Birchbox!

Hello Adventerers! I'm a little aggravated right now, I took tons of pictures of my birchbox (ie. opening it, each layer, how it's packaged) and I just checked right now and about 50% of the photos are corrupted soooo just deal with me, haha. I just literally deleted all the photos off my camera about 20 minutes ago because I usually check cause my iPhoto has been known to do that. Butttt I didn't check these. :( But anyways August's birchbox was "Beauty School Supply Kit" the box it came in was yellow this month instead of the usual pink and I guess they just took the extra bits that they had from the previous year and threw them into a box and named it Beauty school...

So here are the contents of my box, this was rumored to be one of the better boxes which I guess I'm glad about cause if you've been watching my youtube video's you'd know I kind of get the short end of the stick a bit. The items I got were the shick razor, a pixie lip color, a stretch silkening creme which is actually for your hair, a little sample of yu-be cream, and a sample of viva la juicy la flour--which in my opinion has the cutest bottle ever! The La Fleur doesn't really smell different to me because I own the full size of the regular viva la juicy and so I can say that. 

Overall I'm ehh about the box. I don't really expect much from Birchbox any more though. I'm debating about canceling it to be honest. What do you think? Should I cancel it? or no? Did you cancel your subscription? if so, why? if not, are you thinking about it?

August Wishlist!

Hey Adventurers I know I'm a day early, but I got plans for August and I want to get into it already! :) So today is my monthly wish list!

1. Urban Decay

Naked Skin Weightless Ultra Definition Liquid Makeup

I want to try this foundation because 1. It's new 2. It's Urban Decay. and 3. It's name is 'weightless' Uhh, hello? Exciting! The description of this is:

A weightless and virtually invisible liquid foundation that a luminous, demi-matte finish.

Description alone makes me want to try it. I'm a sucker for these types of things. New products always 

get me intrigued.

2. NARS

Foreplay

I'm still lusting over NARS Orgasm blush from last month--I didn't buy it, and then I saw this along with it last month. It's a new--well, not THAT new-- product that deconstructs the infamous Orgasm blush. With one pink square, one red square 'yellow' like shade that contains the shimmer that Orgasm does and then Orgasm in the corner. I've heard that this palette is a lot smaller than one would think. but I just want it so BAD! I don't know if it's going to be worth the price tag though, BUT I have always liked NARS blushes so I just might give in and buy it. I'm just thinking, do I really need it?! It has a $49 price tag but I regret not buying the danmari palette and I'm thinking I'll regret not buying this one as well. Decisions decisions!

3. LORAC

PRO Palette

This palette caught my eye because of how beautifully simple it is. The color names aren't fancy and the colors are true colors, some shimmer colors, some matte, it seems like an extremely good palette to have a 16 colors for $42 doesn't seem that bad to me. I just have to think of how much I'd actually use it. But I would seriously love this thing. Seems like it would be the perfect thing to take traveling, it has it's neutrals, and it's pops of colors. I think I just convinced myself I need to get it.... 

4. Bare Escentuals 

Pure Transformation Night Treatment

This product intrigues me. It's a powder you put on at night before you go to bed and it's supposed to improve your skin. The price tag is $60 but I know that I can get it at the NEX for $48. I'm going to have to do my research before I actually decide if I'm going to get it or not. It comes in three colors, Clear, light, and medium. I would probably get the clear because in my mind there is less of a chance of it transferring to the pillow if it's 'clear'. This just intrigues me so much, because I've never heard of anything like it. Again, I'm just not sure it's worth the price tag. 

Those are all of my items for this month! What are some of the items you're lusting over?
