Ok so I know that I am way behind on my BirchBox reviews so here goes...
* BORGHESE- Bango Di Vita Soak(2 packets) Pour these mineral-rich crystals into your bath to make believe you're at the chichi spa retreat. They also soothe dry skin and tired muscles. each packet is 0.35 oz/10g. I have not used these yet, so I can't say whether I like them or not at this point.I have been saving them for a special occasion.
10/10/2012- I used it the other night and absolutely love it. My skin felt so smooth and the smell of it was nice to
*Eyeko- Fat Eye Stick. A BirchBox exclusive, this UK brand's too-cool shadow stick combines creamy color and long-lasting wear. I have used this a few times, its not bad. Probably not something I would have bought.
*theBlam Cosmetics- Stainiac in Beauty Queen. We're crazy about the two-in-one lip and cheek stain: the sheer gel formula delivers a subtle, long-wearing flush. I am not one for stains, and I hardly ever wear blush but this actually isn't bad.
*Yu-Be- Moisturizing Skin Cream. This bestselling, japanese cream has a concentrated formula that heals cracked hands, chapped lips, and other forms of dryness. it's your new carry-on essential. I really like this. It reminds me of carmex.
Lifestyle Extra
*Luna Bar- Luna Minis. Whether we're running errands or hopping on a plane, we always have emergency snacks on hand. These just-sweet-enough treats are our faves. I believe I got this in the Chocolate Peppermint flavor. I have not tried it yet, it is somewhere at the bottom of my purse right now.
Overall this BirchBox was not that bad, it was not my favorite though.
**BirchBox is a monthly subscription that cost $10 a month or you can buy a yearly subscription that will be $110 and you get a month free. If you want more information visit www.birchbox.com :)

Samples, Samples, & more Samples :)
So I know that I have not posted lately. I have been going through all my makeup trying to figure out what I want to write about next. Well I decided that I would do some reviews on some of my favorite products, and then I got going through my sample drawer....holy moly!!! I never realized just how many different samples I have acquired.
Between my monthly BirchBox subscriptions, Myglam(now called Ipsy), samples from magazines, Sephora, and Ulta, my sample drawer is overflowing. Hair products, body lotion, skin care and so much more. So I am going to start working my way through these samples and do some reviews :)

Quaker Soft Baked Oatmeal Cookies
First off I just want to say I LOVE Oatmeal Cookies :)
Now onto my review of the Quaker Soft Baked Oatmeal Cookies. I recieved them compliments of Influenster to try out and review. I had not seen these in the store prior to recieving them but I was excited to try them. I loved that they were actually soft and chewy and not like some other cookies that claim to be soft.
Quaker Soft Baked Oatmeal Cookies are made with whole grain Quaker Oats, contains 6 grams of total fat, and are individually wrapped so you dont have to worry about them going stale after opening the box. The suggested retail of these are $2.69 but I found them at my local Food Lion for $1.99 :) I would reccomend these to anyone( especially those who like oatmeal cookies)

The Many Uses of Ivory
I received this product complimentary for testing purposes from Influenster and Ivory as a participant in the Mom VoxBox campaign,
(Thank you Influenster & Ivory!) I love the way it smells, to me it is the smell of clean. Until getting this product in the Influenster VoxBox , I never knew it had so many different uses. It can be used as laundry flakes, stain remover, and so many other things.
I had always used it as a body cleaser, but it can be used for so many different things. I love that it is gentle on my skin because I have had some issues in the past with skin allergies and it is hard to find soaps that are gentle and don't cause me to breakout. The results from me using Ivory is that my skin has stayed clear and not turned red & splotchy. And last but not least is the price. You can not beat how little Ivory soap cost. I definitely reccomend Ivory to my friends and family.

imPRESS Press On Manicure
I recieved the imPRESS press on manicure complimentary to test from Influenster. I had been thinking about buying these and was super excited to recieve them in my Mom VoxBox.
The idea of them is great but it just does not work for me. I do like how they come in a variety of colors and they are the perfect length for me. I was really sad that I did not like them.They barely lasted an hour before they started falling off or coming loose. I may try them out one more time just to be sure though. For anyone interested,they are available at Wal-Mart, K-Mart, CVS and a few other stores. For more information about imPRESS Press On Manicure visit www.impressmanicure.com

May 2012 BirchBox Review
May 2012 BirchBox Review
This months BirchBox was the Gossip Girl theme. I believe that there were 19 different boxes that you could have gotten. My box was the "Downtown Book Party." This is what I recieved in my May BirchBox.
* BVLGARI- Omnia Crystalline Eau de Toilette Spray- Inspired by lumwinescent crystals (so glam), this elegant scent combines notes of lotus flowers, bamboo, and Nashi pear. Full-Size, $47-$64
This perfume actually doesn't smell too bad. I wouldnt spray more than twice or it would be too strong but I do like it.
*Dr. Jart+ Waterfuse BB Cream- Think of this four-in-one moisterizer, serum, sunscreen, and skin-perfecting tint as the (extremely stylish) Swiss Army Knife of your beauty lineup. Full-Seize, $32
I only used this once, so I am not sure if I really like it or not. I am not really sure about BB creams, I mean I just don't know enough about them. Time for me to study up!
*Ojon-volume advance Volumizing Conditioner- Repair stressed strands with this aromatic hair treament-exotic ojon and monoi oils work together to smooth and hydrate hair. Full-size, $25
I have used this maybe three times. I love the smell of it but I would really love to have the shampoo that goes with it to see if it really is something I would like to buy full sized.
*Stila-sparkle waterproof liquid eye liner- Pearly shimmer meets intense pigment in the lasting liner. Better yet, the pen-like wand makes wiggle-free application a breeze. Full-size, $22
I have not been able to use this just yet. I got mine in the color Flash, which is a brown coppery color. I really wanted the blue one, but I am excited all the same.
*twistband-hair tie- Give your pony a makeover with these colorful, snag-free elastics. 12 pack , $18
I actually like these. I know a lot of people complain about getting theses but I think they are cute. I just don't want to pay $18 for 12, lol.
Extra-
Notecards- text messages are no match for handwritten notes on fun, modern stationary. Set of 12, $10
Honestly I think these notecards are cute, but I wouldnt want to spend $10 on them. But as an extra I think its cool.
All in all I liked this box. I believe this is my 3rd box and so far I have not hated any of them. I think this one is my favorite though. Hope everyone else enjoyed their boxes. Can't wait til the June box comes out.. so excited :)
