BirchBox Man June!

Hi Everyone!
My husband received his BirchBox Man yesterday and he is super stoked on it! I have to say that their boxes are definitely geared to men and even though they are $20, they have some pretty awesome products in them!

Let's get started!

This box included 6 "samples"


$10.00  

Birchbox Breakdown

Desktop cable management may not be sexy, but neither is rooting around on your hands and knees amidst the mounting dust bunnies under your desk looking for your fallen power charger. Cordies keeps all your power cords, phone chargers, and audio cables in order so you can plug in and unplug easily and quickly.

How it Works

Weighted but flexible rubber provides a solid grip for all your cords. A rubber bottom gives the Cordies module a solid hold on your desk.

How to Use

Thread all your cables through the 3.5-inch wide organizer and you won’t have to waste your time detangling them or retrieving them from under your desk. You can even stack cables on top of each other within the three individual loop spaces. If you have more devices than that, you may want to think about scaling back.


$5.00   

Birchbox Breakdown

When you store your earbuds in your pocket or backpack, they typically go in neatly folded like a new pair of shoelaces, but come out looking more like a ball of dried out spaghetti. This small and durable plastic contraption is designed to keep your headphones organized and detangled as they go in and out of your pocket.

How it Works

The Wrapster allows you to wrap your headphones vertically so they’re neater and flatter in your pocket. A totally sweet and unexpected extra: when not housing your earbud cords, the Wrapster works as a stand for your iPhone in landscape mode.

How to Use

Thread your earbud cords through the two separate side tubes, and wrap the main cord around the center. Slide the wrapped-up headphones into your pocket. When you want to use them again, unwrap the main cord but leave the left and right earbud cords in the side tubes.


$21.00   

Birchbox Breakdown

Years of coffee and red wine can do a number on once-pearly whites. That’s where this effective whitening toothpaste comes in. The scientifically advanced formula uses a proprietary mineral-based agent to lift away surface stains without causing sensitivity. It’s safe for all types of teeth, even false ones and veneers.

How it Works

Each refreshing flavor uses a combination of effective ingredients to leave your teeth in mint (and minty fresh) condition. The key is Calprox®, a form of calcium peroxide that whitens teeth without stripping enamel. Plus, fluoride prevents cavities, while baking soda keeps breath fresh.

How to Use

Squeeze a pearl-size drop of toothpaste onto a dry toothbrush. Brush your teeth for two minutes, using circular motions. Rinse.


BENTA BERRY Super Moisturizing Face Cream for Men


Birchbox Breakdown

This even-keeled moisturizer is designed to keep your skin balanced (read: not too dry, not too oily). Ideal for all skin types, the all-natural formula hydrates without clogging pores, and it dries to a matte finish (so you don’t have to worry about break-outs or forehead shine).

How it Works

The glycerin base is fortified with a globe-trotting blend of skin-softening botanical extracts sourced from Europe, China, and Africa, including pomegranate, kiwi and kigelia africana (also known as the “sausage tree”).

How to Use

A small amount goes a long way. Swipe a pea-sized amount onto face after cleansing. The emollient formula takes a bit longer to dry than other moisturizers, so allow your skin a minute or so to absorb the cream.


$29.00   

Birchbox Breakdown

Many shaving aids foam and froth dramatically, but that doesn’t mean they’re offering your face protection through a shave. Prepping your face with a quality pre-shaving formula—one that sits directly against the skin—will ensure you’re safe from nicks, bumps, and irritation. True to its name, John Allan’s pre-shave solution creates a super slick and super protective primer coat, over which you can apply your usual shaving solution. Think of it like the Zamboni that smoothes and cools the shaving surface, allowing your razor to glide like Apolo Ohno.

How it Works

Anti-inflammatory oat kernel and cucumber extracts teach touchy, post-shave skin to chill out, while tea tree oil, that wondrous Australian import with antiseptic powers, lends the solution a robust and invigorating smell. This “slick water” is indeed extremely slippery, but not at all oily.

How to Use

This is something like a shaving base layer. After washing your face, apply a small amount of this solution to your chin, cheeks, neck, and upper lip before spreading your preferred shaving cream or gel on top of it.

 Overall, I think this month they got their money's worth. It will be interesting to see what the next months have in store. Most companies start off really well and then start running out of ideas/samples and then you may cancel. So, hopefully they will continue to find great companies to introduce our men to! Like I said before, it makes me feel a lot better about having all my other subscription services!! lol.

Here is where you can get your box or a box for the man in your life :)

                                                         Happy Shopping!!

MyGlam Bag For June + Summer Bronze Makeup Tutorial!


Hey Everyone!
So...if you haven't already seen my video on the June MyGlam Bag I thought I'd share it with you. I have been a member since they started last December 2011 and I think I am one of the few people that think they have just been getting better and better every month. I have been super happy with all their products and have found uses with all of them. For $10 a month it is an amazing deal!
If you want to sign up you can go to their website and get on their waiting list to be notified via email or go to their facebook page because they usually announce it there as well. They normally only open up a certain amount of subscriptions, so if you want it then you have to hop on in QUICK!
Anyways, here are their links (and no, I don't get referral credits or anything :)

Also, if you are interested, here is the tutorial I created for the MyGlam video below!



I pretty much explain all the products I use in the video. I tried to put to use a lot of the products from the June MyGlam Bag. I really love the Marbella Liquid Liner. I also used my Naked Palette for my eyes as well as the NYX Glitter for my eyes from a past Glam Bag. Lips, I used the NYX color "Georgia" that I got in my Glam Bag as well, which is such a pretty shiny pink for this summer look.
If you guys have any questions about anything just comment below or you can catch me on

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Julep Maven Mystery Box - June!


Hi Everyone!
So I received my Julep Maven Mystery Box for June. It was $19.99 which is the normal price for 1 month of the subscription. The catch was that you could get anything from $50-$200 worth of product. It was super exciting and I saw a bunch of people on YouTube get SO many things....My poor little box was probably just the same size as the normal Julep box, but it was white. An automatic *sad face*
HOWEVER, when I watched the other videos of people getting foot creams, scrubs, blah, blah, blah and only getting a couple nail polishes I really didn't end up minding the one I got!

Remember...Your first month is only 1 Penny with code: 


I was actually pretty surprised that I got almost ALL nail polishes! I was so worried that I was going to get dupes because I already have about 10 colors. I don't know if they looked at my past orders, but I do NOT have any of these colors! I even got the chap stick which I actually LOVE! The nail file couldn't have come at a better time because my other one just doesn't work anymore. I'm most excited about the Fast Dry Top Coat that I got!! I'm really stoked that I pretty much got all nail polishes and not a bunch of different beauty products that I probably wouldn't use. As you may know, I have added a second 96 bottle nail polish wall mount to my already twin one that I have! So, I am all for nail polishes. I'm really thrilled with this box. Is it worth $19.99? Hmmmm...I'm not sure. I've been getting free boxes for the last 3 months from referrals, so I guess it's totally worth it. I'm not a big gambler so I think this was totally out of character for me, but I happened to have exactly $20 left on my gift card from my birthday :)

Here are all the colors that I got and the pics are courtesy of Julep :)
Let me know what you guys think in the comments below!!!

Elegant blush creme. Lovely as a manicure. 
What makes Julep Nail Color so great?
Julep Nail Color is “4-free” and does not contain formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, toluene, or DBP. Our professional chip-resistant formulation is delivered via our exclusive flat brush with micro-frayed brush hairs.
Julep nail color is a fun way to make the season’s latest shades accessible to everyone.  And because we’ve tested our trend-setting toxin-free colors and products in over 100,000 manicures and pedicures in our parlors, we have a good idea of what works and what our clients love. ♥♥♥



Deep, sky blue creme.  Somewhere between periwinkle and denim funky, but not too flashy. An Editor's Favorite on Allure.com (2010). 
 ♥♥♥



Sheer spring green with a flash of aqua iridescent glitter. ♥♥♥

A quick-dry high shine finish that prevents yellowing and protects your nail color for longer lasting mani-pedis.  For best results, use with Julep Basecoat or Julep Nail Therapy and Julep Nail Vernis. ♥♥♥
