Salem Baking Co. Chocolate Moravian Cookies $5

These are kind of like ‘diet’ cookies because they are so thin and crisp. Seven of these cookies are 130 calories. These cookies are super yummy and they are so rich and chocolate-y for such a thin cookie.

Shotwell Candy Co. Tennessee Toffee $6

I thought this was caramel at first so I was excited to see that it was toffee instead. As always when it comes to toffee, I am a fan. Not too buttery and not too sweet.

Seattle Chocolates in Sea Salt Caramel and Pink Bubbly

Literally was beyond excited to see Seattle Chocolates in this box. I was introduced to Seattle Chocolates through Treatise and I have become a huge fan of their chocolate bars! These bars are Gluten-Free, Non GMO, All Natural and are made with cocoa butter and coconut oil! Saying I’m obsessed with these bars are probably an understatement. I’ve already looked at their gifts section for party favors for my wedding in the future.

This was officially my last box of treatise. I’m really happy that I got my seattle bars this month. What did you think of this months box?

DryBar Sake Bomb Shampoo & Conditioner – Product Review

Drybar Sake Bomb Shampoo & Conditioner $24 each

img-thing fc64324240b9898bb4f2fe7585cc4a70

I’ve been wanting to try any of the Drybar products for the longest time now. I absolutely love their packaging and super cute names of all of their products! I’m so excited that I finally have the chance to review their shampoo & conditioner.

This product is available at:

logo_sephora1 ba18f354bbf297f76cd4fb3330de68bfefc147bc

While I was using these products in the shower I had a few complaints. I didn’t like the smell of either of the products, I didn’t like the formula, and I didn’t like the way it didn’t really lather. But once I got out of the shower and towel dried my hair I could already tell a difference. My hair was super soft and after I blow dried my hair I saw less frizz and I actually liked the scent of my hair once it was dried.

I know my review even has me confused. I don’t know if I like it or dislike it. All I know is that I would definitely not pay $24 each for a shampoo and conditioner that I didn’t 100% love. I would love to try out the Texas Tea shampoo and conditioner!

Nars Satin Lip Pencil in Rikugien – Product Review

Nars Satin Lip Pencil in Rikugien $26

4 Stars on  tumblr_static_influenster_logo

0607845092056

I’m such a big fan of Nars. I’m currently using two of their blushes and three of their lip pencils!  I absolutely love the color of this lip pencil and I hope it looks good with my skin coloring. Nars makes really high quality make up and gorgeous colors, with some dirty names.

This product is available at:

logo_sephora1amazon  ba18f354bbf297f76cd4fb3330de68bfefc147bc

The color did not look as good on me as I hoped. I kind of just blended in with my natural color so it didn’t look like I was wearing much of any lip color. I’m upset because I thought it would have been more of a pinky color on my lips and I’ve trying to find the perfect pink for spring but they all kind of just blend in with my natural lip color.

0607845092056

I will continue to wear this color as a base color for layering lipsticks or even for a nice ombre lip. I’m officially still on the hunt for the perfect spring lipstick!

Peter Thomas Roth Irish Moor Mud Purifying Black Mask – Product Review

Peter Thomas Roth Irish Moor Mud Purifying Black Mask $58

Peter Thomas Roth Irish Moor Mud Purifying Black Mask $107 7 Purifying masks for smaller pores.png

I have been on the hunt for a great mud mask for a while now. I have been looking for one that minimizes my pores and leaves me skin looking bright. I’m really hopeful about this face mask .

This product is available at:

logo_sephora1 amazon --un2PdCU

* On sale at Amazon for $35.95 *

I applied the mask to a just-washed clean face and let it stay on for 10 minutes. It went on creamy and thick, and felt a little cooling. It felt a little tingly in the beginning but then it stopped after a couple of minutes. I was surprised how dark it was on my face. The mask was literally black on my face. I thought it would have been a little diluted but its dark.

peter-thomas-roth-ptr-irish-moor-mud-purifying-black-mask-review-e1423745871715.jpg

After 10 minutes the mask never became hard and dry like I’m usually used to with face masks. I washed the mask off with warm water and it had a very creamy-oily feeling to it with a cooling effect. After it was all washed off I splashed cold water on my face to close my pores. I was honestly shocked with how minimized my pores were. I would say 90% of my face looked pore free. Thats a lot better than I was expecting from this face mask. Plus my face is super soft. I definitely had a good experience with this brand and I will continue to look into the brand.

Victoria Secret Coconut Milk Hydrating Body Lotion $18

I thought it was weird that Popsugar used Victoria Secrets tissue paper this month for the box. It makes sense that they are promoting some of their products in this months box. I was actually just flipping through their brand new catalog and I saw this new lotion and I was thinking that I would definitely check it out next time I found my self at Victoria Secret. So I’m glad I got it in this box! I has a lightweight formula and smells like a tropical vacation. I love anything coconut so this was an absolute win for me.  You can find yours on eBay.

Victoria Secret Sport Socks $5

I find it odd that this particular sock is nowhere to be found on their site. It seems like it would be a staple. I’m always happy to get more socks especially from a trusted brand like VS. You can get yours on eBay.

Victoria Secret Reward Card $20

I love how they included a reward card for $20. It works like a gift card and applies to anything. I’m so excited to use it on a new bathing suit for an upcoming vacation! You can find it on eBay.

Foodstirs Heart Sugar Cookie Mix $12

The link provided is a little different then what I was given but it was the closet to what they had on their site. I love how cute this little set is. I usually prefer to bake cookies from scratch but I will try it out. They also included a 50% off any of their baking subscription kits. They all look so good I don’t know which one I’m going to go with. You can find this for less on eBay.

The Fringe Hello Beautiful Glass Tray $14

I feel like we already got this tray not too long ago. Am I right? I wouldn’t mind receiving trays like this if they mixed up the design of them a little bit more but I feel like we just keep receiving the same exact catch all tray over and over. You can find this for less on eBay.

Beauty Counter Cleansing Balm $50

I didn’t receive the wash cloth that goes along with this item. I believe its an essential part of this cleansing balm. I have emailed Popsugar asking for a replacement and I’m sure they will send it to me ASAP. Unfortunately missing items have happened to me before, but their customer service is really great at sending out the products right away. This balm has a super fruity smell and it goes on really light weight. You can find yours for less on eBay.

Tilo Heart Scarf $125

Tilo makes such gorgeous colorful scarf. I’m so bored with getting another gray scarf. I would love to have gotten any other scarf from their new collection. This Scarf is super soft and layers really well though. I’m always happy to add another accessory to my wardrobe. Add it to yours for less from eBay.

Jewelry Storm Endless Arrow Ring $28

I really adore how delicate this ring is and how it matches the arrow necklace we got last year. Such a super cute accessory, I’m really happy to have this in my collection. This ring is a 6, so its a little small for me but luckily it is adjustable They also included a 30% off coupon. You can get yours at eBay.

Bite Beauty Smashed Agave Lip Mask – Product Review

Bite Beauty Smashed Agave Lip Mask $26

4.5 Stars on tumblr_static_influenster_logo

Unknown

I have tried Bite lip products before, but I never knew they had lip masks. I was so happy when I found out about these and couldn’t wait to try it out!

This product is available at:

logo_sephora1

I wish there were a better way to apply this other than using my fingers. The mask feels exactly like a super sticky lip gloss and I really would prefer not to use my fingers to apply it to my lips. my fingers still have that sticky feeling no matter how much you wash them. I started feeling a tingly sensation on my lips and having them feel a little bit plumper within a few minutes of having the mask on.

bite-agave-lip-mask-smashed-3-wm.jpg

After about ten minutes I stopped feeling a tingly sensation on my lips and the mask looked sort of melted in to my lips. I took that as a sign to wash my lips. I used warm water and my hands to remove the mask from lips and they felt really smooth but still a little sticky. I used a lip scrub to help minimize that sticky feeling. My lips were left really smooth and had a gorgeous red tint to them! I will definitely be using this product again right before valentines day!

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Hydra Firm Sleeping Cream – Product Review

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Hydra Firm Sleeping Cream $38

hwthumb.asp.jpeg

I have tried the First Aid Repair Cream before and I wasn’t a huge fan. I thought it was super greasy and just sat on my skin and did not absorb at all. But I’m excited and hopeful for this sleeping cream.

This product is available at:

sephora1 amazon --un2PdCU

This sleeping cream was still thick like the repair cream was but it doesn’t feel as heavy on my skin and did eventually absorb.

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Hydra-Firm Sleeping Cream

The next day my skin looked super greasy and didn’t look hydrated at all. But after I washed my face my skin was super smooth. It wasn’t as hydrated as I would have liked but my skin did look a little bit brighter. I’m seeing a trend from this brand that I’m not particularly fond of. I’m not sure if I would continue to use this brand, I think First Aid Beauty’s line is too heavy for my skin.
