Packages.

Do you want to hear something totally bonkers?

Well, if you're already reading this, you already are!

So I'm the type of gal who get super excited about packages arriving.

I received test tube last Friday.

I've been crazy off the charts busy and literally could not find the time to enjoy opening the 

New Beauty Test Tube October Package

until last night. That's 4 days of waiting - a new record.

Man, oh man, my schedule has never been more jam packed. But yet, here I am, taking my time, writing to my lovely blogheads. I actually had to write in a  block off time to do this post!

Back to the point - I'm sharing my stash with y'all.

Although I haven' had the opportunity to try 'em all yet, here's what came in the good bag:

Garnier® Skin Renew Clinical Dark Spot Corrector

I like the smell and feel of this product. Let's just hope it works! I'll keep y'all posted in a couple of weeks when results are expected. 

Hydroxatone® 90 Second Wrinkle Reducer & Instant Wrinkle Filler

LashFood® Nano-Peptide, Natural Eyelash Conditioner

Kneipp® Herbal Bath

Who doesn't want lavendar oils around? It always makes me feel instantly relaxed and pampered, like I'm at a spa.

Ahava® Extreme Day Cream & Essential Daily Moisturizer

Moroccanoil® Glimmer Shine

I'm super excited to try this! I currently use S Factor's Shiny Happy People - and I love it, but I'm willing to give this product a shot. 

dr. brandt’s® pores no more® anti-aging mattifying lotion

Kerstin Florian Kräuter Fuß Balm

TestTube, Baby!

Just got my first New Beauty Test Tube package, and although the products were fantastic, the New Beauty magazine was extremely disappointing.

I first noticed New Beauty on the magazine racks in May at the airport as I was coming back from my lil vacay in Hawai'i. With a clean bold cover, this magazine stated that it was brand new and different from anything else with an insane price tag of $10. Ummmmm, yeah.

But I was intrigued. Ten dollars! Well, it must be fan-freakin-tastic!

And so, when it came with my Test Tube buy, I immediately opened it up to devour each and every page only to find out it's all about:

1) the latest greatest cosmetic surgeries.

2) youth!  I mean, like, above and beyond obsessed.

3) how to beautify yourself, as defined by Hollywood.

Come on NewBeauty folks! This is the exact same bullshit that all the other magazines feed us. 

You're not new. You're not innovative. You're not different. And you sure as hell aren't worth $10 a month. 

But enough of my bitching, here's the good stuff it came with:
