CocoFeed: Michael Kors Mini Camille Glitz Watch

Coco

I fell in love with this watch when I saw it on JacobTime’s website when I bought the Swarovski Stardust bracelets. The price was way to high so I added them to my mental wishlist. Luckily, I found the same watch on eBags.com on sale for under $200! Still pretty pricey, but this really is a gorgeous watch! I am in love with it!

CocoFeed: Swarovski Stardust Bracelets

Coco

I saw a review about these bracelets online and was immediately obsessed with them. I ordered these two from JacobTime at a pretty nice discount – saving almost $40 total. The grey double bracelet is absolutely gorgeous. The black one is a little more versatile, and I feel like I wear it almost every day now. And as a bonus, JacobTime included a pair of earrings in my order for free. They are pretty nice quality, as well!

Quirky Converge 4-port USB Charging Station in Black Aluminum Review

Coco

I happened across Quirky products through Amazon while searching for an outlet plug with USB ports. I immediately fell in love with their Converge 4-port USB charging station, but was scared off by the high price: $69-89 depending on the color. I, of course, liked the more expensive version: Black Aluminum. Our apartment’s kitchen has black and silver finishes so it would be perfect there!

I decided to Google reviews and found that Quirky was actually offering their Converge for 60% off with the coupon code CONVERGE. 60%? That’s practically free!

With the coupon, the price was dropped from $89 to only $36. And with tax, it was still under $40. AMAZING!

The Converge charging station arrived today and I am already in love with it. It cleans up our kitchen and looks beautiful at the same time. It really is a quality product and that shows even in the top notch packaging. I am so happy with my purchase.

Unfortunately, they do not seem to have the Aluminum (White and Black) versions in stock, but they still have plain Black, Green, Pink, Teal, and White for $69. The coupon still works as of now, but you need to spend at least $30 to get free shipping and with the coupon the item drops below that price. Luckily they have some pretty neat products that are in the $5 range!

I also really like the Pivot Power Surge Protector as well as the Space Bar Monitor Stand. Although, the latter is pretty expensive. I am on the lookout for an extreme coupon for the Space Bar next!

Perfume of the Day: Chloe by Chloe Rollerball

Coco

Since I recently acquired this fragrance via the Sephora Favorites Superstars Set, I figured it would be a great Perfume of the Day post (especially since I have not done one in over a year).

Capturing the spirit of women, the Chloé vision is not about one singular woman, but rather about the rich and varied personalities of all Chloé women.

I would definitely agree that the perfume is VERY feminine feeling. It smells mostly floral to me. It is sophisticated and elegant. Clean. I read a review where the reviewer mentioned that the scent reminded her of Paris. Even though I have never been to Paris, I would have to agree. If Paris was a smell, this would definitely be it.

Notes: Pink Peony, Freesia, Lychee, Magnolia Flower, Lily of the Valley, Rose, Cedarwood, Amber, Honey.

The 0.2 oz Eau de Parfum Rollerball is usually $25, but it is included in the Sephora Favorites Superstars Set for $75. And of course, online stores such as FragranceNet always have low prices.

CocoFeed: December Ipsy – Thinking Of You

Coco

This month’s Ipsy bag arrived! Not super impressed this month, but the Sexy Hair spray smells nice.

The NYX balm would be awesome if it was a different shade, like pink. I kinda want to purchase it in another color because I actually like the formula a lot.

The Cailyn eye shadow is pretty standard, and so is the tarte mascara. Nothing special. Although, I would love to try a different tarte product.

I haven’t tried the Beauty Without Cruelty cleanser yet. Mostly because I simply do not use them that often.

Sephora Favorites Superstars Set

Coco

A $15 off coupon for Sephora arrived in the mail the other day and I knew immediately that I would be making a purchase from Sephora very soon. After some browsing on the site, I decided on the Superstars value set for $75 (worth $225)… which after the coupon, was only $60!!! Not to mention, lots of sample goodies as usual!

This set features bestselling, head-to-toe beauty essentials. With an array of full-size products, from nail polish to styling spray, they’re perfect for every beauty lover. Gift them out to your best friends or indulge yourself with this special holiday treat.

My main reason for trying this set is because I already love Nars Orgasm blush and thought it would be fun to try a few new products. And I have to say… I am way more pleased than I thought I would be! For one, I am actually using the eye liner! And I ALWAYS hated eye liner and Stila. I think this set is definitely a winner and a great gift as well.

I like just about every product in this set and I cannot wait to use them everyday.

This set contains:
– 0.003 oz Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Dark Brown
– 0.25 oz Benefit Cosmetics POREfessional
– 0.10 oz Benefit Cosmetics They’re Real Mascara In Jet Black
– 1.7 oz Bumble And Bumble Surf Spray
– 0.34 oz Chloè by Chloè Rollerball
– 0.4 oz Formula X Nail Color in Ignite
– 0.08 oz Fresh Sugar Rosè Tinted Lip Treatment
– 0.5 oz Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil
– 0.16 oz Nars Cosmetics Blush in Orgasm
– 1 oz Smashbox Cosmetics Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 35 in Light
– 0.016 oz Stila Cosmetics Stay All Day® Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner In Intense Black
– 0.05 oz Urban Decay Eye shadow in Sin

The eye liner surprised me the most. If I keep up with wearing eye liner, I will definitely be purchasing it again. The Argan Oil smells wonderful. And of course, the Nars blush is always a winner.

The jury is still out on the Smashbox BB Cream (I haven’t been a huge fan of Smashbox in the past). And the Benefit POREfessional hasn’t lived up to my expectations, but I will have to use it a few more times to really know for sure.

Regardless, I am very impressed and excited to have this set!
