Desperately Seeking Bookworm

I've come to realize that Sephora Play is definitely my favorite box. I've already decided that I will be cancelling my Allure box and perhaps picking up Ipsy or another box, still undetermined on that. November was a pretty good month, I've actually incorporated one of the products into my daily routine, so I always found that to be a win. I'm not sure if any of these are standout winners in my yearly roundup of all the products I've received, but we shall see. For now, enjoy! Caudalie Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet (Full-size $39): Seriously I get way too many moisturizers in subscription boxes. This is something I would love to never get again. I've tried Vinosource before and it's a fine moisturizer, I just don't want to open it right now. Final Grade: TBD Sephora Collection Ultra Shine Lip Gel in Pin Up Pink (Full-size $12): I'm kind of over the matte trend, so I'm happy to get a gloss. I like that they're including a Sephora Col...

This is my second time writing this post and I'm not happy about it. I had originally written it on my phone and then Blogger froze and deleted EVERYTHING! I was finished with the post (sans pictures) and that damn app upset me, grrr. So now here I am again writing this post, which is hopefully as fabulous as the first post that I had written. Makeup Forever Artist Eyeshadow & Powder Blush I544 Pink Granite (Full-size $21):  You can use this as a blush? Hmm I'm not sure I would want this color on my cheeks, but that's good to know for future purchases. I'm very impressed by this shadow. Again, I've never used MUFE shadows before and this was just perfect. It doesn't swatch particularly well, its a glittery taupe that leans pink, but you really do need to build it up. I haven't tried it layered over a cream shadow, but I think it will be perfect for that. I'm also happy that we are able to depot this and stick it in a palette. Much appreciation Seph...

So I got my Birchbox about a week ago for this month and I thought I'd review it for everyone. Usually I just use things and then say I hate them, I never give them a fair chance. With this box, and this post however, I will be doing full reviews. As always I'm excited about the thought of getting my Birchbox every month, but they very rarely deliver. This month though, wasn't too bad since I actually got things I've wanted to try. For those of you who don't know Birchbox is a monthly subscription service that delivers 5-6 deluxe size samples to your doorstep for $10 a month. It is a recurring charge, or you can chose to purchase gift subscriptions. They also have a points system, for every 100 points you earn you get $10 in the shop. The points can be earned by purchasing boxes, items in the shop, writing reviews on the item, and inviting friends. The contents of my box were: Juice Beauty Stem Cellular Repair CC Cream Beauty Protector Protect & Detangle...
