News from Ipsy

After almost two months I got a notification that my Ipsy/Glam Bag subscription has been activated- so my friend was right-it takes about two months to get off the wishlist (FYI I subscribed September 11- Got notification October 30 - will get my first bag in November). I am waiting for that first bag as November is my birthday month. It will be like a small surprise for myself.

Today I've checked./googled "ipsy nov spoilers" at least five times. I'm pretty excited :)

Birchbox was easier to get- I merely subscribed via a Facebook link at the end of September and got my first box in October (that was the "leftover"September box). So far my experience is 50/50. I feel like I am getting my money's worth in samples but I do not feel like I am getting anything over $10. With Ipsy comes the allure of receiving 1)makeup 2)one full size item (that is hopefully not a chapstick).

Let the battle of the boxes begin!

Creme de la creme by Miss Jessie's

Miss Jessie's Original
Creme de la Creme Conditioner- Full size 12 oz. for $16

Tested a sample - 1 fl oz./29 ml

Ok- honest and short review -
This conditioner is a little bit runny. The sample lasted me for two applications because I have short hair. I applied it for 5 minutes both times and can say that it does tame your hair. Unfortunately, in my case, this conditioner is a little heavy even though it does not look like it when applied. I think I will not buy it as I could only ever use it as a weekly treatment and I was not impressed with it enough. The scent is ok.
I would give it four stars- it was good but not suited for me.

I applied a little bit of mousse, but i can tell that my hair is going to look bad tomorrow.

Verdict: I will pass on this product.

It's another box :)

The time passed rather quickly. I didn't expect it to do so- but once I got a notice of creating/shipping my birchbox I found out a plethora of comments about October box already (especially here ).

I also discovered a way to check what is in my box and ever since I was waiting in a slight disappointment for my box.

I had box # 29

Let me tell you all about them

I'm amazed

I have not finished sampling September birchbox and today in the morning I got a notification about the October one. There be official spoilers

I want something from benefit

Detox Fub I rate you C-

Last month I bought a five day detox set  offered by choice4life from groupon. I have done it and I really cannot rate it higher than C (or two and a half stars)

In my package, which arrived promptly after a week of claiming my groupon - I received 2 bags with the content that was to take me through a detox phase.

Well let me tell you about the content of those bags.
