Urban Decay Full Frontal Lipstick Stash- Holiday Collection 2014
This lipstick stash is a part of the Urban Decay holiday collection. The lipsticks are really mini, much smaller than I expected. It is a great way to try out these lipsticks though! It is $39, and comes with six lipsticks and a clear lipliner in "Ozone". Ladyflower, Crush, and Elicit are all three exclusive to this collection. The other three are in the regular line. This is a really creamy formula. I am really liking them so far.

Boxycharm October 2014
Boxycharm is a monthly beauty subscription box. It's $21 a month. There is always 5 full size products in every box. This box has the best value out of every box I've ever seen. I continue to be impressed by it. You can sign up here.
Take a look at what came in the October box!
The theme this month was bewitched, which is fitting since this is the month of Halloween.
The box always comes with a card that tells you all of the products that you received in your box.
Palmetto Derma Collagen Booster & Restoration Serum
This is a full size product worth $48!!! This was definitely the most exciting product in the box for me. I can't wait to try this out! It also came with a coupon code to take 20% off of their entire website.
Coastal Scents Eclipse Concealer Palette
This is a full size concealer pallet worth $19.95, although it is on sale on the Coastal Scents website for $14.95. Concealer palettes have never really appealed to me. This has a lot of different shades though. I might give it a try.
Cult Commerce and Boxycharm collaboration nail polish line
This claims to be valued at $21. These are really pretty polish colors for this time of year!
Be a Bombshell Eyeshadow
This is a full size single eyeshadow valued at $14. It is a really vibrant purple. I found it slightly chalky and powdery, and I already own a lot of purple eyeshadows. So, I'm going to trade this one I think.
Starlooks Ultra Gem Pencils
This is a full size eyeliner worth $14. The info card says that this can be slender out and used as an eyeshadow base as well. It's an interesting color. I'll definitely have to play around with it a little bit.
The Verdict:
This is not even close to being my favorite Boxycharm, but I am really excited about the serum. Overall, this box has a value of $116.95, and I only payed $21! Like I said, I think Boxycharm has some of the best value boxes. Want to sign up? You should!! You won't regret it! You can sign up here.
Are you already subscribed? What was your favorite thing in the box? Were you more impressed with this box than I was?

Glossybox October 2014
Glossybox is a monthly beauty subscription box. It is $21 a month. You can sign up here.
Here's what I got in my October Glossybox:
Tarte Power Pigment in Flush
This is a full size product worth $24. I was really excited about this, and was glad to see it is a color I will wear! It is definitely a bright red, but I like it! I believe the other color some people received was awakening, which looks like more of a pink.
Proganix Volume Root Boost Finish + Body Builder
This is a full size product worth $11.99. You are supposed to apply this to damp hair and then style. I've already tried this product, and it was alright. I noticed that it did give me some volume, but it wasn't enough to be super impressed with this product. I am going to keep experimenting with it and see if it gets better.
Nails Inc. Westminister Bridge Matte Top Coat
This is a full size product worth $10. This top coat turns any nail polish into a matte nail polish. It is said to turn even the shiniest polish matte. I think this is really cool! However, I am not a fan of matte nails on myself, so this will probably get swapped.
Vince Camuto Amore De Parfum
This is a sample size worth $12 (A 3.4 oz is worth $78). I think this was a really decent sample size for a perfume! It should last a while! The only thing that I don't like is that you can't spray it or roll it on. It reminds me of my mom's perfumes that she wore when I was little where she dabbed it on. It's not terrible though. I can get over that. It's a pretty nice scent too. It's not what I normally gravitate towards, but I like it!
Sesha Botanical Hydro Mask
This is a full size (one packet) worth $9. The other mask you could have received was the Cell-White Brightening Mask. I didn't really have a preference for which one I received. I am excited to try this though!! It sounds great.
The Verdict:
I think this may be one of the best GlossyBoxes I've every received. I can't wait to start using these products! Want a Glossybox? You can sign up here. Already Subscribed? How did you feel about this month. Were you pleased?

Allure Sample Society Box October 2014
Allure Sample Society is a monthly box for $15 a month. I'm told that it usually includes high end products, but this month did not have mainly high end. This is my first month subscribed to this box, and I enjoyed it! I am looking forward to next month! Each box also comes with a mini magazine that tells you all about the products in the box. You can sign up here.
Here is what was in the October 2014 box:
Estée Lauder Enlighten Dark Spot Correcting Night Serum
I am excited to try this product! I have heard great things! I hope this size is big enough to see if it really makes a difference or not though. The directions say to put it all over your face, not just in one spot. We'll see!
Bond NO. 9 Perfume in ChinaTown
I believe each person received one of three perfume choices (High Line, Chelsea Flowers, or ChinaTown). The description says Chinatown blends peach blossom with gardenia, peony, tuberose, cardamom, and spicy woods. I did not love this scent, but it isn't terrible. I'll try it out for a little bit before I make my final decision.
L'Oréal Paris Advanced Haircare Total Repair 5 Restoring Shampoo and Conditioner
This was one of the products that I was most bummed about. Allure is supposed to be higher end brands, and I got samples of a shampoo I can buy in a drugstore. I felt like this really lowered the value of the box. That being said, they are products that I will actually use. I took them on a trip with me last week, and liked them.
Emi-Jay hair ties
These are the stretchy hair bands that are supposed to not leave a crease in your hair. I've owned this hair bands from many different brands, and they leave a crease in my hair every time. I don't know if there is a trick to it, or if my hair is just stubborn. Needless to say, I put my hair up a lot, so these will be used.
Bobbi Brown Smokey Eye Mascara in Black
We saved the best for last! This is definitely the product I was most excited about in this box. I've never tried a Bobbi Brown mascara, so I am excited to try this one!

Ipsy October 2014
Ipsy is a $10 monthly subscription box. It includes samples of make-up and skincare items as well as a cosmetic bag. When you sign up you take a quiz, and they send you items that they think you will like! You can sign up to receive an ipsy bag here. Here is what I received in my October ipsy bag: 
This is the bag that everyone received this month. When I saw it online I was a little disappointed, but I am totally obsessed with it already! It is the perfect size, and it a really cool teal color. I already had lip products in it, and the bag in my purse not more than an hour after it showed up at my door. I'm obsessed! 
Noyah lipstick in the color Deeply in Mauve The website says that this is a semi-matte lipstick with a cream finish. I have yet to wear it, but I will definitely be wearing it this fall. It is a great color for this time of the year! 
Figs and Rouge Hand Cream in Mango Mandarin I have a very large collection of lotions and hand creams due to subscription boxes, but it is always a product that I know I will use! This smells pretty good too. 
Ecru New York Acacia Protein BB Cream This is a product for your hair. It is supposed to hydrate, repair, and condition. It says that it is great for all hair types. I don't know about this, but I will definitely give it a try. 
Épicé International Purifying Exfoliant I am always up for new skin care products, so I am excited to try this exfoliant! 
NYC New York Color Big Bold Curl Mascara I have way too many mascaras right now, so this one probably won't be opened for a while. I love mascaras though, so I am excited to try this one!
What did you get in your ipsy bag? Was this a good month for this subscription? I think it was!
