LOLLIPOPS MAKE UP PARIS NAIL LACQUER IN VOYAGE A PARIS ($10)
I received this product in my October 2015 Glossybox. This is a really pretty red shade which is perfect for Valentine's Day. The formula is okay and lasts about two days without chipping. You definitely need 2-3 coats with this polish. I really love how shiny it is and it is a pretty good nail polish. Note: Excuse my bitten off nails. I am trying to stop biting again...such a nasty habit...I know.

I received this product (sample) in my November 2015 Allure Sample Society Box. I am not a huge fan of the grass/earthy scent. However, I really did like this product. It did add volume to my hair and the scent didn't linger. My hair looked really healthy and smooth. I applied it to damp hair and then blow dried my hair. I really enjoyed it and will finish this sample. However, it is fairly expensive so I don't know if I will repurchase the FULL SIZE. If I find it on a great sale, I will.

Iris Colors Touch of Heaven Extra Shiny Lip Gloss in Cherry
I received this product in my November 2015 TomBox. This gloss is okay. It isn't anything special. It isn't pigmented but gives the lips a nice wash of color. The glitter is a bit chunky which I didn't enjoy. It is a good gloss for on the go because you don't have to worry about it getting everywhere. It didn't last very long on the lips and it smelled okay. Overall, this is just an okay gloss.

I received this product (sample) in my December 2015 Birchbox. I am surprised how much I like this spray. It really did add a lot of texture to my hair and it smells amazing! If you love Harvey Prince scents, you will love this mist. The texture lasted all day in my hair. I would definitely purchase the FULL SIZE! I really enjoyed it and can't wait to use it again.

I received this product in my December 2015 Tombox. I can always use an invisible lip liner. This one was pretty good. It goes on completely clear and did help my lipstick from bleeding. I don't think I would repurchase because it is just like any other clear lip liner. However, I will continue to use it.
I received this product in my December 2015 Lip Monthly Bag. I get so tried of Be A Bombshell. However, I really love this lip color. These lip crayons are really nice, but not worth $16. I really do enjoy them though. This color lasted a decent amount of time on the lips and faded nicely. I really loved that this color can go with just about any look. I will definitely continue wearing this shade because it is so gorgeous. It is so easy to use and perfect for traveling. Overall, I loved it.

I received this product in my Start Strong Limited Edition Birchbox. I had high hopes for this eyeliner because I really love Eyeko eyeliners. However, this one just didn't work for me. It is definitely not waterproof in my opinion. It smudged all over my eyes and it didn't last long at all in my waterline. It is very black but it is hard to work with. It tugs at my eyes and is not very creamy. It also didn't last long even with powder on top. I am just not a huge fan of this eyeliner.
I received this product in my Winter BeautyCon BFF Box. I am so surprised at how much I love this stuff. It really does add loads of volume to my hair. It is a bit sticky and you can definitely feel it in your hair. However, I am okay with that because I love how much volume it gives my hair. I also love how it sprays out. You apply it to damp hair in sections. It sprays like a hairspray and then foams up which is so cool. It is so easy to use and I am just so impressed with how much volume my hair has.
I received this product in my January 2016 LipMonthly Bag. This lipstick is very matte and a bit drying. The color is a nice nude and looks pretty nice on the lips. It lasts for a decent amount of time, but balled up on me after a few hours. My lips were so dry after wearing this formula. I highly recommend wearing a balm underneath and a gloss on top. It is an okay lipstick, but not my favorite. It is very pigmented.

I received this product (sample) in my January 2016 Beauty Joy Box. This product is a total miss for me. I don't like it at all. It is definitely the wrong shade for me...way too dark. Even if it was the right shade, I still wouldn't like it. It is so hard to work with and is so streaky. I used both a brush and a beauty blender and still couldn't get it even. I just don't like this product at all and will be tossing it in the trash.
