NEW Cynthia Rowley Palette RAVE REVIEW

I purchased this palette thru BirchBox with my Birchbox points.

Cynthia Rowley Birchbox Exclusive Palette is $24

The cover is beautiful with an abstract floral design.

The colors are an amazing warm, pink toned palette.

The dark Brown is a solid chocolate brown and a little soft, but amazing pigment. excellent to darken up your outer corner or use as a liner as well.

Next is a warm almost rose toned golden brown shade. This is great to deepen the crease color.

Next is a a shade lighter than the above shade. It is a perfect blending color or an all over lid color. rosy brown.

Next is a multi color shade that results in a beautiful burgundy rose color. This happens to be my absolute favorite shade in the whole palette. A little can go a VERY long way, but don't worry if you happen to have a heavy hand since it is easy to blend out. A little smidge of this color on your brush is all you need, but you can make it very bold too. 

Last is the a golden shimmer, the lightest shade. It has the least amount of boldness compared to the rest, but excellent as an inner corner highlight or an all over lid color.

These colors are so easy to apply and blend out. You will never get bored of using this palette. It has been my everyday palette since I got it. 

Here are a couple screenshots from some recent video uploads.

Birchbox October 2013

The Dr. Brandt microdernabrasion skin exfoliant was Ahhhmazing. A little bit goes a long way. If you are like me and want to feel the the product scrubbing your skin then you will love it. 

I have to admit the scent reminded me on lemon scented pledge, but I really enjoyed the feeling. It feels like thousands of mico beads or super fine sand being scrubbed all over your face. If you have very sensitive skin then just be careful not to scrub too hard. Personally I really appreciate that I can feel it exfoliating my face. It did an excellent job and my face felt so incredibly soft after using it. 

 The pop aqua laquer in "Flowering Fuchsia" Initially I was unsure if I would like it since my initial swatch on my hand was unappealing. It has an odd shaped wand. It is a plastic applicator and doesn't go on smoothly. The idea of having a wand in a squeeze tube is excellent, but just with the applicator was different. The texture was surprisingly not sticky since it appeared that it would be very sticky. I was happy with the consistence and the color is just a sheer color. The price is $14. This item alone covers the cost of the box. 

 Chap Stick hydration lock. I have yet to use it, but I love chapstick in general so I am sure will be happy with it. Cost approx $2.99 (this was the extra in the box this month)

Supergoop! City Sunscreen. The product is good, and it does it's job. A full size is $42. I don't think I will purchase a full size since I think there are many other brands that do the same thing for much less. While the full (purse) size has a nifty package and will not explode in your bag, it is not worth $42 when I can get a travel size for nearly nothing at the drug store. 

Lastly is a sample of Atelier Cologne "Orange SanguineColone Absolue. The scent is light, fresh, citrus-like and summery. It is a pleasant scent, but everyone has their own likes and this one is nice, but not a preferred scent. I appreciate trying new scents. It also came with a postcard to use in the future. 

Overall I the cost of Birchbox is $10 per month. The approx value is over $20 and if you are interested in signing up I wouls appreciate signing up with my link HERE. 

Thank you for checking out my blog, until the next post.

LAQA & Co. Fat lip pencil Review

I am so thankful to get to try out the LAQA & Co.  Fat Lip Pencils. I have been eyeing them for quite some time. When I saw that it was available thru Birchbox I was even happier since I had a lot of Birchbox points to use up. Fortunately I get to try it thru Birchbloggers and tell you what they are like. 

 The Full size is Wolfman
The lil Mini duo is Lambchop (lighter) and Pinkman (darker)
First I just have to say the packaging is incredible! I love cute packaging and that is what I liked about it first. Then came to look of the colors. I thought they were going to be like a simple lip balm, but I was very wrong. The color you see on the Lip pencil is the color you will see on your lips, a very pigmented creamy lip pencil. It it only needs a very light application to get a lot of color. (with the exception of "Wolfman") They are very rich, silky in texture and moisturizing to the lips. The lasting power is long lasting for the bold colors and leaves a tint behind when worn down. 

These are available in the Birchbox shop. The Lil Lip Duo is $18 and the full size is $18. There are 5 shades available in the Birchbox shop. From a light pinky-nude to a bold bright red.

Ring of Fire

Lamb Chop

Bossy Boots

Fairy Blood

Wolfman
