February Popsugar Must Have Box + More

Ok, I actually got my February box a couple of weeks ago ... sorry it's taken so long to post on it! I also have gotten a few other random things to post on ... so here goes! The Must Have Box ...

I was really surprised this month ... they charged me the first of the month and shipped it not long after. I received my box on Valentine's Day! (great gift to myself!) 

Ok, I LOVE this month's box!! It came with ... 

Brokedown wrap and a Hanky Panky thong in cobalt.

Mariebelle Cacao Nibs.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Romantic. (difficult to get a close pic for some reason)

I also received the Safe Haven book, jewelry cleaner and Sweethearts. There were also discounts for items. There was a 30% discount for a purchase at Brokedown, a free song download from the Safe Haven soundtrack, 15% discount on a purchase at Hanky Panky as well as a free Zoya polish with purchase in Hanky Panky Purple. I actually already used the code for the free polish. If you sign up for their email updates you get $10 off your first purchase, which was a better deal than 15% off. So I also got another pair of the undies but in Passionate Pink. They also sent me some Lingerie Wash Powder.

Box value : 

Brokedown Spa Wrap : $84

Hanky Panky Thong : $20

Mariebelle Cacao Nibs : $12

Revlon Balm : $7

Connoisseur Jewelry Cleaner : $8

Safe Haven Book : $8

Sweethearts : about $2 I'd say

Total Value : $141

Again, this box is $35/month. If you want to sign up for next month use this link : http://popsu.gr/KXP You can use the code REFERFRIENDS to get $5 off your new subscription. This code is good until 2/28. (however this is the same code it's been the last couple of times)

Next up ... MAC came out with a new collection called Archie's Girls. So many cute items! I wish I could've bought one of everything, but they're pricey. So I limited myself to one item. I chose the Pearlmatte Face Powder in Flatter Me.

I've been using it everyday ... such a nice powder! I bought this on MAC's site for $30. It's currently sold out ... check local MAC stores! 

I also received another sample from Popsugar's Sample Squad! I requested both the Wella Professional Thermal Image Heat Protectant spray and the Dial lotion.. but I only got the Wella. I'm thinking they may have more people signed up than when I first signed up and you may not get everything you request. They only chose 100 people for the Wella. You also have to check the site regularly for new samples. They don't send out alerts to your email like you can request them to do. So I missed requesting the Dove body wash. Anyway, I do love the Wella spray! Everything they send out is full size... I love that! The spray smells so good and works great. It doesn't make it difficult to curl like other heat protectants I've tried. I recommend this one! 

Finally I also bought three of the Pixie Dust polishes from Zoya! 

I bought Nyx, Dahlia and Godiva. I love this polish! It's so simple! No base or top coat needed. Just three thin layers of this polish. It dries to a sandpaper finish with sparkle. 

Here's Nyx with all three layered on my ring finger to make a navy.

And Godiva ...

I forgot to get picture of Dahlia while I had it on ... maybe I can remember for the next post! Anyway, love these polishes and hope they come out with more shades! Their polishes are $9 each.

Quite a lot for this post! Now I'm waiting on a super cute glow in the dark case for my phone from Victoria's Secret in Lemon Lime and of course my March Must Have box! I completed a survey for Influenster the other day to opt in for the February Voxbox ... so hopefully I'll get that and have more things to post here next time! It'll be my first actual Voxbox! Til then, glam it up! 

Boots No7, Sample Squad & Palmolive Fresh Infusions

Well, I finally received my first box from Influenster, so I figured it would be a good time to do a few reviews I've been holding off on. First review is on Boots No7 Intelligent Balance Mousse Foundation.

My best friend Kristi introduced me to this and I love it! It's a little pricey at $13, however I think it will last awhile because a little goes a long way! 

I had a minor freak out when I first put this on because I didn't realize that a little does go a long way... and put on WAY too much. It looked awful. I had to take it all off and start over. The second time I put a little on at a time, and it looked a million times better! Now it's my favorite foundation. After you start blending it, it almost starts to feel like a powder... and it blends really well! Highly recommend this one! 

Next, I also received my first free sample from Popsugar's Sample Squad! Olay's 2 in 1 Daily Facial Cloths. 

I know I've tried something similar to these before, because they look too familiar. However, I don't think they're quite the same and I LOVE these! So much so that I purchased a box. I've been a faithful user of Say Yes to Cucumbers Cleansing Towelettes ... but these changed my mind! They get so much more makeup off that I didn't even realize was still on my face! Definitely my new favorite! Another highly recommend! These are at basically any drugstore/supermarket for around $7. 

Finally, my complimentary Influenster box! 

I was sent three full size (16 oz) bottles of Palmolive Fresh Infusions dish soap. I admit, I wasn't too excited once I found out this was my first box... but once I actually got them I found I was actually excited to do the dishes. ha! Something about free full size stuff.... haha anyway, they came in three scents: Lemon Thyme, Ginger White Tea and Lime Basil. I'm keeping the Lemon Thyme and Lime Basil and I gave the Ginger White Tea to my friend Elaine to try. She liked it as well saying it had a clean, fresh scent and a pretty bottle. I tried both the Lemon Thyme and the Lime Basil tonight... I found that I liked the Lime Basil best while my mom liked the Lemon Thyme. It worked really well and I loved the scent... seemed to be pretty relaxing actually! I also noticed that it left my hands soft afterwards. They cleaned my cat's dishes really well! They also did a great job on dishes used to make brownies tonight. However, I didn't have any dishes tonight with really stuck on food, so that'll be my next challenge for these. So far, I'm impressed with them! These can be purchased at Walmart for $2.96. Links for both Palmolive and Influenster will be at the bottom.

I also need to give a little shout out to Alka Seltzer Plus for Cough/Cold... I've been sick all week with bronchitis... I usually use DayQuil and NyQuil but decided to give these a go as they're supposed to do better with a runny nose. Love it! It works wonders!! So if you have any of the nonsense going around out there... use this! It really helps! 

And that's it so far! My January Popsugar Must Have box started processing today, so I'll be getting that in the next couple of weeks. Hopefully I'll be getting more boxes from Influenster and will have more free samples from the Sample Squad! Til then, glam it up!
