May Birch Box and Ipsy

With both boxes costing $10, my daughter and I want to see which really gives us a great value. Here is a look of what we got for May.

As for the boxes, V and I find that each box usually leans towards more of what we both really like in a sample box. She loves trying new makeup and nail colors, while I like getting to try new things for my hair and skin. I do have to say this month by Birch Box was kind of disappointing as one of my samples was a pen, and two of them were samples I am getting as freebies from the companies them selves. Though i will keep trying to see how this all works out in the long run. As for value for your box, Ipsy got it completely this month. 

The Value of the Ipsy Box:

Zoya Nail Polish in Blu was full size at $8

Juice Beauty lip gloss was also full size at $15

Pacifica Coconut Pearl at 2 oz $6. Full Price $24 at 8 oz

"Bitch" Please!

This wine with a great name was given as a gift, and was loved that friends would give me a chance to try something new. It is a Barossa Grenache 2009 with a name that is sure to be a conversation starter.

It does have a very nice round taste were you automatically taste a dark berry. It is very light and slightly dry to drink even with the deep round flavoring. This is something you would want to enjoy with something that is a little bit deep in taste like dark chocolate, beef, or a sharp cheddar. 

Over all though, I find this leaving me wanting for something more. It should be noted that I have heard that their bubbly is fun and tasty, and maybe something I will try if I find it on one of my perusing the grocery store. Also, I wanted to ask you, my readers, what you would like me to try. Thank you for reading and look forward to hearing your take on things. 

Colgate Optic White

My daughter use to make fun of this commercial. Who the hack brushes their teeth after they put on make-up, especially with red lipstick and sunglasses on? Who would have known we would be trying it by courtesy of Influenster in the Sugar and Spice Voxbox. I would like it to be put on record that there is no way someone could possibly still have lipstick after using this. Though, this does mean that it foams up and gets places you might have missed. The toothbrush was great as the bristles got to all the cracks. 

The funniest part was two weeks ago... I was brushing my teeth, and my daughter walked in. She started laughing since as I was wearing my bright red lipstick.
