Blabber : BirchBox

So I just ordered the subscription for my first Birchbox!!! It's going to arrive on June 10th, I am soooo excited I know I should have down this post after it arrived but I just couldn't help myself, but you can for sure expect another post on the 10th or 11th! 

So basically each monthly box contains 4-5 deluxe samples of high end beauty products, they can be anything! And I've done my research mostly from youtube beauty gurus, I've seen videos of them opening their boxes and stuff. I really though it was worth it because they aren't really sample size like some maybe but a few a really a big size and could be worth the ten dollars alone, but for just ten bucks you get up to five products. Try searching youtube and seeing for yourself what I mean! 


Let me know if your interested in this and might subscribe I'd love to know what you think! And when I do get my box I will for sure post pictures and everything of what was in the box and what I though, etc!


Bye!

Review : Avon SuperExtend Mascara

Avon's SuperExtend Mascara
I have been using this mascara for about three weeks, I was meaning to get the Avon SuperShock Mascara but it was out of stock so I got this one instead. I might do a review on the SuperShock later because I do like it better, I've gone through a whole tube and have to get another one!

So overall like it, I'd give it a four star rating out of five. The product is good, its waterproof, and not too thick. The brush though is a bit thin for me though I can't complain becasue it really does make my lashes look a lot longer! It doesn't clump unless of course you go over it more then once which you really don't have to do with this mascara, it separates my lashes really do, it lengthens your lashes like it claims too!

You can get these and other Avon products through their representatives if you know any, or order them online! 
The regular price is $9.00 though right now its on sale for $ 4.99! Do pick it up while the offer lasts! 

Heres the link! Just Click

And for this weekend only for memorial day if you order anything online and enter this code: MDAY2011 you get free shipping for any order over $10

If your do live around Chicago you can contact my mom who is a representative. You can get one of their campaign books and order through my mom, if your interested let me know maybe comment and leave your email address of email me directly at nanj424@yahoo.com (my email). 

Bye!

Following Trends : Bib Necklaces


Bib Necklaces! You may have seen them at school, or on the red carpet but bib necklaces are big right now! I personally think their so pretty, and can really just make a simple scoop neck tee and some jeans much fancier and make them look like an actual thought out outfit! When pairing an outfit with a bib try keeping it simple with your clothes! You don't really want your outfit to stand out because you want attention drawn to your necklace so keep the neckline of the dress or top your wearing simple. 

DIY! Do it yourself :
All you need:
* Small Pliers 
* Your favorite layered piece or Try assembling different pieces that you like and maybe using hot glue to put them together be creative! Look at the necklace in the middle, try imaging all thought flowers and the butterfly separate then put together, you can do the same with things you like and have picked up from a craft store. 
* A Chain ( how ever long you want )

How to put the necklace together really all depends on what kind of chain and other materials your using so, if you have a specific question let me know though there is really a step by step procedure because it really is very general! 

I Hope You Found This Helpful, Bye!

Book Review : Hush Hush & Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick

So I finished Crescendo recently, and OMG! I'd already read Hush Hush and I loved it, and so I got the second book obviously. I finished both books in less then a week, I couldn't concentrate on anything else! Their now part of my favorite books! 

So I'll start off with Hush Hush:

For Nora Grey, romance was not part of the plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how much her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her. Not until Patch came along. With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Nora is drawn to him against her better judgment.
But after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora's not sure who to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere she is, and to know more about her than her closest friends. She can't decide whether she should fall into his arms or run and hide. And when she tries to seek some answers, she finds herself near a truth that is way more unsettling than anything Patch makes her feel.
For Nora is right in the middle of an ancient battle between the immortal and those that have fallen - and, when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong choice will cost her life.
So the only reason I'm not gonna give you my summary is because I will ruin the whole entire book for you guys! I will end up telling everything! But seriously its been so good! Patch is so intriguing, and dreamy. The story is just amazing! I can't say enough  for how much I love it. 
Heres is the summary to Crescendo, (don't you just love the name, I think its super cool!): 
Nora should have known her life was far from perfect. Despite starting a relationship with her guardian angel, Patch (who, title aside, can be described as anything but angelic), and surviving an attempt on her life, things are not looking up. Patch is starting to pull away and Nora can't figure out if it's for her best interest or if his interest has shifted to her arch-enemy, Marcie Millar. Not to mention that Nora is haunted by images of her father and she becomes obsessed with finding out what really happened to him that night he left for Portland and never came home.
The further Nora delves into the mystery of her father's death, the more she comes to question if her Nephilim bloodline has something to do with it as well as why she seems to be in danger more than the average girl. Since Patch isn't answering her questions and seems to be standing in her way, she has to start finding the answers on her own. Relying too heavily on the fact that she has a guardian angel puts Nora at risk again and again. But can she really count on Patch or is he hiding secrets darker than she can even imagine?
So read these books! Tell me what you think! I can't wait till the next book called Silence comes out! 
Thats about it, till next time! 
Bye!


Blabber : Wet n Wild Nail Color

Wet n Wild : Wild Shine Nail Polish in Sparked (Left) and Caribbean Frost (Right) 
So just yesterday I was at the Walgreen by my school after school, and I was just kinda looking though the different beauty products not really gonna buy anything. But I came across these two colors and I was just like I have to have them! They were on sale for $ .69 each! First I was skeptical of how well they polish would work. But the colors were just sooo pretty I had to get them!


So I come home and quickly took off the nail polish I was wearing and everything and tried the Caribbean Frost! I was really really impressed! The brush was really good, and the color wasn't too sheer, and I didn't have to do more then one or maybe two coats. It dried right away and it was just really pretty and bright! So I loved it! 


So I'm probably gonna even go back and see if there are any other colors I like or don't have, and get them. Because all the products I buy are from my own money, my monthly allowance which is pretty average. I don't even have a job since you have to be 16, which is totally unfair! So something this good for just $ .69 I consider a really really good buy!    


Let me know if you try these colors, or if you have suggestions for other colors! 
Bye!


P.S : I also bought the Rimmel London Natural Bronzer in Sun Dance since it was also on sale. I'll try it out and you an expect a review in a week or so! (:

Review : Physicians Formula Gel Cream Liner Trios

Physicians Formula : Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enchaning Gel Cream Liner Trios! The picture above is the trio for brown eyes!
I have been using these gel liners for a month now, and I have been absolutely adoring them! I bought these in April after watching a video by a Beauty Guru I follow on Youtube, Blair Fowler aka JuciyStar07! Click for the video! So I have been looking for a really good gel liner for a while. I used to use the Maybelline gel liners. But I tried this one and I almost threw that other one away!

Heres what the it claims to do: 

Three custom shades provide a glamorous look to define and enhance your eye color.
Yes!
I use the brown eyes trio since I have brown eyes. The colors like you can see above are brown, purple (a wearable purple though not as light as it looks in the picture), and black with purple shimmer ( you can barely notice the shimmer from far away but up close you can and it looks beautiful! And the shimmer does not change the consistency!). Though if you do like the colors in other trios for a different eye color you should buy it! Because I don't know how much the eye enhancing thing works, maybe a bit but not enough to stop me from buying a different set soon! So you don't have to get it for your eye color! 
Unique gel cream formula glides-on effortlessly and smoothly while providing the definition of a liquid eyeliner.
Yes!
The consistency is great not to dry and not to liquidy. I love the way it comes on and I've had it for more then a month and so far it has shown no signs of drying out on me! So hopefully it will last me a few months longer, when it does start to dry up I will let you know so you know how long it lasts and stuff. 
Long-wearing, water-resistant and smudge-resistant formula provides 24-Hour definition.
Yes!
The biggest thing that shocked me about this liner was how it does not smudge at ALL! On the days that I'm not rubbing my eyes a lot or you know touching my make up too much it last last all through my school day and I usually see it still on for a couple hours after wards. I think the longest this has lasted me is 12 hours, and let me tell you I have a really bad habit of rubbing my eyes! And It is water resistant, it only comes off quickly if I use make up remover! Oh and you don't have to do more then one coat of this, unlike the Maybelline eye studio gel liner.
Includes Pro-Eyeliner Brush for effortless and precise application.
Yes & No!
It does include the the brush but like almost all other brushes which come with gel liners this one isn't any different! I suggest you use any flat or angled eyeliner brush for applying. You can still use the brush that comes with but if your looking for real thin lines then it might not work. It'll work but it'll take a lot longer and more effort.
Stackable eyeliner pots can be pulled apart for individual use on-the-go.
Yes!
Yup, there isn't much to say about that they do clip together and come apart, and they are good for just taking with in your bag. 


Also consider the price! All three of those regular sized pots for $10.19 [I bought them from target.]! Most of you may know the Maybelline Gel liner costs the same price for just one of the same size! Don't think these are smaller they are regular/average sized pots! 


So I totally recommend them! Try it and tell me if you like it and if this helped! \


Bye!

Book Review : Fallen by Lauren Kate

I started reading this book about three months ago, I just finished it last week. For me that is a really long time to take in reading a book. Usually if I'm really into something I can finish it in a week two maybe three weeks for the most if its longer.


I bought this book, around the time when Last Sacrifice the last book of the Vampire Academy series came out so obviously I started reading that first. I was reading this then and the beginning was really really slow for me and I was just not into. So I put it aside and decided to finish it later. I really did want to finish it since I was only a few chapters in and a lot of people said they really liked this book.


I bought it because of all the great reviews on it. When I was at the store and i picked it up to read the back cover I was honestly not 'hooked'. The description on the back is really unclear and you really don't know what to think of it.


So I started reading the book again after month, month and a half? I did start to really really like it. The plot really gets you 'hooked' after the first have of the book. I was really into finding out what happens in the end and its kinda a mystery so you really really wanna know all the dark secrets of the characters and that sorta thing.


So I did like this book, it was slow in the beginning but as the story progressed I really started getting into it and I finished it in maybe two weeks after I started it again. I do recommend it if you will follow through. I'd rate this book maybe three and a half,really close to a four [out of five]. I am really anxious, I cant wait till I get the second book, Torment.


So thats about it let me know your thoughts on the book if you've read it or read it then let me know what you think!


Bye!

Review : Maybelline Color Sensational Lipcolor

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipsticks! Color above Born With It! 
Since you all know I'm 15 and since I've only started buying/using make up in the past two years and this year since High school I started wearing make up every day [even though I've been experimenting for a while]. So I don't have that many lipsticks and now recently I'm a little feed up with lip gloss [most] since it comes off so easily and I've found out that using a lips stick as a stain or base before you apply lipstick works well. And so of course to try this out I first went looking through my moms lipsticks. Though the thing is she only has really dark colors! No pinks what so ever, all dark reds, plums, maroons. But I did try some colors under matching lip gloss and I loved the effect! And I knew I had to invest in lipstick I liked. 

So a few days ago I went out and bought the Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in the color Born With It. Did I like the texture? No. Did I like the color? No. Wait wait! Don't stop reading, don't assume that since I didn't like those things that the product is horrible! I would have liked it a lot, the only reason I was disappointed was because when I bought it, it wasn't what I was looking for. Like I said I wanted a lipstick to wear underneath lip gloss. And this lipstick was really creamy, and really uhmm wet, almost like lip gloss, but really pigmented and bright. 

Then as for color, I really did believe that this would be a darker pink then it really was. My skin tone is medium to deep, like a dark tan, somewhat olive. So my lips aren't pink more of a darker rosy color. On the counter and the back of the lipstick the color really did look a lot darker then it came out on my lips I was shocked when I put it on! On my lips it looks like a light bubblegum pink almost chalky [the color] and just really really bad looking on my lips. I might never use it on myself again. So Those of your with fair skin, defiantly go for it! But Then those with darker skin, don't go on the color it looks like on the back! If its a bubblegum pink like color your looking for then you should try it. 

Will I buy this product [in a different color] again? Yes! I'll just be sure to choose a darker shade!

Hope this helps! 
Bye! 

** On Darker Skin: Don't trust certain shades easily! 

All About Me

Let me just start out by saying I am absolutely horrible at this. This as in talking about myself intentionally because I mean all people can do it unintentionally but its really really hard to sit down and think about what you want to say about yourself. So go ahead and ask anything that you want to know that I haven't said.

So basically  I am just a high school student that just happens to really really like make up, clothes, and stuff. I by no means am saying I know everything! I even admit that I am new to all this and my post [that regard like beauty and such] will mostly be for girls that are my age, new at this stuff, and younger then me. 

So other then make up I really really love to read its like maybe something that I've been doing all my life, well nooo since I could read and I've always done a lot of it! I love to read cute love stories and young adult fiction. My all time favorite series would have to be the Vampire academy series I've read all the books and am still devastated till this day that the series has ended! So expect me to talk a lot about books on here! So Technically this isn't a beauty blog but I am soo sooo bad at coming up with cute user names and stuff. So if you do come up with something that might work for this blog and you think I should use it then helloo let me know! Have you guys noticed that I exaggerative too much? Like all the ooooo's I add? I find that annoying about myself and I just feel though that its necessary I don't remove them so you can really hear how I talk you know. By the way this is how I talk! c(:

So on this blog I will review products I've tried, tips & tricks I've come across, book reviews, I'll answer questions, and pretty much do posts on whatever you guys would like me to talk about! Maybe I'll rant about a song I'm obsessed with, or a top I bought somewhere and thought was superrrr cute! 

So yeah! Thats all I can think about for now, there was a bunch of other stuff but it got lost in my head as other stuff I wanted to say kept coming up. Ask questions, comment, follow!

P.S: My name is Nabiha if anyone wants to know! Thats where Biha comes from!
