June Birchbox

June 13th, 2012 | Posted by Amy in Birchbox | style - (0 Comments)

This week my June Birchbox came in the mail!

This month’s box came loaded with some unique goodies.

Ada Cosmetics Bronzer

Likewise Facial Moisturizer

Masqueology Brightening Mask

theBalm cosmetics Stainiac in Beauty Queen

Cynthia Rowley Dress Up Band-Aids

I have never used a facial mask so that will be something fun to experiment with.

I LOVE the lip stain. It colors your lips without making them feel sticky. It is a really pretty pink rose color. I didn’t even know there was a such thing as “lip stain.” And that is why I subscribed to Birchbox

Happy Wednesday!

May Birchbox Arrived

May 15th, 2012 | Posted by Amy in Birchbox | style - (0 Comments)

My second Birchbox came in the mail!

The theme of this month’s Birchbox is Gossip Girl. I have to admit the only thing I know about Gossip Girl is that it’s some TV show…that’s it.

These are some of the exciting things that came in the box:

Color Club Gold Nail Polish-Disco Nap, a metallic gold polish
Dr. Jart Waterfuse Cream
Kerastase Perfume
Stila Liquid Eye Liner
Kerastase Shampoo and Conditioner
A Note Card

My two favorites are the nail polish and note card. I am a nail polish freak and almost always have my fingers and toes painted. As far at the note card goes, I love sending random cards and notes to my family & friends. Those simple, little things you do for people always mean the most (never forget about them).

I have to admit, I am not really a makeup kind of girl. Of course I wear makeup but I am not that girl who gets crazy excited about walking down the cosmetic isle. I am not sure if a Birchbox subscription is totally for me but it’s only my second box. It is definitely a fun surprise I get to have every month! And is it something special I get to have to myself.
