August 2012 Birchbox ! @ 1:56 PM

Hello hello :)!

I've been trying all day to get in all the material I've been preparing months for but, never got around to. Although this is my first post about Birchbox, I have been apart of this subscription service for about 4 months or so already but, I just never got the chance to blog between school and life! Hopefully now I can keep you beauties updated and vice versa! If you guys would still like to view what I've received previously for comparison just let me know and I will be happy to post!

Overview of birchbox: Subscription service of sample size, deluxe sized or full sized products each month for $10 each month. https://www.birchbox.com?raf=31wqh

Okayyyyy... so drum roll... pleaseeeee....

August 2012 Birchbox- Beauty School Edition





Products included:
Fusion Beauty: Lash Fusion XL: In my recent drugstore makeup haul (which I will be posting hopefully next)... I picked up a couple mascaras because I have yet to find the one... but, you never know this one just might be it! Full size $24

Juicy Couture: Viva la Juicy La Fleur: This is honestly one of my favorite parts of the box although it is a sample size because I have two of the other Juicy Couture perfumes and I just ADORE them! Full size $70

SHU UEMURA Art of Hair: Cleansing Oil Shampoo: I have never tried products from this brand but lately the weather is beyonddd humid here and my hair gets oily quickly as it is! Wonder if this works as it says it does? Any thoughts? Full size $55

Yu-Be: Mousturizing Skin Cream: I mean you can never have too much cream right? LOL What's great about this one is the size because I can just pop this into my purse and one really dry days touch up my legs and possibly elbows when I want to show off some skin! Full size $16

Shick Razor: No lie, lately I've been trying out razors but not necessarily on purpose but solely because  the times I've gone to Walmart I've been able to snag some good name brand razors on clearance instead of having to opt for the cheap pack that brings a ton but also brings a ton of expected cuts. And everyone knows razor cuts aren't a whole lot of fun -__- Est. Full size $10+


All in all I haven't been 'WOWED' by Birchbox but I guess some times you may end up liking something you may have never tried had it not been for the sample. Overall, for $10 a month if you are up for the surprise and can spare the extra cash it's worth giving a try. If you know of any other subscription services you recommend feel free to comment below or how you feel about the products.

MAC STYLE SEEKER HAUL & SWATCHES @ 12:13 PM

BEAUTIES! BEAUTIES! BEAUTIES!

It's another MAC purchase! :x I know, I know. I may be going a bit over board but I cannot help all these precious colors being released lately. This recent purchase is from the Style Seeker collection. When I heard about this Fall release I was SO eager to find swatches and picture right away. Thankfully, I find a couple online and via instagram because there were early unveilings at certain MAC stores. I then called the Pro store in my area and they informed me they would have it yesterday at 11am.... and as excited as I was I had my boyfriend join me for the little trip early in the morning and got my hands on some goodies!

(Second photo used from chicprofile.com)


I initially purchased three blushes...and one lipglass which is permanent at MAC (C-Thru).
Worldly Wealth, Hidden Treasure & Supercontinental !

All of these blushes are BEYOND BEAUTIFULLY PIGMENTED! THESE ARE A MUST!

As I mentioned these are just a couple of what I INTIALLY purchased... but, once I got home I started dreaming about the wonderful lipsticks they released as well. Unfortunately, those have no arrived yet being as though I ordered them online last night. If you girls are interested visit maccosmetics.com and use the code NOMAD for FREE TWO DAY SHIPPING. Which is beyond awesome! Feel free to share what you've picked up I'd love to see maybe something I overlooked.

MAC Haul pt.1 - MAC BY REQUEST @ 10:53 AM

Good afternoon beauties! 
So, I am beyond excited to post my "first" documented haul! Lately, there has been back to back releases, or so it seems, with MAC collections. Of course, I am the ultimate sucker for "limited edition" items to add to my collection. MAC recently decided to re-introduce the Candy Yum-Yum lipstick which was previously released back in 2008 with the 'Quite Cute' collection. Back when Quite Cute released I still had not ventured out into the lipstick world so I had just started collecting and experimenting with MAC blushes so I had only picked up the blushes along with plushglass which I will blog about if you'd like to see those precious babies! Any who, back to the MAC BY REQUEST! This release contained 3 lipsticks, 3 lipglasses, and 3 eye-shadows. Right now my obsessions have not reached the lipglass hype yet... hence, I picked up the 3 lipsticks ( Candy Yum-Yum, Moxie & Rocker) along with the 3 eyeshadows ( Moth Brown, Guacamole, & Jeté ).

READY FOR SOME PICTURES ! ;D I know I am! The payoff these colors give is honestly incredible! See for yourself...














Rocker, Moxie & Candy Yum-Yum !




































I decided to take swatches under different lighting in order for you girls to appreciate the color pay off and how truly beautiful they are!

I hope you guys enjoyed this post although it was brief!

Hello! Aloha! Buon giorno! @ 9:57 AM

Welcome beauties! Legally, I'm know as Bibiana but for as long as I could remember people have nick named Bibi or B. I've started this blog as an outlet where I can experiment with my fashion ideas and learn from all of you as well. In no way am I an expert nor do I think any one is. I believe fashion is a means of expression and reflects each individuals unique identity. I am so excited to see everyone's different personal styles. Feel free to comment and contact me! <3
