Lookbag Update

So I got an email about a week and a half ago saying my bag was on it's way, no tracker or anything o.O... And I wasn't charged this month. not sure wtf is going on at this point lol. Just glad I cancelled and hope they don't try to charge me again.

Myglam & Birchbox May 2012


                                 Myglam                                                                                 Birchbox


Well.. this will be my last Myglam & Birchbox post, I ended up cancelling Birchbox. I was very excited because of the Gossip Girl themed box, and I ended up being a bit disappointed. Decided if that was what I was to expect from the hype, future boxes might not be so great. Plus I didn't even get a nail polish this month to keep me happy :-(.

So I was sent... junk, I don't even really need to say what it is, you can see it. Yes.. that is a card, a single memo card. No that is not a deluxe beauty sample. I was a little excited when I first opened the box because there was a Stila eyeliner in there, but it's a bronze shimmery color and it isn't that pigmented at all, I had to paint it on over itself a few times to get it to stand out, and I am very pale! So anyway... Birchbox sorry to end our short lived relationship but you just didn't do it for me.

As for Myglam... I was also excited about this bag, and the lipstick would have been enough for me, unfortunately... I got it in an ugly brown. Again.. I'm pale, no thank you.

As for the nail bling.. meh, the brushes... are sooo tiny that I don't know how i would use them. I did see some people use them as nail art brushes so that may be what they end up as. The bag is of course cute, they always are. My favorite thing out of this bag though was the perfume, it's Love sweet love by philosophy and I absolutely love it, I definitely will be purchasing a full size bottle, so all in all Myglam wasn't a total disappointment, but I did get unlucky with the color of the lipstick. And I'm done with the brushes! Lol. I still have high hopes for Myglam and will stick with them for the time being.

I skipped subscribing to Glossybox because of these two but now I'm regretting it, I watched some videos and the products looked good. Though there was some contreversy with the boxes not being the actual products but blogger gifts to review... I don't know yet but we shall see!

Ciaté Caviar Manicure

Sorry it's been a while since I updated! Had a lot going on irl lately. But I have so much to post about! I might get a few posts done today :-D.

So the newest thing I bought was this Caviar nail polish set, I actually saw someone post about this on facebook and decided that I NEEDED it. So I went.. couldn't decide on a color so I got all three! Lol. Well After I did I went to go look at reviews. There were so many negative reviews it was a little disappointing after reading them, people were complaining about how easily the beads were falling off. I had just spent 85 dollars on 3 sets so I was upset. I would say to read the reviews first next time but...

I  received my package yesterday and I tried it out. I have since then cooked dinner, washed dishes, showered, slept, chatted up a storm on the internet, and I have only lost a few pearls, not enough to be noticeable at all. I did follow the directions completely, so who knows what everyone else was complaining about but these are gorgeous and I love them so much! I can't wait to try the other colors.

You can buy these on Sephora, and they are 25 dollars each but they are worth it and on top of that Sephora always sends you tons of samples to try. So if you love fancy pretty nails definitely give them a shot!
