June 2014 Favorites

Hello everyone!

      Can you believe it's July already?? I feel like my summer has just started. Today's post will be my first favorites post featuring some some items I have been using for quite awhile now and some newer acquisitons.

April 2014 Birchbox Unboxing!

The monthly Birchbox unboxing!

      There's the saying, "April showers bring May flowers." This month, Birchbox went with a rainy day theme and even the tissue paper was blue. As usual, I got 4 samples, along with one extra, in this case, a lifestyle extra. FYI, I will include links after each product if you are interested in checking them out or are looking for more information.

 

February 2014 Birchbox Unboxing!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! :)

     It's already almost the midst of February, how time flies doesn't it? Here's my monthly Birchbox unboxing post and a look at the things I got. This month Birchbox collaborated with Us Weekly

Paula's Choice - RESIST Ultra-light Antioxidant Concentrate Serum 

This product was super greasy for me and didn't absorb well. I really did not like this product.

Value: $5.10, 0.17 fl oz. [Regular: $30, 1 oz]

Sarahpotempa - The Half Up

This is a tool used to help create half-up dos or low buns  perfect for short or fine hair according to the packaging. I found it very hard to use and not good for short or fine hair. It was hard to do a low bun for me because I have quite a lot of hair. Overall, I was not impressed with this product.

Value: $9

W3ll People - Universalist Multi-Use Color Stick in #8 Dusty Rose

This product is meant for the eyes, cheeks and lips. Made from all natural ingredients and infused with organic aloe. I think it's great that it's comrpised of all natural ingredients, but I don't care much for this product that just adds color. I tried this on my lips and didn't like the taste of it.

Value: could not determine since weight was not included with sample package

[Regular: $33, 10 g]

Whish - Three Wishes Body Butter

Another product I'll be able to throw into my bag due to its size! Smells nice and fresh.

Value: $3.52, 22 ml  [Regular: $24, 150 ml]

This month's beauty extra was two tea samples from Harney & Sons Fine Teas. They are single silken wrapped satchets. I got one in White Vanilla Grapefruit and another in Paris (which consists of black tea with fruit and caramel.)

Value: $0.96 for 2 satchels  [Regular: $9.60 for 20 satchels]

      Overall, I was not impressed with this month's box and it was a miss for me. I didn't like the products and am only interested in the tea samples and the body butter. As usual, the box, in terms of value is over the $10 paid for. I know that not every box will be a hit for everyone, but hopefully, the next box with contain more products to my liking. 

      Thanks for checking out my post! I hope you all have a wonderful day and a wonderful Valentine's Day. If you like what you see here on my blog, follow or leave comments! :)
