Julep Maven Box (1st)

Julep Maven Intro Box
Well most people knew I was so excited to get this box because I only paid a penny for it. They do that special so hopefully you subscribe to their box every month for I think $19.98 plus tax. Well I came home from work and opened my box and it stunk like nail polish. I opened the pink bag that all of the items are in and took everything out. When I took the nail polishes out that were wrapped in bubble wrap tightly, the one was cracked and leaked all over but the other one was fine. I was really disappointed because I did want to subscribe every month that I liked the box because they send you a preview email and then you can say yes or no or pick a different style or even send it to a friend. Right now I'm not sure what I'm going to do but hopefully the email I sent them will at least get me a replacement bottle of the nail polish. We will see... I'll keep you updated.
Moving on now...
My box was the "Classic with a twist"
So I received :
-toe separators
-Julep nail polish Rose (its a watermelon color) Really pretty! Love it!
-Julep nail polish Kate (its a white color) Would of been nice to try.... =(
-Pedi Creme ( This smells good and kind of smells like a hint of mint and feels really smooth on my feet and you're suppose to expect noticeable results in 1 to 2 uses)

Well that's the Julep box and I know if you read my previous post on the beauty boxes I still think they are a waste of money if you don't get stuff you don't use or like plus come on this only cost me a penny!
XOXO

Clean Start

I was lucky enough to get this kit for free from someone I know. I have never had good looking skin and my face is prone to break outs well I've tried all the drugstore brands, proactiv also and then this. Certain brands worked for a while and some didn't. Proactiv dried out my skin too much. This Clean start really seems to work for me, my favorite thing out of the whole box is the bedtime for breakouts. You put it on when you go to bed, it is a little sticky but when you skin wake up in the morning your feels soft and your breakout is almost gone or completely gone depending on how bad it was.

Well this kit is $35 on http://cleanstart.dermalogica.com or they have individual bottles or mini kits

BBW (Bath & Body Works) Of Course!!

I just went here yesterday...I LOVE this store.So many things to smell yummy! Well anyways before I get carried away they are celebrating in August the Paris scents and right now if you buy something at participating store on August 11 from 1 to 5 pm if you buy 1 full size product from the signature collection you get this coupon for a free item up to $15 which is better than most of their coupons up to $12 only. Also I got another coupon which is the free signature collection item up to $12 when you spend $10 but who cares about the actual coupon, it's previewing a body spray in the shape of the Eiffel Tower! I can't wait to get one of these body sprays!!! (Let me take a picture of the coupons really quick....)

There you go... See isn't that bottle cute? I want one!! Coming August 6th!
 Yay!!

I love this collection it smells so good!

Venus & Olay Razor
            Well I have to say usually I don't buy the razor with the extra moisturizing strips or bars on them but I must say I really like this razor my skin feels so smooth and silky and you don't even need shaving cream.
The only down side is that the moisturizing bar above and below feels all gooey after you get it wet.
So I'm not in love with the razor but it does make my skin feel nice and smooth.I would give it a 3.5 out of 5 because of the gooey part.

Olay Moisturizing Body Wash & Lotion
            I really like the body wash, it goes great with the razor and making your skin feel smooth. I have dry skin so I really was looking forward to see if this made my skin feel any better, which it did make it feel less dry but didn't have outstanding benefits. I'd give it a 4 out of 5. If you pair it with the lotion however after you use the body wash in the shower it seems to keep my skin moisturized for a lot longer. Plus the lotion is really thick so you know its not some cheap crappy lotion that is like water. I give it 5 out of 5.

Well of course the bath loofah is nice but I have like 3 already so that doesn't matter.
The coupons are good.
The magazine subscription I just signed up for so I can't too much about that but it will be nice to get something to read in the mail every month.
XOXO

Febreze set and refresh

Well I received this really good smelling sample in the mail today.
The scent is apple spice and delight.
So far I totally recommended this but I well tell you how long it last.
The really cool part is you just put the cartridge in and let it click in place then put it in the room you like.

Beauty Boxes.....worth it or not?

Well I've been noticing in my searching that there are a lot of different beauty box subscriptions you can take part in. Most of them seem to cost $30 and under, but are they really worth it? Do you get something that you actually use? I've notice on most blogs about the beauty boxes people have paid for they only get maybe one item they like...Sounds like a total rip off to me, why do you just go to the store and make your own beauty box every month with full size products? That's my plan! Please stay tuned for my own personal "beauty box of the month" creation.
However this doesn't apply to things like the Vox Box or something like that because those are product testing boxes you get from a site or company for free.

A little bit about me

Ok so... I love make up, free samples, beauty products, food, and all kinds of stuff. This blog is pretty much a opinion blog for me to write and express my personal product reviews, sample reviews, make up tips, and all sorts of other stuff. Well a little bit about me....I am mother, a girlfriend, a sample queen, a make up and beauty queen! Any questions that you may have feel free to write me at miss.glam.queen88@gmail.com I would be happy to answer any questions. Please enjoy my future postings..... xoxo
