Manicure Monday - Mini Egg Nails!

I have been trying to get back in to my regular routines, but last week was a little rough for me and I am still trying to play catch up! So instead of nail painting, I enjoyed a family dinner and an early to bed night (it was worth it!).

I'm feeling Easter this week for my Mani:

Mini eggs!! These are the BEST Easter treats by far!! (and I will gladly enjoy eating these all now!)

Skincare Sunday - Baviphat Strawberry Toxifying Mask Product Review

If you are a regular reader, then you probably already know, I have a slight obsession with face masks of any kind! I use them minimally twice a week (usually a fair bit more often!). If you haven't seen my nightly skin care routine post, you can view it here to see where you should incorporate masks in to your nightly routine! 

Sometimes I have no better reason for purchasing a product, except that the packaging is too cute to resist! That is the sole reason I selected this gem:

Baviphat Strawberry Toxifying Mask ~ $15 - $20. A Strawberry?! I die, how cute is this thing?! I decided whatever it was, I had to have it!! And even better when it turned out to be a clay mask! 

March 2015 - Birchbox Canada Sample Beauty Subscription Box Review

Birchbox is the original sample beauty box and has been in the U.S.A. since 2010 - and this is only the 4th month it has been available in Canada. It is $10 a month + $4.95 shipping to Canada (you can save money by signing up for a year for $100 + shipping costs). Each month you receive 5 sample (or full size) products based on a beauty profile you complete.

Birchbox Canada describes itself as:
"Five personalized beauty samples delivered right to your door each month. It’s the best way to find the products you’ll love."

(It should be noted that if you see the U.S. Birchbox - Canadian's receive different products. I hope this expands and we get access to all the products available to out American counterparts soon! I like that some boxes (such as Ipsy and Glossybox) offer the exact boxes to Canadians - I am hoping Birchbox does the same at some point!)

Here is the March 2015 Birchbox Canada:

I'm so excited that this month each Canadian Birchbox has a Beauty Blender in it!!

March 2015 Beauteque BB Bag Review

Beauteque is an American company that focuses on creating a beauty bag with Asian Beauty products. Beauteque has piloted their BB Bags for a few months since July, before launching the full subscription service. This is their third bag - January was the first month!

Shipping per month is $3.95 for the U.S., $5.95 to Canada, and $8.95 to Europe. The value of each BB bag will be $65-$85.

Beauteque allows to customize a few products in the bag and the rest of the products will be a surprise! This month we got to select the scent of perfume mist, eyebrow pencil, and a type of cream.
