May 2015 Favorites

I say this every month, but I can't believe it's already the end of May! I've got a few new favorites this month to keep your eye (or wallet) on.

Soyoung X Memebox Lovely Lip & Cheek Duo Review

I've got a Memebox brand makeup product review for you today. I've been really impressed with most of the makeup from their collaborations, particular foundations and lip products. Let's take a closer look to see what my thoughts are about this lip and cheek duo.

My Lip Balm Collection

I don't know about you, but I LOVE lip balms. I dislike the feeling of dry, chapped, and flaky lips so I'm constantly applying lip products throughout the day. Aquaphor is the first product I reach for when my lips are in a bad state, especially in the winter, but I like to try other lip balms the rest of the time. I didn't realize I had so many in my collection until I started gathering them into a bin.

Memebox Mayday Box

Memebox No Makeup Makeup

Surprise, it's another Memebox! The contents of this particular box were not a surprise because the products inside were shown on the website. I kind of like that you know what you're going to get beforehand although it does take the element of surprise and excitement away. In any case more than half the products in the box were things I've been curious about.

Memebox May Flowers

I've got another Memebox to unbox with you. Actually I have a few boxes coming in this week. There was a 30% off sale this past weekend which never happens so I couldn't pass up a good opportunity.

YSL Couture Mono Eyeshadow + More

Recently I was lucky enough to win one of Dave Lackie's blog contests. For those of you who don't know who he is, you should! He is the editor of BEAUTY the guide and a beauty expert for Citytv's Cityline TV show. He also runs many amazing giveaways through social media on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and his own blog. I never in a million years thought I'd win since he has so many fans and followers!

Unni Recipe Vitamin Recharger Essence Review

Product Description

A vitamin recharging, tone brightening essence that enriches dull, dehydrated skin with 6 different vitamins, lemon extracts, orange extracts, grapefruit extracts, lime extracts, and niacinamide.

L'oreal La Palette Nude 2 Review

Recently L'oreal released two eyeshadow palettes for their spring 2015 collection, La Palette Nude 1 and 2. I searched high and low for about a month to spot these palettes at the drugstores in NYC but they were always sold out. I could have purchased them online at Walmart ($15.84) or at Ulta ($19.99) where the site often has a buy 1, get 1 free deal but I wanted to see what the shades looked like in person.

Memebox Mother's Day Box

Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers out there! Someone made a comment that you don't just buy anything for your Korean mother on this special day which rings true for me. My Korean mother prefers cash rather than nice presents however, but I wanted to see what would be in this Memebox and perhaps divvy up the products with her.

Memebox Acne Care Box

Yay to Memebox for curating a box like this! I was definitely curious to see what products the company would put in with this theme.

Memebox Box of Fortune

I'm not sure why I had to order this Memebox since I don't have much luck in general when it comes to randomly selected boxes. I think part of it was the low price attached to the box ($29) which is reminiscent of the old days before the company did away with international shipping.

Remington Anywhere Curls Curling Iron Review

Product Description
Create curls on the move! The Remington Anywhere Curls Retractable Curling Iron is the perfect size to stow away for travel. Just pull up the barrel for fast, gorgeous curls, then push it down for compact storage. The unit turns off when the barrel is collapsed, so you can safely store it even when it’s still hot. With a 1” ceramic barrel and 400° high heat, this small curling iron packs enough power to get the job done.

Product Empties #3

I've manged to collect some empties this month other than sheet masks. Looking at the pile of product empties is a good way to assess if I'm going to purchase or repurchase at the end of use. I've talked about some of the products extensively in a review or whatnot so I'll link the posts below.
