Essie Luxe Effects: Set in Stones Swatch
The March TeenVogue Birchboxes included different variations of the Essie Luxe Effects collection. I am absolutely addicted to nail polish so I was super delighted to unbox my Birchbox and find Set in Stones tucked inside. Below is a quick swatch of it layered over Zoya Robyn.
I wasn’t really expected to be that impressed with it, being just silver glitter, but I actually love it!...

KISS Nail Dress Tutorial & Review
I received a pack of adorably designed Kiss nail dress stick-ons for review in my Love VoxBox through Influenster. Kiss stick-on nail polish is awesome because it comes pre-designed and shaped to fit your nails. You can do a complete manicure in 5-10 minutes with no cleanup necessary. The best part is: there is no mess involved and absolutely no drying time! Plus, they have tons of cute designs so...

Deborah Lippman "I Know What Boys Like" Swatch

I thought it was going to be a much lighter shade but it’s still gorgeous. This is my first Deborah Lippman polish (and it certainly not the last!). It applies flawlessly and doesn’t even need 2 coats for...

bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation Swatches & Review
bareMinerals recently held an awesome promotion where you could order a bunch of samples of their SPF 15 Foundation and moisturizer for $1 shipped. They only offered a limited number of shades but I still took advantage of the offer and placed an order for each shade + moisturizer! They must have had an overwhelming amount of orders because my package was missing 2 shades (Fairly Light, Medium...

Birchbox HAUL: Laura Geller, Beautyblender,...
Since I got my first Birchbox in September 2011 I managed to rack up 770 Birchbox points by reviewing products and referring people. If you’re unfamiliar with the Birchbox points system, essentially you get 10 points for every item you leave feedback for, and 50 points every time you refer a friend; For every 100 points you get $10, therefore my 770 points converts to $70 that can be used...

Vichy Sponsored Birchbox
Birchbox sent a special Vichy-sponsored Birchbox to some lucky subscribers who qualified based on a combination of settings in their beauty profile. I can only assume that I was chosen because I have anti-aging ticked as one of the “concerns” in my profile. Why would a 23 year old who has no wrinkles or loose skin be concerned about aging? Preventative measures, I say! I prefer to...
