volume!  I fell in love with it immediately that I knew I wanted a full size.
The reason I bought it this time around was because they are (still) offering a Free Lash Curler by Eyeko with any mascara purchase.

Benefit Roller Lash $24.00
Eyeko Lash Curler $18.00 value


Mystery Sample Pack
Of course I had to add the mystery sample pack.
But for some reason I added the Birchbox MAN sample pack instead of WOMAN.
But look what I got!  These are kind of amazing...
I'll be adding this to my husband's stocking stuffer ♥

das boom everywhere lotion - Detroit
A men's body lotion?
My Sample Value $3.00

Mason Stones - six whiskey stones
This is awesome.  I think my husband is gonna love this one.
My Sample Value $17.00 (wow!)

So in total this would all come to $114.73 but I only paid $16.92.
This is why I love Birchbox, their points system and their various coupon codes.
Very happy!♥

SBP October Monthly Box ::Fall:: ♥


After my first Monthly Box with SBP I couldn't wait to get my next box.
I've been stalking the mailman for days and it arrived today!


Like last month, she included a whole themed sticker kit PLUS other planner accessories.
These are the stickers included for this month's box, themed 'Fall'.
I love it!! Especially the countdown stickers and the cute acorns with the teal trees.
The 'Fall Bucket List' is such a great idea too!
Also wanted to mention that SBP stickers are great quality--the colors are so bright.  She must have a really nice printer because it's one of the best stickers out there.


Other goodies included:
Fall/Thanksgiving insert
Pumpkin spice latte paper clip
Fall paper clip (I got a blue apple♥)
Tassel
3 Washi samples with a stamped tag


Squee so cute!!


Here is the total kit.
I absolutely love it! Just like last month, she has outdone herself♥
I really hope she continues releasing a box and hello, next kit would probably be Christmas/Holiday themed. OMG can't wait!!

I wasn't expecting such fast delivery.
I love the tissue this month--it's very chic♥


A first look.

LOVED this month's kit.  Never disappointed in this subscription.
