BH Cosmetics 120 Color Palette 4th Edition

BH Cosmetics has been having some really great sales recently. I contemplated for the longest time whether I should get the 120 Color Palette 4th Edition.  I already have the 2nd and 3rd Edition in the 120 Color Palette.  These eyeshadows are so pretty.

Final thoughts: June Myglam Bag and June Birchbox

June was the second month that I received a Myglam Bag and a Birchbox.

The theme of the June Myglam Bag was Out All Night.  My bag consisted of:

  1. Philosophy take a deep breath oil-free energizing oxygen gel cream moisturizer- sample
  2. Full size NYX Round Lipstick in Iced Honey
  3. Living proof frizz Nourishing Styling Cream – sample
  4. Full size Marbella Permanent Eyeliner Pen

I was really pleased with the June Myglam Bag overall. To receive two full size products is definitely worth the $10 a month for me.  The Marbella Permanent Eyeliner Pen stood out for me the most.  This eyeliner held up to hot and humid weather and lasted all day for me.

The theme of the June Birchbox was Jet Set. My box consisted of:

  1. Juliette Has a Gun Not a Perfume – sample
  2. Masqueology Pore Minimizing Mask – one mask
  3. Melvita Rose Floral Water – deluxe sample
  4. theBalm cosmetics Stainiac in Beauty Queen – sample
  5. Band-Aid brand Cynthia Rowley Dress Up Band-Aids

I was pleasantly surprised to find five products in the Birchbox. I felt that was $10 well spent for June.  The item that stood out for me the most was the Melvita Rose Floral Water. I really love the fragrance and it wasn’t overpowering

BH Cosmetics 28 Color Smoky Eye Palette

BH Cosmetics recently came out with their 28 Color Smoky Eye Palette. My initial impression is that this  palette is great for beginners and makeup artists with more experience.

Beauty Subscriptions

May was a busy month especially when it came to beauty. I recently discovered the world of beauty subscriptions. That involves paying for a subscription service to receive beauty samples every month. The two subscription services I signed up for are Birchbox and Myglam. You have the option of paying $10 per month or $110 for a year. I was initially put on a waiting list until a slot opened up. There are many more beauty subscriptions to choose from.
