Birchbox February 2016 Unboxing

Hey guys!!!

Now to show you guys what I got in my Birchbox this month. Let's get right into it!




  • SkinClinical Extreme Healing Repair Concentrate- This is a paraben-free cream that treats severely dry, sensitive, itchy, wounded or chapped skin. My hands are always so dry because I wash my hands 10,000 times a day so this will be put to good use. It almost reminds me of my holy grail First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream so we shall see.
  • Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm- This is a moisturizing lip balm with a hint of color. I will try this once and I will see if my lips agree to this. I have tried so many and 98% of the time doesn't work and dries my lips out bad.
  • Marcelle NewAge 8 in 1 Power Serum- This lightweight anti-aging gel starts to work in one week. It provides 8 transformative benefits in one tube. As amazing as this sounds I will not be using this because I am on a strict skin care regimen with my dermatologist. I will be removing skin care from my list of things I wish to receive.
  • PARLOR by Jeff Chastain Detangling Leave-In Conditioner- Sweet almond extract detangles, delivers softness and sleekness, and adds volume. This came at a perfect time because I was just wondering what detangler to get because my hair has been really tangly recently. We shall see how this works.
  • Cargo Swimmables Shadow Stick- This is a smudgeproof and waterproof formula that glides on quickly without creasing. I am excited to try this out because I am loving the blush I got in a previous box and now I get to try another Cargo product!
That is what I go this month! What did you guys get this month?? Any new favorite products?? If you don't receive this are you interested? It is $10 a month for 5 deluxe sample sized or sometimes full sized products. If you want to find out more information go here.

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
