Today I have my honeybee gardens buzz box unboxing video. I actually managed to set up my camera before anyone got a hold of my box to open it! Last quarter I was not so fortunate...
Anyhoodles, two of the products in this box were ones to pick a color for from honeybee so I got my standard mascara that I always buy but I also got to try a new loos powder that I am hoping will replace an old bare minerals color that I just love!

This weeks video is all about all the plants that I can almost completely neglect and they can be just dandy or recover easily. All of these plants would be good for travelers for that very reason, and because they do ok or amazingly when not watered often.

I really like buying plants in the clearance section. It's like a side hobby to my plant passion. In all my years perusing the clearance section and subsequently failing a lot at keeping plants alive I have a few tips to help you if you are looking to pick out healthy plants, especially from the clearance section.

So I wanted this to be an end of summer houseplant tour but it didn't get filmed until basically the equinox so its a beginning of fall tour. This tour has all of my plants excluding the ones that I got just after filming this so.... I also rearranged my plants after this to accommodate my growing collection so I will need to have an update video soon especially since my cactus is blooming!!!!!

Today I am planting up a head planter with succulents. I really like how it turned out but I mean if you put a bunch of succulents in a pot then its going to look good, am I right?
I'm keeping this in my entryway along with some pale green and gray pumpkins for a soft fall look. Click HERE to to the video directly on youtube.
Hey guys! I had originally planned to do a sit down unboxing video but I was to excited so that video was like... an hour long of me gushing over lipstick. This box is from Honey Bee Gardens and it's not exactly a subscription box because you order it every season. It isn't automatic which is nice because you don't need to go through anything to cancel it if you don't want it for that season.
I like honeybee gardens because the makeup is excellent quality with extracts that support your skin instead of harming it, and it is affordable. The colors stay on all day, the mascara never smudges, and it gives excellent coverage. Enjoy The video and scroll down for more of my thoughts.

These boxes are always a whole lot of fun and if they don't always then they almost always have a special beauty product like a lotion or bath bomb but in this case a delightful citrus hydrosol and a lovely soap that if I had edited down and posted the other video would have been a few few minutes of Thomas and I smelling and spraying each other like fools. Thomas (who is 4) loves getting packages (who doesn't?) and so he would't leave me alone especially after he smelled everything. It was a little crazy so I am going to do the best with translating my first impressions here beyond 'OOOO!" "Wow thats nice" and more "ooooo!"
The first thing I gravitated to was the lipstick because, well its shiny and I was really excited to see if I got the one I really wanted. San Fransisco wasn't an option on the drop down bar for some reason so on my order I just asked them if they could swap it in for the color I selected and they did! I would like to try the other color of course, but I really, really wanted San Francisco. It is such a beautiful color and it looks so nice with my skin tone. For comparison the foundation that I am wearing is in the shade Supernatural . What I really like about their lipstick is that it doesn't smell or taste weird and it is moisturizing.
I don't really ever use lip liner because I just don't think about it but Zen is such a lovely color and it stays on (like a good liner should) so well and it doesn't feel odd. It doesn't feel as nice as the lipstick (which is hydrating and awesome sauce) but it feels more like a matte lipstick.
Then I smelled the soap. You can smell this through the packaging and wow is it so good! The scent is cinnamon latte and it smells perfect for autumn! I haven't tried it yet but their soap is always lovely.
The hydrosol was of course amazing! I have never had a citrus hydrosol before so I didn't know what to expect because ya know, hydrosols are usually kinda weird compared to the oil but this one is just delightful!
I couldn't decide on what eye shadow to get because their are so many beautiful colors but I have been reading Georgette Heyer books so Canterbury seamed like the obvious choice. Probably because horses. I don't know and you probably really have no idea but I am glad that I picked it. It is such a soft color that darkens up the lid in the most lovely way. I gravitate towards violet neutrals with my eye color because I think they look nice with my skin tone and eye color. I really don't feel like I need any other shadow with this color but I think it would look splendid with a lighter color as well.
They always put a cute little animal in the box as a token of their appreciation. Every purchase supports the animal fund that the company donates to no kill shelters.
Lastly the special gift of the season. They always put in a special gift, last season it was a cute reusable straw cup, once it was a nifty Himalayan salt heart that you can warm up. The bracelet is absolutely lovely and I love how it expands to fit over the hand however it is a bit loose and dangly for me to wear for every day. The quality is excellent as well.
I don't know if I just picked really good colors, or if everything is so good that you can't go wrong but I am extremely pleased with my buzz box this season.
