MARCH LOOSE BUTTONS LUXE BOX 2012

My first ever LOOSE BUTTON LUXE BOX. I was excited to try this and it ranks number two out of the boxes I have been getting.


 We where sent three samples of perfumes to vote for. I had already used two of the three so it was not to special. Full size sells for: Daisy Eau So Fresh 75ml $85.00, Katy Perry Purr 50ml $79.00, Calvin Klein Forbidden Euphoria 50ml $45.00.
 CHI SILK INFUSION
I have a bunch of CHI products so this was nothing exciting but I did decide how great this is for travel! Put it in my travel bag and will continue to use my full size product of it. This is one of the heat protectors I use before straightening my hair. Full size sells for: 180ml $33.00
 CONSONANT ULTRA MOISTURIZING ORGANIC FACE CREAM FOR DRY SKIN.
I love using this stuff! I had never heard of the brand before getting it in this box. It really helped my  skin and I had no breakouts! No perfume smells or anything. Full size sells for: 50ml $54.00
 I had chosen another Cargo product but they sent me this so I was kinda bummed but anyhoo I got CARGO LASH ACTIVATOR works well but no clue if it is making my lashes grow since I am using another lash growing product. Full size sells for: $35.00

MARVEL ZOMBIES THE COVERS BOOK

Book Review time!

 Well no secret by my name that I love Zombie stuff! I also love Marvel comics so put them together and this is what you get!!!

 The art work is amazing! I can't believe how much of a transformation there is for some of these characters and the settings.
Brilliant! Each page tells a story and the original print date to when the zombie cover was made. Can't believe I got this on sale! This book is well cool and friends are always asking where I got it. I have been a marvel comic fan since I was a little girl as well as a zombie fan so this book is wicked!

GLYMM BOX CANADA MAY 2012

I thought it was really cool that they did a green box with less wasteful packaging


 I took two picture as the lighting was not fabtastic. They put or products in these bags was cool to get but would not want one every month because that just equal more landfill waste around since how many does one person need?!








GLOSSY BOX CANADA APRIL 2012

Here it is my second box! so far out of the three companies I get beauty boxes from Glossy Box is still the champion! Worth every penny and more then pays for itself!

 pretty package and box you can re use to organize stuff with later
 Look at all these full size products! wow!
 Full size AVEENO POSITIVELY RADIANT DAILY MOISTURIZER says it is clinically proven to improve the look of tone, texture, brown spots and so on. I have been using it for about two weeks and noticed that my skin has a bit more moisture but breaking out a bit more than usual...possibly due to the SPF 15 in it. Its bad but I don't tend to use products with SPF in it on my face as my skin is so sensitive I usually end up with lots of breakouts. Natural smell is nice. This product sells for: 120ml $22.09
 Full size! ELIZABETH GRANT SKIN CARE SHOWER GEL. I like that it has a pump on it. Nice bubbles and a light smell. I have not tried it as a shower gel yet but is nice for bath. Not sure if I would buy it for myself again just because I prefer more natural products. Sells for: 240ml $20.00

WELLA  BRILLIANCE TREATMENT FINE  TO NORMAL HAIR. I love the smell of this product, kinda reminds me of Salon Selective products back in the day. The thick treatment leaves hair light and shinning. Says it also contains diamond dust that's interesting. Full product sells for: 150ml $13.99

 WELLA BRILLIANCE CONDITIONER FINE TO NORMAL has the exact same great smell! It was light and my hair felt hydrated was really nice to try. Not sure if I would but the full size product but I would recommend it to a friend or zombie. Full size sells for: 250ml $13.99.

Full size! MARCELLE XTENSION PLUS MASCARA thing I just found another favorite mascara!! My eyes had a look of fake lashes after a few coats without the clumpy look or stuck together lashes! LOVE THIS PRODUCT! Have used Marcelle makeup before so knew they have good quality. This is fabulous and I will be buying it after I am done with this!!! Sells for 9ml $12.50

Hate that they sent only this tiny one use packet! Can't get a feel for the product and or its quality so have nothing to add besides would have liked a bigger sample! Full size is 45ml for $22.95

ESSENCE COSMETICS REVIEW.

Have not heard of this company before however Shoppers Drug Mart just started to carry them so while doing so shopping I decided to pick some out of the line. This was done in two trips since the nail polish only had a few shades left I went back the next week and they had some colours I liked.

 The nail polishes are about half the size of a normal size nail polish.
Really cheap only $1.49 each. After two coats they go on really well. You will need a top coat to keep them from chipping however. I painted my nails in both colours as soon as I got home to test them out!
 They have different shades of eyebrow pencils went on pretty well but did do a bit of smudging or fading later in the day.

 When I saw this colour I had to have it! ummm did not like how it went on or its staying power. I hated that it did some "crumbling" some of its rubbed into my skin this picture but moral of my story will never buy this again!!










LUMENE FINLAND

My friend in Finland sent me these products!
I have just started trying them out so will let you know if they really worked for me soon!





Loose Buttons Canada April 2012

My second box! Review time!  April was Daffodil Month I thought it was really great that loose buttons Canada got together with the Canadian Cancer Society  to make contributions on behalf of us. So as you can see in the box we each got a daffodil pin. They also donated a product from each box to make boxes for women with cancer.

By far my favorite product this month! You know how when you buy a nail polish that has glitter in it and your like "Wow these is so much in the bottle my nails are going to be covered in glitter!".....Well or something like that. And then you get home and put it on....the product falls flat and you end up with a minimal amount of glitter sparkles on your nails. Well not with China Glaze!!! The shade I got as you can see below is called "Liquid Crystal" When I put it on my nails I loved it! I honestly kept stopping to look at my nails and how cool they looked......Shiney shine!! lol Typing and then like woow looking at my nails and how great they look after several days even! I am going to buy the other shades in this collection.
 This was a full size product!! Woot! It retails for $8.00 14ml.
 PANTENE PRO-V AQUA LIGHT SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER
Least favorite product! I thought it was great they send travel sizes of this product to try out instead of the annoying plastic tiny ones. When I opened the package they where both together in. It smelled soooo good I was like wow this is great....However when I tried it out! Okay so I've got bright red hair and have to wash it in freezing cold water in order to maintain colour it bleeds slightly each wash. Yup when I used this product it wash like washing out my hair dye or something like a ton of colour came out that when I dried it I notice a significant loss of colour......I would not recommend this for anyone with colour treated hair. Full size sells for: Shampoo 375ml $6.00 and Conditioner 375ml $6.00
 Next we have BOBOS REMI LEAVE IN HAIR CONDITIONER. Actually really like that this product had a light scent. It didn't leave my hair feeling heavy or greasy feeling. Full size is 10oz for only $10.00 so it will be one of my new leave in products....When you heat and colour your hair you can never have to many!

Last but not least YVES ROCHER GENTLE EYE MAKEUP REMOVER FOR SENSITIVE EYES. I was like great! when I got this since I just ended up tossing out yet another eye remover because it irritated my eye and the area around it. This product is great! I have been using it for about three weeks now and have not had any irritations. Removes pretty well and does not have a strong perfume scent. I would purchase this for sure. Full size products sells for: 125ml for $6.00
