Lord and Berry, Milani, Macadamia

Hello!

A few weeks ago I wrote about some Milani eyeshadow that I won!  I never wrote about how much I like it!

Today I'm wearing that with my new Lord & Berry sparkly black eyeliner that I got in my Birchbox this month!  I really like both!



I'm used to using cream eyeshadow, so using a gel powder eyeshadow was a little different.  It works well if you layer it on to get the intensity you want.  I've been using these Avon eyeshadow applicators that my mom got for me!

I really like the Lord & Berry Paillettes Eye Pencil!  It's easy to apply and I love that it's glittery!  I don't wear eyeliner that often, but I think this is fun because it's not just plain dark black.  Love it!

I used my Macadamia Professional Flawless Cleansing Conditioner this morning, too!  This is the second time I've used it.  I was so excited to see this in my Birchbox!  When I've tried cleansing conditioner before, I didn't love it.  I really wanted to try this brand because I loved their Healing Oil Spray I got in last month's Birchbox (I wrote about it here) and thought I might have better luck with their brand.

I love it!  It smells good, I only need one or two pumps to get it through my hair, it makes my hair feel so soft, and a lot less of my hair comes out in the shower!  After my hair dries, it's shiny and less frizzy.  I think I will probably use it every other time I wash my hair!  The sample is huge so I'll get a lot of uses out of it!  Today I used the Cleansing Conditioner and my Leave-In Condish by Miss Jessie's, which I use every time I wash my hair!  I got it in my very first Birchbox and have been using it every since.

Thanks for reading!

September Birchbox Review #1

Hello!

As I've mentioned before, I love and am obsessed with Birchbox!  My September box was amazing (as usual) and I really like everything I've tried so far!

Here are reviews for two of the products!

First I'll talk about the sample that I got to choose for this month's box.  For the past few months, Birchbox has had the option to choose one of your samples, which is fun!  I chose the Macadamia Professional Healing Oil Spray.



I love it!  It smells so good and I love that it's a spray.  I've tried other kinds of hair oil and when it's not a spray, it's harder to evenly distribute it in my hair.  Plus I don't like having oil on my hands!  I spray it on the middle/ends of my hair and it makes it shiny and less frizzy.  It's a great sized sample, too!

Sometimes, you'll get an extra sample in addition to the normal 4-5 samples called a Birchbox Find.  This month, I got a ChapStick Dual-Ended Hydration Lock Moisturize and Renew.




I love it!  Both sides smell really good and make my lips feel...well, moisturized and renewed!  :)  I am so used to wearing C.O. Bigelow's Rose Salve (all the time, always, forever) and it's fun to use something with a totally different texture sometimes!  I will definitely use this a ton!

I did a ton of work in my Etsy shop today!  That was fun.  I've realized that for both Etsy and Blogger, it's easiest to put up new listings and blog posts using a mixture of the apps on my phone and websites on my computer.  Uploading pictures is much easier on the apps but writing the descriptions/posts is much easier to type on a regular keyboard, of course!  So that's helpful!  Alex and I went to a nice yoga class tonight.  Time for bed now!

Thanks for reading!  

P.S. I almost always type "Kind Regards," at the end because that's how I signed my catering emails at the Arizona Inn!  Silly :)
