Beauty Review: May 2012: Glymm Box

I'm sure a lot of you have already seen the May Glymm Box reveal over youtube and various blogs. So, I am just going to show you what I got. This is my first Glymm box, this is their 'going green' edition, instead of a glossy pink box, it came in a pink makeup bag. I'm hoping this is only for 1 month, as I would not know what to do with multiple makeup bags.

Coola spf 30 Cucumber mineral face sunblock matte finish, hypoallergenic, paraben free (which I like), perfect primer. I definitely need primer for my oily skin, as my makeup tends to slide off my face if I don't use it. Just by reading the description of this product it sounds like a BB Cream. I will have to test it out and let you guys know if I like it. I wish the sample was a little bit bigger so that I could at least get 7-10 days worth of product, that way I could truly see how my problematic skin reacts to it.

I'm very excited about these 3 Caudalie samples that I received this month. I've heard nothing but great reviews on all their products. But most of the great reviews were from gurus with dry and/or normal skin. So I'm not quite sure how my skin will react to these two pyramid samples for sensitive and dehydrated skin. The rose pink pyramid contains Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet for Sensitive Skin. The blush pink pyramid contains Vinosource SOS Thirst Quenching Serum for Dehydrated Skin. These are both rather small samples, may only be enough for 1-2 uses, we'll see if it is too oily for my skin or not.The third sample is almost half the size of the full size one. It is the Vinexpert Anti-Ageing Serum for Eyes and Lips. I'm not sure if I will use this for my lips, as I tend to breakout around my lips from my oily skin, not sure how my skin around my lips would react to this product either. I would definitely use this as an eye serum as I do have sensitive dry skin around my eyes, this would be a great way to test out this serum.

This product is a full size sample. I got a Cargo eyeshadow duo in Vienna. It has a beautiful glittery peach and deep plum colour. It is pigmented and the colour is buildable. Great for a daytime smoky eye. This duo retails for $25, which definitely pays for this month Glymm box.

ck one SHOCK for him & for her was received this month. I really like the women's scent. And Beau tried the men's version and he really likes it too. He has officially added this to his cologne collection :) Sorry Beau already took the sample out of the cardboard pamphlet, I couldn't find it anywhere. Hence, there is only a photo of the women's version.

Last but not least NuMe Hydro Punch Hydrating Conditioner, although my scalp gets oily quickly, my hair is still dry and damaged at the ends. This is from years of heat & chemical processing. I will write a review on this sample after a few tries.

Hope you all enjoyed reading my review on the May 2012 Glymm Box. Have a great week and happy reading :)

Fashion & Lifestyle Favourites for May

Loving this clear plastic BPA free re-useable cup with straw combo. I think it really helps me drink more water also. It reminds me of my childhood, the good ol' fountain drink. Sippy cup for adults.

Am I the only one that missed the Aldo boot sale? Well technically I didn't miss it, they just sold out of my style and size of boots. But I managed to snag these hot neon pink flats from the outlet on Granville. They were on sale for $30 what a Steal :)

I'm obsessed over these BB Begonia re-usable shopping bags, they're great for carrying groceries, library books to your gym clothes. They are super light weight and sturdy. They also fold up into a small bundle that you can stash into your purse.

I'm currently liking this game, it reminds me of digital pictionary. Am I totally aging myself or giving off hints of what my age is or what? I do love this game, as I love drawing. I just wish some of my opponents wouldn't cheat and write the word out *shrug* but hey, it's just a game. :) Come find me on Draw Something: DontWayMe

Another favourite in the game category. Tiny Tower reminds me of Sims. I really enjoy the simplicity of this cyber community. You can play with your friends too. Come find me on Tiny Tower: vivi0514

Ipod/Iphone application that I have been loving for a while now. Instagram, you take quick snap shots and you can use the built in filters to enhance the photo, you can do some simple editing. Simple and perfect for me. I'm loving it :) Come find me on Instagram: @maydaychic

Above the Timberline has the most beautiful lyrics I've ever read. I'm really liking this album. :)

I get a little tired
Looking through the trees
Sitting on the 405
Hoping for a breeze

Everybody's gunning
You got something to see
I gotta sell this ticket
Get the shadow off of me

So what is your problem
You been moping around
You need to find a mountaintop
And get out of this town

She says sometimes
You gotta get away
Clear out that noggin
Open up the day

Above the timberline
The higher I go, the harder I climb
I'm closer to you
it's clear in my mind
Love shines bright
above the timberline

Things get slower
When it's harder to breath
I can almost touch the stars
That are hanging over me

You've never been more beautiful
And it's easy to see
All that really matters
you're all I'll ever need
I'm getting to the home
At the top of the world
Leading to realities
Up down at the curb

Oh the noise between us,
Now it can't be heard
I'm listening to the wind
I'm writing down the words

Above the timberline
The higher I go, the harder I climb
I'm closer to you
it's clear in my mind
Love shines bright
above the timberline

Now I'll be coming home,
I'll be coming home soon
Before I head on down
I'm gonna kiss the moon

Above the timberline
The higher I go, the harder I climb
I'm closer to you
it's clear in my mind
Love shines bright
above the timberline

Above the timberline
No heading up race, no
waiting in line
The farther I go
The harder you climb
Love shines bright
above the timberline
