Fix Immaculate Complexion Advanced Antioxidant Serum




Fix Immaculate Complexion Antioxidant Serum is a serum that I would never spend the money to buy in the store without first being able to try out the product.  At $125 a pop, I am still not sure that I will buy this product in the future.  But, I have to say, that I really do see some effects from using the product.  Again, Birchbox's sample size is something that will last me at least a month or 2 and I have been using this one for at least 3 weeks.  Fix claims that it contains vitamins A, C and E and another ingredient that protects skin from harmful environmental factors and and neutralizes free radicals.  All of these function to prevent premature aging and help correct damage that has already been done.   It seems to me to contain some sort of smoothing component also.  I would recommend using this product if it is something that you can afford.

Laura Geller Spackle Tinted Under Makeup Primer







This primer called Spackle by Laura Geller is something that I have been pleasantly surprised by and seem to use almost every day especially since it is winter time and my complexion could use some brightening up.  The shade that Birchbox used is "bronze" which I expected to be a little too dark for my light skin tone, but it seems to blend right in with my tone as it has a very light consistency and adds a very subtle tint.  I have been using it a bronzer to give myself a little color this winter and am happy that the "sample" that Birchbox sent is a quite healthy 0.5 oz and has lasted me quite awhile.  I just checked the Birchbox website and their Spackle is out of stock and waitlisted!

Zoya Nail Lacquer



I have reviewed the Zoya brand of nail polish earlier in a different shade months ago.  This newer shade of Zoya nail polish that came in a much brighter, sassy shade called Sooki, came just in time for the holidays.  I wanted to write another review about this polish because I am astonished at how long this product lasts.  I applied the polish to my toes just before Christmas and it is almost flawless 3 weeks later!  Mind you, it is on my toes and my feet have hardly seen the light of day since I am one to keep my feet covered the entire winter.  But, I am very impressed considering I am too lazy to apply a top coat and did not apply a double coat since the polish looked so even and smooth with only one layer.  I would definitely recommend Zoya!
