NOTD Maybelline Express Finish Limited Edition Spring Orchids Oh My!


I saw a display of the new Maybelline Spring colors and I had to have them. I bought Orchids Oh My, and Tulip Tango both limited edition. These polishes scream Spring and Summer. I know there's people that love Spring and while that is NOT my fav season I still long for those cold Wintery Nights that I wish at times would never end. The display had some pastel colors but I opted for these since they can also be worn in the summer as well.

I thought my favorite was going to be Tulip Tango but so far it's Orchids Oh My! Ok, I have not tried Tulip Tango but when I do I'll post a pic of that up as well. This is with two coats a top coat and Seche Vite. It applies extremly well without streaking. If you have a super steady hand (not like me) and you want this even lighter one coat would be super pretty. It has that jelly look that I really like for this polish. Let me know if you've tried any of the Spring Limited Edition Maybelline polishes.

Beauty Box By BeachMint


In the craze of beauty boxes I decided to try tow new ones. The first was this Beauty Box from BeachMint and the second one is the MyGlam beauty bag. I already receive Birchbox and I'm beginning to think that it's too much money for Birchbox for what I actually use from that box. I saw the review for MyGlam for the December box and I thought that was a pretty good deal because they received 2 full size items. I hope it continues that way.

Anyway, Beauty Box from BeachMint is a little different. First, I'm not sure if this is a monthly box, or every couple of months or a one time deal thing. I'll have to find out. Second, this box was $29.00 as oppose to the $10 boxes a month. Granted, that this box does have all full size items so the $29 is not too bad. I received it and to my surprise it Ok. According to the retail value it can be up to $164.00. I don't think it's that much but it is more than $29.00.

I received full sizes of Josie Maran a lipgloss, LA Fresh Healthy Hand Sanitizer wet wipes and Waterproof Makeup Remover Wipes (both are retail $16.00), Mama Mio O Mega Shower Cream, Weleda Wild Rose Moisture Cream (retail about $27.00), Go smile on the go Pen, Cotoure Colour Oil Treatment, Too Face Glamour Gloss, 1 Borba Skin Balance Aqua Less Crystalline, Small Nivea Creme with Rhianna on the cover, Per-fekt Brow Gel and what looks like a key chain with hair scrunchies.  

I really want to try the Rose Cream, the Brow Gel and the Josie Maran lip Gloss. I guess it's not a bad price but not sure if I would try it again.
