December And January Top Boxes! (Benefit They're Real Edition)

It's almost surreal how quickly January has gone by! I have so many things planned for this new year, and I hope to share a good deal of those things with all of you! I had to wait to share my December subscriptions, because I was away from home. So, I decided to couple my December and January Top Boxes together. December's Top Box was what they call a privé box, it's a special box that you can pick from a set list each month, and it features various brands and all sorts of different items. I've only opted for these boxes when Benefit is an option, because I usually don't care for the other items offered. If you decide you don't want a privé box, you can simply choose to have the regular box to be sent to you.

My December Box was the Benefit They're Real Privé Box

• Gimme Brow in Light/Medium
• They're Real Remover
• Roller Lash Mascara
• They're Real Mascara
• They're Real Tinted Eyelash Primer

What drew me to this box was the gimme brow and the tinted primer. I'm really interested in giving them a try and maybe even doing a review.

January's Box was the normal Top Box

• Hask Macadamia Oil Hair Treatment
• Teeze Read My Lips Lipstick in Roulette Red
• SeaRx Birch Sap Moisturizing Lotion
• Elizabeth Arden Prevage Anti-Aging Antioxidant Hydrating Essence

Hair Mask

Penetrates the hair shaft, restores moisture, and strengthens hair. 50g $1.77 Available at HaskBeauty.com

I can't wait to try this out the next time I wash my hair! I'm always into trying out new hair products, and if this is any good, it's super affordable! Win Win in my book!

Lipstick

This long lasting lipstick combines the power of highly-pigmented coverage and unique satin, matte finish. The lipstick's smooth, ultra creamy texture and added coconut oil extract nourishes and hydrates the lips, with color that lasts for up to 8 hours. 2g $28.94 Available at TeezeCosmetics.com

I have a read my lips lipstick and I love it! I'm excited about this gorgeous red, because I'm trying to be more bold in my lip choices.

Lotion

Apply everywhere you have skin, whenever you need moisturizer. Non-comedogenic. 118ml $42.11 Available at SeaRxBeauty.com

I'm not keen on using this, mainly because of the caution label on the tube.. Caution: Keep out of reach of children. For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Rinse thoroughly with water in case of contact. Not for use by children under the age of 18. Store at controlled room temperature of 15 degrees Celsius to 30 degrees Celsius. Not for use by women who may be pregnant or are nursing. That's quite a list of caution for a cream.. No thanks... 

Elizabeth Arden

From Arden Active Skincare, this refreshing essence infuses the skin with an advanced hydration and antioxidants, It leaves skin feeling soft, smooth ad perfectly conditioned. 140ml $120 Available at Hudson's Bay

To me, this looks like an overpriced toner.. I highly doubt I'll be purchasing this after I use up the sample..

Happy New Year!

Hello there!

It's been a while since my last post, mostly because I wanted to enjoy my time with my friends and family while I was back home. I enjoyed Blogmas, and I hope you did as well! It was at times stressful trying to think of something new and interesting to talk about everyday, and if I decide to do it again next year, I'm definitely making a list of sorts with topics to talk about instead of flying by the seat of my pants haha! I hope you all have had a wonderful new year, I know I did! My sister and I took a road trip down south to visit Disneyland for a couple days, and it was so much fun! It was massively crowded on New Year's Eve, but I don't regret swimming through a sea of people to celebrate New Years with my sister at the happiest place on earth! We had so much fun and made so many memories!

I thought I would share a few goals I want for this new year: (in no particular order)

• I want to travel more, to experience new things, and to see new places
• I want to live healthier by eating better and sticking to a gym schedule (which is something I started around the end of 2015, but I want to be more serious about it)
• I want a career that I love, and that I can grow into, not just a job
• I want to read more
• I want to spend more time with people that matter most to me
• I want to blog more and be more consistent 
• I want to get back into hobbies I used to enjoy
• I want to be the best version of me

These aren't just for the new year, they're lifestyle changes I hope to achieve and carry on. 

What are some things you want to do or change for the new year or just in general??
