Top Box Rachh Loves Collaboration!

Sooooooo,

If you haven't heard of Top Box, check them out HERE!

It's basically a monthly subscription service of travel sized makeup items. Yes, there are many of these kinds of things going around, but this one is Canadian! It's only $12/month! Ipsy is $10USD, which, depending on the exchange rate, can add up in CAD after a while.

I ordered this on a whim after seeing Rachh Loves' video talking about this, and since she's Canadian, I figured what the hell. This was $19CAD, and this is everything I got in the package.



I was able to choose the shade of NYX Butter Gloss I wanted, as well as which duo of Essie nail polish I wanted. So I chose shades of everything I didn't already own. What else came in the box was a Cake Beauty everything balm (which I had just gotten at Genbeauty, and I LOVE, so I'm totally ok with it), a travel size of Glam Glow Brightening Treatment, and a travel size Elizabeth Arden Grand Entrance Mascara.

Being that there is only 1 full sized product in here, I honestly don't feel like it was worth it. Especially considering I had just come back from Genbeauty where I received countless travel and full sized mascaras as well as the exact same Glam Glow mask. I'm not too huge a fan of the formula of Essie nail polishes, and I'm probably going to sparsely wear the Butter Gloss. I'm not too thrilled altogether, so I'll probably include a couple of these items in a giveaway at some point.

I very much enjoy Rachel's channel and her personality and everything. I just would think a little harder next time something like this comes up to figure out whether or not it's worth getting.

And that's my opinion :)

Thank you so much for reading!

I'll talk to you soon!!!

May 2016 Beauty Favourites!!

Hellooooo!

And Happy June!!!

Holy shit this year is almost half over. WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?!?

This month flew by!! With working, and Mother's Day, then Genbeauty, then more work, then my sister's birthday. It seriously kills me how busy I can get. I'm thankful for it, though. Mostly.

Jumping in to my May 2016 beauty favourites!

I've been LOVING using white nail polish under bright colours to make them POP! The China Glaze White on White has been my go to for that purpose. I just picked up OPI Alpine Snow because my Cosmoprof didn't have the China Glaze one.


And speaking of putting white polish under bright polishes, I've also been LIVING for the China Glaze shades Turned Up Turquoise and Flip Flop Fantasy.

This Aqua XL liner by Make Up For Ever has been my go-to waterline liner since I got it at Genbeauty. It's matte, it lasts legit FOREVER, and it's stupid pigmented.

I got this NYC Smooth Skin Loose Face Powder because of Ashley, and I should really message her and thank her for it. I got this at Walmart because she raved about it, and it's so inexpensive for the job it does. I've been debating getting the Laura Mercier translucent powder for months, but I'm so happy with this that I don't feel like I need it anymore.

For my lips, this Cake Beauty delectable everything balm has been the best thing since Vaseline. Apparently it has like 21 uses, but I've only put it on my lips. It's a tiny thing, but it will last me quite a while. It's soft, moisturizing, unscented, and glossy. It's honestly awesome.

My glow this month has been brought to you by Anastasia Beverly Hills. I got the Glow Kit in Gleam during the VIB Sale from Sephora a couple months ago, and I've been using it almost every day since. I love to layer Starburst and Crushed Pearl on the tops of my cheekbones. I like to put Hard Candy on the apples of my cheeks as a glowy blush, and since I'm so fair, I didn't think I would have a use for the Mimosa shade, but I've been using it as an eyeshadow! And during the summer I'm sure I'll be able to put it on my shoulders to add a little somethin somethin ;)

Aaaaaaaaaaaand that's it!!

Thank you so much for reading! I hope your June is amazing!!!

Byeeeee :):)
