Hi everyone! Just a quick update! If you haven't noticed, I have been posting less and less. Part of that is I am moving!! Second part, I have been studying for the GRE. So you may still see blogs, just not so frequently! I don't think anyone ever reads these on a regular basis, so I don't think anyone will take this too harshly...
Until next time..

Unboxing August's LipMonthly Box
Hi everyone! So I am back with a LipMonthly unboxing! It's $10 a month and they send you a bag full of lip/beauty products. Though I thought last month's was okay, I am thoroughly unimpressed with this box. There are a few surprises that I liked, but overall I will be unsubscribing. Here is my bag, judge for yourself.
City Color Be Matte Lipstick in Pheobe -$3.99
It's a bright berry color. Though the color is beautiful, it does feel very drying on the lips and seem to extenuate your cracks.
City Color Magic Balm - $2.99
You may think this is colorless, however, it gives of a baby pink stain. Yes, you heard me, it stains!
City Color Lip Balm in Ultra Pink - $3.99
This is a repeat from last month. It's in a different color as it's a berry pink, but still the same product. Not so thrilled I got a repeat.
Jesse's Girl Liquid Glass Lip Gloss in Lip Lock -$4.99
It's a pink lilac that's very opaque.
Pixi Shadow Stick, I forgot the picture (coming soon). It's a bronze taupe shadow stick with saves this whole box
Overall, I'm not too impressed, especially since 3 of the 5 products are from City Color and one is a repeat from last month. Honestly, since I am paying full price for this box I am very disappointed. I understand that this box adds up to more than I paid, however, I am definitely not convinced when I regularly see these products for cheaper at my local drugstore, which then makes me question how much "value" I am getting. I subscribed to this box in hopes of trying new products and different lines, but when over half the box is from the same company, I feel like I am just being sent the entire lip line of 1 brand. Not to mention I got a repeat product from last month! What is this, you had extra from last month so you are sending it out again? I will definitely be unsubscribing. If you have tried this box, I would love to know your thoughts!
Until next time...

July Beauty Favorites!
Hi Everyone! So I know this post is late late late, but for those of you who care to know, here it is! Not too many favorites this month, however do count on more favorites next month as I have been hauling like crazy!
E.L.F. Studio Blush in Candid Coral
I have been using this blush everyday this month! Why? If gives you the perfect glow to your cheeks and is so quick and easy to blend out.
Words cannot describe how much I love the look of this CC Cream. It makes your skin looks flawless, but natural at the same time! Not to mentions, there is SPF in it!
Wet n Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Collection Sparkle Til Morning
I bought this from a blog sale, and I have been loving this for summer! You got some nice warm colors in here, but also some color to spice up your look.
Maybelline ColorSensational The Vivids in Vivid Rose
I have been going to this lipstick for that bright summer lip! It goes on quite smoothly and last a good while especially if I'm not eating or drinking!
NYX Butter Gloss in Cherry Cheese Cake
I have always wanted to take part in the orange lip, but like many I was always too scared! This lipgloss is a great way to dip your toes into the trend without fully jumping into it.
My lazy day lip gloss. Enough said.
Love, Fire Dress from Macy's
Not quite a beauty item, but it makes me feel like a beauty bombshell! When I first saw this dress I was in love! I actually passed it up the first time, but I couldn't stop thinking about it so I went back and picked it up!
So not too many favorites, but like I said, there will definitely be more next month!
Until next time...
