I always go back and forth between Sephora and Ulta as my #1 favorite beauty store. Both stores have their own branded cosmetic lines, and until recently both have been pretty hit or miss. Ulta has recently stepped up their Ulta Collection product line to the point where they are seriously competing with much more […] Read more…

Birchbox – August 2017
Ah, Birchbox. You’ve gone and done it again – filled a box with things I love, things I’ve wanted to try, and things I didn’t know I wanted. Note the large size of all the samples this month, these were all deluxe samples. In fact, several items are just about half the size of the […] Read more…
Play! by Sephora – August 2017
I was really happy with my Sephora Play box this month until Lauren told me what she got in hers – now Sephora and I are fighting. Lauren’s Note: The bag in this month’s Play! by Sephora box says “Makeup Geek” on it, and the owner of the brand Makeup Geek was NOT IMPRESSED– she […] Read more…
POPSUGAR Must Have – August 2017
This month was POPSUGAR’s 5th anniversary! Of course the box was themed around that, which sounds like it’d be full of cliches and confetti, and to some extent it was – but in the best way possible. POPSUGAR Must Have Price: $39.95/month Box Type: Lifestyle & beauty, full-sized products Why you’ll love it: Always on-trend, always fun […] Read more…
Book of the Month – August 2017 Selections!
This month’s Book of the Month titles were SO GOOD!! It was extremely hard to choose which one I wanted, I had several that I was really interested in, plus there is an amazing book add-on this month! For all you fans of The Girl in Cabin 10, you probably don’t want to miss this […] Read more…
Birchbox – July 2017
Birchbox used to be my least favorite box (seriously, read my earliest reviews), but in the past year I have found myself getting most excited for it out of all the boxes I receive. I really love this box and how perfect for me the samples have become. They have done a complete 180 in […] Read more…
POPSUGAR Must Have – July 2017
It often happens that I find internet spoilers for boxes a bit underwhelming, but then when the box arrives I like it substantially more than I thought I would. That’s what happened with this month’s Popsugar. Everything in person was just… better than I expected. POPSUGAR Must Have Price: $39.95/month Box Type: Lifestyle & beauty, full-sized […] Read more…
Book of the Month – July 2017
I am SO excited for my book choice this month! It might skip all the way ahead to the top of my reading list, in fact. Oftentimes I go back and forth trying to decide which title to pick for the month, but this time I knew exactly which one I wanted. You’ll see why […] Read more…
POPSUGAR Must Have – June 2017
For some reason the June Popsugar box was sent out waaaaay later than normal this month. I was googling for spoilers for weeks after they normally ship, wondering why I hadn’t gotten my box yet. It’s finally here, but was it worth the wait? This month was a weird one, but I like more things […] Read more…
Play! by Sephora – June 2017
I have to admit, I was not a fan of this month’s box. It was mostly stuff I’ve gotten SO. MANY. TIMES. BEFORE. The rest is stuff I have no use for. Oh well, can’t win ’em all, I suppose. (Jill wrote this blog but Lauren couldn’t help jumping in on some things because she […] Read more…
