July Birchbox Hits and Misses

I was quite happy with my July Birchbox! Probably my most favorite item from this box would have to be the full size Skinny liquid eyeliner from Eyeko. This eyeliner is great, it last all day and does not seem to smudge. I like to put it on my lower lash line because it's the only eyeliner I've ever used that actually stays on my lower lash line.

Post #100 and an Update

Woo hoo for post number 100 on my blog! LOL :)

An now for an update as to why I have been MIA from my blog for so long. I started having some sinus issues around the middle of June and was put on antibiotics for a sinus infection and they did not help, so my doctor tried another kind and they did not work either. So since she could not figure out what was going on with me she referred me to an ear, nose, and throat doctor. Well My appointment was more than a week away and I started running a fever and coughing really bad, I ended up in the ER with pneumonia and a sinus infection. All of that was caused from a new blood pressure medicine that my doctor put me on around the middle of May, now I have to be put on something different, so I got to spend the majority of my summer sick. But I'm all better now and ready to get started blogging again :) I will be working on some posts over the weekend so keep you eyes opened for them. I'll have a hits and misses of my June Birchbox, August Birchbox first impressions, Some winner/gift mail, my recent empties and a few haul items.

July Birchbox

For the month of July Birchbox teamed up with Glamour magazine to make the  senses themed birchbox. Overall I feel like this box will be a good one. The box contained a mini Color Club nail polish in the color Blue-Ming, a full size Skinny liquid eyeliner from Eyeko, a sample of the Harvey Prince fragrance Hello, a very tiny sample of luminizing moisture tint by Jouer, a Larabar, and some ear buds.

I'm really excited about trying out the Eyeko eyeliner and the Jouer tinted moisturizer. And of course I'm very happy about the nail polish!

I'll be trying out these products over the next month and doing reviews on them.

Did you get a Birchbox this month? What did you think about it?

June Birchbox Hits and Misses

June's Birchbox wasn't too bad of a box, most of the items were hits!

So lets just get the misses out of the way first. The $25 off a purchase at Artspace, I'm not an artsy person and usually the only 'art' that gets hung up on my walls are photographs that I take myself. The other miss was the Apothederm Strech mark cream, I didn't try this, but to me it was a miss because it came not even half full.

Now to the hits. I am in love with the Balm cosmetics Stainiac in Beauty Queen! When I first seen that this was a red colored product I thought there was no way I'd be able to wear it, I was wrong! I love to apply this to my lips, let it dry for a few minutes then top it off with either clear gloss or just some lip balm. The color really sheers out once you spread it over your lips. You can also use this product on your cheeks. The only thing I don't like about it, is it's price, a full size is $17.50.

I also really have been loving the BAND-AID® Brand Adhesive Bandages by Cynthia Rowley, seriously they are so stylish! The price is super crazy, but they are pretty cool.

The John Varvatos for men fragrance sample I gave to my hubby! It smells super yummy and he liked it too.

The Scalisi Skincare Anti-Aging moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 is a really nice moisturizer, it's feels really light but really moisturizing. As far as the Anti-Aging part of it, I don't know how well that works because I feel like you have to use an Anti-Aging product for a while before you see any kind of results.

I have not used the CleanWell individual hand sanitizing wipes, but they are in my purse if I ever need them.
