Birchbox: September

I got my very first Birchbox this month! I was so excited to sign up for a monthly beauty box! I worked in a salon for 3 years while in college and used to get samples all the time, but now that I have a real job I dont get those perks anymore. So here is the next best thing. They send you 4 sample sized luxury items and a 5th suprise item. I have tried 4/5 items (the spray bottle spilled all over the box, Birchbox is sending me a new box of goodies in replacement)

The spray bottle is a sea salt spray for a fresh beach look and the Ruffian nail polish is Fox Hunt, such a bright and vibrant color for fall! It went on great with only one coat!

 

S.M.A.R.T Polisher was a weird item. My face felt tight afterwards and the beading of the gel was also weird. But I must say, my face has been much smoother this week!! And I LOVE this hand cream. With the cooler months coming, my hands get extra dry and crack and so far, I think this will keep them from doing so :)

 

Here is the extra item: cream blush! Im not a huge blush user, but I did put some on  after I got home from worj to play around and was pleasantly surprised with the look and smoothness and will use again in the future!

I got all of these items for $10. It was so work it just for the smart polish and the hand cream alone!! I cannot wait to get my replacement box and to see what October has in store!!

October

This month is such an exciting month. My Birthday happens to fall at the end of the month and so I like to think I get the whole month to celebrate; heres to the later half of my twenties! My nephew turns two, my sister-in-law and father-in-law both have a birthday. It is Halloween. Cooler weather all around. Windows open and leaves begin to fall. Oh this happy month. I cannot wait to pick out my pumpkin and carve it. And hopefully by November, I will be able to wear a light sweater.

A better look in to each room (Except Emmas, the pic didnt turn out, but I assure you, it looks like a room lol)
