November Birchbox

Hi sweeties!

I have been a Birchbox member for 5 months now and I've been thinking about unsubscribing since their boxes were not living up to my expectations with their tiny samples and lack of make-up products. This month I feel like BB redeemed themselves since I finally received a full sized product from them and the sample sizes weren't ridiculously small this time around! If you haven't heard of birchbox check out their site here. It is a $10 monthly subscription. I wanted to share my November box since I love it so much!

Look at the full sized mascara! That is the product I'm most excited about and will give a review as soon as I try it! It is a fiber extension mascara to make it look like you have falsies on. I'm also excited about the Oscar Blandi texture and volume spray since I have limp and thin hair hopefully this will do the trick. It's also a very considerable sample size! I tried the Soy Joy bar recently and I actually love the taste. It's yummy and has cranberries, I'm planning to buy some at my local supermarket. The Smitten bath bomb is super adorable, it looks like a real cupcake! Too bad I do not have a bath tub so I will be gifting this to a friend. The perfume sample is Stella Cadente and I love the packaging, its much more useful than the regular perfume sample bottles. It smells really lovely but kind of strong, so I'll remember not to spray too much. The Caldrea hand soap is really useful as well, I will take this with me when I go traveling or keep in my purse in case there is no soap at public places! I heard this soap smells wonderful.

What I like about Birchbox is that they give you top notch quality samples and sometimes give you full sized make-up products that is more than what you paid for the monthly fee! The mascara they gave me retails for about $22 so I'm super happy about that.

Do you guys subscribe to Birchbox too? How do you like it?

Also please remember to check out my giveaway down below, I have added some new items for the winner!!

Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner in black review

Hi beauties!

I purchased this Eyeko Skinny liquid eyeliner in the color black from Birchbox since I had points to use up! I also got the rose gold Color Club nail polish but still waiting for it to arrive. If you haven't heard of Birchbox, check out their site! You get to try top notch beauty samples for only $10 a month and you get to earn lots of points. I got both these purchases for free with my saved up points :) I decided to try this liner today and here is my review.

The packaging is super cute. This is a best seller at Birchbox so I just had to try it! I ended up loving it, the description on the back is true to its words! Retails for $15.

It is a felt tip marker type of eyeliner and it is not too stiff or flimsy. It has a bit flexibility to create that perfect line or wing you desire but has a lot of control at the same time! This goes on easily with no bleeding, so easy and quick to use. 

It dries very fast. I noticed it took only under 10 seconds and I tested it by wiping my finger on this mark and it did not smudge one bit! It does not fade through out the day, very long lasting. Very convenient so you will not have to reapply during the day! 

The thing I love the most is that the finish is not too glossy like other liquid liners, this one is gives a soft and semi glossy finish at the same time. I hate how when liquid liners are way too glossy, it looks too harsh and is so prominent. This one is also very pigmented, one stroke and you're good to go!

This might end up being my holy grail liquid liner, I love how its so easy to use with no touch ups required <3
