Ulta & Birch Box Review.

Let's start with the items I got in my Birchbox! 

This is my very first one & I'm pleased with the products I received!

If you don't know what Birchbox is, it's a monthly subscription of beauty products. You get sample size products to try out & you gain points to buy full size products. It's only $10 a month which includes shipping &handling. 

 This is the cute box you receive all your products in!

 My items & a description.

 Redken; Shine Flash 02

A weightless finishing spray that uses camelina oil and vitamin B5 to give you silky, shimmering strands.

opinion;

I haven't tried this one out yet, but I'll let you know how it it when I do! 

 blinc; Mascara

This tubing mascara won't smear, smudge, or run--plus it gives lashes a sassy, extra glossy look.

opinion:

I really like this mascara, it doesn't clump but literally forms tubes around your lashes! 

BeFine; Lip Exfoliator

A lip healing wonder. BeFine's gentle Lip Exfoliator sloughs away flakes and cracks to leave lips velvety.

opinion;

It makes my lips very soft. I get a tingle sensation after and they look plump!

Pangea Organics; Facial Scrub

This all-natural scrub uses cranberry seed enzymes and finely ground adzuki bean to clear away dead skin so that your products and do their job.

opinion;

I only used it once, my face got a bit red. I'll have to test it out a few times.

 Tea Forte; minteas

Our new obsession, these tasty mints are infused with energizing yerba mate and rich cocoa.

This was my "Extra" Product.

opinion;

I have not tried these yet, I'm a bit nervous! lol

 Fall colors!

What about you?

Now onto my Ulta products. I bought 25 dollars worth of items and received free shipping as well as many many free samples! 

 Clay Mask; Mint&Lemon

Nice smell, but did not work as well as the avocado mask by Freeman.

Freeman products are cheap but very effective.

$3.99

NYX; Glitter Cream Palette 

Amazingly glittery! I used the deep purple and gold. There are other color sets as well. 

Long lasting & vibrant.

$5.99

 NYX; Eyeshadow Base

I'm not sure if i'm even using this correctly. Put it on. Apply eyeshadow? If so I'm not sure if i'm seeing much of a difference in vibrancy but it does help to keep the eyeshadow on longer.

$6.99

 Aveeno; Sample size.

Smells amazing & makes my hands soft!

 Girl Meets Pearl; Sample

I have not used this yet, it's a one time usage. Anyone know about this product?

 Blemish Fighting Ice Cleanser; Sample (2)

I'm excited to try this one out, sounds refreshing!

 Exuviance; Serums

I hate to admit this, but I really don't even know what these are going to do for me. 

Has anyone tried these products?

 Elle; pony tails

I needed to spend about 3 more dollars to get my free shipping so I added this in!

 PureDKNY Sample

                                                                         Versace sample

 Forbidden Euphoria

Smells Delicious!

I also got this hair dye.

But I used it so I can't show you! But, it's the best red dye i've used, ever. 

Shiny, healthy feeling, not washing out. It's fantastic!

Have you gotten anything from Birchbox or Ulta before?

Do you have any suggestions for the products I bought?

Sorry for being lazy...

I haven't even gotten to the Ulta/Birchbox blog. I've been working like a mad man (woman!) & I had Saturday off but I was so exhausted I ended up sleeping all day... But on the bright side I am trying them out before I review them. :) &It'll be my first review of products I ordered online so....please don't judge my lack of knowledge. D: lol

Well, the boyfriend & I are waiting for our movie to download. Whichever when finishes first is the one we shall watch. Harry Potter <3 or Dinner for Schmucks! Anyone adore HP like myself?

Have a wonderful night! :D

I hope this brightened your day! :)

Sad.

This post is not a happy one. I need to let out my emotions. Right now I feel like I'm dying inside, I could sleep forever. I don't think I could ever commit sucicide but I feel so much pain right now.

I've been diagnosed with depression and being bipolar, but I believe my medication is no longer effective. Although, I supposed when your father calls you an embarrassment & a disappointment your going to feel like this, right? My childhood was traumatic, but I'd like to say I turned out pretty good. For some reason in recent years my dad has been very mean to me. I stay with my boyfriend&his parents most of the time but I still talk too my dad. &the traumatic part of my childhood didn't even involve my father, but my mom. Ha, traumatic part, sorry the whole damn thing was. Besides the little parts I can remember of being so happy. I'm not going to talk about it, not today anyways. I'm sure eventually I'll post about it.

I don't believe I'm an embarrassment, I work so hard. I do everything everyone ask's of me. I never talk back to anyone, I don't argue, I am polite, I care about everyone. Yet, I'm a disappointment as well. 

I guess I'm just a loser.

Love.

My post for today is about love. When this word come to mind I think about my boyfriend, Alexander. Alejandro, Honey, pumpkin pie, you get it. Anyways, let me tell you a story...

On July 24th of 2007, approximately two hours after my 15th birthday had ended I received a phone call from Alexander. We were not currently dating at the time. I was up north with my cousin camping and our call got dropped. A few minutes later I received a text message, the best text message I will ever have gotten. He asked me out through a text. :)

He was the first boy to ever ask me out, first boy to call me beautiful, first boy to kiss me, hold my hand, hug me, tell me he loves me, &everything in between. None of our friends wanted us to be together. His friends, the  ones whom were girls, taunted me on Myspace. (Back when it was COOL.lol) My best friend had dated him as well, and you have to consider how young we all were. He was 14 & myself just 15. But our outlook remained the same, nothing will break us apart.

Then, Carolanne tried to tear it all apart. She was my best friend, Alexanders ex. I asked her if it was okay with her for me to date him, she was happy! (She's also crazy) When I got back home, she had considerably gained weight, I knew something was wrong. She fought with us everyday, &was mean. I was chubby back then & she called me her fat friend. Lovely right? One day she gave me the choice; Her or Alexander. My answer was this, "Alex isn't making me choose so I choose him, goodbye." &I walked away. That's when the abuse at school started with her, name calling, spitting on me. It's alright, I made her cry on the last day of school. &Guess who's fat now. &still nothing would break us apart!

Until one day, when he called me one too many times & my grandparents wouldn't let me answer my phone & they went insane. I started to cry, they called my dad & there went my phone, snapped into one half & then another, cutting my dad's hand in the process. I was told never to see Alexander again. I was stuck at my grandparents, no communication to anyone for a few days. Then when it was time to go back to school my dad came with me, told the principal to keep us apart. My grandparents would pick me up from home and take me to school & pick me up after for three weeks.

When Christmas time rolled around I was dying to see him. Not that I didn't see him at school, or sneak around I was a teenager but I hate having to lie. So, I wrote my dad the longest letter, explaining to him how I felt about this boy, why he shouldn't keep us apart& merely asking to go to Christmas celebration with him & his family. My dad said yes. :)

Christmas in 2007 Alexander gave me a necklace, I have been wearing is everyday for over four years now. July 24th of 2011 was our four year anniversary. We've never broken up, we don't count the time we had to be away from another because we were still together, just not in our families eyes. It's amazing how much you can truly love someone. This boy is my everything, we've been through so much together. The most amazing thing is how strong we've made each other, I'm such a better person then I was before. I have confidence, a decent self esteem & a sense of humor!
