EOS lip balms have been very popular among the beauty community on Youtube. After hearing about these uniquely shaped lip balms, I decided I should try one for myself. Since the lemon drop scent also includes a SPF of 15, I hunted down this product to purchase for the summer. I actually had trouble finding this particular EOS balm and ended up ordering it at walmart.com since they were advertising free shipping!
EOS Lip Balm with SPF 15 - Lemon Drop
July 2011 Birchbox
This month's Birchbox featured an exclusive design by Cynthia Rowley. Outside of the cute box design, the amount of products stayed the same.
June Nail Polish Haul
During the month of June, I purchased four nail polish colors to add to my ever growing collection. One polish is from Sephora, two from the Wet n Wild line, and one from Jessie's Girl.
Escada - Taj Sunset
During one of my many Sephora online orders, I randomly chose the Escada Taj Sunset perfume sample during checkout. I was so impressed by the scent of this perfume that I used a coupon code during my next Sephora order to recieve a deluxe sample size of it!
Eco Emi - June 2011
Since I have been so impressed by the company Birchbox and the concept of getting samples in the mail each month, I decided to give Eco Emi a chance. Althought Eco Emi shares the same general idea, it does have its differences from Birchbox. Eco Emi has a monthly subscription of $15.00 and while you receive more samples than Birchbox, they are a considerably smaller size. My June box had a total of 15 samples in it, but most of them will only last for one to two uses. Is it worth $15.00? Well lets find out...
MAC Bloggers' Obsessions - Jealousy Wakes
If you have found your way to this blog, chances are you have read beauty posts by at least one of the nine bloggers who were asked by MAC to be apart of the Bloggers' Obsessions Collection. Amber Katz, Lesley Ellen Mirza, Lianne Farbes, Wendy Lam, Christine Mielke, Patrice Grell Yursik,Lily Nima, Karen Monterichard and Aileen De Los Angeles were given an opportunity that many of us would jump at the chance to do. MAC invited these girls to create their own eye shadow or lip gloss in appreciation for their reviews over the years! I am personally unfamiliar with most of these blogs, however I am a big fan of Christine Mielke who runs the beauty blog Temptalia. When Christine first announced that she was creating an eye shadow for MAC I was intrigued, pair that with the fact that she created it in my favorite color and I was just counting down the days until I could purchase it online!
