Boxycharm June 2014



This was my first Boxycharm box, and let me tell you! I'm OBSESSED! This box has such a high value, and I will use every product that I received! As if that wasn't enough, all five products were FULL SIZE! That's right! This box is $21 a month, and you can sign up here.

Keep reading to see what was in the June Boxycharm box:

Tarina Taratino Eye Dream HyperLight, full size cost $22

I'm not sure why the picture says a $15 value. This product costs $22. This is a great product for concealing and highlighting under your eyes. 


Tarina Taratino Eye Dream HyperLiner, full size cost $15

This is an eyeliner in the color "Cute Robot." It is a dark blue color, and is really pretty. It is definitely waterproof. It didn't budge off of my skin. It is so smooth as well! 


tarte cheek stain, $30 value

This is a really pretty, shimmery pink (which is fitting since it's called "Blushing Bride") cream blush. I can't wait to try this one on my cheeks! It smells amazing too! 
This box also came with a 20% off of your purchase on tarte.com


Revlon Bold Lacquer Mascara, $7.99 value

I love mascaras, and this is a new product, so I am excited to get to try it! I have not opened this yet, because I already have several opened mascaras that I need to use first. However, I am really excited to try this. It's in the color blackest black. 
This box also came with $1 off coupon for this mascara if you decide you like it, and want to buy another one. (It's actually for any Revlon mascara). 

Strange Beautiful Nail Laquer, $18 for two nail polishes

These nail polishes are in the colors "Something Blue" and "You Gold Girl." They are both really pretty shimmer colors. 



The Verdict:

This box had a value of $92.99, and I got it for $21! I can't get over how great this box is. I will definitely continue to subscribe to this box. If you want to get in on this awesome deal, be sure to go to Boxycharm and sign up today!

June 2014 Birchbox


This is my fourth month subscribing to Birchbox. I am still not sure how I feel about it. It is a subscription box that is $10 a month. To sign up, go here. This month I received five items. Keep reading to find out what I got!


Coastal Scents Revealed 2 Eye Shadow Palette Set, Full Size $34

If you buy the full size from Birchbox it comes with brushes, however you can get just the palette for $20 on the Coastal Scents website. I know this because I just ordered the Revealed and Revealed 2 palettes a couple weeks ago. If I did not already have the full size, I would have been really excited about this product. I may swap this, or I may keep it to use for travel. Either way, it was a product I am definitely interested in since I bought it myself before Birchbox sent it to me. 


Supergoop! Everday SPF 30 with Cellular Response Technology, Full Size $19

Why do subscription boxes keep sending me sunscreen?! I understand that sunscreen is important. But to me, sunscreen is just sunscreen. I don't care what kind of brand it is as long as it works. This was not a product I was super thrilled about. I will probably pass this along, or maybe keep it in my purse. 


Number 4 Super Comb Prep & Protect, Full Size $32

This is a leave-in conditioner that guards color and acts as an SPF for your hair. It is also supposed to detangle your hair. I don't have anything against this product, and I will probably use it all up. However, it does have a smell that I am not particularly fond of. Along with this, I am pretty attached to my Beauty Protector Protect and Detangle spray which does the same thing, is cheaper, and smells really good. Like I said though, I will definitely use this product. 


Joie Folle de Joie Eau de Parfum, Full Size $98

I already have a sample of this perfume, and I love it. I was kind of bummed that I received a repeat product from Birchbox. However, I am okay with it because I really do love this perfume. The only reason I am not buying a full one for myself is the price tag. I mean look at that thing! Almost $100 for one bottle of perfume. So, I am excited to have another sample I can use. 


Jasmine Seven Fresh Feet Wipes, 3 packs of 10 wipes is $9.95

These wipes will be great to through in my purse! I definitely suffer from stinky feet from time to time. While I am not a huge fan of the minty scent in these, I think it will definitely give my feet a fresh feeling. The sample size was great! I got a whole pack of ten wipes. I am definitely a fan of that!


The Verdict

Birchbox did a much better job this month than they have in the past. While I am still not blown away by anything, I am not upset by my box at all. What did you think of your Birchbox this month?

Trusting

Found this saved on my computer. I wrote it a few months ago. 


Lately I have been struggling with patience and trusting. What is God's plan for my life? When will He reveal more of it to me? Sometimes I feel totally lost in the big picture of life. Just floating around doing my own thing. 

I am a planner. I like to know what is going to happen next. Where I am going, with who, when, and why. So this has been a really hard thing for me to accept. That sometimes the plans I have for myself may not be what God has planned for me. I need to wait and see what He desires for me and my life. His plan is greater than mine 


Trust in Him at all times, o people, pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our refuge. Psalm 62:8

Is God trustworthy?…. Then TRUST HIM!
