The Look Bag - March

Hey beauty lovers! I'm back for another Look Bag review. I haven't tried everything yet so this will be a quick info post.  I wasn't too happy with this month's back since it's all geared towards skincare (and anti-aging ones at that).  I also wasn't very thrilled because the only makeup product was the full-size product, which would normally be great but it's a nude lip liner. I rarely use lip products let alone liners.

1. Indie Lee - Squaline Face Oil around (this bottle didn't have a size label)  Indie Lee's website says this is for diminishing fine lines and anti-aging
2. Cattiva Nude Lip Liner retails at $20 I will probably include this in my giveaway!
3. SheaTerra Rose Hips Black Soap 1oz. I'm excited for this sample, i've heard great things about it. And apparently Dr. Oz promotes it too :)
4. Glam Glow .24oz.  This is a mud mask, and smells great. I haven't tried it yet but i'm pretty excited to. However it will probably only last 2 applications
5. Frownies - this is ridiculous in my opinion. I can see that this is a good and respectable product, however everyone got one in their Look Bag this month regardless of what their age is. I'm 24 and there's no need for this.  If anyone is interested in this please let me know and I will add it to my giveaway (or just send it to you anyway!)

Was this worth $10? In my opinion no. Considering i'm only going to use 2 of the products and they're not even that big!

For those of you who are interest in joining, this was just MY bag. Others got different items (really neat hand made soaps and lip glosses and eye brow products). So there are very good things about the Look Bag, this bag just wasn't suitable for me since I don't wear lip liner or have aging skin right now!

The Look Bag (February) Review

So now that I've (almost) tried everything out in my LookBag I'm going to review it!

First, the Suki Soap. While I love the smell of this soap it was a little strange when I used it.  Afterward my skin felt almost sticky...like there was some kind of resistance to water. Almost like it had coated my skin.  However, the stickiness went away once I got out of the shower and it actually moisturized better than any other soap I have. I didn't feel the need to put tons of lotion on (since I have pretty dry skin in the winter). All in all I say it's definitely something I'll continue using till it's used up, but since I'm not a fan of bars of soap I probably won't buy a full sized product.

The KTO eye cream has a strange application. It's extremely liquidy at first, but once I put it on it just would NOT absorb into my skin. Some of it would, but a lot of it just piled into a weird pool of creme that I had to pat off with a tissue. Other than that it moisturized well and it did seem to brighten my dark circles (at least temporarily).  I won't know for sure until I've been using it for a few weeks. The bright side is that it will last me about a month since I barely have to use any at all each time! Overall I think this is a good product, if it actually works then I may invest in a full size bottle.

The Cailyn Eyeliner is AMAZING. I've never had a gel eyeliner and this was so easy to use, the built in brush was great, and it's definitely waterproof and long lasting! I barely had to put any on the brush to cover my whole top lash line. This product alone was worth the $10 the whole bag cost! Especially since it retails at $21.

I've never put on gel eyeliner before so this photo may not do the product justice!

Here's a picture of the eyeliner, I didn't want to put too much on or any on my lower lash line since I'm not going out and just put it on for this picture. I'd rather save it for when I go out of my house haha. I used so little though that I have a feeling this will last me at least a month of everyday wear.

The Look Bag - February 2012

Today I received my first ever subscription beauty box (or in this case, bag) in the mail! I'm extremely excited, especially because it ended up being better than I had expected. So far I'm the only one that I know of that has received slightly different products in their bag. I believe this is because I signed up at the last minute and they probably ran out of the original samples. So they ended up giving me 2 samples from last months box, which is great for me because I REALLY wanted some of the samples from the last box! However, there was one product from this month that I didn't receive that I actually wanted: the Gingerbread Caffeine exfoliating soap by S.S. Soap Co.  I LOVE coffee, I live off of it and I was a Barista for years, and I'm absolutely convinced that caffeine fixes everything :).  I'll probably buy this on the Look Store anyway.

I haven't tried anything out yet, but once I do i'll be giving them separate reviews. I'll post my initials responses to the products though.

 The products came in a pink organza bag which I will probably use for storage or use to gift someone something.

 I put a quarter (if you can tell that's what it is) to show the size of these products.
KTO's Organic Vitality Rose and Cucumber Eye Cream.  The card that came with the package says that it's meant for aiding in micro circulation which reduces dark circles and puffiness.
My Thoughts: I'm REALLY excited about this, I love eye creams and I hate my dark circles. I've also been looking for an all over eye moisturizer so this is great.
Price: $30/1.18 fl Oz.  So the value of my 10ml sample is $8.39 

2.  Also seen in the picture above is the Suki Sensitive Cleansing Bar. A moisturizing cleansing bar made for the body and face and %100 percent natural and vegan.
My Thoughts: I'm pretty excited about this product since it can also be used for the whole body (I'm not much of a face cleanser person since I don't have problem areas there...yet).  It smells great too since it's made with lemongrass!  I can't wait to use this, however I've never actually used a bar soap before so this should be interesting!
Price: $3.96 member price

 3. Cailyn Gel Eyeliner in Black (plus bonus loose shadows to mix with). Long lasting, smudge proof and waterproof gel eyeliner with brush attached.
My Thoughts: This is a full sized product, which is great!  I've been looking for a gel eyeliner so I'm dying to try this out
Price: Retail is $21, for LookBag members it's $16.80.  So my value is $16.80 + the cost of the loose powders.

4/5. Obliphica Hairkop Treatment and Shadow Shields. The hair treatment is a serum for damaged and dry hair.  The shadow shields are used to keep your eye makeup from falling on other parts of your skin (while putting on eyeshadow etc).
My Thoughts: I'm not too crazy about either one of these...to be honest I probably won't use either. Maybe I'll use the hair treatment since I have it, but I don't have dry or damaged hair. I also don't wear eyeshadow so the shields don't do much for me.
Price: $23.96/2.20z Hairkop Treatment.  My Value: $1.09 for 3ml. 
Price: $7.99 for 30 shields. My Value: $0.53 for 2.  

6. Jus D'Amour Perfume. Blend of coco palm, aqualeaf, Tahitian vanilla, and sandalwood.
My Thoughts: I love this scent! It's everything I want out of a perfume.  Unfortunately it's a bit pricey for me...
Price: $35.20 for 1/8oz.  My Gucci perfume cost 51 for 1oz!
I'm not sure how much was in the little vial but I believe it was probably 1ml which would make My Value: around $11.73.  But I'm not quite sure.

So my bag valued at around $43 + the two loose shadows.

So yes, I will be keeping the subscription for at least another month!
