My Luxe Box

categories: Glam

Luxe Box is seasonal beauty subscription service that I have been subscribed to for a couple of years now. Every three months, I receive my new box and it’s always so exciting to see what products will be delivered to my doorstep! This is definitely a great concept if you are someone who loves beauty and experimenting with new products, and I really love the fact that it introduces me to great products from brands that I am unfamiliar with, as well as some of my existing favorites. I just received my September Luxe Box yesterday so I thought that I would show you what it looked like, as well as a description of the products that were included. If you are into makeup and beauty products like I am, I would absolutely recommend for you to check out the Luxe Box website. It’s a great way to discover and play with new products, and it is so fun to receive your beauty box in the mail every few months!

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Nail Polish

categories: Glam

If you know me, then you know that I am a girly girl who always has nail polish on my fingers and my toes! I have loved nail polish since I was a little girl and it is very rare that you will catch me not wearing any color on my nails. So you can imagine how excited I was when I discovered that Sally Hansen had come out with Miracle Gel – a nail polish that acts similar to a shellac polish but without the need for a lamp. I am a huge fan of shellac polish (a formula that can last on your nails for 2-3 weeks without chipping or peeling), however I don’t always have the time to get my nails done at the salon, so I was super excited to learn that I could get a shellac looking manicure without actually having to go to the salon! Although I do love pampering myself with a professional mani and pedi every once in a while, it’s so great to know that I can actually get great results doing it myself at home for a fraction of the time and cost of a salon manicure. Sally Hansen offers a variety of Miracle Gel colors, and it is super easy to use – apply two coats of the Miracle Gel color of your choice, followed by one coat of the top coat and let dry! I have done shellac on my nails at home using a lamp and I love the fact that Miracle Gel does not require a lamp. It definitely saves so much time and patience! I can already say that this nail polish is my current favorite (and I have tried pretty much every polish out there), so it gets a a huge thumbs up from me!

These are the three colors (and top coat) that I have purchased. From left to right: Top Coat, Wine Stock, Red Eye, and Throwing Shade. — These are the three colors (and top coat) that I have purchased. From left to right: Top Coat, Wine Stock, Red Eye, and Shock Wave.

In this photo I am wearing Wine Stock (my favorite color so far - especially for the Fall), and this picture was taken five days after I had applied the polish! — In this photo I am wearing Wine Stock (my favorite color so far – especially for the Fall), and this picture was taken five days after I had applied the polish!

Younique Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes Mascara

categories: Glam

I came across the Younique Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes Mascara a few months ago but was hesitant to try it only because it was quite expensive ($45 after taxes and shipping). I have always purchased mascaras from the drug store and have found quite a few that I love, so I didn’t see a need for me to get this specific one. However, after seeing several before and after pictures of the mascara on Instagram, I decided that it looked way too good to pass up, so I went ahead and ordered it. I received the product within the week and couldn’t wait to give it a try! Today was the first day that I got to test it out, and after having used this mascara, I have to say that I absolutely LOVE it!!! Although it does take some time to apply this product onto my lashes (it takes at least four steps to achieve the desired look), the results definitely make it worth it! I think that the bigger the lashes are, the better, and I couldn’t believe how much longer and more voluminous my lashes were after applying this mascara. I definitely recommend this product to anyone who loves long, full, and sexy lashes!
