It's a 10 noir!

Finally, the last two items left in my November Birchox!

First we have the It's a 10 Miracle Leave-In Product. Right off the bat, I'm not big on the smell. I guess to me it smells like hairspray, and sometimes that can be a little ugh. I'm not saying that it is repulsive, but it smells like a hair product, if you get what I'm saying. After all of the bleaching and heat tools that I use on my hair I am constantly looking for something that will give me an extra boost to it's health. I need a product to condition, help frizz, help repair, to make my hair bouncy and soft. This does all of these things! I'm fresh out of the shower, towel dried my hair and pumped this in. I am really surprised with how well it sprays, inside the container it is pretty thick but the product is pumped out it is thin and really easy to work with. After my hair dried, it was left bouncy and sooooooo soft! The smell didn't linger so that is a big plus.
I am really pleased with this product and would love to get my hands on more products to try to out! This sample is pretty big, so it should last me a while. A full size product is $19.99 for 4fl. oz at the Birchbox shop.

Supergoop!

The first time that I was introduced to this brand was in a Birchbox last summer. The last product I had the pleasure to sample was the Supergoop! City Sunscreen Serum. It is a great product to wear under your makeup to add that layer of amazing sun protection.

This time I got a little tube of their Supergoop! Daily Correct SPF 35 CC Cream in Light/Medium.

Nipple Lips?

Yeah, nipple lips. I said it, and you'll want them too. Okay not really nipples on your lips, but the Dr. Lipp Original Nipple Balm for Lips is something that you will want!

I'll throw it out there up front, I was a little weary about this product. Like really? What is Birchbox sending me. But, I was pleasantly surprised. The product is pretty thick and a little goes a long way so keep that in mind, the sample size that I got will last me quite a while. Once it's on, it is the perfect lip balm. Not too sticky and super moisturizing. It makes a great base for any color I add on top.

This miracle salve is made from 100% medical grade Lanolin. No alcohol, no parabens, no color and no perfumes. Poking around I'm seeing all sorts of other things to use this product for, including but not limited to:

• Prep dry skin before applying foundation for a more even look.
• Shaping eyebrows
• Perfect to get glitter to stay in place
• Help prevent dry cuticles
• Helps with small cuts, burns and abrasions
• Helps sore noses from blowing 
• And of course, helps soothe sore nipples from breastfeeding
• Plus many, many other uses...

When this little tube runs out I will definitely be getting a full size. A little on the pricy side for just a lip balm, but looking at all of the other uses that you can use this for, it doesn't seem too bad. A full size is 0.5 fl oz and will put you back $14.50.

Dark N' Stormy Chocolate

Man I would love to see what that would taste like! Today I have two November Birchbox items to share.


I'm going to jump right into the samples. My favorite thing to get in any sort of box is of course, the nail polish! This time it was Dark N' Stormy from the Color Club's Cocktail Hour collection. It is a gunmetal gray, with a nice metallic finish to it. The formula with Color Club is pretty consistent, there is good coverage with one coat, two smooths it out and you're good to go. I recently have been purchasing a lot of grays and navy colors so this fits right into the gap that I had left for my fall colors.

The Cocktail Hour collection also includes On The Rocks, a bright and shiny silver, and Top Shelf, a shimmery peach-copper. All are perfect shades for the holiday season!

Full size for Color Club shades on Birchbox are, $8.00


Time for the CHOCOLATE! Running a close second to nail polish are delicious sweets. This time it was a FULL size Ghirardelli chocolate bar is the flavor, Mint Cookie. Now think about that....yup, that is exactly what it is. This is a bar of delicious chocolate wrapped around a mint cookie, yes like Thin Mint cookies dipped in chocolate! It has that rich milk chocolate that everyone is familiar with from the Ghirardelli brand, and then on top of the minty goodness inside there is a cookie crunch! It's a texture thing, and I like it. There was another flavor that they were sampling this month and it was Toffee Crunch, the roommate got it in her box and they ate it right up!

 I wanted to share at work so I kind of felt like a chocolate dealer with the foil package asking people if they wanted a hit of the mint cookie chocolate. Of course now they all want it, lol.

A full size will put you back between $3 and $5? I'm not actually sure what a chocolate bar goes for, but I'm sure that it depends on your area and availability and all that.


This is the Week of the Doctor! So I have been doing a set of Doctor Who inspired nails in honor of the 50th Anniversary of the show. I cannot wait to sit back and relax and watch on Saturday. I'll post a collective of what I came up with over the weekend. Keep and eye out for the rest of my November Birchbox goodies and ALLON-SY! ^_~

Birchbox Time!

This month as another amazing box, with a whopping six items to enjoy! The format that I used last month worked really well for me that I think I'm going to stick with it. So, on with the good stuff!

November 2013 holds:

• Ghirardelli Chocolate Bar - Mint Cookie
• Dr. Lipp - Original Nipple Balm for Lips
• Supergoop! - Daily Correct SPF 35 CC Cream
• It's a 10 - Miracle Leave-In-Product
• Juicy Couture - Viva La Juicy Noir
• Color Club - Cocktail Hour Dark N' Stormy

There isn't too much to the post but I did want to touch base and let you know what was coming!

I feel like I'm behind a bit, I was tied up for a week in court for jury duty selection so I was absent from a lot of media. Right now I'm fighting a chest cold, and fingers crossed relaxing this weekend will help shake that.

As you can see I am excited to jump into this month's box, and to be honest that chocolate bar was gone the other night when I opened it up ^_~
