Beauty Box 5 March 2012

This is the 2nd box and I have to say I was pleased!
Just the cute box looking at you in your mail box makes me smile. It is something about the "Tiffany-like" color that makes it feel all that much more special. Nice job in the color choice. I am loving the samples of these unknown beauty products. Well at least unknown to me. This is opening my eyes to a whole new world.

You can join BB5 for $12/month HERE. This is a referral link and would really welcome and appreciate if you join, to join via the link provided. Thank you if you do.

Included in the box were:

pur-lisse

pur-delicate gentle soy milk cleanser and makeup remover.

*1.7 fl oz given
*5.6 fl oz $36

Lavera Mango Milk Care Treatment for hair.

*1 sachet given $2
*5 sachet $12

Lavera Eyeliner in No.2 (brown) consistency very smooth and the color is a perfect dark brown that comes off with the perfect amount of color especially for your lower lash line.
*$10.80

Freeman Facial Anti-Stress Mask
*$1.38 @ walmart

Becca Eye Tint in Baroque - this is a cream like shadow and is water resistant. The color is a mauve like shade and has minimal fine shimmer. The swatch that I did lasted evening on my hand lasted til after my shower so it is very water resistant. With soap it came off without a problem. So no need to worry that this will come off if your swimming.
*7ml full size $18

Treatment cleansing foam is a hydrating & purifying facial cleanser & has botanical extracts. It can also be used as a great shaving foam.

Downy Wrinkle Releaser I love this stuff!! When you have a few wrinkles left in your clothing after removing from the dryer, just spray and smooth. It works wonders.

BirchBox march Teen Vogue

This was a completely AMAZING BirchBox! I was so pleased with everything in the box. Even the twist band!

March BirchBox Teen Vogue Edition

This was my favorite part! I absolutely love Tarte products. Not only do they apply well and look good, but they a re crulty free too! Did you notice that the color is just like the BirchBox Pink? It applies so smoothly and has a barbie like pink color. Very sweet and innocent.
I received the
*TarteLipsurgence lip tint in AMUSED
*Full size sent $24

Next was a Beautiful ESSIE polish *Full size sent - $8 A cut Above This is one of my favorite colors. Pink and glittery! Can't get any better The pic is with 3 coats of only this top coat. Just to see what it looks like alone. Everyone asking what is that on my nails?

This twist band in gold is perfect! I just removed my old hair tie from my wrist and use this one now. It goes on easily and doesn't pull out my hair when I remove it. Best part it stays in place! I know some people think this is a cheesy product for our BirchBox, but I think it is perfect for me. Perfect for a cute touch on my wrist instead of the usual black or brown hair bands. I have been asked what is that? I tell them a hair tie and response... cute where did you get it?
One hair tie - $1.50 each

Next is a perfume from ANNiCK GOUTAL in Petite Cherie. This is a very "professional" scent. Classic and very nice

Lastly is *Oil blotting sheets from SHISEIDO 10 sheets - $1.80. Nothing much to say. They are a little larger than the usual sheets and these are more paper like. Sometime they are a plastic like sheet or paper like. Very useful and will keep in my purse till I run out.

This BirchBox was Fantastic and so worth it! It had the perfect amount of makeup and other beauty items enclosed. A lip color, a polish, oil sheets and a hair tie. To finish a pretty scent this month. If you would like to join BirchBox click HERE and sign up!!

Truvía® natural sweetener Product Review

Truvía® natural sweetener

I have been using Truvía® for a while now. I started using it sometime last year when I was trying to cut down on Sugar to rid myself of some excess belly fat. Yes cause excessive sugar causes belly fat. I tried several sweeteners and Truvía® was the one I liked the most. The texture is just like sugar for those that need that look and feel of sugar. It has zero calories and is a natural sweetener from the Stevia Plant. Oh and it is also Kosher Certified.

I really love the single packets.

love the box I received from my Influenster Love VoxBox.

It is perfect to keep in your purse and have for use especially in restaurants. I hope they get in on the Truvía®, so we can use it everywhere. One packet is the same as 2 teaspoon of sugar so it's like 2 for one!!

You can get it a nearly any grocery store or major retailers. It comes in box of 40 - 180 packets per box and even spoonable container which I like for home use to add to my tea. They now have a Truvía® baking blend 1/2 same as 1 cup of sugar!!! What next?!
