My December Birchbox!

Viewing an endless number of blogs over the past few years, I kept reading about
Birchbox -  a cute little box with four to five hand-picked luxury samples that
gets delivered each month for only $10 (per month)!
Subscribers receive points for every box, and once points start adding up,
they can be used to purchase full-sized products on the Birchbox website.
When signing up, they ask questions about what you're interested in sampling,
so it's very personalized which is great.  I signed up near the end of
November and got my first Birchbox within two weeks.
Obviously I was a little slow with posting about it, but here we are.
Better late then never!  

1) amika Obliphica Hair Treatment  (regular size $34)

I was so excited to see this product when I opened my Birchbox because my straightener is made by amika! This oil treatment is perfect for before or after heat styling! Only a few drops adds shine, nourishes hair, and diminishes frizzes.  Plus, the smell is phenomenal.  I have a few spots on my head of especially frizzy hair, and this treatment left those problem areas very smooth.

2) AHAVA Mineral Body Lotion (regular size $24)

This lotion left my skin super soft! This mineral body lotion is super smooth because it's a light moisturizer and it sinks into the skin really quickly.  My favorite part about this product is actually the scent.  The natural aloe and witch hazel extracts leave a very fresh, energizing scent!

3) Incoco Nail Polish Applique (regularly $7.99 - $10.99)

When I opened my Birchbox I was not loving the print that I got for these nail polish appliques. But, I have used products like this in the past and had great results so I was happy to try out a new brand. 

 I also checked Incoco's website and found that they 

have a good selection of other nail prints that I am a fan of.

I haven't had the chance to use these yet, but the application process looks easier

 than other nail applique products I've used.

4) Jouer Moisturizing Lip Gloss in Birchbox Pink (regular size $20)

I love the fuchsia shade of this lip gloss, but found it to be more sticky than moisturizing.  I did like that there was no glitter, and that it's thin enough to apply one coat for a semi-sheer pigment, or build it for a hot pink shade.  I probably wouldn't spend $20 on it though. 

Unfortunately, I was clicking through the Birchbox website earlier today and discovered they are currently SOLD OUT of subscriptions! :( But..there is a waiting list! I would definitely recommend 

hopping on that list, because this is a great way to try out new products and possibly 

find something you'll fall in love with!

UPDATE!

Here are some more ideas of how to wear colored jeans...

Over the weekend I purchased a pair of cobalt blue and kelly green jeans 

from my work and I'm anxious to wear them!

Me in my new cobalt blue jeans from Wet Seal! What do you think of these outfit ideas?

Pastel jeans are in this spring season too! 

This is my manager and fellow fashionista Terra
rocking Wet Seal's turquoise pair.

Hope the rest of everyone's weekend is spectacular!
