I’ve always wanted to be one of those women who had an arsenal of really incredible beauty products. The best products for my skin, hair, nails. I wanted to have a really great response when someone asks “What product can you not live without?” But, I don’t. I use the stuff I’ve used forever… not because it’s the best, but because it’s what I’ve always used. I have an irrational fear of trying something new. That feeling that I’m going to spend too much money on something that doesn’t live up to it’s expectations. Or that I’m going to have a bad reaction. Or that I simply won’t like it. And then I read about Birchbox… and it became my new obsession!
Basically, you pay $10 a month and they send you an adorable little box of great new products! Something about those little samples make me so happy! It’s such a wonderful way to try new things and either fall in love, or realize that the moisturizer I’ve been using for my entire life really is pretty great. And because I travel so much, I love that they’re perfect little travel sizes!
This month felt a little light… not as many products as there have been in the past, but some really delicious things!
BVLGARI Omnia Crystalline Eau de Toilette Spray – It smells incredible! Rich and perfect for an evening that involves ball gowns and diamonds!
fresh Sugar Rose Tinted LIp Treatment SPF15 – now this I might not be able to live without! It’s smooth, smells delicious, just the hint of pink and makes my lips feel super moisturized. Pretty sure this will be a new addition to my purse!
Kiehl’s Abyssine Cream + – I have friends that swear by Kiehl’s! And I really like this moisturizer! It’s light and creamy. But, it doesn’t have sun protection, so I only use it at night.
Miracle Skin Transformer Body SPF 20 in Glow – um, it’s tinted treatment that is supposed to erase blemishes and scars on arms, legs and decollete. It’s very, glittery. I don’t know that I would actually use this… maybe for a sexy night out?

It’s interesting to see how different our Birchboxes were! The only thing that we got the same was the Miracle Skin Transformer stuff. I’ve actually been using every day when I don’t want to wear foundation. The glittery-ness wears off pretty quickly and it does really make your skin kinda glow as if you’ve just spent a couple of hours in the sun. I kinda like it! I’m jealous about the Kiehl’s and the Sugar Rose stuff!
