When I received my first voxbox I only had a blog and a Facebook page. I later signed up for more social media, but initially I wasn’t on YouTube. I don’t always qualify for boxes but I think it’s a fun way to try and test new products.

Fashion Haul & Look Book - eShakti, Juicy Couture, Express

Here's a fashion haul of items I've purchased over the last month, gifts for my birthday and an item that was sent to me to review (eshakti). eShakti is an online only, women's fashion apparel company offering sizes 0-36W & custom clothing. Love the custom part! Watch my three minute look book for more information :)

Additional Information for eShakti:

The dress that I selected is the floral jacquard sequin waist dress. The top is velvet and the waist is a built in belt of beads and gold sequins. The bottom material is thicker and some of the flowers are reflective gold (which pairs well with the belt ).

I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to order and select my size. The sizes are displayed right on the product page (below each item). When ordering you select your height (for a more perfect fit), and can select custom styling for an additional $7.50. With the custom styling you can add sleeves, take away sleeves, tailor your dress length and neck line. There are pictures too, so you can see what kind of neck line, dress length, or sleeves you want to select.

eShakti provided me with a coupon code for my readers. It's not an affiliate link- it’s just a coupon:

coupon code ' seaglassstash '- to get 10% OFF when you shop at eShakti – valid from 12/16/2014 – 01/16/2015

Not applicable on previous purchases.

The three Juicy Couture shirts are available at Kohl’s (I used a coupon and they were around $15 each!) I love how the tank top is loose around the mid area. Perfect for wearing to zumba!

The Kate Spade purse was a birthday gift from one of my best friends. It’s my first fancy purse! The Express sweater was a birthday gift from one of my other best friends, I love the jewels on the shoulders!

Thanks for watching (and reading this!!) I hope you enjoyed this quick, 3 minute fashion haul and look-book. I'd love to hear what you've been wearing and gravitating towards in fashion the past few months.

Too Faced Everything Nice Palette - Too Faced Holiday 2014

I just received the Too Faced 'Everything Nice' palette about an hour ago! I wanted to post this because a few friends were asking about this palette and wanted to hear my thoughts. I LOVED last years 'A Few of My Favorite Things' palette that Too Faced released last fall, so I knew I wanted to purchase this one too :)

I haven't worn the shadows yet but I wanted to make this post more of a first impressions that includes swatches. The packaging is adorable and it is similar to last years palette (both are cardboard with magnetic closure), but 'Everything Nice' is a fraction thicker. The layout of the palette is the same with the shadows on the top and the face products on the bottom.

'Everything Nice' came with a makeup bag and a deluxe sample of the Too Faced Better than Sex mascara. The bag for A Few of My Favorite Things is very large and functional (the palette can fit inside the bag). The bag that came with 'Everything Nice' is smaller and sadly, the palette cannot fit inside. This year's bag also has glitz/glam and I wonder if the glitter is going to fall off all over the place (I hope not, but it's a concern of mine).

Makeup Geek Eye Shadows

I know I haven't posted in a while and I promise I'm going to try to post more regularly! Today I want to share with you a few swatches from Makeup Geek's eye shadow line.

I really love the quality of Makeup Geek eye shadows and own quite a few of them. The two I want to feature today are shimmermint and rockstar. Rockstar is a newer shadow that was released a few months back and shimmermint has been part of the line for a while now.

Becca Beach Tint Shimmer Souffle Raspberry/Opal

I honestly didn't plan on purchasing any of the Becca Beach Tint Shimmer Soufflés, but a few friends were raving about them and other friends posted on Instagram saying how lovely they are. I had a gift card to Sephora so I thought, why not?!
