I wish I was more fancy with my skin care routine, but alas, I am not. I am not a beauty blogger. I don’t have “extensive” knowledge about beauty products and, like most of us (I would assume), I have been switching and trying new products ever since puberty. I go through phases where I…
Saturday was my birthday, but I made a whole birthday weekend out of it! Wouldn’t you? Friday was my RDO (regular day off) and I started the day off with a spa appointment at 10:30 a.m. I hadn’t had a facial in forever, so I thought my birthday was a good occasion to take care…
I was lucky enough earlier this month to snatch up another one of the ever-elusive Target Beauty Boxes (and I think by tweeting about it, I was able to get some other people the oportunity to get in on the deal). The Target beauty boxes don’t come out on a regular basis and when they…
I used to subscribe to Birchbox and enjoyed the $10 monthly treat for a while, but I stopped the subscription sometime last year because my bathroom was overflowing with sample-sized beauty products that I wasn’t able to use up fast enough. Target has come out with a similar sample-box for beauty items a while ago,…
In an attempt to move to more natural skincare products, I’ve tried a few things and thought I’d share some (mostly, but not all drugstore) products that I really like right now. 1. Physician’s Formula Organic Wear® 100 % Natural Origin Fakeout™ Mascara I bought this because I had a coupon and since I had tried…
This month I received Birchbox #34 with some exciting goodies. Egyptian Magic All-Purpose Skin Cream ($2.38) This skin cream promises to do a lot. A LOT. It’s claimed that it’s a face cream, an eye gel, a hair masque, a treatment for burns, and has even been know to heal psoriasis and eczema. Mmh! I am highly…
My Birchbox arrived a little later than usual this month (and I’ve heard it wasn’t just me!), but it did finally arrive and I was very excited to check it out. This time I received Birchbox #6. Here’s what I received in this box (*calculated value of the samples in parenthesis): Marcelle BB Cream Golden…
This month I received Birchbox #21 and I was very pleased with all that was in the box! I was especially excited about the hair treatment and the nail polish! Here’s what I received in this box (*calculated value of the samples in parenthesis): Shea Terra Organics Rose Hips Black Soap Deep Pore Facial Cleanser ($4):…
I got my Birchbox last week and I got box #58 this time. Here’s what I received this month (*calculated value of the samples in parenthesis): Havvn Night Cream ($4) I am very intrigued with this, because it’s a 100% natural (free of parabens, petrochemicals, sulfates, or dyes) night cream with anti-aging properties. Sounds good to…
I am a little bit late with my February Birchbox review. Last month I received box #1. Here’s what I received (*calculated value of the samples in parenthesis): Bain de Terre passion flower COLOR PRESERVING SHAMPOO ($1.51) and Bain de Terre passion flower COLOR PRESERVING CONDITIONER ($1.70): I am always looking forward to shampoo and conditioner samples, because…
