MKGlam VoxBox Review

I was super excited when I found out I would be receiving my very first VoxBox from Influenster to try out and review the product.  I love make up so I definitely got the right box for me.  I waited and waited (ok it wasn't that long I'm just impatient) and finally it arrived!!  I was expecting to just get small samples of the products, but I opened my box and to my surprise these were full size products!  Woo hoo!  Here's what I got:

MKGlam VoxBox

Mary Kay® Bronzing Powder

I don't usually use bronzing powder, but in Idaho it certainly doesn't hurt to use it considering you don't get a lot of sun in the winter. I thought it was a nice color and added some "sun" to my face. My only complaint is that when I used the powder brush it scratched so much off that I ended up with a lot of powder other places.

Mary Kay® Translucent Loose Powder

The translucent powder went on nice on my skin and seemed to add a pretty glow. I loved that the inside has a turn dial so the powder doesn't get everywhere when it's thrown in a make up drawer or in a bag while traveling. I also got this powder brush. Great brush and a new one...who doesn't need another brush?

Mary Kay® Mineral Cheek Color

This color has a gold base to it...so I loved it. This color is a pretty cheek pink. It didn't break apart and make quite a mess like the bronzer did. I could really wear this color every day.

Mary Kay® Cream Eye Color in Apricot Twist

I'll be honest, the last time I wore a cream eye shadow was in 8th grade when it came in a little candy shaped container and it was a bright sparkly blue. So this one made me nervous. I love love love the color. Again it has those gold undertones. I probably wouldn't buy a cream eye shadow on my own, but this one worked out fine. Also I got this great concealer brush.

Mary Kay® Lash Love® Mascara

I'm pretty picky about my mascara. I have what I use and really don't stray from that too much. This was not bad though. I liked that a huge clump did not come out with the wand (mine does that) and it seemed to hold up on my eyes fairly well throughout the day, even though my eyes water a ton (dang Idaho wind).

Mary Kay® Gel Eyeliner with Expandable Brush Applicator in Jet Black

Once again I had something to try since I had never used a gel liner before. It really stayed on well and wasn't hard to use like I thought it would be. The little brush is small enough that it worked fine.

Mary Kay® NouriShine Plus® Lip Gloss in Mango Tango

I love the bright color of this. It's so fun for spring and summer. I thought at first it would look way to orange/ridiculous on me, but since it was a gloss and not a full matte lip color it looked just fine. I really ended up liking this the most.

The Final Look

I was really glad I got a chance to try these products out. It really made for a fun time testing make up I had never worn before.

I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes. However these views are completely my own.

Stitch Fix May Review

Woo Hoo! I got my second Stitch Fix this month.  I was so excited for it.  Stitch Fix is a clothing styling service where you tell them the kind of clothes that you like, your sizes, and about how much you want to pay and they send you a box of 5 items that you get to try on at home and send back what you don't like or want.  They do all of this for a $20 styling fee and if you keep at least one item the $20 goes towards that item.  If you end up keeping all 5 items you get a 25% discount on the whole box.  It's pretty much amazing...and addicting.  I just couldn't wait to see what they picked out for me this month.  My friends, after seeing what I got sent, figured the people styling me knew me personally.  They don't, but because they see my pinterest board they probably have seen enough of what I like and don't like.  Anyway...onto the clothes this month!!

Pixley Page Chain Collar Necklace $36

The first thing I got was this beautiful statement necklace.  I love jewelry like this.  It's bold and not a tiny chain that I feel like I might break if I catch it on one thing.  It looked like so much fun so I kept it.

Liverpool Vinny Ankle Length Colored Skinny Jean $78

This color caught my eye, it's definitely springy and fun and I had asked for more color, but they just didn't seem to fit me how I wanted.  I also thought they were a little pricy for a pair of colored skinny jeans so these got sent back...

41Hawthorn Toshi Contrast Detail Longsleeve Blazer $88

So I had seen this blazer in someone else's Stitch Fix box and I was super excited that I got it.  I asked for work appropriate clothes and this for sure fits the bill.  It was little more than I would want to pay, but I ended up keeping it.  It's a classic piece that I'll be able to use for work and it's hard to see, but at the sleeve there's a little edge of polka dot detail that I love.  It was a keeper.

Leota Melony 3/4 Sleeve Chebron Print Wrap Dress $138

I wanted to like this one.  I've been looking for a spring dress and I do think it's cute, but honestly I didn't feel the cost of it fit what it was.  I specifically asked for dresses that were knee length and they really got this right spot on.  Stitch Fix really listened to what I needed...it was just too much.  I think for this dress I probably would have wanted to pay more around $50...so back it went.

41Hawthorn Ivy Abstract Triangle Print Tab-Sleeve Blouse $68

And last, but certainly not least I got this top.  I LOVE it.  I love fun prints like this and thought it would go perfect with the gold collar necklace.  I feel like this is dressy enough for work, but also really fun for a night out with my friends.  It's something I see myself wearing often (probably too much).  Needless to say I kept this one.

So overall I kept 3/5 pieces.  Not bad!!  I think the stylists do an excellent job of really listening to what I want and picking things that I might not pick up in the store, but end up falling in love with.  This time I changed my style profile a bit so I'm excited to see if my next one is a bit different.
