Birchbox August 2015 Unboxing

Hey guys!!!

Like I told you all last night today I will be showing you what I got in my Birchbox this month. Unfortunately I won't be using a few of these things because it isn't for me, but I will be giving it away to either friends or you guys. I had to redo the personal test on the website so hopefully I will get more products that suit me more.



  • IPKN Flash Cream Radiant Primer- This is a primer that is rich in fruit extracts, has SPF 15 and will give your skin a luminous finish. I am already oily soooo I don't need anymore luminosity on my skin. I am sure some of you guys know how I feel.
  • Balance Me Congested Skin Serum- Calming spot treatment that fights blemishes, refines pores, and balances skin without drying. I am using a new serum at the moment and so far I am liking it so I don't want to mess my skin care up even though it sounds so amazing to try. 
  • Air Repair Complexion Boosting Moisturizer- It is packed with antioxidants and humectants. This will hydrate and revitalizes dry or dull skin. I read this is good for when you travel so I will be keeping this for whenever I do.
  • R+Co Death Valley Dry Shampoo- This will sap excess oils, give hair volume and body, and add texture. I am always interested in trying new dry shampoos so we shall see how I like this one. Hope its good!
  • LAQA & Co Charm School Kit- It is a creamy crayon that gives you a rich and easy to apply color on lips and cheek. I honestly will not use this on my cheeks only my lips. I think it will be gross to use it on both in my opinion.
That is what I got in my Birchbox this month. Do you guys get this box? What did you receive and what was your favorite product in the box?? If not and you are interested in getting it go here. It is only $10 a month for 5 sample to deluxe sample sized products. This is one of my favorite boxes to receive.

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.

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 are BHA's??

 Hey guys!!! The other day I spoke about AHA's and the different types of AHA's and now it is BHA's.  BHA's(Beta Hydroxy Acids) can get deeper into the pores to remove dead skin cells and excess sebum. It is oil-soluble so it allows it to penetrate deep into the pores and gently breaks up blockages that clogs your pores. That will help with lessening your acne and less visible pores. If you have blackheads, on your nose especially, it can help getting rid of them without damaging your skin like the Biore pore strips do. Also prevents new ones from forming. It could also help with Keratosis Pilaris(KP) in body washes or even body lotions/butters. BHA's are good for all skin types, but especially oily, acne prone skin. Salicylic Acid Salicylic Acid is the most well known out of all of them. It helps reduce acne by exfoliating the skin and keeping the pores clear. It helps with mild acne, blackheads and whiteheads, can help prevent future breakouts.  Tropic Acid, Tret
