February 2015 Favorites

Welcome to my February 2015 Favorites! I am currently on a Project Pan and on a low buy (Click here to watch my small Ulta Haul), so my favorites are going to be a little bit smaller. I hope you still enjoy! 

1. Bumble and Bumble Styling Lotion- I finished up this product this month. I loved the consistency of this hair lotion. It was a liquid, but moisturized my hair so well! If your hair is looking a little dry try this out! 

2. Katherine Cessna Brown Liner- I received this in my January Birchbox and fell in love with it! It stays all day. I love that it is a dark brown because  it is  less harsh on my fair complexion. 

3. Loreal Paris Carbon Black Telescopic Liner- I have been trying to use up some of my liners and I chose this one to start. This is easy to apply and you can make a thin line or a thicker winged liner. 

4. Avon Glimmerstick in Tawny- I have been loving adding this onto my brows after I put eye shadow from my Project Pan. It has been lightening up my browns and I can make my brows more defined. 

 

5. Nail polish- Click to see more pictures: Ms Pedicure and Sally Hansen's in Commander in Chic 

I hope you enjoyed my Favorites! Check out the VIDEO to see how my 2015 Resolutions are going! Have a wonderful day! Let me know what your favorite eyeliner is down below.

January 2015 Birchbox Review

Today's post is a review of my January Birchbox! I posted an unboxing haul here and now it is time to review it.  

 

1. Key West Aloe's Gentle Aloe Cleanser- I used this a lot this month. I did like how cleansing and gentle this cleanser was. My skin was irritated for a lot of the month and this cleanser was perfect. I think this would be perfect for the summer time when my face has gotten some sun. In the winter my skin needs more of an exfoliating cleanser.   

 

2. Essential Elements' Body Lotion- I was sick for a lot this month and this lotion woke up my sinuses. This lotion has a wonderfully mint and rose-merry scent. This lotion was pretty moisturizing but I had to use a lot since my skin was so dry. 

 

3. Katharine's Everyday Eyeliner in Cessna Brown- This eyeliner is amazing! I love its staying power, the color is a deep dark brown. It almost looks black on my eyes, but still not as harsh on my fair skin. 

 

4. Ren's Glycol Lactic Radiance Renewal Mask- I used this mask a few times and I could see the difference in my skin. It did seem to brighten up my face, I didn't think it exfoliate it very well.

 

5. Sweet Science's Invisible Daily Tint- I was actually very disappointed in this product. I tried this a few times and it didn't seem to go on my face very well. I am going to try this again in the summer time and see when my face is a little less dry if it goes on better.

January 2015 Birchbox Unboxing

I received my January 2015 Birchbox over a week ago, but with my schedule this was the first time I could really sit down and look at the products I received. Birchbox is a monthly subscription that is a flat $10, I love it and have been getting it for years! This post will be showing you the products I got in my box. I will have a review post up, in a month, telling you how I like these products. 

1. Essential Elements Wake Up Rosemary Body Lotion- If you saw my Project Pan Post you will see that I am trying to use up a lotion, however I am doing really well and am excited to add this lotion in with that one! This lotion's packaging is adorable I don't know how effective it will for getting product out. I liked the smell of this lotion, it was very natural. 

2. Katherine Cosmetics Everyday Eyeliner in Brown- Recently, I have been trying to be more consistent with eyeliner. (I have a lot and I need to start getting some use out of them.) This eyeliner will be perfect because it won't be harsh and I can easily smudge it in if I mess up. I am excited to use this! 

3. Key West Aloe Gentles Aloe Facial Cleanser- This month has been a little stressful (in a great way!) My face has been showing some effects, this cleanser is suppose to cleans calm and re-balance which sounds perfect! 

4. REN Glycol Lactic Radiance Renewal Mask- I saw this and normally I am not a huge fan of masks, unless they are mud masks. I am interested to try this because it is suppose to exfoliate and brighten two things my face needs! So, I hope I am pleasantly surprised! 

5. Sweet Science Invisible Daily Tint SPF 35- I love products like this! They have a tint, and SPF  it is a perfect combination especially on days, that you just want the basics. 


I hope you enjoyed and are excited about the review post! Don't forget to watch the video for more of a first impressions! Have a wonderful day!
