Desperately Seeking Bookworm

Here it is, the final subscription box review of 2016, in 2017. It's gonna take me awhile to get back into the swing of writing and reading again. I'm really working on it because one of my goals for the year is to focus on this blog. I'm working on redesigning everything and really getting my act together. Like I said I have big things planned for us this year. For now though let's relive the month of December in the form of my all time favorite subscription box, Sephora Play! Lancome Hypnose Drama Instant Full Body Volume Mascara (Full-size $27.50): Does anyone really like this mascara? I've always been kind of eh on Lancome mascaras in general. I'm jealous that the other box variation got the Bobbi Brown Smokey mascara because I've heard it's a wonder in a tube.This has an S shaped wand and I never thought it did a good job at defining my lashes. I'm picky with mascara's so I need definition and body. Not so much length because I've...

I've come to realize that Sephora Play is definitely my favorite box. I've already decided that I will be cancelling my Allure box and perhaps picking up Ipsy or another box, still undetermined on that. November was a pretty good month, I've actually incorporated one of the products into my daily routine, so I always found that to be a win. I'm not sure if any of these are standout winners in my yearly roundup of all the products I've received, but we shall see. For now, enjoy! Caudalie Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet (Full-size $39): Seriously I get way too many moisturizers in subscription boxes. This is something I would love to never get again. I've tried Vinosource before and it's a fine moisturizer, I just don't want to open it right now. Final Grade: TBD Sephora Collection Ultra Shine Lip Gel in Pin Up Pink (Full-size $12): I'm kind of over the matte trend, so I'm happy to get a gloss. I like that they're including a Sephora Col...

Info: I wrote this mid-December. I know I'm a terrible blogger Because I'm lazy and don't particularly care about this box anymore November and December will be combined. We're waist deep in the holiday season and I'm feeling cheerful, but not cheerful enough for me to write two separate posts. Plus neither of them are that exciting. So here we go the last two months of Allure. November- Party Central Red Flower Icelandic Moonflower Moisturizing Body Lotion (Full-size $26): This smelled like a very heavy floral, it kind of smelled like lilac's, but not enough that I wanted to throw it across the room. It was very thick though, I had a hard time getting it out of tube, but nothing a couple of shakes couldn't fix. It was a decent lotion, but I was happy to get rid of it. I'm picky when it comes to body lotion. Final Grade: C+ Bulgaria Omnia Crystalline (Full-size $82): Alright, this time around I knew how to open the bottle. I liked the coral...
