Beauty Box 5 Unboxing | July 2014

Hey everyone! So I recently got my Beauty Box 5 in the mail for the month of July, and I have to say I'm pretty impressed with this month's box! Better than June's. So lets get on to what was actually in the box!

If you want to check out Beauty Box 5 click here

So this month's box was all about your defining moments! Here is what you see when you first open the box

On the back of the card is the 5 products that you get with a description, and retail price

The first product we got was a mascara! Plus it's full size! I love mascara, so getting any type of new mascara is the best! I tried this out, and it works pretty good, but I think it looks better with another mascara. I put this on first and then put a coat of the Maybelline Volume express, The falsies mascara and it made my eyelashes look great.
Revlon Bold Lacquer Mascara | Retail: $7.99

The next thing I got is probably my favorite! I don't have many eyeliners, and the ones I do have pretty much suck, so getting a new, high end eyeliner is perfect for me! I tried this out on my waterline, and its very pigmented, and goes on very smoothly. I haven't tried anything else from Starlooks, but if you're looking for a new pencil eyeliner, check out the one from Starlooks! 
Starlooks Obsidian Kohl Eye Pencil | Retail: $12

The next product I got was a body scrub. I don't really use body scrub all that much, but I will definitely be trying this one out. It's all natural, and smells yummy too! It says it's for face and body, but my skin tends to be pretty sensitive, so I'm going to stay away from my face with this product. But I think I will definitely enjoy this scrub!
Anna Naturals Glowing Mama Walnut Face & Body Scrub | Retail: $10.99

Next, we got a lip balm. I love any type of lip balm, and getting new one is always good because I usually lose all mine. I tried it out and it's definitely hydrating and moisturizing. But the best thing about this, is it smells (and tastes) super yummy! 
Body Drench Candy Licious Lips | Retail: $3.99
(Lime Gumdrop)

The last product I got was a hair treatment. I usually love any type of hair treatment, and always looking to try out new ones. Plus I've tried other products from this brand and I've loved every single one of them. You can get 2 uses out of this sample, so thats pretty good. I'll definitely be trying this out soon!
HASK Argan Oil Intense Deep Conditioning Hair Treatment | Retail: $2.49

Overall I'm pretty happy with everything in this box, especially the eyeliner and mascara! I was going to cancel after last month but I'm glad I didn't! I'll keep it for at least another month and see how August is. I hope you guys enjoyed this post! I would love if you guys could suggest some ideas for future posts either in the comments or on my twitter!

Summer Plans

 I was trying to come up with an idea for a post, but I couldn't really think of everything. So I'm just going to share with you all the plans for my summer. This year, unfortunately, summer is cut short by a few weeks. I have 11 snow day to thank for that. But I made it through the never ending school year, somehow.

In July, I don't have many plans. Just sitting at home watching big brother and the live feeds all day, hanging out with friends, and going to the pool. For 4th of July weekend, I'm going up to my friend's lake house with a bunch of friends from elementary school. On the 14th of July I start behind the wheel, the last step to getting my license. Saying I'm nervous is an understatement... I have to go through 14 hours of behind the wheel, 2 hours a day. Though only 7 hours is actual driving. Praying I pass, I really want my license!

In August is when the fun stuff happens. The most exciting thing- I'll get my license! I'm beyond excited to finally have the freedom to drive, and driving to school, instead of taking the bus, will be the best part. On the 10th, my family is going on vacation to Myrtle Beach in SC for a week, which I'm pretty excited for because I mean who doesn't love the beach, right? On the 23rd I'm going to Pittsburgh, PA with my friend and her mom to see the senior woman's final in the P&G Gymnastics championships, which will be amazing because we got pretty awesome seats! For the rest of August, I'll just be enjoying the last days of summer with my friends, at the pool, and having the freedom to drive where and whenever I want. Oh my gosh, I have mentioned how excited I am to finally have a license, instead of learners permit?!? Sometime at the end of the month I'll have to go get my schedule at the orientation, and then summer will pretty much be over :( But on the bright side, I'll be an upperclassmen, driving myself to school, and taking classes I'll hopefully enjoy, at least more than I did freshman and sophomore year.

Sorry for the short post, but I haven't posted lately so I needed to get one up. I'll try to come up with better posts in the future, I promise!
