My November Birchbox

A little joy arrived in my mailbox the other day, aka the monthly delivery of my Birchbox!  As the cooler rainy weather took over most of the days of this week, the little treats in this Birchbox delivery were just perfect for this time of year!  Each of these products was collected to do more good and add more good to my day- who wouldn't want that in life right now or any day?  Thanks for these great products for fall and goodness, Birchbox!

< This Vasanti exfoliant will be great once a week for winter skin, and the Bee Kind body lotion has the most subtle sweetness about it >

< I'm thinking these are the perfect supplies for NYE >

< yummy teas for a hot drink on a cold morning >

My October Birchbox

I always do a little jump of joy when my Birchbox arrives in my mailbox each month.  As an adult, anything in your mailbox that is not a bill is rather exciting, right? The samples Birchbox has been sending my way have gotten better and better, and are always appropriate for the season.  The cooler fall mornings and evenings around here have dried out my skin, and lo and behold moisturizers galore arrived in this Birchbox shipment just in time!  Looking for your own chance at this beauty shipment for yourself?  You can click here and sign up today- as a 3P follower, I'm sure you'll love this beauty delivery just as much as I do!

< Each month the Birchbox team lets you in on their latest obsessions in their Beauty Buzz >

 < A little like Christmas morning for my beauty drawer >

 < I'm looking forward to using this two-step cleanser to purify and exfoliate after a long week- the muslin cloth will help provide a nice polish, too >

< This newly developed Chap Stick Hydration Lock will be in my purse all fall and winter, and the Aqua Lacquer Pop will color my lips without stickiness, which will be perfect for a windy day >

PS- I am crazy with joy over the delightful scent of Folle de Joie in this box!

My August Birchbox

Beauty really is on the inside... for every individual and every single Birchbox box!  This month's shipment was full of treats that I absolutely love!  A fabulous red lipstick that is going to be a new staple for sure, some shimmering new eye shadows to try, an exfoliant that I am expecting to leave my skin shiny-brand-new, and even a bag of tea that smells amazing!  If you haven't tried Birchbox yet, or have just been waiting to sign up, go here and get it done!  The time is now, ladies and gentlemen (yes, they even have a great gift box program for guys)! 

 < This month's projects were about the finishing look- I loved the desktop on this card and have been reminding myself of what finishing school felt like once I 'finished' college! >

 < This stay all day liquid lipstick from Stila is amaaaaazing- I have never had a red match so well with my skin tone, and the 'stay' factor is truly serious.  It is definitely going to be my red-lipstick-kind-of-day bestie.  My 'perfect' smoky eyeshadow arrived crushed!  I am going to see if it is still usable... >

< During days filled with summer heat, a refreshing facial mist is this girl's dream... enter MIYU beauty essence, which is going to make a great addition to my purse for the rest of summer.  And there's that bag of tea I mentioned that smells amazing!  When the mornings cool down well enough for some hot tea to be enjoyed, I will surely be brewing up this concoction!

< Fresh feet wipes... for an exit from the beach or after a day of wearing open-toed shoes!  I am looking forward to treating myself to a mini facial with these WEI buffing beads- all you have to do is add this packet to a quarter-sized dollop of your regular facial cleanser! >

My July Birchbox

A Birchbox delivery adds a little beauty to the day it arrives, and its contents can add beauty any time they are used!  This shipment contained plenty of perfect products for summer vacations, in perfect travel sizes.  My hair will be less tangled, my skin will be more moisturized, my hands will receive a gourmet sanitization, and the new Juicy scent in this box will surely become one of my new go-to sprays.  Not to mention, my face is super excited about this BB cream I get to try!

My June Birchbox

 < loving the new logo >

Another beauty delivery by Birchbox arrived in my mailbox a few days ago, and I had to tear it open with excitement!  I am loving the company's new logo, the cure chevron pattern on the interior of this box, and the signature pink tissue paper!  Not only did this delivery contain a nail polish I can't wait to use and some badly needed tanning towelettes, the marketing materials included in this shipment make me want to travel all over the world!  

< wanderlust... yup, I think I might have a touch of that! >

 < girly pinks- a lip liner and Color Club nail polish I cannot wait to debut >

< cute postcards from 'around the world' >

< an exfoliating face scrub that will be very useful this summer, self-tanning towelettes that I am looking forward to trying this bikini season, and the cutest polka dot nail files that I am going to stash everywhere! >

My May Birchbox

< a box full of joy >

I always jump for joy when something fun arrives in the mail!  A great magazine or catalog, or in this case, a box full of beauty goodies, sure beats all those white envelopes you may dread opening!  Here is a peek into the goodies that arrived in my Birchbox this month.  I have yet to utilize any of these goods, but you can be sure that I will in the next few days, before this month of May is over!

 < sitting pretty >

 < the packaging by Birchbox is always so neat, colorful, and cute! >

 < sunscreen by COOLA, which will come in handy for sunny summer days; AMIKA hair mask- I am looking forward to trying my first hair mask!; and MARVIS toothpaste, perfect for travel! >

< a neat little eyeliner pencil by Sum!ta that I cannot wait to try!  My biggest hint for eyeliner pencils? Blast your hair dryer on warm on the tip of the pencil for a few seconds, to soften the product a little for lining and smudging >

< Fabulous by Isaac Mizrahi- fruity and totally alluring! >

My April Birchbox

Its a BEAUTIFUL day and a beauty filled kind of 3P post here!  A little gem of a beauty-filled Birchbox was delivered to my doorstep yesterday, and after peeling away the pretty pink tissue paper, I was met with some very exciting little gifts!  These little samples are just what I am needing this time of year!

 < Apparently tiny tweaks needs to be my beauty theme right now... obviously! >

 < April how have you come so soon and oh, wait, are those macaroons?! >

 < Sweetness!  Macaroons, eye cream, pink polish, and moisturizer for my hair and skin... plus a free subscription to Women's Health Magazine.  Score! >

< I totally need a bright pink polish, and this color changing one will be fun for the warmer months of this year.  I love a good eye cream and am excited to try this one out, and my scaly-looking hands are in desperate need of some moisturizer! >

Thanks Birchbox!

My Birchbox: March

I love it when a Birchbox delivery arrives in my mailbox, and it's a little bit like Christmas morning when you get to open this little box of surprises!  This month, the awesome Birchbox team sent me my favorite box so far- it included a lip/face stain that I love, a hairband that I have forever been wanting to try out, a perfectly 3P scent, and one of my absolute favorite beauty products- Elizabeth Arden's Eight Hour Cream.  With a few upcoming trips right around the corner, these little samples are going to be the perfect travel companions.  Have you tried Birchbox yet, or shopped their site?  You can sign up here, and do your own little happy dance each month that your Birchbox arrives at your doorstep!

 < A Birchbox perfect for this 3P girl! >

 

< Elizabeth Arden's Eight Hour Cream is great for dry skin, chapped lips, cuticles that need a little love, and ideal for soft feet during summer sandal season- I love it!  And this Benefit Benetint stain is a newfound multitasking favorite of mine- I will be purchasing this for sure >

< A little smirky 3P smile with my new Benetint lip stain and my Fiona earrings >

< Other fun contents in this shipment incude a beautiful Madewell for Birchbox nail file (so girly and fun!), a headband that is going to be stylish in my hair and also fun to wear on my wrist, and a new scent- Miss Me- which is light, sweet, and a wonderful spring scent! >

My Birchbox: February

< Love this packaging- so simple, and so likeable! >

It's always a fun day when Birchbox arrives in my mailbox! As this is only my second shipment, I am still happily trying this out- but how sweet it is to try new beauty samples without having to go anywhere.  The theme for this month's shipment is 'red carpet ready,' which is in perfect timing with this month's award season (the Academy Award excitement, anyone?)  Read on to see what little surprises were in my Birchbox shipment this month...

< The contents: Rockaholic flexible hairspray, Couture La La scent by Juicy Couture, A Ghirardelli chocolate and caramel square, Dr. Lipp original nipple balm for lips, and the Balm cosmetics Mary-Lou Manizer powder >

 < Mary-Lou Manizer powder by theBalm can be used as am eyeshadow, highligher, and all-over shimmer- talk about versatility.  I think I am going to love this >

< I can't resist a sweet scent, and this Couture La La sample has me wanting to use this perfume every day.  The cold winter weather has left my lips feeling rather chapped these days, so I am looking forward to seeing what good this balm by Dr. Lipps can do.  And I always love me a good hairspray, so I will happily try this Rockaholic spray out, and use it as the perfect carry-on if my hair loves it! >

Birchbox, baby!

 < How fun it is to have a bright pink delivery in your mailbox! >

The other day I mentioned that my first Birchbox delivery had arrived, and it is with many thanks to my friend Meghan for getting me excited about these little beauty deliveries.  To have perfumes, lotions, nail polishes, and other cosmetic treats shipped right to you is a special little treat.  Check out the details of this January shipment, and hop on over to the Birchbox website to check it out!

< And there is another cute box inside the shipping package! >

 < All the contents of this shipment- a cute 2013 calendar, samples of face cream from Fresh, Ojion hair serum, cute blue Alessandro polish, eyelid primer from the Balm, and a little dash of Harvey Prince's Skinny Chic fragrance >

 < I will be using this wonderful Ojion oil to help protect my hair in the mornings, and will be stashing this Harvey Prince scent in my car for little refreshing spritzes of green apple, mint, and warm amber throughout the day >

< As blue is my favorite color, I will enjoy giving this polish a try one of these days.  And boy oh boy did I need some primer for my eyeshadows- this  sample from the Balm arrived just in time! >
