Ipsy October 2014 Review

Am I the only one who has had Bow Wow Wow stuck in their head all week? I swear, every time I look at this bag…

This month’s theme is Beauty Candy (for Halloween, duh), and even the little bag is a shiny teal with puffy squares resembling candy. Continue Reading

Wantable September 2014 Review

After tweaking my Wantable profile a bit last month, I couldn’t wait to get my September box. I am over summer and so ready to start wearing bold fall colors. Each month, Wantable subscribers will receive 4-5 full-size premium makeup products for $36.00. It’s a pretty good deal if you end up with things that you actually want or need. This month, however, was a complete bomb. Continue Reading

Birchbox September 2014 Review

Ipsy thought this would be an appropriate month to make the bag beauty school-themed, since it’s that time of the year again. Continue Reading

Glossybox July 2014 Review

Well, it finally happened. Glossybox and I have officially broken up. I will be receiving one more box after this, and then I’m done. I subscribed to Glossybox because I was under the impression that I would be getting makeup products tailored to my tastes, but over the past six months, my boxes have mostly been one disappointment after another.
