March Birchbox

So this month I got a subscription to Birchbox!
I got my first box and I was like a kid on Christmas.
I love getting packages and surprises so this is right up my alley.
And to top it all off I love everything I got except one things that's totally out of my comfort zone.
Here is what I got in my March Birchbox.

I snapped a picture of my box!

Oh and ps if you live under a rock...
Birchbox costs $10 a month and you can cancel at anytime.
They send you like 5-6 beauty products in this adorable box complete with pink tissue paper.
Just a fun and cheap way to try new things!!

Here is what I got...for real this time.
 Yes this is really called stripper on the go go.
I already used one of my samples. I got two.
It worked just fine but I don't see myself buying them.
I don't often find myself in an emergency nail polish situation on the go go.
Sooo ill stick with my cheap bottle as opposed to these 12 dollar pads.
 THIS is what I will never use. Maybe try but I don't see it going well.
It is sticker eye liner and you have to like cut it to the shape and size you want it.
I know certain people that this could work for....not me.
 Fashion tape!
I actually have some of this already, not sure if it is the same brand.
I will use it and we will if  it is better than the one I already own.
 This is an oil treatment for your hair. Orofluido Beauty Elixir to be exact.
Before I read what it actually was I thought it was perfume.
It smells like a DREAM and I cant wait to try it!
 Speaking of smelling like a dream...
This perfume is Annick Goutal - Eau d' Hadrien.
Don't ask me to pronounce that...BUT it smells awesome. I would buy this for sure.
David told me it smells like pineapple and I quickly scolded him telling him it smelled nothing like it.
Well then I watched someone elses BB video and that girl said "Mmm smells like pineapple"
I still do not get that scent AT ALL...but obviously to some it does.
Lastly I got this Juice Beauty face wash.
I have not tried it yet just because I never stray from my face wash.
I will try it sometime though. Maybe after the wedding because I really don't want to mess up my skin right now.

My makeup bag!


Lately, I have been kiind of obsessed with trying new products.
Nothing fancy, just branching out.
Last week, David took me on a little weeknight date to Target...
and bought me make up. Yes. Best date ever.
I got a bunch of new things, and here are some that I really like!

The ELF blush and bronzer combo palette.
 I like this a lot! And for $3, you can't beat it.

I also got an ELF eyeliner pencil in Turquoise
It was only $1, and comes with a sharpener in the lid.
I  didn't hear about ELF until recently and I have liked most products I have gotten.
If you aren't familiar, it is make up that is sold for $1, $3, and $5 dollars.
The only thing I bought and didn't like so far was their mascara.
You can find it at Target, and I'm not sure where else.

I also got a Revlon lip butter.
It is a new product, and I really like mine.
I thought it would be more "buttery" but it is more glossy than regular lipstick.
I got this in peach something or other. I really like  it.


Maybelline eye tatoo
This is a cream eye shadow and I got it in the white looking color.
I honestly don't like the way it feels on my finger when I put it on.
I just use it under my regualr eye shadow and it makes it last longer and stick really well.

Garnier roll on concealer
I heard a lot  of other people talk about this.
It is a roll on concealer that gets rid of puffiness and dark circles.
It says is also has caffine in it. Kinda weird but whatever.
I love it.

Last but not least.
This dry shampoo
I think I already mentioned this but I had to do it again.
It is awesome. You do have to go to Ulta or Sallys for this. but it works serious MAGIC!
Go buy it if you are into dry shampoo.

What are your favorite beauty products?
aka what else do I need to go get??

What I am loving today!


There is something about spring and warm weather that just makes me smile.
I can't believe tomorrow is March!!
Time is FLYING!

I am loving the weather we are having today.
It is my definition of perfection.
I hope to take Cade outside after his nap!
Makes me want to sit out side and drink iced tea:)

I am loving this sweet baby
I will be so sad when I move after my wedding and wont see him almost everyday.
But I am looking forward to sleepovers at Aunt Sissy's!

I am loving TEA from Starbucks
Chai
OR
Passion
I have loved chai tea forever,
but the passion is a new find and I love them both.

Dry shampoo
Batiste dry shampoo specifically.
I have tried two other kinds before and was never impressed,
but then I heard about this and bought it and I love it.
I have the thinnest hair known to mankind(dead serious).
This stuff works wonders.
I can actually  go a day without washing my hair now.

I hope everyone is having a nice little Wednesday.
I am off to look for hostess gifts for my shower in a few weeks:)
