Birchbox Favorites

When it comes to makeup and other beauty products I am not an expert. I would actually consider myself a beginner, as if I was just turning 14 and learning how to apply makeup. I don't even recall how I learned to apply makeup or anything else girly, most likely my sister (who is 4 years younger than me).  I am that girl who walks into Sephora, tells them generally what I am looking for, they suggest something and I buy it. Pathetic, I know. I honestly will buy anything that someone else has tried and will continue to use it, even if I don't really like it. I'm very low maintenance when it comes to make up and beauty products. I normally want the cheapest thing. Well recently I have figured out that as we get older, we need to pay more attention to what we are putting in and on our bodies. Just as I shouldn't  can't eat 4 donuts in one sitting as I did when I was 15. It's not good for my body. And as I grow up, some products I have recently used, aren't working for me as good as they used to.

About 4 months ago I was reading this blog, please do click that link and check out Lauren's blog. You can read about her new adventures in mommy hood as she and her husband welcomed a cute little boy a couple months ago! Lauren had a post about Birchbox and how much she loved it. I checked it out, ordered it right away and anxiously patiently waited for my 1st box to arrive. I absolutely love the concept of Birchbox. I filled out a little survey of what I liked and didn't like and what my style was and then I would receive monthly little samples of fun and interesting things that I would normally not buy for myself.  A girl can not go wrong with that!!! One thing I also love about Birchbox is you can buy so many different products and not just the ones you receive as samples. I love being about to browse all the items online instead of standing in a store clueless as to what I am looking for :)

Here are some of my recent favorites!

Gives my thin hair lots of volume!
