“This May, GLOSSYBOX partnered with one of the most exclusive department stores in the world! We’re bringing Bergdorf’s to you with a luxurious, custom-designed box filled with products from some of the best beauty brands (all available at Bergdorf Goodman and bg.com)”. ~Glossybox

HERE’S WHAT I GOT:

RéVive Skincare Eye Renewal Serum Firming Booster: Get younger-looking eyes with this RéVive lightweight cream. Quickly tightens the delicate area around the eye. Reverses sagging and wrinkles. Hydrates and gives a youthful lift. My thoughts: The full size product costs $350 so this is one of those products I would never get to try before buying so was thrilled to find it in this box. I swear it instantly made my skin under my eyes feel firmer but would have to give it more time to know how well it works long-term.

Kevyn Aucoin The Essential Mascara:The rich cream formula contains microspheres of Black Cellulo Beads that enhances the depth of the black pigment for the blackest black to achieve the perfectly defined eye. This innovative formula contains ultra-soft flexible fibers that is sensually smooth, light-weight and melts into every lash. The custom crescent shaped mascara brush applies the formula generously without touching the lid or clumping the lashes. The curved shape allows a precise application, lifting the lash from the base, and makes curling an instinctive reaction. My thoughts: I really like the brush on this mascara. Is it just me or does all mascara get better when its a week or two old? At first glance, I like it.

Lancer Skincare Lift Serum Intense: The serum’s key technology is the Stem Cell Recovery Complex. This proprietary complex contains a novel surface tensor for immediate firming and lifting effects, as well as marine and grape-derived stem cells that support skin’s natural regeneration processes for long term firming, surface smoothing and wrinkle reduction. My thoughts: Another luxury item that I can’t wait to try! The full size product is $275. I definitely need lifting & firming on my jawline.

Alterna Professional Haircare CAVIAR CC Cream for Hair 10-in-1 Complete Correction: A miracle leave-in product that delivers 10 benefits in 1 easy step, leaving hair perfectly polished. 1. Moisture 2. Shine 3. Smoothness 4. Softness 5. UV protection 6. Manageability 7. Strength 8. Anti-Breakage 9. Heat Protection 10. Light Hold. Can be used alone or as a foundation for the layering of other styling products. My thoughts: I haven’t tried this yet, but with as many hair products as I use, it would be amazing if they could all be combined into one product! I will report back on this one for sure!

Napoleon Perdis Auto Pilot Pre-Foundation Skin Primer: Makeup has never had a smoother landing. Get (even more) gorgeous with this gentle, pre-makeup base. Scientifically formulated to allow your makeup to “automatically” glide over the skin, Auto Pilot helps to prime and soothe the complexion for that flawless finish and helps makeup last even longer. Chamomile, Yarrow extract and Vitamin E deliver complexion perfection and instant hydration for all skin types. My thoughts: Most primers I’ve tried have left my skin feeling “tacky” and left darker spots where my powder would stick. This absorbs wonderfully and my makeup went on flawlessly. Will definitely use this.

Atelier Cologne Rose Anonyme Cologne Absolue: Rose Anonyme, a breathtaking seductress caught in a stolen affair between light and dark, Turkish Rose Absolue intrigues beneath notes of spicy Ginger, enwrapped in sultry veil of Velvet Oud, Indonesian Patchouli, mystic Papyrus and Somalian Incense. My thoughts: I wanted to love this as soon as a I saw “rose” in the name, but it didn’t smell much like roses to me. A little too strong for my taste.

All boxes also included a $25 Bergdorf Goodman gift card! Off to get my shop on…have a great weekend friends!

This dress/kaftan is from the Kate Moss for Topshop collection. I realized after I bought it that it was sort of similar to this one I bought last year. Well, sort of. Ok, maybe not. =) Also, I got these sandals a few years ago and am so excited to see that they brought them back! I like them so much that I just snagged a pair in black.

*linking up with Mix & Match Fashion.

I am in love with this sweater. It reminds me of the old school 70’s or 80’s baja hoodies! Apparently so does everyone else because they are flying off the shelf and are already sold out online too! Thinking my first pic could be included in this west coast skate style slideshow, no? LOL…

*Linking up with The Pleated Poppy & Because Shanna Said So.

Last week I had the pleasure of going down to Fashion Valley mall to check out Tommy Hilfiger‘s new summer arrivals. I went in certain that I would be coming home with one of the dresses from the Zooey collection, but after the store manager (gah…I forget his name…and feel SO bad because he was BEYOND helpful!) hand picked this dress for me, I pretty much did not want to take it off! Then I found the perfect white denim jacket to go along with it. The matching blue/white espadrille wedges were just the cherry on top!

I’ve been a Birchbox subscriber for 3+ years now and I still love the surprise element every month. Here is what I got in my May Birchbox:

CoTZ Face Natural Skin Tone SPF 40: Free of harsh chemicals, oils, and fragrances, CoTZ FACE Natural Skin Tone deflects damaging UVA-UVB rays without irritating sensitive skin. Best for medium skin tones, the complexion-matching formula blends in seamlessly and masks minor flaws. My thoughts: When I first saw the color, I thought it may be too dark for me but it actually blended flawlessly. It has a nice matte finish too. Perfect for those beach days when you don’t want to wear makeup.

32 Oral Care Effervescent Breath Crystals with IsoVoxy: Unlike gum and breath mints, which only mask bad breath, these teeth-cleaning crystals pack zinc and IsoVoxy to kill odor-causing bacteria. Once dissolved, they leave a fresh scent courtesy of natural peppermint flavors. My thoughts: I’ve received these in a Birchbox before. They are basically pop rock mints. To be completely honest, I would much prefer a traditional mint.

PIXI Beauty Shea Butter Lip Balm: This moisturizing formula contains shea butter and Vitamin E to soothe parched lips and prevent future dryness and also offers a wash of pigment. My thoughts: I liked the bright pink color…my husband is not as much of a fan…lol. It was very creamy and moisturizing. Can’t wait to check out what other colors are available!

Marcelle New·Age 8 in 1 Power Serum: The lightweight formula boasts five peptides, the amino acids that amp up collagen production and improve elasticity, plus xylitol, a natural sugar alcohol that helps skin retain moisture. These potent ingredients work in eight great ways. When it comes to lines, they smooth, provide a filling effect, and visibly reduce even deep wrinkles. They also firm, lift, and strengthen, while working to boost radiance and improve the texture of your complexion. My thoughts: I’ve only tried this once and it would definitely be too oily to wear under my makeup in the day but would be a nice nighttime treatment.

Nexxus® Color Assure™ Pre-Wash Primer: The oil-based formula seals the hair shaft, so water can’t penetrate into strands and fade color. It’s infused with moisturizing white orchid extract, almond oil to nourish strands and reduce breakage, coconut oil to add softness and bounce, and argan oil to amp up shine. What’s more, it’s entirely free of color-fading sulfates. My thoughts: It seems “oil” is in everything these days…skincare products AND haircare products. Unfortunately, it is just a little too heavy for my hair. While it is great for my ends, anything with oil leaves my roots too greasy.

Nexxus® Color Assure™ Vibrancy Retention Shampoo: This shade-safeguarding formula is infused with oil, protect strands as you wash and rinse hair, and made without any color-dulling sulfates. White orchid extract and almond oil moisturize and nourish hair, plus help prevent breakage. Coconut oil gives hair bounce and improves texture, while argan oil boosts shine.

Nexxus® Color Assure™ Vibrancy Retention Conditioner: The oils in this smoothing conditioner keep water out—and seal color in to lock in its vibrancy. Almond oil prevents breakage and provides much-needed nourishment to dry, treated hair, while white orchid extract delivers deep hydration. Coconut oil adds softness and bounce, and argan oil amps up shine.

EXTRA: $25 off any $75 purchase at Kate Spade’s Saturday.com coupon code.
