April Favorites



Zoya Nail Polish in Arizona from the Zoya Beach Collection. This is a such a lovely shade of orange which is perfect for warmer weather manicure and pedicures. Retails for 8 on zoya.com.





Revlon Lip Butters.. I have been loving these lip butters for the past few months. From left to right the shades are Sugar Frosting, Cotton Candy, Creamsicle, Strawberry Shortcake, Gumdrop, Creme Brulee, and Sugar Plum. Although they appear dark in the picture, these butters go on like a tinted lip gloss. I apply them with a light hand and they all go on pretty sheer. These butters are really moisturizing. Sold at most drugstores, Target and Wal-mart.

March 2012 Birchbox



For the month of March Birchbox gave me the choice of choosing a TeenVogue Birchbox or receiving a regular Birchbox. I chose the TeenVogue box and I am so pleased that I did. Here are the products I received...

essie luxeffects nail polish in Set in Stones.. full size.. I really like this silver chunky glitter top coat. I was hoping for the pink version (in A Cut Above) but the silver one is quite nice too. This retails for 8.

tarte LipSurgence lip tint in Peaceful.. full size.. This is my favorite item in the box. It looks like a big crayon. This lip tint is a sheer nude (slightly orange) color. It is a very moisturizing lip balm/gloss that has scent of oranges. I will definitely be buying more of these lip glosses. Full size retails for 24.

Annick Goutal Petite Cherie perfume sample.. This is a blend of fresh, fruity notes and musk. Not my cup of tea but I passed the sample along to my mom who liked the scent. Full size bottle is 85.

Peter Thomas Roth Max Anti- Shine Mattifying Gel...25oz sample tube. I used this under my makeup and felt that it worked as a makeup primer plus mattifier. Great product that I would recommend. Full size retails for 35.

twistband hair tie.. These hairties are cute but my hair is too short to put up in a ponytail. Retails for $18 (for a 12 pack of bands).

Lifestyle Extra.. Modcloth discount card. I had never heard of this site and I went to check it out after I saw the discount card. I love the home and office stuff they had for sale on the website. This site sells a lot of the same fun items you would find at Urban Outfitters.

This was my best Birchbox to date (been a member since Jan). Can't wait to see what is in store for next month's box.
