Avon A Box – The Best Of Beauty

Avon A Box The Best of Beauty Fall 2017

Another A Box from Avon and this one is quite similar to the Pro Picks box I shared yesterday.  It contains the same two serums, Anew Ultimate Night Cream, a glimmerstick and lipstick.  If you have not read my reviews of their previous boxes, Avon’s A Box is a bit different than regular subscription boxes.  […]

Avon A Box Pro Picks Box For Fall 2017

Avon A Box Pro Picks Fall 2017 Skincare and Makeup - All Products

Many of us have dropped our subscription box habit for numerous reasons.  The main one for me was not loving the boxes and thinking that saving the $10-20 spent on each could be better used on stuff I love.  Add in the cost of shipping and some of the Canadian ones going out of business […]

Hard Candy Metal Eyes Set Review

Heavier metallic colours are not really my thing in the warmer months when the Hard Candy Look Pro!

Givenchy Noir Interdit Mascara – The One With The Bendable Wand!

Givenchy Noir Interdit Mascara - Review

So, a $38 mascara with a bendable wand?  Can Givenchy’s Noir Interdit mascara live up to the hype and actually get all of those lashes?  Is it worth $38? Don’t get me wrong, I will splurge on something that works for my lashes but with a short shelf life, $38 is high for mascara. I […]
