November Play! by Sephora Unboxing

Published on by Demetra Marie2 Comments

Hello lovelies! This post is going up much earlier than expected because well I got my box earlier than expected. I remember watching a YouTube video or reading someone’s blog months and months ago about how receiving a subscription box is like opening presents on Christmas morning. Let me tell you, it totally is!

This month’s box theme is Best in Glow. All products will make you skin and features glow. I’m very excited to try out this month’s product.

Project Pan Update #3

Published on by Demetra Marie2 Comments

Hello lovelies! I know that this update is a little late going up but I wanted to update you all anyways. This will be short and sweet and I’m not going to go through every item. The only new item that I have essentially used up is my Blistex Silk n Shine Lip Balm. I have to use my finger now in order to get the product out of the tube. I could use a lip brush, but for a lip balm it just doesn’t seem worth it to me to do that. I have moved on to the Nivea Lip Butter in order to try and finish that as well by the end of the year.

The next few items that should be done within this next month, the body scrub, which I feel is the never ending tub, the Clinique eye cream, and the Clarins Serum. Honestly, I don’t see my self finishing up any of my hair products or my perfume, but I have made quite a bit of progress with the perfume. I’m over the scent and have a list of perfumes that I would like to get and some samples I have received.

I originally gave myself to December 5th to finish at least 10 items, and I thought how ridiculous that is! I still have 3 more weeks of the year left. There’ll be one more update before the final reveal of everything that I have used up. I am hopeful that I will reach my goal of 10, and look forward to doing another project pan in the future. Have a great Monday and I’ll see you in my next post!

October Play! by Sephora Unboxing

Published on by Demetra MarieLeave a comment

Hello lovelies! I didn’t want to skip showing you my October box, and I figured I would put this post up now before it got too late. Once again technology hasn’t been my friend and unfortunately I’m not sure how many more times this is going to happen. One day I will be able to get a new computer and most problems will be solved. I know that I have said about previous boxes that I am really excited about a few items that I received, but this months box, I absolutely LOVE everything that I got. First I didn’t receive the standard 5 items plus a perfume sample, I received 6! Yes, you read that correctly 6. I got 2 of one of the products. I’ll let you know further down which one I got 2 of. Did this happen to any one else?

Products

Christophe Robin Regenerating Hair Mask; Retails: $71

Erborian Bamboo Frappee Skin Reviving Fresh Gel; Retails: $43

The Estee Edit Flash Photo Gloss; Retails: $20 (I GOT 2!)

Farmacy Skin Dew Hydrating Essence Mist & Setting Spray; Retails: $44

Smashbox Always On Liquid Lipstick in Driver’s Seat; Retails: $24

Yves Saint Laurent Mon Paris; Retails: $92

 This box has been by far my favorite box I received. The perfume sample, I actually smelled right away when I opened my box and it smells amazing and lasts all day on the skin. I can’t wait to try out the hair mask and the face gel. The second Flash Photo Gloss I’m going to give to someone in their stocking for Christmas. I love that Sephora included a lip color that could work on just about anyone

Project Pan Update #2

Published on by Demetra MarieLeave a comment

Hello lovelies! Today I am updating you on the products that I have been using as part of my very first project pan. I’m just going to say it…I am horrible at using the things that I own, especially when it comes to hair products. I do have to say that I have done a little better than the last month. I have made some more progress on a few items. There are no new products that I finished.

To review, I have finished the Vaseline Spray & Go in cocoa radiant and the Garnier Blackhead Eliminating Scrub.

img_1960I’m almost done with the Aussie Sprunch Spray, NYX butter gloss in  creme brulee, Blistex Silk n Shine lip balm, Tree Hut Shea Sugar Scrub in Tropical Mango, and the Smashbox eyeliner in Onyx.

img_1961The rest of the items, will hopefully be done by the end of the year. I have made a little progress on the Marc Jacobs perfume and it’s a 10 leave in conditioner. The Buxom lip gloss, I have used easily 10 times in the last month and there is hardly any progress. It looks as if I haven’t used it at all.

That is all for this update. I will hopefully have used up a few more items in my next update. The goal is to use up at least 10 of the 15 products by the end of the year. I am on a no buy as well til next year. Bring on the hauls in 2017! I hope you enjoyed this little update. Have a great day and see you in my next post!

August Play! by Sephora Unboxing

Hello lovelies! Happy Humpday! Today I’m sharing what I got in my August Sephora Play box. A couple of these products I am excited to try out and the others will be passed on to friends and family. Without further ado, let’s dig in…

That’s everything that came in my Play box this month. I hope you enjoyed digging through the bag with me. I’m definitely looking forward to trying out the eye pencil, mascara and the eye shadow. The two eye products I’m going to pass on to my mom. The scent I feel like it’ll be a great springy summer scent. I’m ready for fall and everything that comes along with it. I probably won’t try this out until spring. If you want a first impression or a full review on these items or any other Play box item let me know! I hope you have a great rest of the week!
