BirchBox July Review

(Box #44)

So I had this waiting on me after I came home from a long morning at the Children's Dentist. A great surprise for sure. I grabbed my cup of coffee ( of course in my "I love Damon Salvatore" mug, and dug in.

BirchBox is a monthly subscription that sends you samples of beauty products for $10/month.
They also have a rewards program that you can use to buy full sized products!


This months theme is power play. With two suits  cast product picks . I have never watched the show suits, have y'all?


I'm not going to go into depth with this box. It just didn't wow me!

Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner
(Purple)


Kerastase Fondant Chroma Captive
( yeah that's a mouthful!)



Marcella Bb Cream Golden Glow



Benefit Cosmetics Flawless Oxygen Wow
(Honey)



BirchBox Bobby Pins
(2)

All in all I was happy with

BB Cream
Benefit Flawless

I think I'm going to pause BirchBox for awhile. Just haven't been to happy with it. More than likely because Ipsy spoils me with full sized products!

Did you like this month? What box did you get?

July trying it

July trying it


I've decided to pick out a few products that I haven't tried yet, and let y'all know at the end of the month my thoughts on them.

Physicians formula BB Powder:
I have passed by this product multiple times. I always pick it up, then put it back. Maybe because I'm skeptical on BB Creams/powders. So I finally broke down and bought it.

John Frida Hair Color:
Im trying this because... Well no reason to wow you with. So because I just haven't yet :)

EOS Shave Cream:
I decided to purchase this on a whim. In pretty sure I was just getting tired of the same ole same. Plus the label. Said it moisturizes for up to 24 hours after use. Sound good to me! 

Bombshell Blush: 
I got this blush in my may ipsy bag. I have a ton of blush, and just haven't got  around to using it.

4th of July

Happy 4Th everybody 
Hope y'all  have  a fun, safe one!



 

Here's a peak of our fun filled day!


Of course we had to have a pretty flower center piece for the celebration.
It's kind of a tradition for us, I always buy themed flowers for the holidays. I think it adds a special touch.



We all know the 4th isn't complete with out Fire  works! And no my children do not do these by themselves. I usually am the one running around like a crazy lady, lighting them.


We always do a flag cake, it's tradition! This year I decided to let my kids decorate it. I think they did wonderful!  It's made with white cake, cool whip , strawberries, and blueberries. 


Did I mention I love holidays! The kids woke up to a pretty table this morning.


First picture in a very long time they actually sat still for! 


I made my 2 year old safe sparklers, so he could join the fun and not feel left out.  I used straws and tinsel.
