February Pop Sugar Must Have Box

3
COM
I signed up for Pop Sugar Must have because of the awesome coupon code they had going on of 50% off. It's expired now, or I would share it with you.


Items received:
1) Gorjana Brooks - Jewelry Roll $45
I'm seriously laughing at this. While it looks nice, it feels cheap. I wouldn't pay anywhere near $45 for one of these. I'm sorry, but no. Will I use this? Yes.
This also came with a $25 off coupon for anything on their site.
2) Nourish Organic - Pure Hydrating Argan Face Serum $23.99
I'm actually happy to get this in my box. The product is full sized, so I'll be able to see if I like it.
3) K Hall Designs - Peony Travel Candle $11 
I'm okay with this. I don't love it, I don't hate it, I'm indifferent.
4) ModelCo - Lip Pops Duo Lip Gloss and Lipstick $11.33
I'm a bit confused on this since I'm actually not able to purchase this product by itself. It's in a set on their website, but not sold individually. Other than that I love it! The gloss has a sweet scent, and the lipstick is in a nice color.
5) Sugarwish - Mini Red Cinnamon Hearts $6.25
This also came with a coupon for 20% off a Petite Sugarwish, code: "PSMHB"
It's a cute idea, but slightly overpriced in my personal opinion. I do realize that you get (4) 1/4th lb packages of candy, and the $25 includes shipping, but that's still a lot for candy.
6) NCLA - Rodeo Drive Royalty Nail Polish $16
Pretty!! Love it.
7) Dial - Vitamin Boost Body Wash $3
This was a special extra in the box. I'm okay with this, it smells good and I'll use it.

Total worth: $116.57
Paid: $19.97 (Normal price: $39.95/month)

Julep February Box

COM


This month I ordered the Modern Beauty box again because it featured gel eyeliner, which is my obsession these days. Here's what came in the box:
  • Ink Gel eyeliner in "Jet Blank"
  • Eyes Sheen liquid eyeshadow in "deep bronze shimmer"
  • Bombshell Polish "Love" (multi-color gold glitter)
  • Add-on: Bombshell Polish "Kristen" (dark green/gray microglitter/metallic)
More pictures of the content.


Here are swatches:



I'm loving "Kristen" but not so hot on "Love". It will most likely go in a group for giveaways.

And the liner + liquid shadow:


I loved the brush that came with the liner because it was heavier than my other liner brushes. The gel itself didn't wow me. I likely won't use it again until I run out of everything else.

In terms of the liquid eyeshadow, this stuff will maybe be used like a liner, but that's it. I can't see wearing it as shadow again because it doesn't sit well in/around my creases/wrinkles.

Ulta Brand Polishes $2

0
COM

I had an Ulta coupon that expired today for $5 off $15, so I headed to my local store and bought polish. Before the coupon, these babies were a mere $2 a bottle.

 In order of the swatches above from left to right, these are:
  • Sunset Bronze
  • Envy
  • Ultra Violet Femme
  • Dance Teal Dawn
  • Set the Nude

The purple and teal needed multiple coats for full coverage so they won't work well for stamping. The nude was a little on the thin side for one coat. I don't know how well they wear over time yet. No polish holds up well for me though, so I'm not a great yardstick when it comes to that.

Overall I'm fairly pleased with these for the price.

Finger Paints BoGo

Sally Beauty's sale this month is buy one get one free on Finger Paints. They're $5.29 (or $4.49 with the beauty card) per bottle. Two for $5.29? Count me in!

Here's what I got:
  • Sage It Ain't So
  • Neo Gothic Nude
  • Titian Tint
  • Degas Look At This

And swatches of them below:


My thumb has one coat of the Sage polish. That was the only one that needed multiple coats for full coverage. These are pretty decent polishes for the price. But you'll likely want a top coat.
