Birchbox January 2015 Unboxing

Hey guys!!!

I received my Birchbox last week and not that excited with the products I received, but I am glad I got deluxe sample sized products for the most part. They have been improving on the products they have been sending I almost cancelled before, but now I won't be anytime soon.




  • Whish Three Whishes Body Butter- I got the lavender scent and it says it is a formula that firms, softens, and soothes the skin. I am excited to try this out! Who doesn't need a good body butter right??
  • Manna Kadar Lip Locked- This is a stain lip product just like the Sephora Cream Lip Stain that I love so much. I might use a brush the first time I use it just in case I don't like it and I can give it to someone else. 
  • Paula's Choice RESIST Moisture Renewal Oil Booster- This is a serum that is made with 9 plant oils and it is perfect for very dry skin. I probably won't use this just because I already have a serum that I love and I don't have very dry skin. I will be giving this to someone who really needs it.
  • Karma Organic Spa Soybean Oil and Tea Tree Oil Nail Polish Remover- This is made of soybean oil and tea tree oil and it is a nontoxic formula that will strengthen nails and cuticles. I am excited to try something different to remove my nail polish. Hopefully it works out!
  • Curly Hair Solutions Curl Keeper Gel- This is a water based formula that fends on frizz and leaves curls sleek and shiny. It is supposed to be never crunchy, but my mom already tried this out and she doesn't like it. She said her hair felt crunchy so sadly this wasn't a hit product.
That is what I got in my birchbox. If you are interested in getting this subscription service it is only $10 a month for 5 samples to deluxe sample sized products. They been stepping up their game lately so if you want to get it go here.


What did you guys receive in your birchbox this month?? Like I said before this wasn't as exciting as my two last boxes, but oh well not every month will be great months you know??

Rose and Ben Beauty Brushes

 Hey guys!! I haven't done a beauty post in a while and I was in the mood to do one because I am very excited to talk about these! I started follow Rose on IG roseandben  thanks to my friend and I have been loving her content. You can see the passion she has for makeup. I love that she posts on IG stories almost everyday doing a tutorial or talking about her fav products.  I have actually purchased and few of her recommendations and 99% of the products I have bought have become staples in my collection.  When she announced she was coming out with a brand  Rose and Ben Beauty  I just knew it would be brushes because she would always be using prototypes in her tutorials. I trusted her judgment in products soooo I bought most of the collection.  Aren't these brushes beautiful?? When I first got the brushes I felt the bristles and they were so soft. The quality of the bristles and even the handles feels so luxurious. I love the color of the handles too. I only started following her

What Are AHA's??

 Hey guys!!! AHA's(Alpha Hydroxy Acids) is water-soluble, exfoliates dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, reveals healthy looking skin, and it is suitable for all skin types. It helps stimulate collagen, hydrates the skin, brightens the skin, helps lessen skin texture, helps with acne scars, signs of sun damage, and dark spots. There are different types of AHA's out there.  Glycolic Acid Glycolic acid is the most well known and is used in skin care and is also used by a professional in a chemical peel.  It is either used alone in a skincare product or combined with another AHA ingredients at concentrations of 5% and up. It helps to enhance skin's firmness and resilience while softening signs of sun damage.  The size of this acid allows it to penetrate the uppermost layers of the skin to reveal better looking skin. Also it hydrates the skin, and basically helps the skin retain the natural moisture. Glycolic acid can be derived from sugar cane, but they only use the

What is the difference between Chemical & Physical Exfoliants??

 Hey guys!! What is exfoliation for? Your skin regenerates every 28 days or so and sun exposure and aging slows that process down. That is where exfoliation is key. It removes dead skin cells, brighten your skin complexion, and fades acne scars.  Getting rid of your dead skin cells is very important because it can help prevent bacteria, dirt, and sweat from getting stuck underneath the skin's surface. It can also help prevent and treat acne and inflamed pores.  What type of exfoliations are there? There are two types of exfoliations. Physical and Chemical. Physical Exfoliation Physical exfoliation is my least favorite and I do not recommend. Here is why. Physical exfoliant products uses micro-sized grains, beads, and particles to remove dead skin cells. Basically anything that scrubs at your skin like tiny granules. It is made of coffee grounds, walnut shell powder, sugar, rice, and salt. Other examples of physical exfoliation are a cleansing brush, a konjac sponge, a cloth, and a
