My February Curlbox Review

I received my CurlBox in the mail last week and I was not even expecting it so, it was a nice surprise. If you are not familiar with Curl Box it is a subscription box for women with curly hair. "CurlBox is an affordable, Exclusive and effortless way to explore new hair products. You can discover hand-selected curly hair products delivered to your doorstep every month. Every month subscribers receive 5-7 quality hair product samples for $20 per month."

I really enjoy this subscription box, I have not heard of a lot of the products that I receive so it is fun trying out new brands. Plus, I seem to ALWAYS need conditioner and these boxes always have a new conditioner to try!

Here is the box:

Cute packaging!

Black Girl Beauty Box January - Review

So,  I have not posted a review of my Black Girl Beauty Box in a while. Mostly, because I had a few painful issues with receiving them and etc. I received the January box on time with no issues! 

Black Girl Beauty charges $20 a month and the products usually have about a $35 -$45 value. For reference, other boxes charge about $25 a month and the products have a value of about $80 - $100.

I like the packaging that they use it is always wrapped nicely. Here is the box:

The two Mary Kay products came in a little black pouch which I do not show in pic.

• Cargo Swimmables Eye Pencil in Teal - Retail $18 Full Size
• Cuccio Nail Color in A Kiss in Paris - Retail $9 Full Size
• Sedu Anti-Frizz Polishing Treatment with Moroccan Argan Oil - I received two small samples of this. However, full size is 1oz for $16
• Mary Kay Make up remover sample size however, full size is $15
• Mary Kay Mascara sample size however, full size is $15

It is hard to put a value on the samples since they did not have the ounces listed. However, I have received these Sedu samples for free at I think Ulta. If I had to guess I would value the two Mary Kay products at about $10 total.

La Prairie Very Very Special Edition Glossybox

I have always wanted to try La Prairie products so, when I saw that Glossybox had a special edition La Prairie box I ordered it in seconds. This box sold out very quickly so, I am glad I wasted no time on this deal. If you are not familiar with La Prairie's products they are basically the bees knees! This special edition box retails for only $40 which is an awesome sauce good deal since most of their products are well over $100.

The box included two completely brand spanking new products never even seen before. A Cellular Swiss Ice Crystal Cream (retails for $300) and a Cellular Swiss Ice Crystal Dry Oil (also retails for $300). The box has a total of five 5 deluxe size samples of products, I mean these are really nice sized samples. I think I will get at least a month usage from this box. 

The goods!

La prairie!!!

The box contained the below (descriptions are via glossybox.com) :

• Cellular Swiss Ice Crystal Dry Oil (1.7 oz $300): This sheer, weightless dry oil instantly becomes one with your skin.

La Prairie has harvested the power of three near-miraculous survivalist plants to create a regenerative breakthrough – the Swiss Ice Crystal Complex. It can help protect your skin from environmental assault and climate trauma. The secrets within these plants can give your skin power it needs to put aging on ice.

The total cost of the full size versions of these products comes up to about $1,130.00 so, to say this is a deal is an under statement! Only fear I have is that I will get hooked on one of these products then what??

Chic on the Cheap

I know is it hard to tell with all the snow but, spring is really coming. As I type this I have on my snow boots with about three layers of clothes and; I am looking out at mountains of snow piles but, my mind is on spring.

So, look pass the snow and image the warm sun on your toes in these super cute Steve Madden pumps. Marlennee is available in nine colors however, this floral print is just too fun. These retail for $99.

You can save some dough and head over to Target and purchase these Mossimo Shari heels for only $29.99. The look is almost identical.

My Review of the Crown Brush HD Set - #crownbrush

I was sent these brushes from iFabbo to review and I was thrilled because I needed a new brush set. Crown is new to me and after some research I found out they have been around for over 30 years.

As you can see the brush set comes in three different colors, I received the six piece set in orange. It contains 6 different size brushes a mirror, tweezers all in a cute zipper case. The brushes are 100% vegan and are very sturdy high quality.

The brush set includes:
Detail Liner, Chisel Shadow, Crease Blender, Deluxe Contour, Tapered Blush, and Pro Powder and tweezers.


I think my fave of the set is the tapered blush the size is perfect which makes for easy application. My second favorite would the tweezers, these are nice tweezers. Overall, I liked the brush set I did not experience any shedding and they are very soft. 

Overall, these is a great brush set for a beginner like me!

Perlier Imperial Honey Review

I was sent this Perlier Imperial Honey Body Butter to review and, talk about perfect timing! Whew, my skin is starting to crave extra moisture since the temperature has dropped. Now, this body butter retails for $40, however it uses honey (which is costly) from African Black Bees, which does amaze balls things to your skin 

Although, it is pricey the tub is large it is 6.7 fl oz and a little goes a long way. It is a thick and very moisturizing BUT not greasy or oily at all.  My skin felt GREAT, I mean Tony the Tiger GREAT. Ok, Now let me tell you about the scent.... oh child it is strong and it stays with you. At first I did not like this at all; I mean I love honey in my tea but I don't want to smell like my cup of tea. The smell actually grew on me and I kinda like it now. I guess this will come down to personal preference.
