August Birchbox Overview!! - A little behind! =)

Good Morning!~!

So I am super duper behind on talking/sharing my birchbox goodies each month with ya'll! In my defense... I have been a little busy! But now that the wedding is over and the honeymoon has come and pass, I will be more diligent about posting my birchbox and actually giving a personal opinion on each of the products! I know it is one thing to just look at the products, but it is also nice to know how well they work and what not! So here is a recap of August's products:



Images from my account on BirchBox



Caudalie Premier Cru The Eye Cream: lush eye cream that tackles all the main signs of aging: dehydration, fine lines, loss of elasticity and firmness, puffiness, and dark circles.

FIX Malibu Wish Wash Exfoliating Powder Wash: This fine powder magically turns into foaming cleanser when you add water, which makes it both practical and nifty

Number 4 L'eau de Mer Hydrating Shampoo: The satiny formula is gentle enough to use every day and helps to soften and hydrate strands with natural essential oils and extracts.

Number 4 Lumiere d'hiver Reconstructing Masque: A super-hydrating leave-in treatment. We’re partial to Number 4’s™ Lumiere d’hiver Reconstructing Masque because it infuses moisture and protein (the two things that hair needs most!) into strands, leaving our hair soft, shiny, and in far better shape than it was before.

Zoya Touch Collection: Happily, Zoya’s new Touch Collection has three spot-on taupe shades for your minimalist pleasure. Each polish has a slightly different character: Minka is the lightest and a true nude; Shay is slightly darker and pinker; and Pandora is more of a rose-buff hybrid. All three are extremely opaque, with just a touch of shimmer.  

Twistband Hair Ties: These chic hair ties keep hair secure without snagging strands or leaving ugly creases. Best of all, they look as good on our wrists as they do in our ponytail.


I promise to go into more depth on my September BirchBox! I also was able to get my hands on  a FNO BirchBox!!! So I will definitely share that as well!!

Ummm what month is it?! Opps... July BirchBox!!!

Hello, hello, hello -
Well I have been severely MIA from blogging for quite a while!! The last 2 months have been CRAZY!!! I am getting married in less than two weeks, so all of the final preparations are in effect for the wedding! But, I was going through my room, and duh, I saw my July birchbox sitting there untouched since the day I first received it and opened it. I had set it aside so I could blog it! Well that was almost a month ago, since my August Birchbox should be arriving anytime now! So let me get in a quick review of what I received in my birchbox. In the month of July, designer Cynthia Rowley contributed to the choices and inside the box you will find some of her all time favs. I have not used any of these products yet because I was waiting to take pics and blog... but I am sure they will NOT disappoint!

**July BirchBox**

Hope you enjoy!

Talk to you later

* June BirchBox *

I recently joined Birchbox and received my June Birchbox on Saturday!!!

For those of you that don't already know ~ BIRCHBOX is a company you can sign up for that will send you deluxe beauty samples on the 10th of each month. You answer questions that relate to your skin type and makeup preferences and they send you samples that match your results. The cost is $10.00 per month, or you can pay for the whole year at once, but let me tell you, I think it is totally worth it! This is my second birchbox, and there are things in both this one and my first one that I was really impressed with. It gives you an opportunity to try things that I wouldn't have tried otherwise. You may click on the "BIRCHBOX" link above for a more detailed description of what it actually is and how it works.

Every month BIRCHBOX comes up with a theme. This month's theme is travel. Each box comes with a letter and description of each product. (all of the descriptions on the below products and straight from the card that comes with the BIRCHBOX)

So here are my products for June:

The first product is Kate Spade Twirl: "This flirty scent feels carefree and joyful - just the thing to wear on you adventures at home or abroad"

2. Laura Gellar - Baked Blush N' Brighten: Made in Italy, this swirl of warm and cool tones is infinitely versatile - dust on your cheeks for a flattering flush or use the lighter shades as highlighter

3. Nuxe - Ultra Comfortable Body Cream: This Parisian import uses natural honey and macadamia nut oil to keep skin silky

4. Sircuit Cosmeceuticals Molecular Mist: This high-tech spray uses heavy water to keep your skin hydrated all day. 

*Bonus* Deborah Lippmann - Stripper to go nail lacquer removers: Fix your mani on the Fly! Each handy packet contains a remover-soaked 'mitt' that erases polish without drying out nails.

I have been really impressed with the samples and sample sizes that come each month. It is fun to get a little box of goodies each month to try out. The cost may seem a little daunting, but the way I look at it: sometimes I spend more on my lunch in one day!!! 

It's late, I'm going to bed!
