My October Birchbox is finally here!

Why does it seem like I’m always the last girl on the planet to receive mine every month?

Oh well at least it’s here now and that’s all that counts right?

Included in my October box was:

1. Redken Shine Flash

A weightless finishing spray that uses camelina oil and vitamin b5 to give you silky, shimmering strands.

2. Tea Forte Minteas

Tea Mints for fitness.

3. Befine Lip Exfoliator

A lip healing wonder. This exfoliator sloughs away flakes and cracks to leave lips velvety smooth.

4. Blinc Mascara

This tubing mascara won’t smudge, smear or run – plus it gives lashes a sassy, glossy look.

5. Pangea Organics Facial Scrub

This all natural scrub uses cranberry seed enzymes and finely ground adzuki bean to clear away dead skin so your products can do their job.

I’d have to say this was another great box from Birchbox, I actually preferred this months to the last one.

What did you receive in your box this month?

Saturday I had to run into CVS to pick up something or another and to my surprise I saw a huge display for the Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm I mentioned a few days ago.

As you can probably guess I picked one up in the shade Pink Punch.

So after a few days of use I’m ready to give a review.

Here are my thoughts….

The good:
* Smells great! A mixture or Fruitty Pebbles and Skittles, yummy.
* Love the color
* Makes your lips feel super hydrated (for awhile)

The bad:
* My lips feel very moisturized for a few minutes and then they start to feel very dry and I have to use more balm
* This leaves behind a filmy residue on the inside of your lips, you know where it piles up and you have to dig it out, yuck!
* Expensive when you compare it to products that work much better for less (EOS, Burts Bees, Etc)

So would I repurchase?

I’d have to say probably not. I paid $4.99 for this and feel like I got ripped off. If you’re interested in trying this balm I’d say wait for a sale. I’ll stick to my EOS and Burt’s Bees balms which are much more hydrating and cheaper!

Have you gotten a chance to try this product yet?

I’d love to hear from you!

How fierce is this Limited Edition Bobbi Brown lip palette?

This 20th anniversary palette features the 10 original Lip Colors launched by Bobbi in 1991-plus 10 bright, ultra modern options.

This would be such a great palette for makeup artists, beauty addicts and just about anyone.

You can obviously wear these shades on their own, but how much fun would it be to play around and create your own custom lipstick blends?

This palette looks amazing and is something I’d love to add to my collection.

What do you think of this LE set?

Will you be picking it up?

Retails for: $60.00 at BobbiBrownCosmetics online or at counters.

Look out!

The New Maybelline Baby Lips Lipbalm Collection is coming to a store near you in October.

What they say:

Say goodbye to basic lip balm and rediscover the lips you were born to have!

The balms are available in in “six flavors” – two clear shades (Quenched and Peppermint) and four tinted ones (Cherry Me, Pink Punch, Grape Vine, and Peach Kiss).

A great deal for what sounds like a great product.

I’ll have to pick up a few of these for sure.

How gorgeous is Nicole Scherzinger?

It seems Nicole, 33, likes to splurge when it comes to her beauty products.

I mean $435.00 for a SPF?!?!

It better make me look 10 years younger for that price, haha.

What do you think of her favorites?

Have you tried any of them yourself?

What were your thoughts?

Have you heard of Birchbox?

I’m sure most of you have, but if not it’s a Beauty Box subscription service where you pay $10.00 a month and get 4-5 deluxe beauty samples delivered to your door monthly.

I’ve been meaning to join for awhile now, but just got around to it last month and yesterday my first box arrived.

Here’s what I received in my September box.

They send out a nice note with each box telling you about the products you’ve just received.

The contents of my box.

1. Colorescience Pro Sunforgettable Mineral Powder SPF 30 Medium.

A mineral sunscreen that evens and mattifies skin + lasts all day.

2.Jouer Lip Enhancer

A lip balm that can hydrate, plump, and condition all in one go.

3. Jurlique Purely Age Defying Firm and Lift Cream

This luxe moisturizer spurs collagen production and new cells to keep skin healthy and youthful.

4. Incoco Nail Polish Strips

Nail strips for your fingers or toes.

5. Attimo by Salvatore Ferragamo

A sophisticated fragrance with delicate peony and jasmine.

6. Birchbox Friendship Bracelet

A friendship bracelet from Birchbox. How cute!

So there you have it my first ever Birchbox.

I have to say I love it and can’t believe I waited so long to join.

Look for reviews of each of the products at a later date.

How gorgeous is this ad?

I have to admit I’m usually not much of a Kate fan, but this ad is just stunning.

The ad is due to to the fact that Miss. Moss has created a lipstick collection with Rimmel London.

The collection features 15 shades.

What do you think of the ad?

Will you be picking up anything from the collection?
