Its been a long time since I have seen the inside of a college classroom, let alone a dorm room. I fondly remember being excited for the new school year and mostly excited to redecorate my door room. My room was always full of color, perfectly organized closets and a study space that would make any student jealous. College was the time where I came into my own and found my passion. I studied abroad twice, once in Scotland and once in Egypt, in those countries I found myself. I loved my college years and can’t believe its been almost 10 years since I graduated.

Honor Roll 1

The Target Honor Roll Beauty Box would make any college girl beam and heck you can’t beat the $5.00 price tag, its a great deal. Thou I am not in college I knew I needed the Honor Roll box in my life and thankfully I was able to secure one before they sold out. Target Beauty Boxes always sell out. I have a pact with my friends that I will sound the alarm when a new box is available, otherwise most of them never know. Target does not openly advertise their beauty box, so word of mouth is how they get sold and sold fast.

“So Lady, what was in your super cool Target Beauty Honor Roll Box!?”

Honor roll 2

Target Beauty Box – Back to College: Honor Roll

Bathery Delicate Pouf: Gentle netting creates a rich lather for cleansing even the most sensitive skin.

John Frieda Luxurious Volume 7-Day Treatment: Semi-permanent treatment transforms fine hair, leaving it full even after multiple washes.

Olay White Strawberry Body Wash: Hydrating body wash refreshes your skin with a cooling white strawberry and mint scent.
————————> Strawberries just scream freaking SUMMER!!!!!! This body wash has a great scent and a good lather that is brought to you by petrochemicals. Petrochemicals are not my friends.

NYX Butter Gloss Strawberry Parfait: Buttery soft and silky smooth gloss tastes sweet and makes lips shine without being sticky.
———————–> NYX is a brand that I know well and love. The quality is amazing and the best part is, its easy on your wallet. Every college girl can afford a little something something from the NYX line

——————> Again another great essential. I love cleansing cloths, so I was glad to get a good sized pack for travel.

Target you out did yourselves. I have to say this is hands down the best most well thought out box to come out of the bulls eye. I am blown away at how practical the items are and that every product in the box is affordable.

The Target Beauty Box is not a subscription service, they are first come first served, if they are sold out then you my friends are out of luck. I just checked target.com and the Honor Roll box is out of stock. For $5 this box is a great deal, that is if you can get your hands on one, they always sellout like hotcakes. So don’t sit on the beauty fence when you see them, just throw it in your virtual cart and call it a day!

{Walmart Beauty} Quarterly Beauty Box – Summer 2015

Summer 2015
“A defining line here. A splash of color there. Every woman has her own unique way of showing the beauty within her. At Walmart, you’ll discover the latest products and most trusted brands at our low prices. Every day.”

SUMMER! Has finally arrived and I could not be happier. Long sunny days are what I live for, throw in a lake and I am one very happy girl. If that lake has a beach and sea glass, I will probably just explode. Yes I know because that right there would just be a summer overload! Summers in Minnesota are short, but hey its why we chose the land of 10,000 lakes to be our home, there is nothing like a Minnesota summer.

summer15

Yes, by purchasing and reviewing this subscription I AmandaJean publicly admit that i shop at Walmart. You know you shop at Walmart to, you just don’t admit it. I like to do it late at night, there are less people and the staff seem more helpful. Not to mention the people watching in Walmart during the summer months is excellent, especially after bar close. Yes, sometimes I can’t sleep so I go grocery shopping at 1am.

Anyways! Back to the box, cause we know that’s why you are really here.

{Ipsy} Swim into Beauty – June 2015

June2015
Hold your breath and get ready to dive in, live deep, and make some waves.

Swim into beauty is an interesting theme for the month of June. I happen to shudder at the thought of jumping into a pool with a full face of makeup, mainly because I fear the mascara streaks. But then there are the adventures types who just don’t give a damn and leap in with both feet. Those girls are my heroes!

For me summer beauty is simple and I do not want to be weighed down by products. Sunscreen is my mainstay, along with my hair in a bun, and a skirt or dress. I want to be cool, protected, and beautiful. Even while sporting my tankini pool side with a beverage in hand. As a Minnesota girl, I soak in every possible drop of summer, because in a few short months it will be gone and I will be wearing a coat.

“So what did you get in your glam bag?!” Lets unzip it and find out!

June15

Swim into Beauty:

J. Cat Beauty Liptitude Hydrating Lip Stain: Highly pigmented, hydrating, semi-matte lip stain. A delightfully creamy and lightweight stain for any occasion. Silky, smooth and packed with Vitamin E and plants extract, this stain is your go-to glam tool for sexy. Liptitude will last 24/7 and give you some serious ATTITUDE.

Smashbox Cosmetics Photo Finish Foundation Primer: Create a perfect canvas for foundation application with this silky, lightweight blend of vitamins A & E, grape seed extract and green tea.

BioRepublic SkinCare Sheet Mask Trio: Each BioRepublic sheet mask offers a targeted 15-minute solution guaranteed to help you navigate even your most treacherous skin dilemmas. Packing over half a bottle of potent serum in every mask and loaded with active botanicals, these express facial treatments deliver the vital hydration and nutrients your skin needs to maintain its natural glow.

NYC New York Color Liquid Eyeliner: This long lasting, rich and creamy formula dries fast and stays put. This tapered natural brush gives you the control you need to create a precise and dramatic line.

tre’StiQue Mini Shadow Crayon: This amazing 12 hour eye shadow has customizable color that you can build from a subtle wash to intense vibrancy. It’s also super blendable with a crease free, smooth finish.

I am in a hit or miss relationship with Ipsy at the moment, we are on a low right now, but I just know that one of these days they are going to wow me. Or at least I hope they attempt to wow me again.

Do you want an Ipsy Glam Bag of your very own? Well then, for $10 a month (shipping is free) you will receive a Glam Bag filled with deluxe samples and full-sized beauty products. Members can watch and play along with the stylists with the same products that they are using.

{BirchBox} The Tig – June 2015

June 2015
“THE TIG: GUEST EDITOR BOX: Curated by actress Meghan Markle, founder of The Tig lifestyle blog, this box is brimming with A-list must-haves for all your summer escapades.”

I am loving Birchbox’s guest editor collaborations and sample choice. One can chose either a sample or the guest editor box. For the month of June I went with the guest editor box because, it includes a Davines product that I had never tried before. Meghan founder of The Tig lifestyle blog selected products that would be essential for a summer escape and I could not be happier with her selections.
June 15

Summer for me means playing in the sprinkler with my niece, farmers markets, and unexpected road trips. I am a weekend warrior who tries to squeeze a lifetime of memories into just two days. Whether its outings with Jay, drinks on the patio with friends, or collecting shells on the beach with Sophia, I let every drop of sweet summer soak in. My beauty routine usually falls to the back seat and sunscreen and a good BB cream are my trusty weapons. My hair its to frizzy to tame so a bun is my go to style along with a cute dress or skirt. This girl rarely does shorts and I am perfectly ok with that, just as long as my pasty legs see the sun.

“So what did you get in your June Birchbox!?”

June-15
The Tig

Davines SU Hair & Body Wash: This rich gel cleanses head to toe, hydrating skin and preventing sun damage to strands.
————————–> This, this right here is my new go to body wash. It literally smells like a bomb pop or like summer in a bottle. It leaves my skin feeling so soft and fresh. After the first use I instantly ordered the full-sized product from BirchBox.com, yes it is just that darn amazing!

Harvey Prince – Hello Body Cream: infused with summery citrus and floral notes, this hydrator leaves your skin feeling soft and lightly scented.
————————-> This is a good summer scent, it is very light and it has a hint of lemon.

Marcelle BB Cream Golden Glow: this multitasker, rich in antioxidants, covers imperfections, evens tone and calms skin.
———————> I am certain this must be a great product otherwise Meghan wouldn’t have picked it for her box. The shade I received is just to dark for my skin tone.

Oribe Cote d’Azur Eau de Parfum: reminiscent of the fragrant breezes of the French Riviera.

Real Chemistry Luminous 3-minute peel: this acid-free peel gently exfoliates for instantly smoother, softer, and brighter skin.
————————> This was my sample choice product for May, so I now have two of these bad boys. I have seen it in previous sneak peeks and it left me intrigued and I knew that i needed it in my life. I have yet to try it thou, it is giving me the sad eyes from the bathroom sink. I keep telling it when I have time, its you and me peel, its you and me.

This was a great box and all of the products complimented each other. I loved that there was a good mix of skin care and body products. Everyone can use a travel size lotion and not to mention the Davines sample is like a giant not your normal BirchBox sized sample. I hope all of you loved your box as much as I loved mine.

Birch Box is a beauty and lifestyle subscription box program that costs $10.00 per month. For every dollar you spend in the shop you can earn 1 point. 100 points will get you a free birch box or $10 towards a purchase in the shop at birchbox.com.

{Acure Organics} Glamorganic Goddess Beauty Kit

Acure Organics

“Please help us raise funds for our friend Danielle Messina, The Glamorganic Goddess, whose mission is to find clean beauty products, inspire others, and promote education about the importance of prevention through a truly healthy lifestyle. At just 37 years old her doctor’s have discovered a secondary recurrence of Breast Cancer. We are donating 100% of the proceeds of this kit to help Danielle with her Glamorganic Goddess GoFundme Campaign.”

How awesome is that! A company willing to donate 100% of the proceeds to a goddess in need!? That is pretty gosh darn amazing if you ask me. When I saw Acure’s facebook post I knew that I wanted to help so I placed my order and waited for it to arrive. I don’t know Danielle, however I do know what its like to battle the unknown and how scary it is to watch a stack of medical bills grow each day. $19.99 may not seem like much, but a little goes along way and if all of us order a kit, imagine the impact that would make on Danielle’s life.

Just remember: “No matter the battle, or the fight, no woman deserves to go it alone.”

“So what did you get in your Glamorganic Goddess Beauty Kit!?

Acure

Glamorganic Goddess Beauty Kit

Facial Toner Balancing Rose + Red Tea (Full-size): ($12.99) This alcohol-free certified organic toner utilizes organic witch hazel to purify, organic vegetable glycerin to moisturize and organic rose and chamomile to soothe, calm and restore the skin’s natural acid mantle—the skin’s own protective layer.

Aromatherapeutic citrus ginger argan oil (full-size): ($12.99) Incredibly rich in vitamin E, essential fatty acids, and proteins, argan oil helps fight lines, repair imperfections, minimize scars + stretch marks; all while restoring texture, elasticity and tone. Lightweight and easily absorbed, the aromas of citrus and ginger will invigorate and warm the senses!

Argan cleansing towelettes (full-size): ($6.99) Gently remove makeup, dirt, sweat, environmental toxins, and that mustard from the corner of your mouth. No splashy rinsing necessary.

Lip lush – birthday suit (full-size): ($7.99) Luscious, lip smacking gloss with sheer color and attitude. Agatha von Birthday Suit doesn’t need a bunch of fancy schmancy colors to show her true beauty. Argan Oil, Echinacea, + Edelweiss Stem Cells help plump and protect.

Acure Night Cream (sample-size): Nature’s nocturnal miracle! Age-fighting Argan Stem Cells, shown to help the skin’s natural repair process, firm and moisturize while 2% Chlorella Growth Factor fortifies collagen and elastin fibers. Hydrating Moroccan Argan Oil seals the deal, truly making this nature’s own skin rejuvenating system.

Acure facial cleanser gel (sample-size): This gentle cleanser works on two levels–it washes away dirt and oil as well as removes makeup to leave your skin radiant and refreshed.

Acure Brightening Facial Scrub (sample-size): “Seas” the day with natural exfoliation from the ocean! Organic Sea Kelp gently exfoliates your skin while French Green Clay and Organic Lemon Peel remove impurities from your pores.

This is one super amazing kit! I got four full-sized products and 3 sample-sized products for $19.99. I almost feel like I am robbing Acure because this is such a great deal. Plus everything is organic and planet friendly. You know how much I love chemical free products and living. I urge you to run on over to http://www.acureorganics.com/category-s/172.htm and pick up a kit of your very own. As of May 15, 2015 the kits are on back order, but don’t fret my friend you can still place your order and remember the products will vary from box to box.

{IPSY} Jet Setter

May 2015

“Buckle Up, Buttercup.”

I think Jet Setter is a great theme for May, for me May is the gateway month to a summer of road trips and travel. I am in love with easy multipurpose products that I can throw into a day bag and hit the open road. In the summer months no girl wants to be weighed down by her beauty routine. Simple, portable and elegant is best.

Ipsy changed there sneak peeks this month, I don’t do snap chat so I pretty much missed them all. I hear rumblings that glamglow was included and that a lucky chosen few would receive it in their bags. I am not lucky, I also heard about a clear lip pencil and deep down I knew it was in my future.

“So what did you get in your glam bag?!” Lets unzip it and find out!

May 15

Jet Setter

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Lip Pencil + BONUS Revolution High-Color Lipgloss: long-lasting, waterproof liner glides on smoothly to prime AND define—for long-lasting lip color and clean lines. Smooch. Pout. Smack. Nibble. Lick. 24/7 stays put through everything (yes, EVERYTHING) you do. When you use this liner to fill in your lips completely, it primes them for lipstick or gloss, grabbing on to color to help it last.

Chella Eyebrow Color Pencil: The fine tip on this sleek European-designed mechanical pencil has a creamy consistency that glides into place and can also be lightly smudged for a more natural look.

Klorane Smoothing and Relaxing Patches: soothing eye patches refresh, moisturize and brighten tired eyes. Formulated with a unique combination of cornflower to naturally soothe and reduce puffiness; arnica to drain the eye contour; and chamomile to refresh and provide anti-inflammatory benefits.

CoTZ Face Natural SPF 40: A Balanced Mineral Complex that feels silky & soft and blends translucent, with a sheer matte finish. Superior protection aginst sun-accelerated age-marks has never felt this nice.

I am in a hit or miss relationship with Ipsy at the moment, we are on a low right now, but I just know that one of these days they are going to wow me. Or at least I hope they attempt to wow me again.

Do you want an Ipsy Glam Bag of your very own? Well then, for $10 a month (shipping is free) you will receive a Glam Bag filled with deluxe samples and full-sized beauty products.

{BirchBox} Cupcakes and Cashmere

May 2015
“ELEVATE EVERYDAY LIFE, May’s box is curated by Emily Schuman of Cupcakes and Cashmere, this month’s picks bring out-of-the-ordinary elegance to your daily routine.”

May15

Elevate everyday life…….sounds like a plan to me. I like how BirchBox partnered with a regular girl like you and me and not a celebrity or brand for this month’s curated box and products. Products are more relate-able when they are picked by someone in your own demographic. Or well maybe close to your demographic, I am not one to wear a bold lip color or crazy shade of eye shadow. However I am always willing to try new things.

“So what did you get in your May BirchBox?!”

May_2015

Cupcakes and Cashmere

Benefit Cosmetics – The POREfessional: this sheer, oil-free balm minimizes pores, smooths skin, and works with all skin tones

Mally – Evercolor Waterproof Automatic Eyeliner: this pencil delivers vivid, smudge proof color
————————-> This one is going in the gift pile, I am not an eyeliner girl. Never have been and I never will be.

Marcelle Hydra-C 24H Energizing Hydrating Gel: Lightweight, vitamin packed hydrator that brightens skin and goes on cucumber cool
————————> I am seeing a lot of gel moisturizers on the market this spring and I think I like them. This one is pretty great it absorbed quickly and left my skin feeling cool and smooth. I like cool and smooth, especially when it comes to pickup lines.

Real Chemistry Luminous 3-Minute Peel: this acid-free peel gently exfoliates for instantly softer, smoother, and brighter skin.
———————>This is my sample choice product for May. I have seen it in previous sneak peeks and it left me intrigued and I knew that i needed it in my life. I have yet to try it thou, it is giving me the sad eyes from the bathroom sink. I keep telling it when I have time, its you and me peel, its you and me.

This Months box was pretty great, well besides the evil eyeliner and when I complete my product reviews I will earn a total of 70 points that I can use in the BirchBox shop.

Birch Box is a beauty and lifestyle subscription box program that costs $10.00 per month. For every dollar you spend in the shop you can earn 1 point. 100 points will get you a free birch box or $10 towards a purchase in the shop at birchbox.com.

Spring 2015
“Must-haves. Can’t-live-withouts. Obsessions. As purveyors of all-things beauty, we at Target Beauty like to keep a lookout for what’s new and now.

And if you love them as much as we do, find full-size versions at target.com/beautybox.”

I am a Minneapolis girl so it is in my nature to love all things Target. I mean I work and live in the birthplace of the bulls eye that we have all come to know and love. Target puts the chic into my lifestyle, bonus besides cute chic things, they carry the Muppet like dog’s favorite food too. Plus like hello, they just partnered with the Honest Co, and you all know how much I love the Honest product line. See Target is chic and Eco-friendly, oh wow I think I just described myself, lets face it “I am the demographic Target is aiming for.”

“What did you get in your Target Beauty Box?” Oh! I am so glad you asked, let’s find out!

Target Beauty Box Spring 2015

Target Beauty Box Spring 2015

Maybelline Color Elixir by Color Sensations Lip Color (Full Size): a trio of concentrates delivers the color of a lipstick, the care of a balm, and the shine of a gloss.
—————————>Hello people, we have a full size product on our hands!

L’Oreal Paris Infallible Pro-Spray & Set: A lightweight spray that locks in your makeup for all-day extended wear.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Cream: non-greasy, skin-quencher instantly absorbs like a gel, but intensely moisturizes like a cream.

SheaMoisture Superfruit Complex 10-in-1 Renewal System Shampoo: sulfate free, antioxidant rich shampoo helps to renew vibrancy for dull lackluster hair.
———————————-> Just a thought, I think it would be nice if Target would include a foil (yes I said foil) packet of conditioner with the shampoo sample. That way one could try both and decide if they like the product. Not all conditioners work with all shampoos.

The Target Beauty Box is not a subscription service, they are first come first served, if they are sold out then you my friends are out of luck. I just checked target.com and the spring 2015 box is out of stock. For $5 this box is a great deal, that is if you can get your hands on one, they always sellout like hotcakes.
