Birchbox October 2013 Review


It's that time of the month again, Birchbox came in!! Birchbox is usually a hit or miss for me. Usually they have some good stuff in their boxes but some months are just a total drag. If you aren't familiar with Birchbox, it is a monthly subscription for women (although they do have a men's box now too) that allows you to try out samples of different creams and makeup. I have discovered a lot of great brands thanks to Birchbox so I don't think that I'll be unsubscribing any time soon!


Cost: $10/month

The Half-Up ($9)

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I think that it looks like a great product but I am really bad at doing my hair, even with helping tools. From the pictures that are on the packaging, I could only see myself wearing the low bun. 


ChapStick Lip Care Moisturizer, Hydration Lock ($3.24)

I am an avid user of chapstick. My chapstick collection is way bigger than my lipgloss and lipstick collection. I probably won't use the $1 off coupon just because I have so many tubes of chapstick already.


Serious Skincare Glycolic Gommage Exfoliating Facial  ($1.39)

I've never used a product like this before but I guess that it is a cream that is supposed to make your complexion look smoother, healthie and younger. Can't complain about that, right?


I love the boxes that they include!


Supergoop City Sunscreen Serum ($4)

I wasn't too happy when I saw sunscreen serum in my box. I don't know about where you all are from, but where I live, we don't go outside during the Winter too often. Even right now is way too cold to go outside and spend a lot of time outdoors. I guess that this is supposed to work on past sun damage spots too so I guess it's okay to use. I like the Supergoop brand though. I use their eye cream everyday.


The Balm Stainiac ($3)

I love lip stains. They aren't goopy but they still leave some color on your lips. I've used this exact product before so I know it's good!


Total Value of the Box: $20.63

The value is not bad for only paying $10! If you're interested in signing up for Birchbox, just click here!

Want to sell your old clothes? Poshmark.

Image
If you have a bunch of clothes that you don't wear, then Poshmark is the best thing for you. Poshmark is an app on iPod, iPad and iPhone products. The app lets you post pictures of clothes, shoes, jewelry, etc. that you don't wear anymore. The items can be new with tags, new without tags and lightly worn (just don't try to post your old t-shirt with that pizza stain on it, I can promise you that nobody will buy it). Poshmark is a free application that you can get in the iTunes app store. As of right now, you cannot get the website on your computer. Unless, you have already signed up for an account on an iPad, iPod or iPhone. I signed up for Poshmark about a month and a half ago. Since then, I have sold over $3000 worth of stuff that I don't use anymore. I've sold shoes, jewelry, shirts, pants, sweaters, etc. The app is mostly geared towards women's and girl's/teen's items. Although, I have seen many people post men's and children's items. Th...

Giveaway!

Hey Everyone! So it was really hard for me to decide which subscription box to give you all a giveaway for. Most of you said that you wanted to enter a drawing for  Glossybox . So I was going to make the prize a 3-month subscription to Glossybox . But then I thought, well what if the winner wants something different? So I am going to leave the prize open-ended for you guys. The Prize: The winner gets to choose what they want. It can be anything that has up to a $60 value (since a 3-month subscription to Glossybox costs around $60). So that means that the winner can get a 3-month subscription to  Julep ,  Glossybox  etc. Or a 6-month subscription to Ipsy , Birchbox , etc. It doesn't even have to be a subscription to a subscription-box! It could be a $60 gift card to Target, Sephora, Gap, Visa, etc. Or even an item(s) that you've been eyeing for months but just haven't gotten around to buying. Seriously, it can ANYTHING that you choose with a value of up to $60! S...

Diamond Candles vs Prize Candles

Image
This week I'm trying a different type of post! Since I love subscription boxes, that means that I love surprises. So, of course I would love to try out surprise candles! I wanted to see which type of ring candle was better,  Diamond Candle  or  Prize Candle .  I got both candles in 2 different scents,  Prize Candle  was Blue Cypress and  Diamond Candle  was Be Mine (smells like wild berries, amber and roses). Each of the candles cost $25 a piece. Although,  Prize Candle  offers $10 your first purchase and  Diamond Candle  offers free shipping on orders $45 or more.  Inside both companies candles, there is a ring worth $10-$5,000.  First, the shipping. I ordered both candles the same night, within 15 minutes of each other.  Prize Candle  came 2 days before  Diamond Candle  did. My  Prize Candle  came pretty dirty though, I had to clean off the glass container b...
