July's Birchbox!

Kate Spade's Twirl

 I'm pretty sure that Kate Spade's Twirl was one of the samples that everyone received in their June Birchbox. So how was it? Aside from its cute packaging and handy pump, it wasn't for me. I didn't find it to be an offensive smell but I didn't care for it either. I did wear it a couple times and kept it in my purse for about three weeks. The days that I wore it I did receive some comments about how good I smelt from a few people. I found Twirl to be a scent that I would associate with an woman a little older than me, it has a flirty but sophisticated scent. One that I don't care for, for summer.  I couldn't quite put my finger on what I was smelling and was quite surprised upon finding out that it supposed to smell like "pink watermelon" I would describe it as a lightly fruity yet musky scent.

 Here is how Kate Spade's website describes the scent.

• captivating day-to-night fragrance
• pink watermelon mingles with blackberry and red currant 
• the fragrance is finished with luminous musks and a touch of french macaron (straight from the patisserie, of course).    

   Priced at $80.00 for 3.4 oz and a whopping $65.00 for 1.7 oz this is definitely not something that I would consider buying for myself.

June Eco-Emi!

I know it's now July but I missed it's arrival because I was on vacation up in Oregon. I was super excited to see this on  my desk when I arrived home. I have been wanting to get into going green, and organic for a long while now but wasn't sure just where to start. I came across Eco-Emi on Youtube in my obsessive hunt for all things Birchbox. LOL. I am so glad that I found this. It has been so fun to sample these products and see what I like and what I don't before purchasing because we all know that green, earth friendly products tend to be on the pricier side. So if you are like me and you want to get into it but just don't know where to start this is for you.
Here is what Eco-Emi has to say about their service:

"For only $15.00 a month, we will mail you five to ten samples of natural, organic, green, eco-friendly products to your door wrapped in chic earth friendly material made from 100% recycled bottles. All of our packages are adorned with 100% organic or vintage ribbons or we will often use 100% bamboo yarns. Part of the fun is that the package will look a little different every month. You will have the luxury of trying out an array of green products in the comfort of your own home or over a cup of herbal tea with close friends.

What to expect in a box? Well, thats a surprise every month but we try to include an array of products everything from animal friendly makeup to organic brown rice, all natural perfumes to herbal teas and vegan chocolates. We want you to try a little bit of everything so that you will be able to shop completely green in all areas food, beauty, household and more. We strive to feature either organic, all natural, vegetarian or vegan prodcuts. Before you know it you will get to know the labels and companies behind the products and stepping foot into the organic isles or all natural stores will be a breeze."

Like Birchbox it comes with a card explaining the contents of that months box.  As well as coupons and pamphlets from the companies themselves.  This months box had:

Prize Winning's from Birchbox & Stila!!!! Wooohooo!

So last month I entered into a Giveaway that Birchbox was doing on their Facebook page with Stila. They picked ten winners to receive a personalized eyeshadow palette and over $150 in Stila products. I never win anything so this was a huge surprise. I'm still super excited. Until I got my winnings I had never tried Stila because I couldn't afford it. If you've watched my video on my elf haul than you know that I had never used eyeshadow primer I had been using concealer as a primer and I thought elf's primer was just the best thing ever. LOL Well, I was wrong. Stila's Primer Pot is amazing! It just takes the smallest amount on your finger to apply a ligh weight but sticky base for eyeshadow. I could not be more impressed either with the amount of pigment in each eyeshadow. I think its safe to say that I have been converted into a Stila fanatic and I'll be saving up for more.
Here is what I received:

• 4 pot palette
• Eye Shadow Pot in Kitten
• Eye Shadow Pot in Twig
• Eye Shadow Pot in Puppy
• Eye Shadow Pot in Barefoot Contessa
• Prime Pot Waterproof Eyeshadow Primer in Taffy
• Smudge Stick Waterproof Eyeliner in Stingray
• Glamoureyes Mascara Amplifying & Intensifying in Black 
• Double sided Eyeshadow Brush 
• All Over Blending Brush
