After another week of tying out the rest of the products I got in my Beauty Test Tube , here are the results. This is suppose to be a temporary fix to sagging eye lids. They claim to "erase the signs of aging" and provide an "instant eye lift" without surgery. These medical grade "strips" are to be applied to the eyes? Yeah, that's as far as I got. I can't imagine being so vain that I would buy these things, and apply them every day. And what happens on days that you don't use them. Come on, I don't want to look like Joan Rivers! I'll just age gracefully, thank you. Glo-therapeutics-gentle cream cleanser:This cleanser contains natural ingredients and antioxidants; cleanses the skin gently and even removes eye make-up. No fragrance, no burning of the eyes. This product I'm really enjoying. The size that came in the test tube was a 2 oz. pump. I use 4 pumps for my entire face and neck. Full size product is 6.7 oz. and ...

A new feature, that I love, is that you can pick out what products you want, instead of just choosing a curated box or just swapping out from a curated box with certain selections. With this improvement, I opted for all make-up this month. A nice compact, but nothing that special about these eye shadows. But Julep does make the BEST gel eye glider crayons I've ever tried. I got a teal and the new radiant amethyst. Till next time!

So I thought it's time to try a new beauty subscription box. I opted for the "New Beauty Test Tube" . This subscription service claims to send you 5 or 6 beauty items- some of them full size, and some trial/travel sizes. Beauty Test tube ships 6 times a year, (every other month) for a price of $29.95, plus $8.95 shipping, plus sales tax. So it cost me $41.00 total. I'm not so thrilled having to pay such a high shipping fee, as most subscription boxes include shipping in their total price or offer free shipping. Sales tax too? Come on. You could look at it this way too: Divided per month it runs about $20.50. What I got: I'm only going to talk about the products I've already tried with updates to follow. First up is dr. brandt-needles no more: an "instant wrinkle relaxer". NOT. I used it on my under eye area (where I only have slight lines anyway). What the product does do is dry out my skin in that area. Plus the tube is so tiny; (like ...

Here's a couple of treasuries that I found myself featured in. Can you find my jewelry? Enjoy, and remember to share the love!

Cute, sleek outer packaging. I decided to try four. Coastal Scents always sends their products in a pretty organza bag, usually with a sample. This one I got is a blush duo. The new lipstick packaging is a rose gold tube. Making the lipsticks fancy in appearance, as well as making them look more expensive. These retail for only $3.95 each. I got mine on sale for $2.95 each. On the Coastal Scents website, they claim to be, "long lasting creamy lipsticks that are paraben free". The shades I picked: #06- A very sheer silvery beige #02- A sheer neutral pink #10- A darker medium red with golden glittery undertones making it more of a wine shade #14- A sheer peach These new lipsticks claim to be creamy; they do glide going on, and I would consider them to be creamy. They are sheer colors-the ones I chose, except for #10 which has the richest color pay-off. The colors do transfer, so you'll have to reapply throughout the day. As for the "long lasting"...

Thank you, Gina and Crystal, for including my orange carnelian earrings in this fun summer treasury!
