Pond's BB+ Luminous Finish Review & Swatches

 Pond's BB+ is a brand new BB cream, and I'm really excited about this one because other American BB creams I've tried have been too greasy for me and not a good match for my skin tone.  As you can see from the swatches below on my hand, this product has a matte finish & the medium shade is a pretty close match to my skin (it's the one on the right that's barely visible against my skin).  On the left is the light shade, which will work well for fair skin.  As of right now these are the only two shades, hopefully they will add more as time goes on because this is a great BB cream!

Ponds is holding a video competition, and the winners have an opportunity to appear on Entertainment Tonight which is pretty amazing.  Here is my entry, if you like it I hope you'll vote for me at the Ponds Facebook Page.  If you sort the videos alphabetically, I'm in the middle of the 3rd row. :)  Or, of course, vote for your favorite! Thanks!

Glossybox USA Unboxing - July 2013 - and PROMO CODE!

This is the second Glossybox I've received (the first one was the January box) and again I am pleased with the variety of products and the sizes.  I guess that's not surprising since the box does cost $21 which is significantly more than Birchbox or Beauty Army.  Glossybox is like Birchbox in that you can earn points from writing reviews and referring others to sign up for the box.

This month they are running a promo for 15% off your first box, which makes the box a pretty reasonable price considering the size of the products & the box itself is nice and reusable as well.

The promo code is:  JULYMAG
