Every month I am excited when my Allure Beauty Box arrives at my door. It is a little box that always has something or more that I want to try. This is just one of seven makeup/beauty subscription boxes that I happily pay for each month!

This month by box included six different new products to try. While most of the products in the box are sample size, there are also full size products that are included too! Here is what I received in this months box.

StarSkin 2-Step Oil Sheet Mask – This is a nourishing and brightening 2-step oil mask with 100% camellia oil. I bet this would be great to use when my skin starts feeling dry.

Belif Aqua Bomb Aloe Vera  – Built on the foundation of the bestselling Aqua bomb moisturizer, The true cream – aqua bomb aloe vera contains the same burst of explosive hydration with the addition of Aloe Vera. Since I love the Aqua bomb moisturizer I am excited to try this one.

Purlisse Watermelon Charcoal Purifying Cleanser (Full Size) – I love watermelon and I love using beauty products with charcoal . What is neat about this product is it contains actual watermelon extract unlike most of the other watermelon themed beauty products.

Dashing Diva Gloss Ultra Shine Gel Palette (Full Size) – For those love pretty nails, these strips come in a variety of patterns that you can choose from. I got the All Lined Up set that I plan to use real soon.

Yensa Super 8 Lip Oil  – This is a nourishing, rich blend of 8 superfood oils that hydrates lip with a pop of color. I received the shade Pink Shine but this is available in 8 different shades on the Yensa website.

Shangpree Gold Black Pearl Eye Mask – Love to use masks? This one is enriched with black pearl, gold and rose ingredients to help improve firmness, smooth fine lines, reduce puffiness and diminish dark circles.

So lately I have become a junkie for the makeup subscriptions! I subscribe to all three of the Ipsy bags, I have all three memberships to BoxyCharm and also get the Allure box.  On Facebook I am always seeing ads for the FabFitFun box as well as people sharing in the past what they have got so I have been tempted to signed up. This last few weeks I keep seeing people talking about how they have free FabFitFun boxes to give away, you just have to pay $5 for shipping. I couldn’t hold out any longer and I finally signed up for one of the free boxes. Here is what I got…

Thirsty Hand Mask Duo – INC.redible NailsINc – These gloves feature a blend of plant extracts, shea butter, and vitamin E to instantly smooth and rejuvenate dry hands. (Value $16)

Prep Rally Prime & Prep Detangler – Drybar – This lightweight detangler uses biotin, vitamin B and C, and sea berry oil to soften and condition, and protect hair against heat up to 450 F. (Value $23)

SEA drink of H20 Hydrating Boost Moisturizer – Tarte – Leave your skin soothed and refreshed with electrolyte-packed hydration. (Value $39)

Organic Circle Bracelet – Adore by Swarovski – The bracelet features an irregular circle design, a rose gold-plated chain, and a shining Swarovski crystal. (Value $39)

For only $5 this box is a steal of a deal with a total retail value of $117. Since I am a fan of the tarte brand, I am most excited about the moisturizer and can’t wait to add it into my daily skincare routine.

One beauty product that I love using everyday is serums. Once I cleanse my face and add some toner, I look forward to using a serum to make my skin feel hydrated. For the last month I have been using the Vitabrid C¹² Dual Drop Serum in my daily skincare routine that I first tried in my January Allure Box. While I have serums I absolutely love using, this one is definitely one of my FAVORITES.  Even when I use other serums since I like to alternate daily, I use the Vitabrid C¹² Dual Drop Serum along with my other serums every day!

I LOVE this serum because it honestly makes my face feel refreshed and it is too easy not to use for the benefits you will receive. I just add a couple drops to my face and neck everyday in the morning and at night and my skin feels amazing!

Brighter skin, reduced fine lines and antioxidant protection, all in one drop. This quick-absorbing and deeply hydrating serum is packed with benefits from Vitabrid CG, a stabilized form of vitamin C, and powerful peptides ?for skin that looks and feels brighter, firmer, and deeply hydrated.

Why should you use Vitabrid C¹² Dual Drop Serum:

• Skin brightening
• Improves skin tone, texture, firmness and elasticity
• Moisturizes and hydrates the skin
• Supplies nutrients to the skin and protects the skin from external stress factors

If you are not using a serum as party of your daily skincare routine you are missing out! Interested in giving this awesome stuff a try?  Right now you can SAVE 84% off the normal retail price by using the code “ALLURE20” at Vitabrid.com through March 31st.

This last month or so I have been addicted to buying eyeshadow or window shopping eyeshadow palettes! My collection is small for now but growing. I am a member of a couple makeup groups on Facebook and there are members that have over 100 palettes which would be really fun to have. A couple weeks ago I found the Too Faced Razzle Dazzle Berry Eye Shadow Palette at Marshalls for only $14.99 and I had to grab it. I haven’t used the Razzle Dazzle Berry palette yet but after going online and seeing there was a pineapple palette that is part of the set, I wanted it. So I have made a couple trips to Marshalls and even a trip to TJ Maxx to look for it.

Tonight someone posted their haul from Marshalls that included the Too Faced Dew You Fresh Glow Setting Spray which looked like something I wanted to add to my collection. I asked my daughter if she wanted to take a trip to Marshalls and she was down to go with me. As soon as I headed to the Beauty section I found the Too Faced Watermelon Slice Face and Eye Palette that I have been wanting and decided to grab. Next I found the Too Faced Tutti Frutti Frosted Fruits Highlighter Stick that I had to grab as well. I thought I had only found those two items and luckily my daughter decided to try something on in the dressing room because I found a stand by the front door that had stuff recommend for Valentines Day gifts where I found the Too Faced Sparkling Pineapple Eye Shadow Palette that I had been looking for. I also found the Too Faced Dew You Fresh Glow Luminous Face Primer and the Too Faced Hangover 3-in-1 Replenishing Primer & Setting Spray!…

A couple days ago I received my second Allure Beauty Box! I will admit that I don’t like this third box as much as I liked my first and second box but that’s okay. Last month’s box had some awesome things in the box like Anastasia Beverly Hills Moon Child palette which was what got me to subscribe. I have this new obsession that I need to collect palettes and for the price of the box, it was totally worth it. This month’s box has mascara which I am always happy receive and a few other products I am excited to give a try.

Here is what was in my January Allure Beauty Box:

—>> Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes Mascara – This is what I was most exited to try! I LOVE the Tarte brand and the packaging of this is super cute!

The Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara is brand new. Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara A cult classic for over a decade, this best-selling vegan mascara lengthens, curls, volumizes & conditions, acting like a push-up bra for your lashes.

—>> Vitabrid C¹² Dual Drop Serum – I have been using serums as part of my daily skincare routine so I was excited for this to be in my box. Right now you can score this stuff for 84% off the normal retail price by using the code “ALLURE20” at Vitabrid.com through March 31st.

Brighter skin, reduced fine lines and antioxidant protection, all in one drop. This quick-absorbing and deeply hydrating serum is packed with benefits from Vitabrid CG, a stabilized form of vitamin C, and powerful peptides ?for skin that looks and feels brighter, firmer, and deeply hydrated.

—>> Naturelab Perfect Shine Oil Mist – I don’t try hair products too often since I prefer to keep my long hair clipped up and out of my way but I am going to give this a try to see if it makes my hair shine.

Enhance color and elevate shine with a Platinum Fiber-infused light-reflecting hair oil mist. Antioxidant-rich Stem Cells from Grape penetrate the scalp to guard against oxidative damage while a micro-mist of plant oils and butters provide protective moisture and an irresistible luster. Shine on. Heat Protectant & Color Protectant.

—>> Akar Skin Pure Lip Restoration – I am a fan of soft lips so I already tried this product as soon as I opened the little box it was on. When I opened the cute little tin I instantly had to stick my finger in it and put some  on my lips. I really like this stuff and it makes my lips sooo soft. It reminds me of using Carmex but softer and without the Carmex xmell.

A lightweight creamy treatment guaranteed to provide instant hydration for dry and chapped lips. Antioxidants help to fight sun-induced oxidative stress and lessen the appearance of lines. Smells of freshly brewed rose orange tea, our lip restoration is made of pure plant-based ingredients and free of mineral oil. A definite must-have if your lips are prone to chapping and cracking.

—>> Kate Somerville Exfolilate – I am all for exfoliating! I tried this and love the texture, just wish it had a little more scrub to it.

Clinically formulated to visibly transform texture and pores in two minutes, Kate’s signature Super Facial exfoliates dull, dry surface skin cells to reveal smoother, radiant, pore perfected skin in just two minutes! By clearing away dead skin cells, this Holy Grail product preps skin to better absorb the rest of your regimen, making every product and ingredient that follows more effective.

—>> Renewed Hope In A Jar Water Cream – I used to prefer thick creams, now I love using the ones that are water based. I am excited to try this one and bet I am going to wish I had it in a bigger size.

gotta glow? the lightweight, fast-absorbing texture of this water cream, containing norwegian glacial water, enhanced hyaluronic acid and pineapple extract, increases skin’s hydration level by 86%.
