Hits & Misses: February 2012

This is going to be my hits and misses (if any) for all the sample boxes I received in February! I don't always have time to do a full review on every product so this will be a nice way to showcase them!

Hits:

Julep Maven Polish in Elizabeth (blue/bottom) - This was my favorite color of the 3 (2) I got last month, so gorgeous!!


Eye Rock Designer Liner - These were the item that I was kinda of eh about when I got my box and even though they're not my favorite and I wouldn't wear them on a regular basis, they were really fun to try!!


Mama Mio Boob Tube Bust & Neck Firmer - Silly, I know, but I actually really enjoyed this. I used this on my arms because well, who doesn't need help there? And I could see some great results. I have not tried it on my "breasts" or neck but I have heard it works great there too.


NYX Roll On Eye Shimmer in Nude - I really enjoyed this and have worn it several times since getting it!


Obliphica Hairkop Treatment - This made my hair feel great, however, I wouldn't purchase a full size. I just don't like hair care that much.


Amore Pacific Treatment Cleansing Foam - I LOVE THIS STUFF!!! Enough said.

Misses:

LA Fresh Eco-Beauty Waterproof Makeup Remover - These were TERRIBLE, incredibly oily!!


BENTA BERRY G-1 Moisturizing Face Cream - Another miss for BirchBox this month, made my skin really oiy. I have a review coming up of this next week!


LaRocca Skincare 24K Exfoliating Cleanser - Just wasn't impressed and every time I used it, I would get the little beads in my eye and it hurt. I've never had any problems with exfoliating beads before.

There were a lot of hits this month and that makes me excited!!

Hits & Misses: January 2012

I decided that I am going to be doing a "hits and misses" from each sample box each month. I am starting out a little later because I wanted to have some time to really try the products. This is going to be my hits and misses (if any) for all the sample boxes I received in January! I don't always have time to do a full review on every product so this will be a nice way to showcase them! I might not list all of the items that I received but just the ones that stuck out to me the most.

Hits:

Julep Maven Polish in Heather (top) - This product made me really excited to be a part of Julep Maven and I really loved the formula!


LaROCCA Multi-Active Lip Balm in Proseco - This was an awesome product for me in January and through February. It offered lots of moisture to the lips and also added a bit of color!


tila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Purple Tang - HUGE hit for my relationship with BirchBox. I love this liner and it has made me realize that I really love purple on my eyes!

Misses:

Julep Maven Polish in Blake (bottom) - This polish was streaky and clumpy. Wasn't a fan of the formula!


myface blingtone eye shadow in morococo - I didn't dislike this shadow, I just didn't prefer it. I felt like the formulation was just a little too glitter bomb for my needs.


Jouer Body Butter - This smelt amazing in the jar but once mixed with my chemistry, it smelt like charcoal. I wouldn't even wear it if it was super moisturizing.


Freeman Cucumber Facial Peel-Off Mask - I didn't like this at all. Everything from the smell, the texture and the feeling. I do have a review on this coming shortly!


Cleansing Conditioner by Wen - This made me feel like I washed my hair in Icy Hot.

So there we have it. I never realized that I was such a nit picky person or that there were more misses than hits.

Again, this doesn't list all the things that I got in that month, just the ones that I really am enjoying the most or would never purchase/use again. Enjoy!
