Birchbox: November 2012


Hello!
It's been a while. I don't really know why I haven't been blogging much. But I'm back for another month of Birchbox! For those of yous that don't know Birchbox is a monthly subscription. You get to try out lots of beauty and lifestyle samples, for $10.00 a month!

This month's box is about giving thanks. They loaded this box with 3 samples, a full-size mascara. (yay, mascara!) 


First up! Another perfume/cologne...I'm all for smelling good but I have way too many samples of these things! I don't mind receiving more fragrances cause I end up giving most of them away.

Atelier Cologne Rose Anonyme Cologne Absolue 
This cologne smells of spicy ginger and a touch of bergamot. It has more of a sophisticated smell. I guess I'll be smelling sexy this Thanksgiving!


Lulu Organics Lavender + Clary Sage Hair Powder
This dry shampoo is great for hair that needs lift. I usually use baby powder but I'm giving this a try cause I'm all for smelling good like lavender.


Miracle Skin Transformer Vanish Instant Imperfection Corrector
Use before makeup to prep and prime the skin to mask imperfections. Will be giving this one a try. I'm also all for diffusing my imperfections. ^_~


ModelCo Fibre Lashxtend Lengthening Mascara
I love fibre mascaras that lengthen my lashes. This mascara (which I used right away) is packed with tiny fibers, which extends my lashes. Has a more of a natural look. Is quit build-able too. Will do a review on this soon.


Lifestyle Extra

Chuao Chocolatier Potato Chip
Bite-size chocolate bar that has pieces of kettle cooked potato chips and a hint of sea salt. Taste pretty good! Chocolate and salt...Mmmm Can you tell I'm eating this now?...lol


Also recvied a Birchbox Holiday Gift Guide and a $15 off  code for CHROMATICgallerie.com.

This month has been a yay and nay for me. The most used item in this box is going to be the fibre mascara. I can tell I'm going to be loving that one. I can always use the little gift pouch (that came in this box) and load that with samples and give to a friend.

Confetti Nail Color in Happy Birthday!


If it's your Birthday today than Happy Birthday! My birthday isn't until December 16, which will be here before you know it! I had this nail polish for a few years now and to tell you the truth when my birthday does come around I usually do wear this polish on my nails. It's such a gorgeous color! They sale Confetti Nail Color at CVS. (value $1.99) I have a few of these polishes that I gave away to friends. But this color needs to stay with me, sorry guys...lol 

Confetti Nail Color in Happy Birthday is a gorgeous cool tone purple with lots of pink micro-glitter. The glitter isn't chunky so the polish drys to a smooth finish.


The formula is pretty thin, so I needed three coats of this polish to get that dark finish. I did see some lighter areas like around the base of my nails. So you might be able to get away with four coats. That is, if you apply medium coats. 

 Overall this is a beautiful color, and affordable. I love nail polishes that combo purple and pink together like this. Confetti has lots of shades to choose from too.
