Hi everyone!
Welcome to my first post at Blushing Sooner!
A little about me and what I hope this blog will become:
My name is Jenna and I'm fastly approaching 26 and I live in Oklahoma (hence the Sooner). I've loved makeup for many years now but have recently kind of become obsessed with it. In this blog I'm mainly just going to show you different products that I buy and give reviews on them. I'm going to aim to atleast post twice a month but hopefully more often!
So the first thing I'm going to discuss is Birchbox! For those of you that aren't familiar with Birchbox it is a monthly subscription for $10/month and each month you get a cute little box in the mail that includes 4-5 deluxe samples and sometimes even full sized products! You can read more about it at
http://www.birchbox.com/. I've been subscriped to it for 2 months now. December was just ok in my opinion but I'm pretty happy with my January box!
In my box I recieved:
1) Stila Smudge Stick (full-sized!) in Purple Tang
2) Jouer Body Butter
3) Borghese Moisture Applifier
4) Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy
5) Larabar in Peanut Butter Cookie
I was really happy with this box. The Stila Smudge Stick alone, which was a full-sized product, retails for $20. I only paid $10 for this box and got that plus some other awesome samples!
I used the Stila eyeliner this morning and absolutely adored it! I'd never tried this before but I think it may be my go to eyeliner from now on just because it went on so easy and the color is so vivid! LOVE IT!!
The Jouer Body butter smells great but it is a very tiny sample in my opinion. If you were to use this once over your entire body it would probably only last for one use. So I have it sitting on my desk at work to just use here and there on my hands and such as needed. I like it but I don't see myself purchasing this product.
I used the Borghese moisture amplifier for the first time this morning and it feels AMAZING on! The full sized product of this tho runs at I believe $67. Which is a little high in my opinion, but I'm going to continue to use this until the sample runs out. If my skin is noticeably different after using it I may find a way to come up with the cash for it. A little bit goes a long way so I imagine the full-sized product would last for a while.
Viva La Juicy is definitely a pretty awesome scent! However I have TONS of perfume already so I doubt I'll dish out the money for this product either.
Each month in your Birchbox they also give you a "lifestyle extra". This month I recieved the Larabar. Its essentially an all natural granola bar thing. It was good and a nice little snack but I wasn't a HUGE fan of them and probably won't buy them in the future. It was fun to try tho!
Well this is my review for my January Birchbox for 2012! Like what you see? You can go to this link to sign up:
