MU Challenge: Day 2

Day 2: Two makeup products you would not recommend - Is it bad that I'm struggling on day 2? I don't always remember the bad~

Cargo eye pencil - for people who have oily lids, this really takes the black and runs....
ELF Mineral face primer - I was not too fond of the smell of this product, although as a primer it did a decent job keeping the foundation on, it had clogged up my pores... boo!!

10 Days Makeup Challenge: Day 1

May Glossybox 2012 Canada

Suckered into getting yet another beauty monthly subscription~ Glossybox~~

I received this on Friday last week, however I didn't get to put up this post until now due to my D3 addiction~ However, I did get to try out most of these things so I've got a few thoughts to share with you :) Onto the goodies!

Can I say Wow to the packaging? I really like the details, the pink crown logo, the black and pink, and the box! I liked it so much that right after I emptied it, I put it to use by storing some of my other MU stuff... :D

Like other boxes, it had a little description card with this month's product info in it~

First item: Curel Foot Cream (100ml) I was surprised that I really liked this foot cream. It claims to 'improve the look and feel of even the driest heels and feet... hydrates and softens dry, cracked feet in just 2 nights.' I used it for two nights and I saw and felt a difference. My heels feel so nice now, I won't be scared to wear sandals this summer. One tip, put on socks after you apply it, this way will ensure that it doesn't get everywhere and keep the moisturizing to your feet only. Another plus I wanted to mention, this cream smells so nice!

Simple - Eye makeup remover (56ml) When I first saw the bottle I was a little skeptical about this makeup remover because the packaging just didn't appeal to me. But I gave it a try that same night and found it very pleasant and removed my makeup well. This is not the typical two-part makeup remover I'm used to, but it did the job without leaving the oily/greasy feeling around my eyes. All eye makeup was removed except for my mascara since it's the 'warm water removal'  type. 

Simple - Facial Wash gel (50ml) This was a non-scented, gentle face wash that I really enjoyed using in conjunction with my Clarisonic Mia. I would definitely consider purchasing the full size of this face wash in the future.

Sebastian - Professional Volupt Shampoo (Full size at 250ml) I saw SLS in the ingredient list and was a bit iffy at using it. I have not even smelled it yet, but have left it in my cabinet. Hopefully, will get to it in a month... haha...

Pandora's Makeup - Lip Gloss in Ciao (Full Size at 10ml) I am always happy to see a Canadian brand in my beauty box, however, I really didn't need another lip gloss~ This is so far the only product that is different from other May Glossyboxes I've seen. Everyone else got a boxx cream corrector that I wished I had received (always wanting what you don't have -__-) I swatched the colour on the back of my hand, but did not apply it on my lips, I thought it was too dark... maybe if I feel courageous, I would try it on my lips someday!

My first impression of Glossybox? I really liked it. I look forward to trying out different products and the surprises I may get :) A!

Loose Button Luxebox: May 2012

Hiya!

I really spoiled my own fun earlier today by checking out another blogger's post and finding out about this month's luxe box...

Anyhoot, my box finally came today so here goes~

Lots of stuff for the month of May

Cargo Blu_Ray lip gloss Belize - this was the full size product I got, retailed at $25. First impression: it smells very minty and when you first apply it you'll feel a slight tingly sensation on your lips (that eventually goes away). The colour that I got is actually very sheer and only adds a shine to my lip. I thought that the Timestrip Technology part was pretty cool, however, I don't see gloss lasting 9 months if I use it daily XD

Orlane Oligo vitalizing scrub - I feel a bit iffy about getting an Orlane product as I seem to be a bit sensitive to it on my face. This is suppose to help exfoliate dead skin cells to leave your face feeling fresh, smooth, bright and soft (big claim.) Will see.

Paco Rabanne Black XS L'exces for Him/Her - I don't really care for perfume sample such as these ones. I won't use it and the for 'Him' one was suppose to be a 'bonus.' Can I trade the two for something else? :D

Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask - If this came last month I would have been happier. This must be the 5th   product from this brand that I've received in my Luxe box... can I say that I'm feeling a bit bored?

This month we got a little something extra, a Bath and Body Box box which came with a Venus & Olay razor and an Olay Regenerist wrinkle revolution complex (my second one). I'm quite excited about the razor since the concept of a moisture bar on the razor is pretty interesting and good if it works.

Overall, this box was really meh~ I don't know if it was because I spoiled my own fun by reading ahead or if I am just bored with the repeat of brands and products I keep seeing in my luxe box. There was no first in line this month which was surprisingly a relief. Even though it was a 'meh' box, I think I'd still give it a B since two products out of the bunch made me happy/excited (lip gloss + razor). Am I the only one who thinks that these sample boxes lack a certain 'omph' to it?

If only they come up with a subscription box that contain samples of Asian products... I would be ecstatic!
