I’ve recently become rather addicted to a few new beauty products that became fast favorites. The Bare Minerals READY shadows are seriously killer and last all day and night and I’m newly addicted to Estee Lauder lipstick.

Have any new beauty favorites? Do share below- I’m always looking for new ones to try :)

HAPPY FRIDAY!

birchbox

I’m a self-confessed beauty junkie. I love trying new eyeliners, mascaras, face washes, lip colors, nail polishes, you name it….really, it’s no secret. Which is why I think the idea of Birchbox is so genius. Yes, I know I’m a tad late to the game in trying this great idea, but when they offered to send me a curated box, I figured it was high time I gave it a go. (I was quite sure I’d like it though after Capitol Hill Style declared her love- that girl has the opinions you can trust).

So, if you’re unfamiliar, each month, Birchbox puts together  four to five handpicked deluxe beauty samples and delivers them to you for just $10. It’s an easy way to try out brands you may be unfamilar with, products that come with a higher price tag than you’re ok risking an impulse buy on at Sephora (whoops…guilty of doing that one too many times…) or just a little something you were unsure you’d love until you tried it.  Plus, with free shipping and brands like Smashbox, Kiehl’s, Jouer, Stila, Benefit, NARS and Oscar Blandi all on board, how can you not help but get excited about this monthly little treat?

Have you tried Birchbox? Thoughts?

p.s. you can also gift Birchbox to someone…I absolutely LOVE this idea for the upcoming holidays.

new beauty favorites

By on August 4, 2011 in Beauty, Makeup, Skin care

  1. Benefit Cosmetics’ They’re Real mascara, $22*
  2. Revlon Moon Drops lipstick in ‘Orange Flip’, $8
  3. Essie ‘Tangerine’ polish, $8
  4. Pattern Sage Body Wash, $20*
  5. Makeup Forever Aqua Eyes eyeliner, $18

If you know me well (or read this blog often), you know I’m a big beauty product junkie. I love adding new items into my rotation, finding new favorites and testing out products. The top of my dressar looks like it could be on the set of a photo shoot for how much I have piled up and laying around. But while I have certain go-tos, I certainly love finding new favorites like those seen here. This Benefit mascara is A-mazing (so good in fact that it’s sold out on Benefit’s website!) and this Essie polish has since earned its spot amongst my other favorites.

p.s. in case you missed it, check out my favorite ways to beat the heat and still look be-auti-ful.
