February’s Birchbox was dedicated to being ‘Red Carpet Ready’ with a nod to Valentine’s Day. Did you happen to watch the Oscars last night? When it comes to fashion and makeup, I was especially enamored with Jessica Chastain and Charlize Theron.
An now, unwrapping this month’s Birchbox…
My Multi-Purpose Mattifying Moisturizer: I’m always fearful of any moisturizers with mattifying properties. My concern is that it will completely dry out my skin. I must admit, I liked this moisturizer, especially for nighttime use.
ShowStoppers Designer Fashion Tape in Nude & Black : I can see where this would come in handy… But I tend to not buy dresses/tops that would recuire me to use tape. The best way to avoid a wardrobe malfunction is to wear pieces that are actually wearable…
Secret Agent Beauty Kiss-Kiss Rendezvous: Glosses just are not my cup of tea. I did like the fact that this one was not the least bit sticky.
Beauty Protecter Protect & Detangle: First off, I would buy this product for the smell alone. It left my hair looking and feeling healthy. I’m a big fan of products that help protect against UV rays and heat.
Juicy Couture Couture La La: The lily of the valley and orange blossom notes were just too strong for my liking. I much prefer Juicy Couture Viva la Juicy La Fleur.
Ghirardelli Milk & Caramel Squares: Chocolate. Caramel. Always good in my book.


Chocolate is always a good thing!
My thoughts exactly!
