This bag was also hit and miss with the products for me, but that is how Ipsy is. It is for you to try new things and in that you might not like them. Lets take a look at what I got.

First is the Nuxe gentle exfoliating gel. It is nice to get products like this and I am going to use it.

Next is Altchek MD eye gel pads. I will give this a try I have never used a product like this and I think it could help me with my dark circles.

Next is the IT cosmetics Brow Power Universal eyebrow pencil. I do not do my brows but the brand is great and I might try it out.

Next product I am pretty excited about using is the tre'StiQue mini eyeshadow crayon. This crayon is cutely packaged and the product is easy to use.

Last thing has me the most excited to try. The Smashbox Photo Finished Foundation Primer. I have been wanting to try this and it is like Ipsy read my mind.

This is why I love Boxycharm another great month of products. Let us just dig into this box.

First is the Beauty Crop Lighting Crew Highlighting Cream valued at $16. Wow that is a mouthful but it is so lovely and worth it. It is a great cream and beautiful highlight.

Next is ncLA Nail Lacquer valued at $16. This is in the nudes line. So pretty and of course going to my sister.

Next is the Doucce Click Click Lipstick valued at $24. This lipstick is not my favorite the smell is a little off but I will try it out and at least give it a try.

Next is Bellapierre Cosmetics Kabuki Brush valued at $29.99. This brush is well made and so soft. I think I will be using this for finishing powder.

Lastly is the biggest ticket item in the box...yea the biggest....Eslor Chlorophyll Lifting Mask valued at $38. I think at my age I might not need this but I am going to give it a try anyways.

This month's Beauty Box 5 is a hit and miss for me. Let us get into this box.

First off is the Simple Skincare Micellar Cleansing Water. I do not think that this sample is much of anything but I will give it a try. The good thing about this is the $2 coupon with it.

Next is the Herbal Essences body wash. This is a travel size and smells great, but I will be gifting this because I have some already.

The last sample is what I love the most about this box. The Urban Decay Perversion Mascara. I am very happy to get mascara and now I get to try this.

First full size is the Nails Inc. nail polish valued at $9.50. Lovely and fun color my sister was very happy to get this.

Lastly is the LOL Rotational eye shadow palette valued at $3. This palette surprised me with how pigmented it is. I am sure I could come up with several looks with this.

Wow this month for Lip Monthly has to be my favorite. It has a couple of multi-tasking products. So lets get into this bag.

First off let's start with the MMU it is JCat eyeshadow valued at $2.99. It is a cute highlight shade or all over.

Next is a Be a Bombshell lipstick in Hollywood valued at $14. This lipsticks is a great color and the packaging kind of reminds me of some Mac lipsticks.

Next is a So Susan Colour Hybrid valued at $17.50. This is one of the multi-tasking products. I swatched it and it stained my hand all day. Very excited for this one.

Lastly is a Jelly Pong Pong Paradise Pigment valued at $19.95. This is more like a lip balm but I am thinking you can also use this on your cheeks.

This bag is worth $54.44 well over the $10 I paid and has to be my favorite so far.

This is going to be a quick short post about the site totalbeauty.com I recently made a purchase of some of there collection grab bags. They are having a sale for 2 of their collections for $30 (that is $10 off) I could not help myself. I got the Bombshall grab bag, the Must Haves grab bag and finally the Total Beauty "Spice" stocking stuffer.

Let us first start off with the idea of a grab bag. I love this idea I do like to know what I am getting and I like to get surprised. So the little hints make you want to get these bags. Or that is just me.

I will start with the stocking stuffer bag. Sadly I knew what was going to be in it that is why I got the "spice" one. It was the only one I was not surprised about. I got 5 items in it. A full size NYX Glam Lip Gloss. A full size Too Faced Lip Insurance (which is why I got this set), deluxe size EvolvH shampoo and conditioner, and finally a sample size of Juara Candlenut Body creme. This set is well worth the $7.99 price tag. The value is at $36 for the products

Next is the Must-Haves grab bag. I got this because it is a "must-have". Not sure why I was sold on that but I was and that is ok I am happy with it. First off I was hoping for more makeup products but this set has some good products that I am excited to try. It came with 4 full size products, a Dove go sleeveless anti-perspirant deodrant, a NYX roll on shimmer in Blue, a Neutrogena naturals lip balm, and a Lollies hair tie. Out of all those I am only disappointed in the hair tie. The set also included some interesting samples, a LashFood (it is to help you lashes grow), a Go Smile teeth whitening gel (the tube is good for a week), and finally an other Juara Candlenut body creme. This set is not what I was thinking but I am glad I did buy it. The value is over $65.

The last grab bag I got was the Bombshell grab bag. Again I was hoping for more makeup but I am pretty happy with the products I got. There is 4 full size products, Another Dove go sleeveless deodrant, a Gabriel nail & cuticle conditioner, a Semi DiLino Cristalli Liquidi Illuminating Serum, and a NYX color lip balm. Also the samples are a Honest Company face & body lotion, a Nelson 7 in 1 non-foaming shampoo, a Dove pure care dry oil, 3 Nelson moisture healing masks in different scents (rosemary mint, pomegranate, and coconut), And lastly I got a Gleam by Melanie Mills body radiance. I am thinking this is a primer lol I do not even know. The value of the set is over $60.

All in all I am very happy with Total Beauty and their grab bags. If you have a chance and find a great sale I would say take the chance.

So there was a big sale going on eyeslipsface.com . I could not pass up. So I got me some of their limited edition holiday sets. I already got as a gift their elf lips set. Which I also posted a few posts back on holiday lip sets. But the rest in this haul was all from the site.

This post is for the lip lovers like me. I have only a few holiday lip sets I am sure there is much more but here is a few in many price ranges and product types.

First I will start with the Elf 10 piece lip set. It comes with 5 lipsticks and 5 lip glosses.I am sure you can buy all of them on the website one at a time but this is a great set for all of them. This set is $10 and can be given as one gift or as many stocking stuffers. The set is set up with the lipstick next to a matching gloss. So you can give them away like that or you may gift them to the lipstick and lip gloss lovers respectively.

Hello Fandom Alliance. Princess Mimi here with some of my geekiness. First off I want to say that this blog is not for makeup but some of my posts will be about it. I am a big fan of makeup and I would love to share my finds with you. And the guys let me do whatever I want so yea it is happening.

So let us get to it. Wal-Mart has a beauty sample box. Oh and it is only $5. Yea that is right only $5. That is for everything. It is a seasonal subscription so you will only get it 4 times a year. And if you are interested in the box just click the link. Ok now lets get to the goodies.

Let us first talk about the small samples. I got a Maybelline New York Dream Wonder Powder sample and coupon. It might be a little dark but with the $1 coupon attached it is good. Coupons on samples like this make the samples with the price of the coupon.

Next small sample is a Nivea Cocoa Butter body lotion with a $1 coupon. It is nice to have something around to use like this and the coupon is great.

Next is some bigger size samples. I got L'oreal Paris OleoTherapy shampoo and conditioner. For a full size of each is $6.99 and these samples are 1/3 that size making them worth $2.30ish a piece. Almost the price of the box.

Then I got a Jergens BB Body. I have gotten it before in other boxes. The sample value is about $1.75.

I am very excited to try the Olay Fresh effects wipes. I love trying new wipes so I think I will putting these in my purse. The sample value is about $1.35.

Last thing in my box is the only full size item but a goodie. It is a Maybelline Colorsensational lipstick in Maple Kiss. The value of this lipstick on Ulta is $7.49, we were not able to find this shade. Not sure if it is a special shade or just not available yet.

The total value of the box including the coupons is $17.19. Not bad for only $5. Check out and if you are interested click the link above and sign up.
