My first BeautyArmy kit!

So I finally got my much anticipated first BeautyArmy kit today! For those of you who have not heard of BeautyArmy it is a monthly subscription beauty sampling service , much like Birchbox, only its 12 dollars a month where BB is 10 and unlike BB with BeautyArmy you fill out a beauty profile and they give you samples to choose from! Its up to 6 deluxe sized samples and you pick the ones you want to try. BA launched on Jan 1st and besides some unhappy folks with the meltdown of their site on launch date they seem to have some very happy customers and great customer service. Dont get me wrong I looooove my Birchboxes but I do love picking my own samples especially since the last few Birchboxes were a little disappointing. So I am really excited to be trying BeautyArmy!

I love the box....Its the cutest thing ever!

The thing I am most excited to try is the Sheaterra Organics Rose Hips Black Soap.....It says it is a deep pore facial soap and micro-dermabrasion in a bottle! It smells a little funny and feels a bit well....weird but I have read great reviews about it and I am anxious to try it out!
The next thing is myface cosmetics and it is an eyeshadow Blingtone in the color gilt-y... The color swatched nicely and it is FULL SIZED! The retail on this eyeshadow alone is 20 dollars on their website.
So most of us have heard of JOICO In fact it was one of the few brands on the size I knew well. This sample is the K-Pak Revitaluxe..It seems to be a hair mask of sorts..I have always liked Joico products and I am sure this will be no exception, since my hair is so nappy maybe it will help!

next is a Lift Lab eye cream...small sample but I have read good things about the brand and since my eyes are small it is enough to try for maybe a week . That should be enough to decide if it works or not.

Now on to the StriVectin-EV this one is a brightening serm....I have tried some of the StriVectin products in the passed and although some people think it is a miracle treatment I myself wasnt to impressed. I mean for me the results were just ok. But I havent tried this one and maybe its great stuff! the retail on this stuff is up there so it will have to make my skin look 16 again for me to buy it! lol (fingers crossed)!

And on the Chella eye mask kit! I got this exact one in my NewBeauty Test tube...I used it then and it did make my eyes feel refreshed. I liked it pretty good. I did notice on my BA sample page I was supposte to get an eye cream sample with the kit but I did not. Booo I wanted to try the eye cream. Anyway it seems well worth the 12 bucks. And I dont know how good you could see the picks but the box that they send it in is simply adorable!

So even though I am a total beauty junkie It hit me the other night while surfing the web in search of my next big beauty find that I do not even own 1 MAC product! I couldnt beleive it ! I mean I have every other product known to man and MAC is a very popular brand. So I surfed the web and ebay  and realized even though I would like to have atleast a few eye colors I am overwhelmed by the selection. So I was wondering ...are there any MAC junkies out there who could share some of their favorite colors? And what exactly is the difference between the shadows and the pigment colors? They have some very pretty colors I am just not sure I am brave enough to wear some of the really boulder colors...Any thoughts?

My Jan 2012 BirchBox

Whoop Whoop got my BirchBox today! I always look forward to my BirchBoxes.....Not to thrilled with this one though.  
I got box 12....it contained Archipelago Pomergranate soap, Smells great but I am not a barsoap person. 2. ORIGINS #1 cleanser (checks and Balance Frothy Face Wash)...Hummmmm idk about this I am willing to try though.3. Stila smudge stick waterproof eyeliner in Lionfish its a bronzy shimmer and altouugh I have tons of eyeliners I think this color is pretty. 4. LARABAR blueberry muffin snack bar.. I tried the choc. chip cookie dough and hated it But this wasnt that bad. oh btw the Stila eyeliner was fullsized which is awsome! I love the BB concept I feel they are missing out on alot of sales though because they seem not to go by the beauty profile that is filled out...ex. I marked in my beauty profile I would be most likely to splurge on hair care and have only received hair caare product once in 7 months, although others have had it in their boxes...for 10 bucks a month though its pretty cool and I do get some new things I have really enjoyed.I have just signed up for Beauty Army and Myglam....Myglam looks great and I am excited to see what my first box will contain in Feb.  ohhhh I almost forgot the Juicy sample...I have a full size already..lol It smells good though.

New beauty TestTube cont

I also got this in my NBTT Its the Miracle Skin Transformer. I have been seeing this at Sephora and even though I am on a no by for awhile I have been wanting to try this soooooo bad! So excited I got it! Its supposte to be like a moisturizer spf and primer in 1....It comes in several different shades and this is the second day I have used it and I really like it. I do not even use foundation with this. Its a really light natural look! So when I am done with my no buy I will be purchasing the full size of this I do beleive!

My fake snake Venom!!!!!!!!

Ok so I got this In my New Beauty TestTube (which btw I loooooove getting)...I am very curious to try this and interested to see how it works. It is by Immunocologie I have never heard of this brand before but the paper says they have used ingredients that mimic snake Venom!!!!! Like I said I am very curious and I will be posting my thoughts on this. Btw I got a sample size but a full size retails for 275!
