Victorian Disco Sub Box Review January 2014!!

Hey guys! So I have a new subscription to review for you guys and this one is Victorian Disco's sub!

Victorian Disco Cosmetic's sub is $13 a month and it is an indie sub. Kinda like Ophelia's Apothecary, but more focused on makeup instead of skin products. The sub includes a full size color of the month, a full size that is exclusive to the box, extra samples and extras. I adore Victorian Disco's eyeshadows, so I was super excited to hear about her sub.

She puts her stuff in little black mesh bags.

The thank you card.

The January color of the month is Resolutions I Won't Keep. This goes for $5.75. I don't wear pink eyeshadow too often, but I found a couple tutorials on YouTube and I definitely think that this can look good in certain ways! I'll probably try something out with this for Valentine's Day!

The full size for January subscribers is in the shade Unacceptable! This goes for $5.50. Again I don't really use yellow eyeshadow, but I found some nice looks online as well and I'm excited to try it out. Her shadows are really pretty, pigmented, and sparkly! I use them over some type of base (such as NYX's Big Eye Pencil in Milk) and they really pop!

The next item is a sample of a Lipgloss in Daedra. This isn't available yet? But I really like it! It wasn't sticky and it is a really nice pink shade! I think this was probably the most exciting thing in the sub for me because I was expecting all eyeshadow, so it was cool to get something else! (:

Then I got two sample baggies. One is an eyeshadow in Oh My Glob ($1). The other is a blush in Dragon Flame (also not available yet.). I love the eyeshadow color! From the online swatch is looks like a super pretty purpley grey color (actually now that I think about it maybe more Orchid like Pantone's color of the year?). Either way it's a great spring shade! I love the blush as well! It's a pretty orangey color, but when blended out it looked really nice on my skin!

All totaled my box is worth $12.25 (plus the lipgloss and the blush sample and shipping was free). Anyway this was a great deal and I am so happy I subbed! I got things in colors I'd never buy for myself and I am really excited tha this was more then just eyeshadow! I am so excited for the February box (which is sold out) because she said that she went a little crazy with it!

Glossybox Review January 2014!!

Hey guys! So I finally got in my January Glossybox Saturday, and I'm excited to show you guys what I got!

Glossybox is $21 a month and they send out deluxe and full size hair, makeup, skin, and nail products from more high end brands. I think they send out a good selection of foreign brands as well as smaller brands too.

Even though this month the boxes were super late, they usually come much earlier. I usually get mine the 3rd week of the month.

I love their boxes. They are so sturdy and are great to store things in!

The info card.

The first item was actually the first spoiler they released and it  is the Beauty Blender Pure ($19.95) and a sample of the Beauty Blender Solid Cleanser ($3.98). I was so excited for this item! I've always wanted to try a real beauty blender (I have a couple of the knock offs)! I haven't used this yet, but I will probably end up using it this weekend, when I have time to figure out the correct way to do so. I also like that they included a sample of the cleanser.

The next item is Vichy Aqualia Thermal Rich Cream. This is .5 oz and goes for $9.17. I've been using this since Saturday and so far I can say I'm not super impressed (especially since a lot of people were saying how amazing it was after one use). But I think that my Aveeno moisturizer does a much better job moisturizing.

Then there is a BellaPierre Cosmetics Mineral Blush in Desert Rose. This is .17 oz and goes for $12.78. I've been obsessed with blush lately, so I was excited to get this! This is a pretty tannish pink shimmery color, that I think will look a lot better on me when I have a tan, so I'm going to put this away until spring/summer. (Which is fine since I have about a billion other blushes to use anyway.)

The next item is a Balance Me Super Toning Body Wash. This is 1.7 oz and goes for $6. I received a lipgloss from this brand a few months ago, and I didn't really like it, so I wasn't super thrilled to use this. However it's body wash, so it will get used as long as it isn't super drying. I do think the smell is kinda strange, it smells like ginger ale poured over some flowers or something.

The last item is a Toni & Guy Casual Sea Salt Texturizing Spray. This is 2.5 oz and goes for $4.99. I was so excited to know Toni & Guy was going to be in this box! I've been wanting to try their products. I love sea salt spray because I have naturally wavy hair and I think it just gives my hair that extra boost. The smell kinda gave me a headache though (it smelled like hair dye mixed with flowers), but I can overlook that since this made my hair look pretty!

All totaled my box is worth $56.87. That's a great deal since I only paid $21 for the box! I love Glossybox, they are one of my favorite boxes! I love that they include foreign brands, and just brands and products I want to try! I did cancel for February though because I haven't like the spoilers they've sent out so far, but I'd still totally recommend Glossybox to everyone, even with the crappy shipping last month.

Birchbox January 2014 Review!!

Hey guys! So I have a review of my January Birchbox today! I know this seems really super late, but I actually only got my box in about a week ago because I had cancelled after December, but since this month is a collab box I wanted to sign back up.

Birchbox is only $10 a month and they send primarily sample sized hair, skin care, and makeup items. I tend to get a lot of nail polish with them (which is fine since I put it in my profile that I love it), and they do send out a lot of tea and perfume samples as well.

This is what their boxes look like.

The theme for January was Go Time.

The first two items are the Fekkai Brilliant Glossing Shampoo and Conditioner. These go for $10 for both. I never use high end shampoo and conditioner, so I was excited to get this! I'm not sure if my hair looked any glossier, or if I'd rebuy, but they did a good job of making my hair look nice.

Then I received a Nail Rock Nail Glitter in Blue Glitter. This is full sized and goes for $7! I love that I always get nail polish in my Birchboxes and I was really hoping to get one of these sets! I love the Ciate sets, which are similar, so I can't wait to try this and see how it compares!

Then I got a Reviver Dry Deodorant Swipe for Clothes. This goes for $2.99. I'm pretty meh on this. I'm not around smokers or anything remotely smelly, so I'm not sure I'll ever use this.

The last item is an Inika Mineral Eyeshadow in Eternal Marine. This is full sized and goes for $20! I love the Inika brand and I think this is such a pretty oceany blue green color! I am also super impressed that this is a full size, since Birchbox tends to not send out full sizes too often.

All totaled my box is worth $39.99. That's an amazing deal since I only paid $10! Plus with the $5 I get back in points, it's obvious this box was well worth the money. I was so excited to get two full sized items this month and I just adore everything I got! I definitely think Birchbox is one of my favorite subscription boxes of all time!

Starlooks Starbox Review January 2014!!

Hey guys! So I have my Starlooks Starbox review from January.

Starlooks Starbox is $15 a month plus shipping (so my total is $17 and some change) and they send out full size items from Starlooks.

This is what their boxes look like.

This is their information cards. They talk about the theme on one side and then how to use the products on the other. There were a ton of different boxes this month, because the theme was Surprise Yourself! They did say that in February though, the only variations would be color variations.

The first item is an Infinity Eye Liner in Milky Way. This goes for $13! I really like this! I used this the other day with some purple liner to kinda create a cool looking cat eye and it looked super awesome! I love the texture of this and I think it is not only one of the best potted eyeliners I've used, but it can be used so many different ways! I really want more colors of this!

The next item is a Tender Gloss Lipstick in Puzzy. This goes for $13. I was pretty meh about this because the color pretty much disappeared on my lips. I did like the formula though ,it wasn't drying at all.

The next item is a Natalie Corona by Starlooks Infinity Lip Color in Eons. This goes for $15. I love this color! It is a nice pinkish berry color that just looks amazing! I haven't tried this yet, so I can't talk about the formula, but so far I like it.

Then there is a Natalie Corona by Starlooks Infinity Lip Color in Endless. This goes for $15. This is more of a frosty coppery color. I really like the color, but I haven't put it on yet to actually see if it's wearable or not yet.

The last item was just a little extra. It's an eyebrow comb. Not a bad item, just not something I'll probably ever use.

All totaled my box is worth $56! That's great since I only paid $17 and some change! I think Starbox is easily becoming one of my favorite boxes! The makeup they send tends to get sent in some different colors and I really love the quality of their items. Plus they offer amazing bonuses! Like they send out referral boxes every month if you've referred someone, birthday boxes in your birthday month, and they recently started a loyalty program, so every three months you're with them they will send you a loyalty gift valued at $35! (Which the first ones are being sent out this month, if you subbed from Dec-Feb!)

The February Looksbook is up and I'm really looking forward to it so far! If you're interested you have until the 10th of the month to sign up.

Blush Mystery Box Review January 2014!!

Hey guys! I have a new (to me anyway) box to review for you guys today! That box is Blush Mystery Box! I had seen reviews were they were giving out full sized Klorane products, so I figured that I might as well get one, since getting an item you want and a bag full of other stuff is always fun!

Blush Mystery Box is $24.95 a month. Or $34.95 if you only want one box. I've cancelled quite a few subs recently, so I decided to sign up for the monthly plan!

They put everything into little black bags!

This is their info cards. It has the "Top Pick" product on the front and information about the other products on the back. It also lists the curator for the month: which is Dr. Michelle Spring.

The first item is a Jane Iredale Just Kissed Lip Plumper in Tokyo. This is a sample and goes for $3? I think I have one of these in every color almost! And I'm also pretty sure I already have this color, so this will be going to the gift pile. It's an okay product, pretty color and smells good (like a Lime Crime lipstick). I just don't need two.

The only other sample in the whole box is a Goldfaden MD Wake Up Call. This goes for $7.53. I've been using a sample of a Goldfaden's scrub and I absolutely adore how it makes my skin look! I've been using this the past couple days and while I can't say for sure yet, I think my skin does look a bit better.

The next item is an Osmosis Skincare Harmonized Water Digestive Health. This is full sized and goes for $30! I'll be passing this along to my mom, simply because I really don't like taking anything extra for my body. It always just seems to mess it up more, so I just leave it alone.

The next item is the "Top Pick" of the month: A Pink Le Edge. This goes for $26. I think this is super cool! It's an exfoliating tool! I actually used it this morning and I really like how it made my skin look and feel! I never would have bought something like this, but I'm so happy to have gotten it in a box!

The next item is a Glytone Hydrating Eye Cream. This is full sized and goes for $38. I'm so happy to have gotten this! I'm almost out of the eye cream I've been using, so this came at the perfect time!

The last item (and the reason I signed up for this box) is the Klorane Mask with Desert Date. This is full sized and goes for $24! I was actually hoping to get the mask over the leave in cream, since I love hair masks! Plus this is huge! I know it's full sized and all, but still, this is going to last me forever! I love Klorane products! All the ones I've tried have been really amazing, so I'm sure this will be too!

All totaled my box is worth $128.53. That's amazing since I only paif $24.95 for the box! Sure I'm not going to use every single product, but even without those two things my box is worth just under $100! I would totally recommend Blush Mystery Box! It seems like a really great value and the products are totally quality. As of right now the January box is still available, but I'm sure the February one will be out in the next couple days!

Vegan Cuts Beauty Box Review January 2014!!

Hey guys! I got my January Vegan Cuts Beauty box in this week and I wanted to show you guys what I got! (By the way I am currently trying to catch up on reviews of boxes I've gotten in the past couple weeks, so there will be tons of things posted this weekend!)

Vegan Cuts Beauty box is $19.95 a month and they send out 4-7 cruelty free beauty products a month.

First look. They ship in plain brown boxes.

They're information cards. They talk about the items on one side and show a picture of the full sizes on the other.

The first item is a Dew Puff Asian Clay Sponge. This goes for $7. This is one of those exfoliating sponges. I have gotten quite a few of these in sub boxes recently and I really like how they make my skin look, so I'm glad to have another one!

The next item is Albrey Organics NuStyle Detangler & Shine Booster. This goes for $1.53. I really like Albrey Organic's body sprays, so I was super excited to get this! Tangles aren't a huge problem for me, but I used it this morning and it did make my small tangles a lot easier to brush through. The only thing is this doesn't really smell that good.

Then there is a Primal Pit Paste in Lavender. This goes for $1.11. I think this worked just as well as any other deodorant. However I didn't try it on a hot summer day, just a super cold day we've been having. I also like that the lavender scent isn't too overwhelming.

The next item is an Ofra Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in Plumas. This is full sized and goes for $14.92. I've tried Ofra's lip glosses in the past and while they are nice I'll probably be passing this one along, since I have quite a few lip glosses in this color.

Then I got foil packets of Better Botanicals Jojoba Clarifying Scrub and Coriander Balancing Cleanser, and a Biao Beauty Night Creme. These go for $1. I am totally fine with getting foil packets! I'm sure the scrub and cleanser I should be able to get two uses out of. But the night creme sample is so small, I hope I can get one use out of it. Sad too, because that would have been something cool to really try out.

All totaled my box is worth $25.56. That's good since I only paid $20 for the box, however I'm not super in love with the box this month. I loved my first Vegan Cuts box, but I haven't really super duper loved the last two boxes, so I think I'm going to take a break and try something new. Maybe I'll save up for one of the more expensive Quarterly Co boxes or FabFitFun or something. I think Vegan Cuts is a great company and I'm excited to see what boxes they come out with in the future, just right now they aren't what I want.
