A Great Start To The Day...

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

Good Day Puddin' Cups!
Hope everyone has been well!

I'm here today to discuss an amazing product I've had the pleasure of testing.
I received a Keurig K55 Coffee Maker along with a 2.0 Carousel,
Green Mountain Coffee K-Cups, Celestial Tea K-Cups, and a Keurig K-Cup filter!


I've always been a big coffee person. I usually brew the whole pot.
That's about ten cups or more, and I normally store most of it away for 
later consumption. 

Brewing one cup at a time however has reminded me how 
refreshing a freshly brewed cup can be. I like the option of a small
brew or a big old cup of joe. It was extremely easy to set up and just
as easy to use. The K-Cups alone make it a breeze. I'm also loving the options
and quick set up. The brew is fast so switching from coffee to tea or a hot chocolate
is as brisk as snapping in a K-Cup. I have to say, it's become my morning best
friend!


Not only is it functional, but it's extremely stylish and sits pretty on my counter!
I love the modern and slick look.

If I had any negatives I'd have to say this is better for a one person or a couple home. 
Making a cup at a time isn't a problem for me or my boyfriend but I am pretty sure in
a big home full of busy bodies it be a little difficult in regards to patience. 

I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

Good Day Puddin' Cups!

Hope your January is finishing up nicely!

Today's topic.... KawaiiBox!

I am one among many who is obsessed with all things cute. I did a lot of research on this one!
I found several subscriptions, but I have to say Blippo was the best candidate. You get ten to
twelve adorably cute items a month for $18.90 a month. Items run from stationary to plushies.
Tasty treats, accessories, and more! I must say... I am obsessed! I can't wait for next month!
Not only do you have an option for a month subscription to a year plan, they also have a store
that carries the items you receive! If you like the stickers, but really want the other design
offered you can just log in and order them. This would also be a great gift idea for a fellow
kawaii lover in your life!

For more information you can check out their site here : http://www.kawaiibox.com/

Ipsy - January 2015 - Fresh Start

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆x☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

(Warning Picture Heavy Post Ahead)

Good Day Puddin' Cups!

Are you ready for more spam?! Are you?! ARE YOU?!

Today's second topic.... Ipsy!

Ipsy is a monthly beauty subscription box, or in its case subscription bag. It comes with
five items, sample to full size. It is $10.00 a month, $10.89 after taxes in my case. You
take a quiz to determine the products you get sent. If you don't want to get something
specific you can click it off your test, but it does not guarantee you will not ever receive it.
Be for warned. Every month you also get a make up bag designed for the months theme.
I've been getting these for a while and have been loving the products thus far. I also enjoy
that they introduce you to new companies and items. I enjoy the sample size because I
don't need to have so much of something if I end up not caring for it. I am still a make
up newbie, although I've been doing my own for years. You get your own profile on
their site and if you refer others you receive points that you can then use to get additional
items. They also hook you up with emails on discounts, which is fabulous if you catch them!
You can always go on a group and trade your items as well. I will do my best to use the items
before posting.


For more information you can check out their site here : http://www.ipsy.com

January 2015 - Fresh Start

Every month your bag will come like this. 
I love the colour and the shimmer is just nngh!
I do appreciate that it is packed small, but secure.

Every bag comes with a post card.
It will describe the months theme, words of
encouragement, and where you can post selfies
to show off your glam!

I enjoyed this months post card. 
Simple but cute!

This months bag fits Fresh Start. 
It is a refreshing blue, white, and coral mix.
The material feels like Vinyl, and makes
me think more of summer...

This is the white side.

I do like the Coral colour, and I do
like the new additional charm with Ipsy
written on it.

La Fresh Eco-Beauty
Good Day. Day Moisturizer
Sample Size
Approx. Value : $40.00 for 1.7 oz Full Size
This product is suppose to help with anti-aging,
moisturizing, and has friendly ingredients.
I tried this once and did not like it at all.
It felt like it was burning my skin. I am willing
to try it again just to make sure it wasn't just me.
I will keep you guys posted if anything.

I do like the packaging, very efficient.

This is what it looks like, no sticky after feel. 
Smooth application. 

(Malin+Goetz)
Mojito Lip Balm
Full Size
Approx. Value : $12.00 for .20 oz Full Size
I love this, especially for the weather outside.
It does have a mojito like smell, lemony mint
It is very refreshing, and leaves my lips
feeling happy and moisterized.

Vaseline like texture, clear colour.

Hikari Cosmetics
Mechanical Eye Liner
Full Size
Approx. Value : $13.00 for Full Size
Color - Storm
I love eye liner, and this is a really nice colour.
Just not a colour I'd prefer. I have not fully tried it
outside of swapping. I will give an update when 
and if I do.

Outside the box. Slim and slick.

Better close up of the colour.

Manna Kadar Cosmetics
Sheer Glo
Bronzer and Highlighters
Full Size
Approx. Value : $29.00 for 1 oz Full Size
Color - Universal Shade
This leaves your skin with a lovely glow.
I actually really like this, it works perfectly
as a highlighter! I also do believe it would work
well for any skin tone. Looks like it has a tint of pink.

Pacifica
Natural Mineral Coconut Eye Shadow
Sample 
Approx. Value : $14.00 for a Palette Full Size
Color - Treasure
This is a lovely colour. I really like the shade. The cons
to me are... It's another highlight colour or base colour. I
would of appreciated a different colour for this one as well.
The packaging feels very cheap as well. The rub is smooth,
not much fallout. Could be a bit more pigmented. 

The design is beautiful, and light. Actual packaging
could be better. But at least the product stays in place.

Looks a bit grainy but it is actually very soft.

Here are the swatches on my skin from top to bottom :
Pacifica Natural Minera Coconut Eye Shadow - Treasure
Manna Kadar Cosmetics Sheer Glo - Universal
Hikari Cosmetics - Storm

Overall I like three out of five. I will give the
moisterizer a second try and the eye liner a real attempt.
When I make an update blog I'll be sure to let you guys
know if it is at all worth it. 
_._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._

If you have any questions please feel free to ask and I'd get to you as soon as I possibly can.

Thank you so much for sticking around, I do appreciate good company!
I hope you can join me again, until then ciao ^o^/)!

Loot Crate - January 2015 - Rewind

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆x☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

Good Day Puddin' Cups!

I hope your New Year is going pretty well! Time sure is flying huh!? 
We are already on the 28th of January!? Where is it all going?!

Anymeer~! Today's first topic.... LOOT CRATE!

I first subscribed to Loot Crate as an early Valentine’s day gift for my boyfriend last year. 
I got the idea from a friend, thank you Jess, and thought to myself it be a great idea 
for someone who is really into geeky things. My boyfriend didn't have many collectable 
items and I felt this would be the best way of correcting that! A good start up per say. 
Boy was I pleasantly surprised! So much so I've kept it for the whole year.

Loot Crate is a monthly subscription that provides you with geeky and gamer related
goodies. It's, as described plenty of times before, like receiving a present every month!
You can subscribe for a single month plan for $19.37, three month plan for $55.11,
or a six month plan for $105.99. These charges are after applying shipping and handling.
It might sound pricey but the goodies make up for the charge, especially since they give
out plenty of Loot Crate Exclusives! If you want to give it a try you can use my referral 
and get a $3.00 off discount on your first subscription. Or you can use the theme code 
provided on their site for the month. I will try and update with the months theme so 
you can interpret whether it be worth it for that month.


For more information you can check out their site here : https://www.lootcrate.com/

January 2015 - REWIND

When you receive your box it should look a lot like this.
Depending on the items it might be a bit smaller, wider, maybe
a tad bigger. More often than not it is a black box embellished
with its name and logo

Voltron Blueprint Tee
Loot Crate Exclusive
Approx. Value : $15.00
Artist - Flophouse
The picture does not give this shirt justice. It is a black, thin, 
and form fitting t-shirt with an awesome blue print design of the defender 
of the universe ; VOLTRON! I hope to show it off sometime 
soon, keep watch on my Instagram for that ^_^!

10-Doh! Mini Figure
Loot Crate Exclusive
Approx. Value : $10.00
http://www.squidkidsink.com/
Some Assembly is required here!
Watch out for this little guy! He's going to sit on my computer
when I get my at home work area completely set up. 
The cartridge I got was a play on Back to the Future.

Look at this cutie!

8-Bit Sunglasses
Loot Crate Exclusive
Approx. Value : $5.00
Not only is it fitting for a fashionista, a geeky one at that,
it actually protects from the sun! UVA 400 Protection.
I'll show these off later too. Now I'm summer ready!

Space Invader
8-Bit Skinny Tie
Loot Crate Exclusive
Approx. Value : $15.00
http://blacktiegeek.com/
This might be one me and my boyfriend will have to share.
I have to say, I LOVE the packaging. I hope they
continue with this because it is AWESOME.

So fancy!

Comic Note Book
Approx. Value : $3.00
http://www.philosophersguild.com/
This might be one of my favourite parts of this months crate!
I really want to make a tiny comic when I get the
opportunity and I'd love to share it with you guys!

You really get to personalize this! 
Perfect gift for artists :D!

All the additional goodies though!

Star Wars 001
Comic Book Variant
Marvel
Loot Crate Exclusive
Approx. Value : $5.00
I retailed the value based on what an issue would run for 
at the comic book store. I have not read it yet 
but I have to say design wise it looks exquisite.

I apologize for the glare... BUT THAT DETAIL!

Every month you do get a pin that matches the months theme.
That cassette, brings me back to the good ol days.

Along with the monthly pin you get the monthly magazine.
Inside you will find interviews, detail of the items in your crate,
Mega Crate detail, along with games and the sort.

This month you got a pop out controller!
To match... just wait...

You invert the box and you have your very own Nintendo NES.
This too brings me back to my childhood, I have to say
best box design thus far! I'm loving this addition!

Out of the six items I am madly in love with four. The estimate 
total of this crate came to $53.00. Not to shabby! If you want 
nostalgia this is a box for you.
_._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._

To summarize my overall experience with Loot Crate from last year...

There was a lot of up and downs with Loot Crate in the beginning,
missing packages, receiving the box in a horrible condition, etc. Things have definitely gotten
better and it looks like more effort is being put into presentation as well as merchandise.
I have a few friends who only do it for the shirt, but if that is the case I'd tell them to check
a T-Shirt site out and just order a $10-15 shirt from there. I feel it is a very lovely gift idea for someone who enjoys collecting or is a newbie at it and needs some where to start. My
boyfriend enjoyed his three months but has moments he wishes he himself signed up for
newer ones. I hope to stay in the Loot Crate family for as long as I can afford it.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask and I'd get to you as soon as I possibly can.

Thank you so much for sticking around, I do appreciate good company!
I hope you can join me again, until then ciao ^o^/)!
