BirchBox Review! (March 2013)

This month's review for the March BirchBox is up now! Go check it out!

(I haven't filmed a review in a while because I've had tonsillitis. It's nice to be back to filming!)

For those of you interested in a BirchBox of your own, you can visit www.birchbox.com. Boxes are $10 a month and each box includes around five deluxe beauty samples. I think it's a great way to try out more expensive beauty items before committing to a larger purchase, so that you can be sure you really love a product! 

The items included in this month's BirchBox: 

-Benefit Cosmetics Stay Don't Stray (FS $26)

-Caldrea Body Lotion (Tea Olive Lime, Aloe Water Apricot, Coconut Fig) (FS: $22)

-Evologie Intensive Blemish Serum (FS: $35)

-Wish Shave Crave Shaving Cream in Blueberry (FS : $20)

-Madewell for Birchbox Emery Board ($5)

Crap Products I Wouldn't Repurchase! And better alternatives!!

Every once in a while I find a product that is just so horrid, I feel the need to warn others to stay far, far away! I typically read blog reviews and watch video reviews before I purchase a lot of things, so that I can avoid a potentially bad product. Every once in a while though, I will try out something and it just doesn't work out for me. In the video below, I show a few "crap products" that should be avoided, and give you better suggestions on nicer alternatives to them! I hope you find it helpful! 

FragranceNet Haul: Perfume & HairCare: Innocent, Vince Camuto for Women,...

If you love perfume and amazing hair care products as much as I do, be sure to check out my most recent haul/review on some products I picked up from FragranceNet! 

Picture of the goodies I got on sale!

During their recent sales (BlackFriday/CyberMonday), I ordered two perfumes and two hair care products. They had the absolute best prices out of every single website I looked at. I was also able to use coupon/promo codes in addition to the sales, AND got free shipping, so needless to say, I was very happy with the value they offer on their products. I also appreciated that they have a secure website, which made me more comfortable ordering through them. Shipping was FAST too! I just had the free standard shipping, and my package arrived within three days. They also included quite a few free samples, so I thought that was a nice touch as well. Overall, I'd absolutely recommend ordering through FragranceNet for perfume/haircare items! I will definitely reorder through them again. If you sign up for their email list, they are also terrific about sending out promo codes that you can use towards a discount on your order.

Items mentioned in the video:

-Marrakesh by marrakesh x original leave-in treatment & detangler with hemp & argan oils 

-Vince Camuto (for Women) by Vince Camuto eau de parfum spray

Allure Fall Beauty Box!!!! (2012)

Check out my review on the Allure Fall Beauty Box! This season's box offered incredible value for your money! For around $50 ($39.99 + $10.00 s&h) you receive over $300 worth of products! I honestly liked this one better than the Summer one, and that is saying a LOT! These boxes are available seasonally. The Winter box should go on sale around November; I will post more information when it becomes available for those of you who are interested! All information on the items mentioned in this box is available in the  description bar below the video. I've included regular retail prices of each item for a reference point of the value you get for your money!
