Ziba Beauty Eye and Brow Set

Hey Sirens! I'm one lucky duck! I'm so excited to tell you that I won another Glossybox giveaway! This time I won Glossybox's Facebook Fan Giveaway!!

 

 

 

Ziba Beauty Eye and Brow Set

$48.00 Value!

 

 

Aruna Black Contrast Eye Pencil

 

 

Brow Set Brow Wax Pencil

 

 

Dual Pencil Sharpener

 

 

Multi Task Brush

 

I am just over the moon that I won this set after winning the Josie Maran Set only 2 months prior! I am very excited because I will get more use out of these products. I just loved the Sumita Beauty Kala Color Intense Pencil that I received in last month's Glossybox, so I'm psyched to try out the Aruna Black Contract Eye Pencil. I've also never used a wax pencil before, so I'm anxious to try it out. And I'm always happy to get tools that will last long after I've used up the makeup items.

Last time I got their GWP it contained a variety of brands, but I didn't mind that this one was all ULTA merchandise. It gave me a chance to try out a variety of their products. And since I'm already a huge fan of their eye liners, I was sure I'd like some of their other stuff as well.

ULTA Coupon

While I didn't end up loving everything in the bag, I'm glad I got to try out some new products. I do love the lip gloss, lip butter, and blush! The nail polish was okay and I've only swatched the eye liner. I haven't gotten around to trying the primer, mascara, or brushes yet. The only items I was really disappointed in were the eye shadows because they seemed chalky. I had high hopes for the shadows, but unfortunately they didn't have great pigmentation and were difficult to blend.

 

Did you get this Gift With Purchase? If so, what did you think of the bag and its contents?
Do you like a GWP to contain products from a single brand or do you prefer getting a mixture?

 



Glossybox March 2014

This month I was excited to see my Glossybox arrive a bit earlier than expected! Some of the box's contents came as a surprise this month since the March box information hasn't been updated on the Glossybox website. But I just adore everything in this month's box!

 

March Glossybox

 

ALEX AND ANI Scent 7 Soap Bar

Full Size (7 oz)-$14.00 Value!

When Glossybox stated on Facebook that we'd receive one of three items from Alex And Ani, I was really hoping I'd get the soap. You could have instead received their hand cream or body mist. I am so excited to try this soap out even though I usually opt to use body wash. This soap sounds amazing-it contains Shea Butter and Coconut Oil! Plus the warm spice and sweet floral scent smells divine!! I can't wait for my next shower!

 

ALTERNA HAIRCARE Bamboo Volume Plumping Strand Expand

Deluxe Size (0.85 fl oz)-$4.68 Value!

I love Alterna products! And I can use anything that can make my hair feel thicker and give it more volume, so I can't wait to try this out!
 

 

ETRE BELLE COSMETICS Liplift Peel

Full Size (0.5 fl oz)-$17.80 Value!

My lips have been a bit dry lately, so the timing of this is perfect! I can definitely use a product like this to exfoliate. Plus it's full size!

 

NAILS INC Brook Street Nail Polish

Deluxe Size (0.13 fl oz)-$3.74 Value!

By now I've tried a couple of polishes from Nails Inc, so I'm excited to add this one to my collection. This baby polish is so cute!! It's definitely a color I'd have picked out for myself.

 

SISLEY PARIS Black Rose Cream Mask

Deluxe Size (0.38 oz)-$28.59 Value!

I love masks and rose scented products, so I'm super excited to try this out! I love getting to try luxury products like this, but I would never buy this for myself due to the outrageous price tag.
 

 

Bonus Item: ALEX AND ANI Charm Bangle (Swan)

Full Size-$28.00 Value!

 

 

The box would have been awesome on its own, but this bonus item was the icing on the cake!  I like that their jewelry is made in America and just love the meaning behind the Swan symbol. While I wouldn't have purchased this piece on my own, it will make a great addition to my jewelry collection. I think it'd look great stacked with some other bracelets. I checked out their website and am now in love with the Metallic Daze Set of 6 from the Starry-Eyed & Raw Collection. I just wish it weren't so expensive!!

 

Total Cost: $18.33 (With Annual Subscription)

Total Value: $96.81!!

 

This has been the highest valued Glossybox I've received thus far!! And I'm so glad to have received a bracelet that I'll get to treasure once I've used up all the beauty items.

What was your favorite product in this month's box?

Ipsy Glam Bag March 2014

Evening Sirens! Tonight I'm sharing my March Ipsy bag!

This month's theme is Destination Beauty!

 

March Glam Bag

This month Ipsy collaborated with artist Klari Reis to create this bag depicting an abstract map of San Francisco! I viewed some of Klari's other works and found her petri dish paintings fascinating.
You can view her artwork at www.klariart.com.
 

 

BareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Lipstick (Get Ready)

Deluxe Size (0.05 oz)-$7.50 Value!
 

Others received BareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss in Rebel. I was hoping to get the lipstick because I already have 2  of the Moxie lipglosses (Rebel being one of them) in my collection and have yet to try any of the lipsticks. This is a pretty rosy pink-it's def something I'd wear.

 

NYX Love in Rio Eye Shadow (VooDoo Love Spells)

Full Size (0.105 oz)-$6.00 Value!

 

Ipsters could have also received this in  No Tan Lines Allowed, Amazonian Babes, Segredos De Giselle, Barefoot In The Sand, Meet Me At The Copa, Moonlit Skinny Dip, Cabana Boy, Bikini Bottom, or The Brazilian or the Be a Bombshell Bora Bora Eyeshadow Quad.

 

VooDoo Love Spells (Without Flash/No Primer)

 

VooDoo Love Spells (With Flash/No Primer)

 

This trio features the NYX New Bow Compact which I think is super cute! I was so excited to get this Eyeshadow compact because I love NYX products and Be a Bomshell has been hit or miss with me. I was super psyched when I saw the name of this compact-it's so me! Unfortunately, the shadows aren't very pigmented, but I got decent wear using an Eyeshadow primer.

 

Chella Indigo Blue Eyeliner

Full Size (0.034 fl oz)-$24.00Value!

 

You could instead have received Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF 42 PA+++ or  Nichole by OPI Roughles Nail Polish (On What Grounds?). I was really hoping to get the nail polish since the color is gorgeous and I love the texture trend. However, I've tried a couple of Chella products in the past and have never been disappointed with them. I'm really glad I ended up getting this product since it's new to the line and you know how much I love eyeliners! I don't pick up many liquid liners, and all the ones I have are black, so this makes a nice unexpected addition to my makeup collection. The color is very pretty and pigmented-I will have fun with this product!

 

Pixi Beauty Flawless Beauty Primer

Deluxe Size (0.4fl oz)-$9.00 Value!

 

This was one variation item you could have received. Other Ipsters got Pacifica Body Butter (Indian Coconut Nectar), Klorane Smoothing and Relaxing Patches with Soothing Cornflower, or Vita Liberata pHenomenal 2-3 Week Tan Lotion.
 

 I'm not a huge fan of Pixi, so I was disappointed to see I was getting this in my bag. I was setting my sights on the Pacifica Body Butter since I still haven't had the chance to try any of their products. But at least I didn't get the eye patches or tanning lotion.

 

Total Paid: $10.00
Total Value: $46.50!

 

This was an awesome bag-definitely worth the ten dollars! Unlike some months, we only got 4 items in this bag. But if you count November where we got 6 items, we still average 5 items a month. We scored some higher end beauty products this month, so it makes sense that we'd get one less item to compensate for the price.
