A Few of My Favorite Things

I thought I would share a few of my favorite Birchbox discoveries. I've been a subscriber for a year and a half now (at least) and still love my box every month, and love a good portion of the samples I receive every month. Even though there are lot's of products I've fallen in love with there are only a few I have added to my beauty routine.



Beauty Protector is exactly what my hair needed to protect it from daily blow-drying, and the occasional flat ironing. It keeps my hair from drying out and leaves it silky smooth and beautiful. It retails for $21.95 via Birchbox. 



This is a brand new line of hair care products from Jeff Chastain and only available via Birchbox at this time. This spray is like magic! I have very little curl in my hair, but this spray leaves my hair with the perfect amount of beach waves, it's not drying at all, and is the perfect way to achieve wash and wear hair with no drying or effort. It retails for $24 through Birchbox.



3. Vasanti BrightenUp


I'm a big fan of enzyme face masks and/or washes, and this acts as both. It's a scrub, but you can leave it on after scrubbing (this works best while taking a shower) for additional enzyme action. My skin feels so clean and smooth after using this. It lasts FOREVER! I only use 1 1/2 of these a year! At $34 it's a steel of a deal!

4. Dr. Jart+ Pore Minimalist


I will warn you this mask can be a little alarming to your family if they have no idea you're going to walk out of the bathroom with a black charcoal mask on! But, it's totally worth it! The mask is pre-soaked in the charcoal serum and fits your face like a true second skin. The charcoal works to clarify, purify, and minimize appearance of pores. Honest truth, the day after using the mask (all 5 times) I was complimented on how nice my skin looked. That's all the proof I need! It feels amazing on your face, and leaves beautiful, soothed, clean skin behind! You can order sets of 5 masks through Birchbox for $35.

How do I afford all these lovely products you may ask. Well, that's one of the best things about Birchbox! There are different ways to earn Birchbucks (BB) and every 100 BB gives you $10 to spend on full size products. I earn my BB by reviewing every sample I receive each month, you earn bb for each review submitted, I also earn them when I pay for my year long subscription, and you earn them when you shop with Birchbox. I have yet to pay anything out of pocket for any of the above products.

Of course there are lot's of other products I use that have nothing to do with Birchbox and come from the local drug store. But, I'm not going to share all my secrets. ;-)

P.S. this is not a sponsored post, Birchbox has no idea I'm posting about the service or the products.
