B... Birchbox! September!

Sorry for the delay.  I know I promised this post on Friday, but I could not get it together.  Story of my life... let me tell you!

Well, September has finally arrived, well my September Birchbox that is!  I would say it is a solid month.  I got 5 items in total.... and I like all of them.

Here are they are:

1.  Incoco Nail Polish Applique (12 strips).  Full sized product (16 strips) sells for $7.99.  Value of sample is $5.99.

2.  Jouer Lip Enhancer (.07 fl oz).  Full sized product (.33 fl oz) sells for $14.  Value of sample $2.97.

3.  LIV GRN Earth Eau de Parfum (approx .5 fl oz).  Full sized product (3.4 fl oz) sells for $60.   Value of the sample $8.82.

4.  Pangea Organics Facial Cream (1 oz).  Full sized product (2 oz) sells for $36.  Value of the sample $18.

5.  Friendship Bracelet (no price)

Total value is $35.78.  I am most excited about the nail appliques.  When I visited Birchbox last month Katia and Hayley were both were them and I loved them.  I was secretly hoping for animal print ones to arrive in the mail, but I will take the blue sparkles for now! :)    I know a few readers were getting their first Birchbox this month, so are you guys happy?  Until next time.....xoxo

P.S.   Two co-workers of mine also get Birchbox.  One got these items (below) and the other has not gotten her box yet (wierd).

T.M...... Tinted Moisturizer. Can't live without it!


I heart tinted moisturizer. For year's I used Biotherm's Tinted moisturizer... but then they stopped selling it. What the bleep I said! Since then I have tried many. I have landed on two favorites. One is a splurge and one is a steal.... both are great.

Top three reasons why I love tinted moisturizer:
1. Makes your skin smooth and even but not in a heavy way.
2. Most have spf in it- can never have enough sun protection.
3. You can just slather it on.... you don't really need to know what you are doing.


Splurge
My favorite tinted moisturizer is Laura Mercier. This baby will set you back $42 at Sephora, but it will last a good long while. You will glow when you wear this. People will notice, but they will just think you got a good nights sleep!

Steal
I only discovered Boots Tinted Moisturizer a few months ago, but I love it. It is only $11.99 at Target or Drugstore.com. Goes on smoothly, covers perfectly and great price; what is not to love?

Go ahead and get that glow! Until next time....xoxo
