It is September and I am posting about my August Glossybox. I received it the same day as my Fall Luxe Box. So a busy week for beauty samples!

I liked what I got in my August box. The lipstick is very pretty.

So let’s see what’s inside this month’s Glossybox J

Hi everyone,

Picture it...Winnipeg, May 2012...

Loose Button changed their subscription service from a monthly service to a seasonal (quarterly) service that also included a price increase. I was quite vocal about my displeasure about the sudden change, lack of information and price increase. I was happy for the most part with my monthly boxes. I was resistant to change.

Luxe Box Fall 2012 Edition

Now that the ’new and improved’ Luxe Box has hit my doorstep, am I a convert? Kind of. There were several items I was totally thrilled to get and a couple others, not so much. But that is much the case for most subscription boxes I receive.

Fyrinnae Woolly Mammoth pressed shadow

Now I have quite a few loose shadows but I never use them in the morning getting for ready work as I am a) tired, b) a clutz, c) did I mention tired? so in basically lazy. I will grab a palette over my loose shadows because it is a faster application process. Time is essential in the AM in my house as I am always running late. I have repeatedly thought, “Oh I got to press you one of these days Damn Paladins!” (a favorite Fyrinnae loose shadow). But I never do get around to pressing the loose shadows and I leave my loose shadows for when I have more time to apply my makeup, like evenings and weekends.

I was one of a few lucky Twitter winners to get a preview look at Fyrinnae’s new pressed eyeshadows. Let me tell you, I was EXCITED!!!!

I received two shadows, a current Fyrinnae colour, Rapunzel Had Extensions, and a new colour, Woolly Mammoth. Rapuznel didn’t make it through shipping. But Fyrinnae is so nice; they are sending me another one! But it was such a beautiful colour that I had to use it in my look (below). The pressed shadows came in a single compact form.

Let’s look at Woolly Mammoth. It is a reddish burnt brown. The colour was not as intense as in the pan but it applied and blended like a dream ~~ahhh~~ Love it. It has a slight shimmer that is not overwhelming. Juuusttt right. I am so thrilled that I got this colour. I immediately wore it to work the next day. I had minimal fallout with this shadow.

Fyrinnae will be releasing a limited selection of pressed shadows in the next few weeks. See their blog for more details here.

I see Damn Paladins will be one of the colours released as a pressed shadow. YES!!!

Have you tried Fyrinnae yet?

I redesigned my blog!
Gone is the BLACK. It was way to heavy.
I had been wanting to do this for a couple months but it seemed like such a huge undertaking. But after all said and done, it was really the header that was the biggest hurdle; resizing and condensing for an easier upload.
I like to view the web at 125% when on my laptop. I wanted to make sure the blog fit that screen size.
So let me know if you like it?

And I have a little something planned for my readers in the next couple days, so stay tuned for that!!!

Love you guys!
