SEPTEMBER BIRCHBOX


EVERY MONTH I LOVE RECEIVING MY BIRCHBOX! I'VE BEEN WITH THEM EVER SINCE THEY STARTED AND I JUST CANT LET GO......

YES, I MUST SAY THERE WERE MONTHS I WAS LIKE, "WHAT THE EFF?" BUT THEN AGAIN, I STILL HEART THEM BECAUSE THEIR POINT SYSTEM MAKES IT ALL BETTER! I USE MY POINTS TO REDEEM FULL SIZED ITEMS AT NO EXTRA COST.

IT COST $10 A MONTH OR $110 YEARLY WHICH IS WHAT I HAVE BECAUSE THE 12TH BOX IS FOR FREE AND I DONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT PAYING MONTHLY. THEY SEND YOU SAMPLE,DELUXE AND FULL SIZED ITEMS CATERING TO YOUR NEEDS THAT YOU SPECIFIED IN A QUIZ/PROFILE.

MY SEPTEMBER PICKS



WHAT I HAVE RECEIVED WAS A LACE TWISTBAND WHICH IS NOT SHOWN IN THE PIC BECAUSE I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO USE IT,MIGHTY LEAF TEA BAGS,BOSCIA FACE CREAM,KATE SPADE TWIRL PERFUME,JOUER MATTE TINTED MOISTURIZER AND A COLOR CLUB NAIL POLISH.

NOW THE ONLY THINGS I HAVE TRIED WAS THE TWISTBAND, WHICH I LOVE AND THE KATE SPADE TWIRL PERFUME WHICH REMINDS ME OF THE JUICY COUTURE PERFUME I HAVE AND I CANT REMEMBER THE NAME OF IT, OOOPPPSSS! I HAVEN'T TRIED THE REST, I'VE BEEN BOMBARDED WITH SO MUCH SAMPLES AND ITEMS TO TRY OUT THAT IM GOING CRAZY OVER HERE LOL.

I DID LIKE THIS MONTHS BOX BECAUSE IT HAS MY FAV COLOR NAIL POLISH THAT I'VE WANTING TO GET AND A BOSCIA ITEM THAT IVE WANTING TO TRY BECAUSE I AM IN THE MARKET FOR A NEW FACE CREAM. ONE MORE THING, BIRCHBOX IS EXPANDING! THEY NOW HAVE A LOOKBOOK! A LITTLE BOOK SHOWING LATEST TRENDS, HOW CUTE!

TILL THEN, ADIOS CHICAS!

ATTENTION BEAUTY/FASHION BLOGGERS

HAS ANYONE EVER DONE OR MAYBE IS CURIOUS ABOUT BEAUTY SWAPPING THINGS? IM INTERESTED IN DOING A BEAUTY SWAP WITH SOMEONE THATS IN MY CIRCLE OF FOLLOWERS. I THINK IT WOULD BE A GREAT EXPERIENCE AND A GREAT BIG SURPRISE FOR EACH OTHER!

IF YOU'RE WONDERING WHAT THE HECK IS BEAUTY SWAP, ITS YOU AND ANOTHER GIRL GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHERS LIKES/DISLIKES, SHARING A WISHLIST OF THINGS U/THEY MIGHT WANT TO TRY OR PERHAPS THEY LIVE SOMEWHERE WHERE ITS NOT VERY RESOURCEFUL, SO YOU BUY STUFF ANYWHERE FROM DRUGSTORE MAKEUP TO HIGH END,BODY CARE, HAIR CARE AND EVEN FASHION ITEMS FOR EACH OTHER SET ON A PRICE LIMIT YOU BOTH AGREE ON. THEN YOU PACK EVERYTHING IN A BOX ALL NICELY DONE AND SHIP IT OUT! THEN YOU AND THE OTHER GIRL JUST POST A BLOG OR VIDEO ON YOUR EXPERIENCE.

YOU CAN ALWAYS CHECK OUT BEAUTY SWAPS ON YOUTUBE (CHECK IT OUT) FOR BETTER UNDERSTANDING AND TO SEE WHAT OTHER GIRLS GET.

IF YOU THINK YOU'RE THAT GIRL, PLEASE EMAIL ME OR LEAVE A COMMENT. SO LETS GET THIS STARTED!!!!

BTW, IF TOO MANY IS INTERESTED, AS I CAN ONLY SWAP WITH ONE, PLEASE DO CONTACT THE OTHER PERSON WHO YOU SEE INTERESTED OR IF I HAPPEN TO RECEIVE ANY EMAILS, ILL REFER THAT PERSON TO YOU!

LOOKING FORWARD TO ANY PROSPECTIVE PARTNER IN BEAUTY CRIME!



PLEASE BE TRUSTWORTHY AND NOT A SCAMMER, AS PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF OTHERS, NOT KOOL AT ALL. LETS ALL REMEMBER THAT THERE IS SUCH THINGS AS KARMA. THANK YOU!



MY FIRST AND LAST GLOSSYBOX




HELLO AGAIN! AS YOU CAN SEE IM SUPER LATE POSTING MY GLOSSYBOX, I JUST BARELY RECEIVED IT.....YOU ALREADY PROBABLY SEEN REVIEW BLOGS AND VIDEOS ON IT WHICH I WONT BOTHER REVIEWING! AAHHH THIS COMPANY MAKES ME WANNA PUNCH THEM IN THE FACE! I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEY CAN CHARGE $21 PLUS TAX BECAUSE I LIVE IN CALI AND IT TAKES 3 FRIKIN WEEKS TO RECEIVE MY BOX, MIND YOU, THE TRACKING NUMBER DIDN'T WORK.

WHAT I GOT

  • ILLAMASQUA IN PURITY- THIS IS THE COLOR I WAS WISHING FOR, SO IM THANKFUL FOR IT!
  •  ELLIS FAAS GLAZED LIPS IN L302-IMAGINE MELTED CHOCOLATE ON YOUR LIPS....PRETTY MUCH A MODERN BROWN GOTH COLOR, DOESN'T LOOK BAD AT ALL ON MY SKIN SINCE IM LIGHT COMPLECTED.BUT EXTREMELY DIFFERENT FROM MY USUAL PINKS AND NUDES.


I WONT MENTION THE OTHERS BECAUSE THEY ARE THE SAME FROM OTHERS. ULTIMATELY I CANCELLED GLOSSYBOX BECAUSE I JUST FIND IT RIDICULOUS TO PAY THAT MUCH AND NOT RECEIVE MY BOX ON TIME. I WOULD RATHER SPEND THAT MONEY ON OTHER THINGS.

VERDICT: BOX WAS OK, NOT IMPRESSIVE AT ALL, WOMP WOMP....IF I SEE ANY IMPROVEMENTS IN THE FUTURE, I MIGHT CONSIDER THEM AGAIN, THATS A MAYBE

               DISAPPOINTING!

                  HAPPY THOUGHTS NOW!

QUICK MINI ULTA HAUL

HELLO HELLO AGAIN! I WENT TO MY LOCAL ULTA TO TAKE ADVANTAGE ON SOME OF THEIR SALES! I NEEDED SOME FALL COLOR VARNISHES LOL OK OK, NAIL POLISHES. I WONDER WHY CALI PEOPLE DON'T USE THE WORD VARNISH INSTEAD OF NAIL POLISH?


THIS WILL BE A QUICK POST SINCE ITS NOTHING SPECIAL, JUST NAIL POLISHES AND ONE EXTRA SHARE ITEM THAT I EXTREMELY LOVE! ULTA IS HAVING A SALE ON THEIR ULTA BRAND NAIL POLISHES FOR $2, I THINK RETAIL IS $6 BUT IN MY OPINION ITS NOT WORTH $6. I WOULD RATHER FORK OUT EXTRA MONEY FOR OPI, ESSIE OR NOT FORK OUT THE MONEY AND GET WET N WILD MEGALAST NAILPOLISHES, THE QUALITY IS SOO MUCH BETTER, I THINK! BUT FOR $2 ULTA BRAND, I HAD TO TRY THEM SINCE THEY DO OFFER PUURRTTY COLORS!

FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: pinata-yada-yada,moody blues,limelight,concrete evidence

SO FAR I HAVE TRIED CONCRETE EVIDENCE WHICH IS A CREAM PALE GREY, AND THAT REQUIRED LIKE 3-4 COATS!!! IT WAS JUST NOT PIGMENTED AT ALL.THEN, I TRIED MOODY BLUES AND THAT WAS ONE COAT, IT WAS SUPER PIGMENTED BUT NOT EVEN ONE FULL DAY IT STARTED TO SLIGHTLY CHIP, EHHHH. BY THE WAY, THE GLITTER ONE IS JUST GLITTER, YOU CANT GO WRONG LOL

ULTA DID HAVE A ONE DAY SALE ON THEIR BUTTER LONDON, SO I WAS THERE WHEN THEY OPENED IN THE MORNING JUST TO PICK THE COLORS I WANTED AND NOT BE LEFT WITH COLORS THAT I WASN'T FEELING.IT WAS A BUY ONE AT $14 AND GET THE SECOND FOR FREE! THIS WAS MY CHANCE TO TRY THIS BRAND FOR THE FIRST TIME.

FROM LEFT TO RIGHT-shag,bossy boots (shag is the latest fall color for butter london)

bossy boots- The first pic didn't do it any justice,above pic looked grey. This color is different, it reminds me of glow in the dark stuff but without it having to be in the dark.GLOW IN THE LIGHT!

I HAVEN'T TRIED THEM YET, BUT WHEN I DO, ILL SHARE WITH YOU GUYS. SO EXCITED!

ITEM TO SHARE WITH YOU ALL!


ITS THE ONE N ONLY ARGAN OIL HAIR TREATMENT THAT YOU CAN BUY AT SALLYS BEAUTY SUPPLY STORE OR AT ULTA, BUT ULTA OFFERS THE BIG BOTTLE FOR $11.99 AND  WITH THEIR WEEKLY COUPONS, I BELIEVE ULTA OFFERS THE BETTER PRICE AND QUANTITY! THIS STUFF IS AMAZING, I HAVE COLOR TREATED HAIR AND AFTER GOING THROUGH MANY PROCESS TO LIGHTEN MY OLD BLACK HAIR TO LIGHT BROWN/BLONDE(OMBRE), I WAS IN NEED FOR SOME SOFT HAIR! THIS INDEED HAS HELPED WITH MY DRY TIPS AND OVERALL GAVE IT SHINE THAT MY HAIR NEEDED! BUT SADLY TO SAY, SUMMER CAME AND NOW ITS LEAVING, ITS TIME FOR MY FALL HAIR! BUT I WILL CONTINUE TO USE THIS.

ARE ANY OF YOU PREPARING FOR THE FALL?
UNTIL THEN, I LEAVE YOU WITH A

THE SCOOP

IT'S  A MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION THAT WILL COST YOU $49.95 PLUS S&H AND IN SOME AREAS SUCH AS CALI, YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR TAX,EHHHH....TOTAL AMOUNT I PAY EACH TIME I OPEN UP A BAG, $59.27, KINDA STEEP, I KNOW, BUT IN ACTUALITY YOU RECEIVE ATLEAST $100 AND OVER OF DESIGNER PRODUCTS SO IT AINT BAD AT ALL

HAPPINESS GAURANTEE

ITS 100% TRUE! EXCELLENT SERVICE,EXCELLENT PRICE AND PERFECT EXCELLENT BAG!!

MY BAG

NOW I CHOSE A STEVE MADDEN SNAKE TOTE($98) AS MY FIRST PICK AND WAS PRESENTED WITH OTHER ITEMS LIKE THE BIG BUDDHA CLUTCH WALLET($52) AND A NECKLACE THAT I CANT REMEMBER BUT I KNOW IT WAS WORTH $42 SO THE VALUE OF MY BAG WAS $192, I GOT REALLY LUCKY ON THIS ONE.....

I PRESENT YOU MY STEVE MADDEN TOTE



NOW WHEN I RECEIVED THIS BAG, OMG! IT WAS HUGE, I DON'T KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT IT TO BE HONEST? IT'S CUTE, BLACK AND I JUST LOVE THE GOLD HARDWARE ON IT! THE BAG WAS WELL MADE, NO SMELL AND MY GOSH, I CAN PACK MY WHOLE ENTIRE VANITY INTO IT! HAHA KIDDING.....NO REGRETS PICKING THIS BAG, BUT I SOMEWHAT WISH THIS BAG COULD BE A LITTLE SMALLER? I DONT KNOW, I JUST NEED TO WATCH MYSELF AND NOT OVERPACK THIS BAG OR ELSE! IT WILL BE UNPLEASANT....THIS WILL BE MY FALL BAG SO IM LOOKING FORWARD TO USING IT

I PRESENT YOU MY 2ND ITEM! THE BIG BUDDHA CLUTCH WALLET



IM SO GLAD THIS WAS INCLUDED IN MY BAG! I'VE WANTING THIS WALLET FOR THE LONGEST TIME, I KEPT SENDING DIFFERENT OFFERS FOR IT AND IT JUST SEEMED NOBODY WAS WILLING TO TRADE OR ACCEPT MY OFFER. I WAS REALLY LUCKY WHEN I OPENED UP MY BAG! AS YOU CAN SEE, ITS BIG, NOT WHAT I EXPECTED BUT I THINK ITS PERFECT! IT ALSO HAS A MIDDLE FLAP POUCH THAT YOU CAN DETACH IT FROM THE WALLET. THIS WAS REALLY WELL MADE AND IT JUST LOOKS SO GOOD IN PERSON! 

LASTLY, MY 3RD ITEM 




I ORIGINALLY RECEIVED A NECKLACE THAT I DIDNT WANT, IT WASNT MY STLE AND THIS WAS THE ONLY ITEM I HAD TO TRADE, EASY, HUH? SO I SENT OUT OFFERS AND SOMEONE ACCEPTED THAT NECKLACE AND IN RETURN I GOT THIS CUTE BCBGENERATION RING WATCH THAT VALUED AT $40. ITS  ALL SILVER, SHINY AND VERY COMFORTABLE TO WEAR. I CAN WEAR IT ON ANY FINGER AND I DON'T FEEL LIKE MY FINGER IS BEING STRANGLED AT ALL. NOW I KINDA LAUGHED BECAUSE THIS SMALL RING CAME IN A BIG BOX HIDDEN INSIDE A FAUX LEATHER POUCH WHICH WAS REALLY CUTE!

MY OPINION
I WAS REALLY SATISFIED WITH MY BAG AND THE ONE HANDPICKED ITEM! I HAD NO PROBLEM TRADING THE OTHER ITEM AND ON THE 2ND DAY I WAS READY TO SHIP MY BAG! THAT WAS THE SHORTEST TRADING TIME EVER FOR ME AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE BEST PART! NOW MY BAG VALUED AT $190 BY THE TIME I WAS DONE AND ALL I SPENT WAS $59 SO THAT WAS A HUGE SAVINGS! ITS LIKE XMAS EVERY MONTH FOR ME, I LOOK FORWARD TO IT.
