QUESTION OF THE WEEK: WHAT'S IN YOUR DAILY MAKEUP BAG?

Do you have any beauty products that you can't leave home without? I have a handful of products that I like to keep in my daily makeup bag, which I carry around with me in my handbag. I thought that I would share them with you in today's blog post, so let's get started! :-)

HAPPINESS BOUTIQUE GLAMOROUS OVER THE TOP STATEMENT NECKLACE: REVIEW & PHOTOS

I can't begin to describe how beautiful the Glamorous Over The Top Statement Necklace from Happiness Boutique is. It's such a gorgeous, versatile necklace that can be dressed up with a nice dress and a pair of heels or dressed down with a cozy cardigan, a simple white t-shirt, some jeans and a pair of cute boots.

I love to dress myself in casual and comfortable clothes, but I still want to look cute and presentable at the same time. I have put together an outfit featuring this stunning piece from Happiness Boutique. This is just one way that I would style this necklace and I think it's a great look for every day. I hope you like the outfit as much as I do, be sure to let me know your thoughts in the comment section down below! :-) 

The quality of the necklace is really nice. It has a nice weight to it, it doesn't look cheap or feel heavy around the neck. It's got a $31.55 price tag, which I think is a good price compared to the quality, size and the overall look of the necklace. It's such a beautiful and unique piece, which is going to complete and make any plain or dressy outfit stand out. I have received quite a few compliments whenever I have worn this necklace out, which is always super fun. What girl doesn't like to be complimented every once in a while? :-) 

Where to buy?

GLOSSYBOX: MARCH 2016

Happy Wednesday! How are you? I hope you're doing well and that you are having a good week so far. Today's blog post is going to be all about my March GLOSSYBOX. If you saw my previous GLOSSYBOX post about the February box (HERE), you know that I wasn't that impressed with it. I thought it was okay, but it could have been a lot better in my opinion.

The March box is called Confidence is Beauty and it's all about magnifying the true beauty that already excists. The March box contains products for your eyes, hair, teeth and even a couple of tools thrown into the mix as well. Now, let's take a look at the goodies inside the March GLOSSYBOX! :-) 

♥ GLOSSYBOX: March 2016

 ♥ Colgate Max White Expert Toothpaste, (HERE) & Max White Toothbrush & Whiteningpen, (HERE). 

I'm so excited to see that GLOSSYBOX decided to include the new Colgate Max White Toothpaste, MAX White Toothbrush and Whiteningpen in their March box. I'm intrigued to see if they actually work or if it's a total fail. How amazing would it be if they worked? It's supposed to whiten your teeth, three shades lighter in just 5 days. All you have to do is brush your teeth with the toothpaste, then apply the gel on your teeth afterwards.

I'm going to give this a go tonight and we'll see what happens.  Hopefully it's going to give me some nice results, fingers crossed! :-)

 ♥ Emite Make Up Artist Lashes Mascara, (HERE). 

I like that GLOSSYBOX included a new mascara in the March box. This one is by the brand Emite Make Up and it's their Artist Lashes Mascara. I love testing out new mascaras, because I love playing around with them and finding new favorites. I use mascara almost every single day, so I love receiving them in these monthly beauty boxes from GLOSSYBOX! :-)

 ♥ Minus 417 Dead Sea Cosmetics LTD Catharsis Witamin Mineral Shampoo, (HERE).

 ♥ Hot Makeup Eyelash Curler.

♥ Luxie Beauty Rose Gold Large Angled Face Brush 504, (HERE). 

I also received the Hot Makeup Eyelash Curler and Luxie Beauty Rose Gold Large Angled Face Brush 504 in the March box. The Rose Gold Large Angled Face Brush 504 from Luxie Beauty is really soft, so I'm looking forward to trying it out. It's going to be perfect to contour with, it would also be great for blush application as well! :-)  

So there you have it, thats everything that I got in my March GLOSSYBOX. Are you subscribed to GLOSSYBOX?  What did you get in your March box? Were you happy with everything you received in your box? :-)

Love, Christine ♥

GERARD COSMETICS LIPSTICK IN 1995: REVIEW, PHOTOS & SWATCHES

Gerard Cosmetics is a brand that I have been wanting to try out for a while. When I saw that they were having a 60% sale on their website (this was a little while ago), I just had to jump on the bandwagon and place an order on their website. I knew I wanted to pick up a color that I would use a lot, so that's how I ended up with 1995! :-) 

 ♥ Gerard Cosmetics Lipstick in 1995.

Gerard Cosmetics Lipstick in 1995 is a beautiful, deep mauve brown with a matte finish. It's part of Jaclyn Hill's collaboration with the brand and it's inspired by the 90s grunge revival and the beauty trends of an unforgettable decade. 1995 is easy to apply and it looks beautiful on the lips. The pigmentation is good, but I found it to be a little drying on the lips. I like to apply a little bit of lip balm underneath and it's completely fine.

1995 comes in a beautful, gold tube with the Gerard Cosmetics logo ingraved just below the cap. The packaging is gorgeous, very luxurious looking but it feels a little cheap compared to the $19 price tag. I think the lipstick itself is great though, which is what matters. The scent is the only thing about this lipstick that I don't like, but once I've applied it on my lips I don't notice the scent anymore.

Overall, I think 1995 is a total must have if you're into deep, mauve brown toned lipsticks. It's a real stunner, such a gorgeous every day color. If you are thinking about giving Gerard Cosmetics a go but you don't want to spend $19 on just a single lipstick, you should check out their bundle deals. At the moment, they are offering any two lipsticks for $19, (HERE) or four lipsticks of your choice for only $33, (HERE).

I'm seriously concidering placing another order on their website, since there are a couple more shades I would love to add to my collection. I also want to pick up Candy Kiss, which is Shaaanxo's collaboration with Gerard Cosmetics. I'm a big fan of Shannon and her videos on YouTube, (HERE), so I would love to pick up her lip gloss and show my support! :-)
