glam bag for march:

I have to say the past 2 months I have pretty disappointed in the glam bag products but I guess thats how it works... first month you get really nice stuff and after that just fillers....
I'm still deciding if I am going to cancel my glam bag for next month....

what i got this month:

1. Derm store care package- eh... that stuff really doesn't excite me too much
2. foundation elements- another ehh...
3. kera color enhancing leave  in treatment-this might be useful but we will see i guess
4. glam eyeshadow brush and case- the one product i did like this month, the brush works well but still disappointed that this is the only thing i really liked

***For this eye look I followed MissyCassieB's  smoked golden cranberries tutorial. What i love about this look is you can recreate this eye with whatever gold and red/purple eye shadows that you might have. I followed the products she used for the most part but used my too faced glitter instead. I also chose to make my liner a little bit thicker without the winged edge. It looks pretty both ways. Here's the link if anyone would like to check it out***

lips- mac's lip liner in Beurre followed by mac's lipstick in midimauve with  benefits lipgloss in "who are you wearing" (any pink gloss will do just to brighten up the lips a little)

for my hair today I wanted to switch it up and get my hair up and off my face so I chose to do Lilith Moon's tuck roll. I love watching her videos and even though I have tried many of her hairstyles before, this is the first one I have successfully completed. It doesn't look as nice as the one  she does it in her video but it works lol. Yes, hairstyling is my weakness.  Here is the link if anyone is interested. I thought it was a cute look for the holidays, not too hard if I can do it lol.

OOTD: shirt- target; skirt: forever21; heels: target

So my birchbox finally came in! As soon as I have time to really use the products I can update on how well everything works. I will say though that I tried the recharge eboost since I have already started with the runny nose and congestion (just one Christmas i would like to not be sick lol) and it was kinda yucky to be honest. I drank most of it but could not force myself to drink the whole thing. I hope it works but I don't think I will ever be buying that. My friend Alex tried on the Joer lipgloss last night and it looked really cute on her so I'm excited about that product. Everything else I'm not sure about yet but I will keep you updated on how the products turn out.

My friend Alex also brought me over a cute little present last night which I had to share because I am so excited about it......


Yes! It's a gold bics band! I was sooo happy to get this because they have been sold out of many of them for a while so i was surprised she could find this one. And our gym at the apartment just reopened (they were remodeling it),  so perfect timing :) I wear them everyday regardless if I work out or not so I am really excited about that.


I did sign up for the new  myglam bag and I can't wait till next month to see what I get. If you guys have not checked it out yet it's pretty much like birchbox but mostly makeup products and they give some full size, thats right full size products ( urban decay eyeshadows etc.)! I would suggest signing up to be on their email list because when the monthly bags come in they sell out within the day (that is how popular they are). 
I can't wait to see what January's bag will have in it. Here's the picture they sent me of what the bag would look like:




I'm not sure yet if I am going to keep birchbox. They do need to step it up though cause myglam bag is making them look reallly bad.  Here's a video review on myglam bag by bentley blonde:
