Beauty Box 5 - August 2015 - Primped

August's Beauty Box 5 is designed to help you get primped. 

Donnamax - printed nail file

*Full size*  value: $5

This cute nail file comes with it's on carrying case, which people seem to love. It has a nice design and can be thrown in your purse for easy use.

Starlooks - Luxe longwear eyeliner in Plum

*Full size*  value: $19

I prefer liquid eyeliners for on my eyelid. What I really love is that this is a deep plum hue. It adds a  little dimension from the usual black winged liner. It has a felt tip for easy use and is long lasting. 

Hask Beauty - Coconut Oil deep conditioning hair treatment 

*Full size*  1.75 oz/ 50g   value: $2.50

This deep conditioner helps restore moisture into your locks. It re-hyrdates and softens all hair types. 

Jerome Alexander - Hot Stuff Go Pop compact

*Full Size*  value: $11

This hot pink compact took me by surprise! I haven't used makeup like this since my middle school days. The compact itself is a rubbery material, which is interesting. The compact includes three lip glosses and three shadows. The products themselves are decent quality.

Pur~lisse- Hydra-balance moisturizer

0.5 oz/ 15 ml   value: $16

I am happy to continue receiving these pur~lisse samples in my beauty boxes because they are such high value. This moisturizer uses Lotus Lupine Peptide Complex, vitamin E and French marine plants to give your skin balance. Use after cleansing morning and evening. 

I truly enjoyed about half the products in this month's box. The total value of the August box is $53.50. The Starlooks eyeliner in plum is easily the most used product from this box for me. 

IPSY - August 2015 - Prep School

We're flying through August and that means school is quickly approaching. IPSY decided to go with a prep school themed glambag this month.

I am a huge fan of houndstooth and the pink detailing complements perfectly. The material is a weird, almost plastic.


Doucce - Ultra Precision eye liner in black
*Full size* 0.03 fl oz   value: $22

Black eyeliner is a staple in almost everyone's beauty routine, so this was spot on. Plus FULL size? I love it. The liner goes on very smoothly and is a rich black. The liner does need to be sharpened.


Cover FX - blemish treatment
*Full size* 0.5 fl oz/ 15 ml   value: $22

I have been spoiled lately with all these full size products. This blemish treatment is coming right in time! My skin is starting the show the signs of too much summer and the pimples are slowly forming. It is a light gel that can be applied. Let it dry and you can apply your makeup over the top.


Hikari Cosmetics - lip gloss in Merlot
*Full size* 16 oz/ 4.6 g   value: $13

I absolutely love wine, so anything wine themed is good in my book. This merlot color is exactly what you would expect and I love it. It is a thicker formula so it stays put on your lips pretty well.


Batiste - dry shampoo in Blush
50 ml/ 1.6 fl oz/ 30g  value: $2

I am already of huge fan of Batiste's dry shampoo. This little size is perfect for when I travel. The blush has a pleasant scent. Just make sure to spray it far enough away from your head so you don't get that dreaded white, dusty look.


OZ Naturals - Amino herbal hydration mask
1 fl oz/ 30 ml    value: $3

Apply this clear gel mask and watch it work wonders. I have fairly dry skin and this left my face feeling refreshed. The formula contains Hyaluronic acid, vitamin B5 and vitamin E. This face mask is high quality and produces great results.


I can easily say I LOVED everything in this month's glambag. My August bag has a total value of $62. The Hikari lipgloss is already one of my favorites and the blemish treatment has saved my breakouts.
