The December Birchbox wasn’t wonderful. Things didn’t seem very tailored to me and I received too many lotion-type problems. Some months are better than others, so it’s no big deal. Birchbox is a monthly subscription service for upscale beauty products. For $10, you get a box …
My sister pinned this and I had my doubts that it would work…but it really works! I used less than a half of a cotton ball and less than a half cap of remover to remove a dark burgundy polish. I usually would tear a …
The November Birchbox was my favorite Birchbox so far. Everything is useful and some of the stuff is downright awesome! A 3, 6, or 12 month Birchbox gift subscription would be a great gift for a friend or sister who loves beauty and trying new …

Ipsy Glam Bag (formally MyGlam) is a beauty subscription program in which you receive 4-5 full-size or deluxe beauty products in a little cosmetic bag for $10 per month. When you sign up, you take a quiz so they can customize your Glam bag, but …

The August Birchbox theme was Beauty School, which I didn’t really get except there was a little booklet with beauty tips. I’m still pretty happy with this service and feel like it’s worth the $10, though I’ll probably take a break soon because I need …
I bought this nail polish at Earth Fare when it was on sale. It’s DBP, Formaldehyde, and Toluene Free. I thought it had some weird name that I couldn’t pronounce and then weeks later I noticed that’s it’s just Spa Ritual, but the words are …
