Birchbox: The Lip Sync Kit Review

purchased by me | affiliate links

Hello, friends! I've got a fun little unboxing and review for you today. You might remember me talking about this Lip Sync Kit two weeks ago in my Mail Time post. I purchased this kit from Birchbox, and it basically comes with everything you need for a capsule lip product wardrobe. I'm always up for new lipstick (I mean, have you looked through my lipstick collection lately?) so I thought it looked like fun. I can't wait to tell you guys my thoughts!

Birchbox? What's that?

Birchbox is a monthly beauty and lifestyle subscription service. It sends 4-5 deluxe samples that are curated to your beauty profile. It is $10 a month, and has a wonderful rewards program, in which you can earn points for reviewing products and making purchases in the Birchbox Shop. You can then redeem those points for full-sized products! It's probably the best rewards program out there, in my opinion, which was one of the big draws in me signing up. They're always adding new products to the shop. Last month they sampled products from Amika, Juice Beauty, Shiseido, as well as pages of others! Some products are even exclusive to Birchbox, like Cynthia Rowley's new makeup line and the cult-favorite Beauty Protector brand.

Birchbox: April 2016 Review

purchased by me | affiliate links

Hello, friends! I'm so excited to dig into my monthly Birchbox with you today! Mostly because of the adorable packaging. Can we just take this all in for a minute? I wish everything in my life looked like this. Well not everything, but my house could certainly use a healthy dose of beautifully painted flowers, that's for sure.

Birchbox: March 2016 Review

purchased by me | affiliate links

Hi, friends! It's Birchbox time again. My box came relatively early this month (it arrived by the 9th, and typically they ship by the 10th) so I've had some time to mess around with the products inside.

Birchbox: February 2016 Review

Hi, friends! It's time for another issue of "What's in my Birchbox?" where I tell you...what's in my Birchbox! I don't know what it is about subscription unboxing posts that I like so much. Maybe I'm just nosy and like snooping in other people's stuff. Anyway, without further ado, here's what I received in my Birchbox this month!

Birchbox: January 2016 Review

Hello, friends! It was weird writing "January 2016" in the header this morning. I don't know about you, but it always takes me a couple of months to get used to it. I'll probably continue writing 2015 and correcting it until at least March!

Anyway, today I wanted to unpack my Birchbox for you guys. I'm actually super impressed this month, and this might have been one of my favorite boxes to date (and I've been subscribed for about two and a half years now). But let's just get to the review already so I can tell you more about it. 

Birchbox: December 2015 Review

Hi, friends! Today I wanted to share with you my December Birchbox. This month I opted in for the guest curated box (surprise, surprise), so I already knew the products I would be getting. But I didn't know if I would like that, so the surprise factor is still there. But enough about that, let's jump into everything.

Treats Subscription Box: Review

Hi, friends! Today I have something a little different for you today: a food subscription box! I've subscribed to monthly food services before, but I chose not to share them on this blog since they weren't beauty related. But I've been wanting to broaden my horizons for awhile now, so I figured that this would be a good start. And besides--a beauty buff's gotta eat! 

Treats? What's that?

Treats is a monthly food subscription service for snacks around the world. They give out finger foods like chips, cookies, candy from a different country every month.

Birchbox: October 2015 Review

Hey, friends! It's been awhile. Since we last spoke, I started a new job and got a weird stomach bug. But enough about my life. I've missed you guys! Today I'll be squeezing in a review of my Birchbox this month just before October is up!

Ipsy Glam Bag: September 2015 Review

Hi, friends! Can you believe today is the first day of fall? And tonight is the autumnal equinox, so we're approaching shorter and shorter days. How crazy is that? Where has the time gone??

Today I want to talk to you all about my September Ipsy bag. This one was quite a doozy, and I don't mean in a good way. Stay tuned to find out why...

Ipsy? What's that?

Ipsy is a monthly beauty subscription service that sends you five products with a themed makeup bag for $10/month. They offer a variety of products that change monthly, and determine which ones you receive based on the results of your beauty profile quiz.

This month they sampled products from Tarte, Ole Henrikson, Essie, and plenty of others! If you're interested in subscribing, I would love it if you used my Ipsy referral link! Thank you!

Birchbox: September 2015 Review

Hey, friends! Today I want to talk to you about my Birchbox this month. I got it surprisingly early (the 9th, before I could even view my box on the website), so this review will be going up a week earlier than usual.

A quick word about the photos in today's post -- I had gotten my eyes dilated at the eye doctor's right before I took these, so I basically took these blind (even with sunglasses). I guess I could have waited, but I wanted to hurry up and play the products! Just a fun fact. (The beauty blogger struggle is real).

Luxe Pineapple Box of Joy: Rock Pop & Wow GlossaryBox Review

Hi, friends! Today I have a new subscription box to share with you today. They're relatively new, but they've been getting some recognition on beauty blogs recently. You might have heard of them. Luxe Pineapple, anyone? I'm excited to share my first box with you! Let's unpack it together, shall we?

LuxePineapple? What's that?

LuxePineapple is a relatively new company, just started in 2013, that has reinvented the subscription box. They refer to their Box of Joy as an "unsubscription box." If you're familiar with MemeBox, they offer a similar service in that, rather than paying a monthly fee, you can purchase pre-curated boxes to be delivered to you. The boxes are usually a great discount, compared to the retail value of all the products put together. Recently, they've had boxes with themes like "Lip Luxuries," "Beach Babe," and "Small Luxuries." Many of the products featured in these boxes can also be bought individually in their Pineapple Shop, but the discount for the products isn't as steep as it is in the boxes.

They release new boxes around three times a month, their most recent one being their Rock Pop & Wow GlossaryBox, which is the one I will be reviewing for you today. I'm super excited that Leslie Chapman of Pop Goes The City is the curator for this box! It includes on-trend beauty picks for the upcoming season that all go together well. Right now it's on sale for $15 on Luxe Pineapple's website.

If you decide to purchase anything, I would really appreciate it if you used my referral link! You'll get money off your order if you use it, so everybody wins!

Ipsy Glam Bag: July 2015 Review

Hello, friends! I know your eyes are probably bugging out of your head at the sight of an Ipsy review on this blog. I mentioned in my July Mail Time! that I had resubscribed, and I wasn't lying. When a pink envelope came in the mail, even my brother was like, "Wow, I haven't seen one of these in awhile." So let's take a look inside and see what we've got here!

Review: Wet Shave Club

Hi, friends! I have a new subscription box review for you today. You might have heard of them. Does Wet Shave Club ring a bell? They've recently come out with a woman's box, so they sent one over for me to test out. A girl's gotta shave, especially in the summer, so I figured why not?
