JAMIE DOBBS!!!!

CONGRATS!!! That is super awesome! I will be getting in contact with you shortly! I am super excited for you!!! :D 

Ok so now on to what my post is really about.

BIRCHBOX

OK so everyone I LOVE birchbox and every month I have it I love it more and more!

This months box made me so happy i decided to put in a huge order in the birchbox shop :D And I have no regrets of doing so!

But I will do a blog post on that when I get my stuff. So now on to my birchbox

So for 10 bucks a month I think you get some AMAZING products! Every month I am never disappointed I get to try so many new things and find the stuff I like and the stuff I don't. It is really helping me get the hang of makeup too.

So October 2014. I really liked my box! 

And I really like this color purple.....

Again I am going to apologize for my crappy pictures.... I am trying to find my camera.....

This months theme was obsession, which I think fit perfectly. Becasue honestly I have an obsession list. Maybe one day I will have to share it with you guys. But I think it is a super cute theme. 

I wish I could tell my work to hold my calls. But unfortunatly I work at a call center and we have back to back calls most days so this doesn't fly. But whatever. I still get to obsess when I get home. 

Anyways.

So I loved this cute little card. I love that I got to write on it, idk I love stuff like that. Yes I love One Direction. In fact they are on my obsession list. 

Ok so really let's get to what you really came here for, my review on my samples.

That's it, there is my box. My beautiful birchbox. I love it!

Sample 1: Balance Me Wonder Eye Cream; Full Size Retail $38

So not going to lie when I first saw I was reciving this product, I was like why me.... why did this product get chosen for me.... why would I even use this product. But then I read up on it. And let me tell you, I LOVE it! It does a great job on moisturizing under my eyes as well as it helps with my dark circles, that I ALWAYS have and so desperatly try to cover up. And this stuff helps, unfortunately it did not make my list of stuff I was ordering from birchbox but defiantly in the near future, because I love it! It is light feeling and again I love it!

Sample 2: Beauty Protector; Full Size Retail $21.95

I will never ever in my whole life say no to a leave in conditioner. EVER. I go through them like crack. (not that I am on crack... but still) Literally you can ask my husband, the first thing I said about this product was oh I like the feel of the bottle. And honestly, that is enough for me haha. I have used it and I really like it! It keeps my hair soft and silky, and you don't need all that much. Also I am obsessed with smelling things and it smells AWESOME! It reminds me of when I was little and my mom would do hair, it kinda is that smell. It takes me back.

Sample 3: Revealed 2 Eyeshadow Palette Sample in Ballerina; Fill Size Retail $34

These ones are the crappy pictures (the rest of them are too) but sorry... 

This was my absolute FAVORITE sample I got in my birch box! These colors are PERFECT for me. I have worn them everyday since I got them, and becasue I love it so much, I bought the big one! Not only the Revealed 2 but also just the Revealed. I have a problem.... But I LOVED it lots. And once this runs out where am I supposed to get more? I am excited to try all the new colors of eye shadow. I keep staring at the pictures of it just waiting till I can have it and try it out for myself. But seriously these four colors could have not been more me! If anything, just this made my birchbox worth it!

Sample 4: dr. brandt pores no more vacuum cleaner; Full Size Retail $45

So in all honesty I haven't tried this yet.... I am super excited to though. Anything that can help my skin out is a win in my book for sure! I like the smell of it, so that must mean it is awesome haha. 

So I look forward to trying out this product. 

Sample 5: ModelCo Party Proof Lipstick in Kitty Full Size Retail $24

So this was my sample choice. And I chose it because honestly my obsession with lipstick has skyrocketed and I can't get enough of it. This color I like. It is a pinky nude and honestly it is perfect for any occasion. 

I LOVE that birchbox does a sample choice, because then I know each month if I hate the rest of my box at least I am getting one thing I will enjoy. And this lipstick, boy do I enjoy it. It is soft to go on and complements my eyeshadows very well. I am glad this was my sample choice. 

All in all, like I did say I loved my birchbox this month. Honestly I wish I would have gotten the beauty blender. Because I have heard those things are AMAZING! But I ordered it in my birchbox order :) So I am excited to try it. 

I would honestly suggest birchbox to anyone and everyone. Eventhough the samples are not all makeup, you get a good supply of different stuff to try. 

I hope you enjoyed this post. Follow my blog, comment of my post. Do whatever. 

I am hoping to do another giveaway soon, and probably changing up the blog a bit. 

THANKS
