November 2012 Topbox

I have just realized that it is now December and I have not blogged about the November Topbox! Time has just flown by! Work has gotten so busy that I just come home exhausted. I feel like I’m going to be tired for the next month or so just trying to keep up with Christmas parties and my work schedule. Oh well, that’s what beauty products are for – relaxing! This month’s Topbox was again a little lackluster for me, but there was one product that made this box an overall win for me. Let’s find out what it is! Although at this point, most of you already know what that may be!

B.Kamins Nia-Stem Moisturizer and Serum

Thoughts: I don’t know if I will really be able to see the beneficial effects of this line given the samples we received, but I have been wanting to try more B. Kamins products so I am happy to receive these as samples. 

Full size: Moisturizer – 50mL/$125 and Serum – 30mL/$135

I received: Moisturizer – 3.25mL/$8.13 and Serum – 3.25mL/$14.63

“Free” Sinnage at the Shoppers Mega Redemption Event!

A lot of us waited all of November for mega redemption day at Shoppers Drug Mart on December 1st and 2nd and I even made a girls day out of it because a friend and I both had very specific things to get on our wish lists! I’ve really enjoyed reading what some of your girls ended up getting so I hope you enjoy my redemption post as much I have enjoyed all of yours!

November 2012 Empties!

With November favourites come November empties, so let’s get this empties party started shall we?! I wasn’t too good about the full sized products, but I did get through my samples which always gives me a nice boost of “you can do it!”

Swatch: Pretty & Polished–Xmas Wreath

Hello all! This is going to be a quick post as for some reason, December has now brought on a sudden onslaught of busyness! I feel almost overwhelmed which is not good! Thank goodness for the calming effects of nail polish…(fumes?) Today I bring to you another one of the Christmas releases from Pretty & Polished called Xmas Wreath!

Xmas Wreath is what I would describe as a light, forest green metallic sheer with silver, red hex and green “shards” of glitter. What I have on is two coats with easy application. The glitter came out very easily, so no fishing was required.

I hate to say this, but this is an incredibly unique holiday polish that I don’t really like…I didn’t find the green to be very flattering on me and I don’t know how I feel about the green shards of glitter. This polish was a lot of fun to wear and did get a few compliments while I was out and about so I’d say for the Christmas novelty of it, it’s definitely worth the buy!

Pretty & Polished now has a new store where you can find Xmas Wreath and other holiday polishes!

November 2012 Luvs

A year ago I started doing monthly product favourites so when I went into my Dropbox folder to add in my photos for November, I realized that I now had to specify what YEAR of November I was referring to! My, how time flies! I feel like I should have more favourites for the month, but sometimes I forget to write a product down and then *poof* it disappears from my brain. Anyway, here’s what I could remember!
