Instagram Recap #2
May was a busy month for me but it was a good month, mainly because I finally graduated from college! I had finals and had some review classes to attend to so I was quite preoccupied, but I still found time to hang out with my friends and try new foods and places.

May 2015 Birchbox
Finally back with a Birchbox post (although I am late on this as it is June already)!
First off, how cute is the box? Birchbox has been coming out with all these cute designs on the boxes recently. I was definitely pleased with May's Birchbox as I got some goodies that I am excited to try out. For my sample pick, I chose the Macadamia Nourishing Moisture Oil Treatment. I had heard many good things about this before so I knew I wanted to choose this one when I saw the choices available. The second item I am most interested in is the Benefit Total Moisture Facial Cream since I have never tried anything from Benefit's skin care line. I think I will be using the Jurlique Advanced Serum mostly along the neck and decolletage area as my decolletage area has experienced way too much sun and need some repair there.

Instagram Recap #1
It's been awhile again!
My last post was a quick update on my MIA status and in that post I changed it up by including Instagram pictures I had posted over the span of two months. I think I will continue to do these quick cumulative recaps since I like the idea of sharing photos that I have taken in my day- to- day life. I enjoy looking at other people's photos and maybe you guys will enjoy looking at mine too."A picture is worth a thousand words."

It's Been Awhile - Quick Update
Hello everyone! Long time no post!
I know it has been a long time since I've last posted. Thank you to my readers, old and new, for sticking with my blog and to anyone who drops by. I thought I would do a quick, update post and say hello. I am in my last year of college so my main priority is to focus on that and to juggle all the tests and assignments I have. I am also working on the side so that really doesn't leave me much time to blog or much time to myself in general. I haven't decided to stop blogging, but it probably will be awhile until I can really find time to put up an actual post. For this post, I thought I would do something a little different and post up some Instagram pictures from the past two months, for those who don't follow me on that, so you can catch a glimpse of what has been going on with me. I don't have many pictures but I will say that the majority of them consist of food. Yes, I love food, if that isn't apparent enough. :) You can check out more pictures on my Instagram here or just find me @beautopiaxoxo. I hope you all are doing well and thanks for reading!

Lip Product Fails from Sephora (Sephora Collection, Make Up Forever, and BITE Beauty)
When there is a deal at Sephora, you just can't pass it up. That definitely applied during their Black Friday $10 deals! I grabbed the Origins mask set, Ciate duo nail trinket set, lip duos by Sephora and Make Up Forever, as well as a lip trio by Bite. The product fails, as seen from the title, were unfortunately all of the lip products I purchased. I am not much of a lip gloss person, but that doesn't really stop me from wanting to try them and maybe find a gloss that I actually really like.
Let's start with the Sephora lip duo. These are full-sized cream lip stains in the colors 04 and 08 (Cute Pink) that normally retail for $13 each. 04 was a matte, burgundy red color on the lips that dried quickly on the lips. Application was easy but the biggest con with this one was the result on the lips afterwards. All your lip lines are extremely accentuated which is not at all flattering. It kind of looks like you slapped on paint on your lips that ended up cracking. 08 (Cute Pink) is described on Sephora.com as a "shimmering rich hot pink." It was definitely a hot pink that was not flattering on the lips at all. Also, the formula was just all wrong. I don't know if I got a bad tube or if the formula is just like that but it was clumpy and applied on the lips all streaky and in patches. Definitely not what I had in mind when I had purchased these two lippies.
