Review: December 2014 Splendies Subscription Box

Happy 2015 beautiful readers! Since I was back with my parents over the holidays, I didn't get the chance to look at my December Splendies until a few days ago.  For those of you who didn't get a chance to check out my November Splendies Post, Splendies is a monthly underwear subscription package.  For $12 USD a month, they will send you 3 pairs of undies  to your mailbox.  If you subscribe now, they will give you $4 USD off your first box using the code SPLENDIES, which will come out to $8 USD for your first box. There is also a plus size subscription called Volupties, which gives you the same cute variety of undies for $17USD a month.

I really love the variety that Splendies have given me the last few months, especially considering that because there is such a large range of colors and styles that there are so many different types of combinations each month. I thought this month was a really good mix of cute and sexy, plus who doesn't love some holiday undies?

Swatches and Review: Beautifully Disney Frozen Collection Palette and Lipsticks

Happy Winter! Sorry about the long absence, school ate me up but I'm back and BETTER THAN EVER-- or I'm just back to write you some of posts on makeup. Anyway, I'm so excited to tell you about this collection today.  Beautifully Disney is a cosmetics line created by Disney specifically for the Disney Parks, meaning that you can only buy these products at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California or Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida or in limited supplies on the Disney website while supplies last.

I'm one of the fortunate people to be able to have an annual pass to Disneyland after wanting one for years (Yay for being an adult!). I've walked by the Beautifully Disney display with only some curiosity and no motivation to buy the products because while the packaging and themes are cute (Disney Classic Villains, Sleeping Beauty) the products themselves don't appeal to me much.  There are a lot of lip glosses and nail polish, and the palettes were nothing that I wanted to drop $40 for. BUT LO AND BEHOLD Disney got smart and created a FROZEN Beautifully Disney Collection.  I SCREAMED. I love Frozen (surprise surprise) and have been DYING to see if Sephora or Disney would get to making a line inspired by Frozen.

I picked up the Palette and the mini lipsticks about... maybe a week after the announcement came out.  I wasn't too interested in the nail polish or the perfume rollers Glitter rollers (In Elegant Ice and Sparkling-- thanks for the information Lizzette!).  This a very PICTURE HEAVY post so proceed with that in mind! If you don't care for the individual analysis, please feel free to skip to the bottom for my final impressions. On to the swatches :)
