October 2015 Birchbox

      Another Birchbox post since my last one was super late and I didn't want this one to be delayed either. Here's a quick look at what I got this month. The sample choices this month were all mascaras and I decided to go with the new Benefit Roller Lash. I don't really use mascara anymore but having a nice sample size mascara in my possession will be good for those sudden moments if I decide that I want to put some on. I rarely went through a full size mascara back in the day anyway. If you've been following me for awhile, you would be able to guess that the product I am most interested in trying is the Macadamia dry shampoo. I am all about dry shampoo since my fine, second day hair pretty much always needs a pick-me-up, so I am always interested in trying new dry shampoos. Overall, I am pretty content with this month's products.

Macadamia - Style Extend Dry Shampoo

Benefit - Roller Lash

N4 - Restore & Repair Oil

Biorepublic - Cucumber Breeze Soothing Fiber Mask

Too Cool for School - Dinoplatz Pearl Bay Invasion (#2 Baby pink clam) - shimmering base or highlighter

July 2015 Birchbox

      This month's box is about going bold and Birchbox definitely made that clear with the bright, colorful box design. Summer is definitely the season to bring out the bright lip colors and just have fun! The sample choice for July was one of three Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick and I got it in 13 bella. This is the only product I tested out so far and let me first say that the color is definitely very intense and not for the faint of heart. Unfortunately, this product was a no-go for me. It accentuated lip lines and didn't dry fully to a matte finish. It reminds me very much of the L'oreal Pro-last Lipcolor. Perhaps I will do a review on both of these later on.

May 2015 Birchbox

Finally back with a Birchbox post (although I am late on this as it is June already)!

      First off, how cute is the box? Birchbox has been coming out with all these cute designs on the boxes recently. I was definitely pleased with May's Birchbox as I got some goodies that I am excited to try out. For my sample pick, I chose the Macadamia Nourishing Moisture Oil Treatment. I had heard many good things about this before so I knew I wanted to choose this one when I saw the choices available. The second item I am most interested in is the Benefit Total Moisture Facial Cream since I have never tried anything from Benefit's skin care line. I think I will be using the Jurlique Advanced Serum mostly along the neck and decolletage area as my decolletage area has experienced way too much sun and need some repair there.
