August BirchBox

BirchBox

I’m so crazy sorry that I haven’t had a post in a while. Seems like this summer is coming to a fast end, which means my brother’s wedding is finally HERE!!

I’m so excited for it to finally be here, seems like my whole summer has been working to get this wedding put together. Finally, it’s time!. 

I’m not saying I did all of it or anything like that but it’s been a crazy summer helping figure out decorations, putting together bouquets and centerpieces. Plus throwing bridal showers and of course attending the bachelorette party.

                                                                                                                           

Anyways, before a take a little hiatus I figured I’d post a review of my August Birchbox!

Augusts Birchbox theme was “Finishing School”

 

                “Once upon a time, finishing school meant an elegant Swiss academy where a young lady went to learn the intricacies of high society. While the concept may feel a bit outdated (truth be told, we’re more likely to sign up for a night class in Photoshop), we love the idea of zeroing in on the details: from the elegance of a handwritten invitation, to the confidence-boosting power of bright red lipstick.”

1.       Juice Beauty- Oil-free moisturizer: This is designed for oily, combination, and blemished prone skin types. It’s also great for all skin types during the hot, humid months. Made without Parabens, petroleum, propylene or butylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfates, pesticides, phthalates, artificial dyes or synthetic fragrances. Never tested on animals.

“Hydrate, quench and restore your skin's natural moisture balance with this lightweight oil-free moisturizer that contains a blend of certified organic grape and pomegranate, soothing aloe vera, vitamin antioxidants and nutrient-rich sea algae to restore the skin's natural balance.”

My review- I like this moisturizer, it really is good for all skin types during the summer. I haven’t decided if I would purchase it after my sample is gone.

2.       Miss Jessie’s Original- Rapid recovery Treatment& Super Sweetback Treatment:   From what I understand this product is geared more towards curly, wavy hair, sadly, this girl has none of. That isn’t stopping me from trying these treatments. Here’s the awesome thing about this you can go on to their website and get free, yes I said FREE, samples of all their products. So if you’re like me and want to try it before spend a bunch of money on a product you might not use, I suggest getting some samples!!

3.       ModelCo- Party Proof Lipstick: I’m not sure of the color, it’s definitely a color I wouldn’t choose myself. So I’m willing to try it and see if I like the color.
“High-impact colours that won’t budge, ModelCo’s PARTY PROOF Lipsticks are a super long-lasting, strong pigment lipstick in ultra-vibrant hues. The rich, non-drying formula glides on effortlessly without drying, caking or flaking.

4.       Violet Oasis- 100% Organic Argan Oil: I’m not sure what it is about Argon Oil, but it seems like everyone now days LOVEs this stuff.. I like Everyone else, whose tried it, love it too!. So when I saw this was in the box I got super excited. Argon oil is amazing for hair, nails and skin. It is one product that can be used so many different ways.  The other thing I love so much about this is the fact that it is 100% organic, I’m not sure about you, but if I’m putting something on my face I want to know what’s in it and knowing that this is completely organic and natural makes it’s a million times better.

5.       Birchbox – Bobby Pins:  I love how cute these are, however they are very hard to use. I’ll have to mess with them and see if I can make the work better. I hope that I can figure out a way, because they are adorable.

That is all from me to day! Hope you all have a wonderful day and weekend!
I can’t wait for my next post showing the breakdown of all the decorations and fun from the Wedding!!

Until then, see you soon!
