Bevin

In my April Birchbox I received a sample of Zoya nail polish. One of the many things I love about getting Birchbox are these polish samples. I've gotten 6 or 7 over the last nine months or so, and it is just a little bump in my nail polish addiction. I'll post a pic once I get things unpacked and put up on shelves.

This color is Bevin, and it is from the 2012 Spring Collection - True. The sample is half the normal bottle, 0.25fl oz. and values for $4.00 us.

Onto the swatch!

Natural Light - daytime

Flash - nighttime

Full Size - Mitzi  /  Sample Size - Bevin

I like this color, it is a very soft teal color, almost like a grey teal, and will look good with most of my clothes. I cant wait to see what fun designs I can use this in ^_^ A direct link to the color - Bevin!

I love me some Zoya nail polish, it always seems to last a little longer and is additive free, so it is a little more friendly than some others.

Hope you like this and cannot wait to post more colors!

April Birchbox

It's that time of month again! Birchbox Time!! ^_^

I was a little greedy last month and wanted to get both my regular and the Teen Vogue boxes. I was pleasantly surprised with both boxes and totally worth it. So this month is the last one that I'm getting two boxes, I am a little sad but maybe in the future I will get it again, or maybe another sample box if I can find one that stands up to Birchbox.

Double the fun!

Everything together

Very excited to give things a try! I'm happy to get another Atelier Cologne, I received the Vanille Insensée which is AMAZING. I would love to give all of their scents a sniff! I tried to figure out the values of everything right, but I may be off a little on some but all in all, paying $20 for $100 worth of product is so worth it.

I will swatch things and give a more detailed review of products, I have Bevin on right now and I'll post on it tomorrow, as well as the scents as I wear them through the day.

I'm looking forward to seeing my friend's Birchboxes. I'm getting more and more of my friends into it and I love to see the differences in the products. ^_^

Off to bed tonight, see you all tomorrow!

Don't run away just yet!

Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about you! I'm getting nails done as we speak! The last to weeks have been a little hectic, breaking my ankle and then un-breaking, crutches to boot. So I guess this was a horrible time to get a blog set up but I swear it's coming. ^_^

Oh Hai!

Hello! So here I am again, starting a super cool awesome blog. ^_^ This time I promise to post more often!

The goal of this blog is to post about things that brighten my day. Make-up, beauty & lifestyle products, art, food and fun things to do with friends. It's a little bit of everything!
