I have to admit, I am quite in love with this look!! I actually put on lashes, which I hardly ever do (mainly because I suck at it)!

Here we go, this is going to be quite pic heavy!

13. Ardell Fashion Lashes in 105

FACE:
I don't typically wear stuff on my face so that's probably why it doesn't look terrific, just trying to use some stuff :)
15. Boo-Boo Cover-Up from Beauty Army January.

LIPS:
17. Tarte LipSurgence in Lucky fom BirchBox Teen Vogue (eh, it's not my fave).
18. Franche Lip Luscious from March Look Bag.

My phone camera kinda sucks, but you get the idea :)









And someone likes to sit and watch me, maybe hes learning :)



Again, LOVE this look!! The shadow shields hurt to take off though, should definitely make them less sticky next time!

TheLookBag March 2012

March TheLookBag was going to be a make it or break it for me and unfortunately, I think it is going to be a break it!

Here is what I go in my box(bag):


Lets go through each individual item:

Lady Strawberry Mirror Skin Soap - $0.??

This doesn't have any information with it on where it's from, who it's from apart from "Lady Strawberry" or what the size is. It smells just like a soap I get from GGG and I am not really thrilled with GGG right now so I am putting this in the March giveaway. This isn't saying that I don't like the soap cause it smells divine, I just don't need 100 more soaps!

Damone Roberts Brow Highlighter in Bling Bling - $20.00

When I saw this, I thought it was a brow gel and I got really excited because I need one of those. Alas, it's a brown highlighter. It's really pretty swatched though. And btw, I saw Damone at The MakeUp Show LA and he is GORGEOUS in real life. Much prettier than any of his pictures. And brows like whoa!!

Shea Terra Rose Hips Black Soap Deep Pore Face Wash and Mask - $4.50

This is something that everyone was getting in their Beauty Army boxes and I could never get the darn thing to show up for me so I bought the full size during a sale. Now of course, I get a sample of it. I don't regret getting the full size cause this is AWESOME but now one of you can try it too!! I love using this stuff as a mask, I do it 1-2 times a week and it makes my face so soft! March giveaway item!

Franche Lip Luscious - $0.??

This doesn't have a size on it or anything but it is SO pretty!! I just tried it and the color is gorgeous but it tastes incredibly chemically. The color says its Ice Crystal but I don't see it on the website. Also, there isn't any information on the tube itself so if I got rid of the packaging, I would never know where it was from (unless of course you have a blog you can check back to).

Frownies Facial Patches - $0.??

I.. don't even know. I am so confused as to what this is or how to use it or how much it is. The CEO is gorgeous though!

The breakdown:
Bag: TheLookBag February 2012
Price: $10.00
Monetary Value: $24.50
Keeping subscription?: No.

Price does not include most of the items I received because they're either not marked, not priced or not even available. This subscription is just sort of a mish mosh of items and it's not really something I am looking for so I unsubscribed :(

TheLookBag February 2012

And another beauty sample box hits the fans. This one is TheLookBag which is put on by TheLookStore, which I had never heard about until this bag. This is the second "bag" they have had, I wasn't able to get in on the first one as I didn't know about it.

By becoming a member, for $10 a month you will receive an assortment of 5 different high-end beauty samples from THE LOOK STORE.com in a luxurious reusable bag.

You will receive makeup, skincare, fragrance, body or hair care samples from both well-known, and emerging specialty brands.

Choose between monthly, quarterly or yearly subscription plans, and fill out a beauty profile to get products that were picked especially for you by Celebrity Beauty Therapist and Eyebrow King, Damone Roberts.

TheLookBag is then shipped out free to you in the first two weeks of every month.

By joining TheLookBag you will enjoy a 20% discount off of every purchase of any product on THE LOOK STORE.com.

THE LOOK STORE.com’s online magazine and videos has expert tips, tricks, and tutorials to help you get the most out of products and stay on top of the trends!

I wouldn't go as far as saying this is a luxurious reusable bag as it is just an organza bag you can get on ebay for about a buck but maybe they're planning to do that in the future?

What I liked about this company is that they sent it priority mail. I find that with my other boxes (BirchBox, CraveBox, MyGlam), it takes FOREVER to get to me because they use the slowest possible service ever, which is more of a money maker for them but I would love my bag sooner than later.

Here is what I go in my box(bag):


Lets go through each individual item:

LaLicious Body Butter "Sugar Reef" - $0.83

This is a really weird way to package a cream product sample, but that is neither here nor there. I can't wait to try this. It's a fairly large sample so I should be able to get 2-3 uses out of it!

Obliphica Hairkop Treatment - $5.52

I don't use hair masks on the regular but always enjoy getting them in boxes and this is definitely something I will try. I doubt I would buy a full size but they're like face masks, they're always fun to do!

Jus D'Amour Perfume - $??

This smells really good, like vanilla, mmm. My sample is really weird though, it's not a liquid like normal perfumes, it looks almost like a gel.

S.S. Soap Co Gingerbread Caffeinated Soap - $0.72

I am not much of a fan of gingerbread so I am going to keep this for the giveaway!

Shadow Shields - $0.53

This is super fun (I know, I am crazy), you put these under your eyes to avoid fall out. This was a bonus product and I think its cool!!

Cailyn Gel Eye Liner & 2 Shadows - $31.80

I am excited for this, I love gel liner. It looks really cool. The price of the shadows/glitter I based off a 6 stacker they have, this is a 2 and I am guessing they work well with the liner!

The breakdown:
Bag: TheLookBag February 2012
Price: $10.00
Monetary Value: $39.40
Keeping subscription?: Yes!

This service seems promising and I can't wait to see what they come out with in the near future. Anyone else find these services to be addicting!?
