Hello ladies!! So I finally received my first ever Birchbox! If you're not familiar with what a Birchbox is, I will give you a little info. It's a monthly subscription of $10.00 and you receive 4-5 deluxe size samples. Sometimes you even get a FULL size of a product. I know last month it was a full size Stila eyeshadow and this month I received a full size Laura Geller product! So if you are interested in this fun little concept then here is the link to Birchbox www.birchbox.com. Now I'm going to show you the products I received in my Birchbox this month!
1. Archipelago Pomegranate Soap- Retails $35
The size I received was 1.1 oz. This soap smells heavenly! When I first opened my Birchbox, this was the first thing I smelled! The description says "it has antioxidants to keep the skin soft and smooth". I'm really excited to try this out. I think you are suppose to use it as a body wash but if not that's what I plan on doing with it! :)
2. Kate Spade Perfume: Twirl- Retail 1.7 fl oz $65 and 3.4 fl oz $80.
The size I received was .05 fl oz. I really liked this perfume a lot! It's reminds me of a clean/floral smell and that's the scents I go for when shopping for a fragrance. I do love to receive perfume samples in the little pump bottles because I like to keep those in my purse for perfume emergencies! :)
3. Laura Geller Baked Blush N' Brighten- Retails $29.50
I received FULL size in this product! I am so excited about this product! It is a blush and highlighter combo and the colors are just amazing! The blush is like a pinky/peach color and the highlighter is a pretty shimmery champagne color. I don't have a blush in this color so I'm was really excited about that and I was even more excited that it is a full size product that retails for 30 bucks! I've already got my monies worth and more for my Birchbox in this product alone! Woo hoo! :D
4. Sircuit Cosmeceuticals Molecular Mist- Retails $36 for 2 fl oz
I received 8ml of this product. The description says "its a high-tech spray to keep you skin hydrated all day. Use it before moisturizing or to set makeup." So I'm thinking this is pretty much like MAC's Fix + spray. I excited to try it :)
5. Deborah Lippmann Stripper To Go Nail Lacquer Removers- Retails $12 for 10 mitts
I received 2 mitts. The description says "Fix you mani on the fly! Each handy packet contains a remover-soaked "mitt" that erases polish without drying out nails". I like these kind's of products that are "on the go". Sometimes when I'm off somewhere and don't have nail polish remover this would really come in handy just to keep in my purse. Also, it's just more convenient to have something like this! Can't wait to use them.
Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed! Have a Blessed day!! :)

So I had a lot of fun putting this look together. One of my favorite beauty girls on YouTube (EmJustLikeYou) sorta inspired me, if you will, on the look. She made the suggestion that I looked like her and I was totally flattered! So I decided to put this look together based of a photo I found off of Bing. (Photo at left)
The eye's were really easy except for the eyeliner. I used a sheer light brown on the lid (Urban Decay Naked) and in the crease I used a darker brown shade (Coco puff from Too Faced Natural Eye Palette) and blended it out to where there was only a hint of color. Then came the fun part! They eyeliner. :) Adele's eyeliner was a thick line with a wing. I had to practice the eyeliner a bit just because I'm not the greatest when it comes to using gel liner (but I am a lot better than I was :D) But to see the way I applied it, please check out my youtube channel. Then what really made the look was adding the white eyeliner You can also see how I applied that in my tutorial. For the face, I did not apply any blush because she had the pale look going on. For the lips to match her skin color, I used a concealer and applied it to my lips then blended it in with a foundation brush. I then applied a clear gloss to give it a shine. So here is a picture of my end results:
So I hope you enjoyed and please check out my YouTube channel for this tutorial as well as other videos!
