After checking if this is legit or not I signed up right away.Its a company that sends you a deluxe sample of beauty products with just $10 a month. To me its a pretty good deal. I saw some of what other bloggers received and its really a DELUXE SAMPLE. I am so excited because the products are from  BENEFIT COSMETICS, NARS, KORRES, CARGO, MARC JACOBS fragrances, STILA, TOO FACED among others. From fragrances to makeup, skincare to name a few they carry. PLUS the product they gonna be sending every month is 4 to 5 different kinds. No annual fees or anything like that, you can stop the subscription right away. No hassle! Now my first box gonna be on my doorstep on the 10th of February, YAY! 

I'm gonna be showing what I receive every month that's for sure......are you on birch box yet?

MAC Viva Glam Gaga


With my unending search of my HG foundie, I go to the cosmetics counter and I got tempted just by looking at these pretty products. We'll yesterday I decided to get my Clinique moisturizer at Nordstrom and ended up buying Viva Glam Gaga and MAC blush in Springsheen. Actually this is my first MAC lipstick, I've been wanting to get this shade but I just ended up killing my lemming for expensive stuff, in short I have discipline before than I do now LOL. But seriously I know the difference of high end versus drug store products. You can tell the difference just by the sample they give me at the cosmetic counters. I'm really happy because the Nordstrom people where I live are super nice, they give me good amount of sample here and there, weather you buy or not. 


I've been swatching this baby many times at the cosmetic counter and I love love the color. I don't need to tell the detail of this lippie as I am 3 years late in addiction of  MAC. Except I don't like lady gaga! 







Above image without watermark is from Musing of a Muse pic, which describe a better look of it. Let's see if this would be my favorite lipstick, I need to try it out for a week yet, wearing at work today though :)

L'oreal Infallible Never Fail Lip Gloss In Undeniable Mauve


From the Loreal website:

The patented petite Couer applicator contours lips precisely giving you a smooth, even flawless finish every time. Available in a range of 16 sheer luminous shades that stay true without changing, fading or dulling. Use it together with Infallible never fail makeup for a perfectly polished long-lasting look. No top coats. No feathering. No fading. 

Weight: .21 F oz/6.3ml

Price: $10
Where to buy: any drugstore


I was looking for like a light purple shade of lipstick but I couldn't find any in the drugstore, most of them are too dark for my skin tone. Since its winter I've been liking lip gloss or lip balm to sooth my dry lips lately. I was disappointed at one point because I can't wear lipstick even on summer. My lips are too dry until I found the EOS lip balm and then the NYC lip gliders which is my staple lip product I use everyday. It made my lips way moisturize that is why I'm into hunt for some good lippies now. 
  

 PROS:
              long lasting as it claims
              light weight consistency
              sheer but buildable 
              non-greasy
              no funky smell
              doesn't fade
              it glides easily and doesn't look dirty on the lips
              
CONS: nothing I can think of



I love the applicator, so much easier to apply, seems like you can get most out of the product in one application.

                                                             in natural light

I am so in love with the color. I would definitely buy some more shades!
