Fragrant Jewels: Shipment One

So I decided to try a new Subscription Box... Remember when that was all I did?? I'm sure most of you have heard of the company Fragrant Jewels. They create candles, bath bombs, and other fun products, all with rings hidden inside!

The first box I received was a present for a friend, and I liked hers so much I decided to try it out as well! I really wanted a candle though, and sadly this box didn't contain one. But regardless, this is the Sweet Retreat collection. The scent is described as "Cool Marine Breeze, Fresh Lavender, and Soothing Chamomile." It is a bit to floral and fragrant to be especially soothing, but it is very nice and bright for spring.

The first item in the box were mini bath bombs. I actually prefer this size of bath bombs to the big ones! I was, however, afraid that since they were mini that this product wouldn't come with a ring, which kind of defeats the purpose of Fragrant "Jewels" doesn't it? But no worries! There was one tucked inside the bag!

Aside from the mini bombs, I also got a full sized bomb! This one has already been used, and it was lovely! It turned the bath a beautiful lavender color, but didn't dye the bathtub. My skin was fragrant and soft after the bath, and the ring floated right up to the top!

Finally, I also got a sugar scrub. Normally in a box you only get two items, but I guess they did three with this to equate the value of a candle. This scrub also had a ring in it! The scrub sticks together very well, unlike some sugar scrubs that are difficult to scoop because they fall apart. It isn't the most abrasive, but it is nice nonetheless!

In case you are wondering, the rings come packaged like this to keep them safe from the water, scrubs, and bombs. They look a bit like gum ball rings! The gold slip in there is a code you enter in on the website. It will tell you the value of the ring, give you reward points to redeem on the website, and enter you to win a $10,000 ring!

And finally, what we have all been waiting for, the rings! I don't wear silver a lot, but these truly are very pretty rings! The bands on the left and right are very similar, but they are simple, and exactly what I want in a ring. I know I won't get as much use out of the purple, but it is very pretty as well!

Overall, I am very happy with the box in retrospect. Even though I really wanted a candle initially, and I would have preferred gold, getting three rings makes up for it!

VoxBox: Tressemé Beauty-Full Volume

I know I don't usually post at 9 o'clock on Monday nights, but I wanted to go ahead and get this out to you all while I had time, because... I got another VoxBox! This one was the Tresemmé Reverse Your Routine box with a full sized shampoo and conditioner. This is a Volumizing system, and is reffered to as "Reverse Your Routine" because you conditioner before you shampoo... Weird right? I have to say I was a little confused and skeptical at first. The concept is that when you put conditioner in your hair and rinse then residue is left on weighing down your hair. My thoughts were that the residue left were the moisturizing properties and that you wouldn't want to rid yourself of all of them... It just seemed a little pointless. I have been using this combination periodically for a few weeks now, and surprisingly I actually really like it! When I get out of the shower my hair does feel much lighter than usual. Though it is hard to tell if I have...

My Everyday/Travel Makeup Bag

So as I was putting together the list for makeup bag that I will have with me in the car when I go on my trip to the beach this summer, I decided that you might want to know exactly what's in there and why I bring them :) The first thing I going to show you is this awesome pallet I found in a discount makeup store: It is a "Sweet by Day, Sexy by Night" pallet. On one side it has a dark brown and a champagne shade eye shadow, a light and a dark shade of bronzer, a light and dark brown shade of lipgloss, and two small applicators. On the other it has a light shade of pink and an almost purple eye shadow, a light and dark shade of blush, a light and dark shade of pink lipgloss, and two small applicators. You can buy it at www.amazon.com/day-to-night for $5. I thought this was the most simple way to pack all that i would need! Next I'm going to show you the face products I am bringing: They are: The Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder The ELF Aloe Infus...

Winter As a College Student

Let me just tell you, there isn't a thing in the world fun about a dorm room in the winter! On the happen chance that yours is as old as mine (pre-1960s, thank you very much) you probably have radiators too, which personally, I have very little control over. Even on the off setting they exude so much heat that the room is stifling! And then you open the window and snow starts blowing in... Yay Appalachian Mountains! Let's just all agree that is quite a process. So what is one to do to combat these cold (and getting colder!) temperatures? First, I've got two B's for you (mostly because I couldn't come up with a third...) Blankets and Bedwarmers! Let's face it, dorm rooms are tiny and your bed is the focus of the majority of decor, as well as where you will be spending a large portion of your time (yay Netflix binges!) so you need to make sure it is super cozy! Personally, I have my sheets and comforter that I sleep under every night. ...
