February beauty

Phew! Finally an update.

Sorry I've been incognito, but life gets in the way. However, that has not stopped me from adding to my collection of beauty. :D

I finally decided to join Birchbox. After putting it off, I thought - what the hey! I wanted to see what this was all about. I must say my first box is a bit disappointing. I watch tutorials on the british version of Birchbox, Glossybox, and I was expecting something along the lines of those products. The british version tends to carry more stuff in bigger sizes. My first Birchbox only contained a few small samples, definitely not worth the $10 a month they charge. I'll stick it out for a while, but if it doesn't get better I will cancel my subscription.


Aside from my Birchbox, I also purchased the new Naked 2 pallette. :D I absolutely LOVE this pallette. It is much better than the first. I wear it everyday. :D



I also found a bronzer that I adore. It's called "Hotel Heiress" by Tarte. It's a beautiful peachy bronze color, perfect for my darker tan skin, and its catered to sensitive skin, which I have. According to the Tarte product line, it contains Amazonian clay, whatever that means, and is a mineral based powder, fragrance and talc free; perfect. I believe Tarte products are much like Urban Decay in that it tries to be as harmless to skin as possible, but I have to do more research on the line.


I hope everyone had a beautiful Valentines Day. It was my mother's birthday and I surprised her with a cake and flowers. :D

Happy February and enjoy the weeks to come! :D
