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!♥

Sephora Order...♥

This is my first online Sephora order ♥

Of course I've shopped the store several times but not so much lately.

I also only recently became a 'beauty insider' so I'm still new to all of this.

I signed up last year around my birthday and I remember receiving a free birthday gift.

It was a "They're real! Mascara" and "Watt's Up! Highlighter" by Benefit Cosmetics.

Both super awesome.

So here's my order.

I still have money leftover on my gift card from Christmas so I purchased the Urban Decay NAKED3 palette ♥ All the rest were free samples that you can add to your order if you qualify.

URBAN DECAY NAKED3

The colors are so pretty~!!

This is an All Exclusive set featuring rose-hued neutral colors which I love.

The palette comes in a sturdy case with a mirror and brush!

I found the brush to be a little rough on my eyelids compared to my Crown Brush.

This is the only item I paid for: $54.00

This qualified for free 3-day shipping and I was able to add a few free samples.

The palette also came with an eyelid primer sampler.

I almost missed this--it was included in the palette box.

One thing I learned from beauty videos and tutorials is just how much a primer helps your eyeshadow stay and look better.  I haven't had any problems with creases anymore.

I'm definitely trying these out!

FREE SAMPLES

CLINIQUE Take the Day Off Makeup Remover for Lids, Lashes & Lips

I redeemed this item with my 100 Sephora points, which I didn't even know I had.

I guess from when I signed up to be a member.

I can't wait to try this one out tonight.  Eye make-up is always difficult to get completely off.

I'm hoping this does the trick

Sample size value $6.67

Shiseido Ibuki Gentle Cleanser

I love Shiseido products.  Boy are they pricey! But they are quality products.

This is a gentle face cleanser and in a generous deluxe size too.

It smells very nice.

Sample size value $4.45

DAISY by MARC JACOBS

Mmmm this smells very nice♥

STELLA by STELLA McCARTNEY

Ooo I like this one too! Smells girly ♥

ROMANCE by RALPH LAUREN

This is an old favorite of mine.

I had a bottle of this back in the day.

Still love it!

 So I'm happy I received my palette and these add-ons are all SO GOOD!
