September/October Beauty Buys

Here all all my beauty buys for September and October!

I got more Biore Nose Strips and I decided to try out this Freeman Anti-Stress Mask. Reviews to come :]

I got more masks from Ichiban Kan and saw a coil hair removal item and decided that I'll try it out. I'm kind of scared though! Haha! 

The next two items are actually freebies because I won the Smashbox primer on their FB. And the Jo Malone fragrance was a giveaway when you send a digital peony on their website.

The freebie is half the size of mine! Mine's actually not the full size version either. I purchased it at the Sephora counter area.

The packaging was so lovely. It was quite wasteful to send that tiny bottle in a big box and to insert so much tissue, but it did seem very luxurious.

Origins was having a special where every purchase came with a box of deluxe samples. I bought the tinted moisturizer though.

I was actually just looking for eye cream when I bought this 3-step set. I saw that the eye cream by itself (same amount oz) was half the price of this set and I was already thinking of getting a night moisturizer as well which would have been the price of the set, so I decided to get it.

Please let me know if you'd like a review on any of these items in the comments below :]

August Birchbox

Here's my August Birchbox and here's the list of contents:

I love the packaging on that shampoo, I'm pretty excited to try it. I usually brush my hair before showering to prevent having to deal with a ton of tangles. Sometimes, I'm in a rush and don't pre-brush, so I plan to try this detangling shampoo on one of those days. Moisturizer is always great, so I'm excited for that. I've never thought that I'd need fresh feet wipes, I think I'll just bring this along next time I go camping or to the beach. I've never received make-up before, so that was interesting. I did put in the beginning questionnaire that I'd prefer skincare products over makeup. I'm not a big eye shadow wear-er so I may give this to a friend. I'm so glad I got this lipstick because I've been wanting a new one!

Then, it came with this double sided fold out. It has plenty of ideas and also a coupon for Ann Taylor.

This is my last box of my 3-month subscription and I don't feel the need to purchase another one. It was a lovely gift from my boyfriend and I was always excited to see something come in the mail. I may purchase another subscription service in the future if I have more disposable income, but until then goodbye Birchbox.

July Birchbox

Now here's my July Birchbox! Even though now it's August. It didn't have a pink sleeve with an exclamation point this time, I suppose it's for first box subscriptions. Anyways, here's the list of contents:

This set was pretty exciting as I love most of it! I've been wanting to try out a new highlighter other than my E.L.F one. I don't imagine me using the bobby pins though as I don't really have much green in my closet, but they're such a pretty design! I've never tried a leave-in conditioner before, so this seems like a great way to try it out. I'm not sure how I'll like it though as I actually have oily hair, so more conditioner doesn't sound great. I like the sound UV protection though! The body cream is really the only thing I'm pretty sure won't get used. I'm pretty happy with my Aveeno, but these sound good for days when I run out. Face Cream was very much needed for me as well.

This month contained Suits picks which were the bobby pins and the Face cream. It also included a scratch card for a free deluxe mini with any full size product purchase or $25 plus purchase.

Next month will be my last box as I don't plan to buy another subscription anytime soon, I think I will try another provider if I do.

Please let me know if you're interested in reviews :)

June Birchbox - Late I know >_<

Hi all, sorry I forgot to post on Tuesday. I spent the day at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. They have great coasters!

Anyways, my boyfriend got me a 3-month Birchbox subscription for my birthday. *Thank you sweetheart!* It's quite late, but this is what I got in my June Birchbox.

Everything was packaged so nicely. I still have to think about what I'm going to do with the box. Believe it or not though, my favorite item wasn't a beauty product, but this group of postcards they included. That's because I actually collect postcards. I try to get one from every place I've been. I haven't been to these places from the Birchbox, but I love the designs and they'd be cute on my wall.

I don't see myself using the shaving cream as I got an epilator, but I will see. Face wipes are always useful, so I'm glad this was included. I personally am not a fan of Juicy couture's perfumes. I've smelled quite a bitt at stores, so I'm not even going to try this one. I may give it away to someone who likes their scents. I don't know that I will be keeping the nail polish as I have a similar shade and I haven't been able to wear nail polish anyways. I am excited about the sunblock though as I am trying to wear it everyday.

I got these welcome messages since it was my first Birchbox ever. Also, I think that's why there's a pink exclamation point slip. I suppose when you make the order as a gift, you can choose to include a message which they only add onto the receipt paper. Not very cute on Birchbox's part, but cute on the gifter's part. Just letting you know if you plan on gifting a subscription don't count on them including a cute little card. Although I'm not so excited about most of the individual products this month, I still love the gift. It's realy exciting to recieve a package in the mail too! Overall, it is a lovely gift to anybody interested in trying out new beauty products. 

*And if you're ever reading this: Thank you Donnie!*
