Her Eyes Were A Dreamy Color Of Amber...


I tried to edit this photo to be closer to the color I was seeing in the mirror.  My camera wasn't really picking up the right shade, so I tried fixing this one.
BROWS:
Wet N Wild pencil.

EYES:
NYC City Proof 24HR Eye Primer Base
MBA Cosmetics shadows in Sand Dollar, Bronze, and Amber.
Elf liquid liner in Midnight.
Covergirl liner (lower).
L.A. Girl Booming Lash mascara in Very Black.

LIPS:
L.A. Girl Matte Flat Finish Pigment Gloss in Dreamy.
I won both the lip color and mascara from LA Girl on a giveaway on their Facebook (I also won a face palette, you can see my photo on IG HERE).  But I can also say that MBA Cosmetics carries both the products - as well as clearly their (MBA) eyeshadows.  If you'd like to buy them and save some money use the code: ALLURE15

Sparkle Box - Avant Garde - June 2015.

Here is how the Sparkle Box looks when you pull it out of the purple mailer it came in.  Which was such a lovely shade of purple.


How this is presented is so sweet and chic.


This would also be so amazing as a gift for someone in your life, it even comes looking so perfect and professionally done.
Card was personalized which I love, it's the little touches I adore.
Here is the inside of the card telling everything that comes and that I got a Sparkle Box. 
 Cute tissue paper.
How the jewelry looks in the box, inside sheer organza bags.
The bags laid out.
The jewelry outside of the bags.  Keep going for the close ups.
The earrings.  I LOVE them - however, my ears are not pierced.  I think I am going to try and turn them into clip ons if I can.  But I think the colors are beautiful, kind of an oil slick in a way.



And to anyone else without pierced ears I did check and you can say in a comment that you do not have pierced ears so you don't have to worry about getting something you can't wear.  You can also choose your ring size and bracelet size which is awesome.

Here is the first necklace I got which is my favorite piece in the box.  I adore it and I think it'll become a go to every day kind of piece, it's so cute.
The tag that was on the lightening bolt necklace.  Love.
Close up of the statement necklace.
Showing the full necklace.

Now I did choose the Avant Garde box but there are seven styles of boxes to choose from, I love how much variety there is.  I was very torn between Avant Garde (which I did love) and Quirky/Handmade box, I think that one sounds really amazing too.  They all sound really nice.

It is a 19 dollar box, which does seem to include shipping as far as I can tell.


You can subscribe and see all the kinds of boxes HERE, which I suggest you do, cause it was a lot of fun to get.

In case you wanted a representation of the length of the necklace here is me wearing it.  I do like it.  I picture it with say a white tshirt and a leather jacket, that would look so amazing.


And if you follow me on Instagram you might have caught this photo too, I thought it just looked so cool that way, so did a lot of other people actually.


I also made a unboxing video of this, if you'd like to watch it, I'll include it below, I do adore any likes, comments, and new subbies.  Deeply appreciated.


I received this box to review.

This is my 1000th post.  Which is kind of a huge milestone I think.   I wish I could do something special for it to commemorate it.

Oz Naturals Ancient Orient Rice Enzyme...

Oz Naturals Ancient Orient Rice Enzyme

2.75oz

On sale at Amazon for 24.95.

Here is what is says on Amazon:
  • THIS FACE SCRUB EXFOLIANT utilizes bamboo to gently exfoliate skin and unclog pores without irritation, drying or stripping.
  • FINALLY A FACIAL SCRUB THAT contains lactic acid and alpha lipoic acid to further help the exfoliation process by breaking down and removing dead skin cells, revealing the glow of healthy skin beneath, and assists in reducing fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of premature aging from sun damage.
  • ANOTHER KEY INGREDIENT,, green tea extract,, is rich in antioxidants and helps to prevent collagen breakdown as well as tone and protect the skin from the damaging effect of free radicals.
  • THE PRO-VITAMIN B5 IN OUR scrub is readily absorbed by the skin and penetrates deep down, retaining moisture and relieving dry, irritated skin, and Alpha Lipoic Acid provides anti-inflammatory effects reducing redness and blotchiness, shrinking pore size and imparting a healthy radiance to the skin
  • SAFE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES,, our bamboo exfoliant is all natural and free of harmful ingredients.

When I first saw this and got it I did not realize it was a powder you mix with water until it becomes a paste.  I will say I had a bit of trouble doing that, getting it paste like, but I think I just haven't mastered the right ratio of powder and water.   I will say that I wish the packaging was different, while it looks nice, I wish the cap was different really.  It has a sticker on the top you peel pack to expose holes to tap it out, which if you're in shower doing this could just lead to a mess.  So I vote for a new different lid.   But as for the product itself, it makes me face feel super soft, got rid of all the dead skin I had (darn you dry patch I had no one invited you) and just feels lovely over all.  I keep reaching up and feeling my face because it is so soft, love.
