Hello Beauty Lovers,</div>

<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Today I'm going to review the fourth product of my collaboration with Yadah Korea: Brightening Jelly Pack.</div>

<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
This box contains 5 sheets masks, all soaked in rich jelly. The sheet itself is standard microfiber, it's thin and absorbent (You can see it when it's dry in the next photo). </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EF9a7JABNHM/WhSJyI-ztrI/AAAAAAAAByk/kRu36EHsAfMjmuTrmKMKtPULm7Kvuj_qACEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_20171117_211124_408.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EF9a7JABNHM/WhSJyI-ztrI/AAAAAAAAByk/kRu36EHsAfMjmuTrmKMKtPULm7Kvuj_qACEwYBhgL/s320/IMG_20171117_211124_408.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
The special thing about this mask is the essence the sheet is soaked in; It's not liquid or lotion like others, it's jelly as the name suggests (You can see the exact consistency in the next photo). </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AO1MNiPPOd8/WhSJxYAL3hI/AAAAAAAAByg/stzbhHJ_d2cVdV-SBaRjrMxgYkGT125zwCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_20171117_211124_407.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AO1MNiPPOd8/WhSJxYAL3hI/AAAAAAAAByg/stzbhHJ_d2cVdV-SBaRjrMxgYkGT125zwCEwYBhgL/s320/IMG_20171117_211124_407.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
It doesn't drip during the wear and is absorbed well by the skin. The pouch is full of jelly (See the next photo), more than enough for the entire upper body. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mxzk0Bv73FQ/WhSJxWs0yBI/AAAAAAAAByY/PWXH-c5axQALM5kRJBdmngS-VJccQDAiQCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_20171117_211124_406.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mxzk0Bv73FQ/WhSJxWs0yBI/AAAAAAAAByY/PWXH-c5axQALM5kRJBdmngS-VJccQDAiQCEwYBhgL/s320/IMG_20171117_211124_406.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
The jelly is very moisturizing and makes my skin look brighter. I like that it has citrus in its formula, vitamin C is always good for skin. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
All in all, I like this mask and would totally recommend.</div>

Hello Beauty Lovers,</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Today I'm going to review the third product of my collaboration with Yadah Korea: Velvet Mood lipstick.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
These lipsticks come in a sleek, black matte square box. In the next photos, you can see the exact amount of lipstick in each box.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
It glides on so easily and yields a true matte finish. Unlike other matte lipsticks, this formula didn't dry my lips at all. The colours I tried here are 05 Funky Orange (the lighter one) and 09 Brick Red are very vivid. Pigmentation is so rich that only one coat is enough to get full coverage. It doesn't pile on the lips or bleed outside the lip line. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
The only downside is that it transfers very easily. But, to be clear, it doesn't promise to be long-lasting. In the next photo, you can see that it was almost completely removed by rubbing with a dry paper towel. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-r4v5Oourskw/WhSHpg8d_gI/AAAAAAAAByI/xM4qXgVUDc0B4EpbvONQQg079JO2ozJIgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_20171114_215316_609.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1081" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-r4v5Oourskw/WhSHpg8d_gI/AAAAAAAAByI/xM4qXgVUDc0B4EpbvONQQg079JO2ozJIgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_20171114_215316_609.jpg" width="319" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I love it as it is, but if it was transfer-proof, it would be the Holy Grail lipstick. If you don't eat while wearing this lipstick, it will stay put perfectly. It stays well through drinking.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
I am really happy to have finally found a matte lipstick that isn't drying with so rich pigmentation.</div>

Hello Beauty Lovers,</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Today I am going to review the second product of my collaboration with Yadah Korea: Yadah Anti-T Red Zero Concealer. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T7r7T_d0ll8/WeKWC5aWqHI/AAAAAAAABwQ/3gS1omRzHuQ_Z5yda-YsQ_R6HwQo3nWmgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_20171013_232000_147.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T7r7T_d0ll8/WeKWC5aWqHI/AAAAAAAABwQ/3gS1omRzHuQ_Z5yda-YsQ_R6HwQo3nWmgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_20171013_232000_147.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div dir="ltr">
This concealer comes in a little tube with a twist top that's a bit tricky to use at first. Twist top has spring mechanism, so you turn it quarter to half round and the product is dispensed on top as shown in photo-3 (below right). </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0T_7_U8zZpg/WeKWC8xSCZI/AAAAAAAABwU/HSaPGrJbXm8Eqg9QGvd-ow-Hdpgae0hVwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_20171013_232000_149.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="200" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0T_7_U8zZpg/WeKWC8xSCZI/AAAAAAAABwU/HSaPGrJbXm8Eqg9QGvd-ow-Hdpgae0hVwCLcBGAs/s200/IMG_20171013_232000_149.jpg" width="200" /></a><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-89SpIYu5Dq8/WeKWDrHLgrI/AAAAAAAABwg/jSFrmkIedkkSZ5p8Ly3BYDb0j5GumCItgCLcBGAs/s1600/20171011_141145.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="200" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-89SpIYu5Dq8/WeKWDrHLgrI/AAAAAAAABwg/jSFrmkIedkkSZ5p8Ly3BYDb0j5GumCItgCLcBGAs/s200/20171011_141145.jpg" width="150" /></a></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
However, be very careful, it's very easy to dispense way more product than you would need. Move the top very slowly. The amount of product with one twist is more than enough to coat the entire face. Yes, that's right! The amount may seem little, but this product is so concentrated that a little goes a long way. This works great as a concealer, but I also tried it as a full face cover in place of BB cream just out of curiosity and was amazed by the coverage. It provides medium to almost full coverage. As you can see the mark on my hand in photo-4 (below left) is no longer there in photo-5 (below right) ❤</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
It covers all the redness and uneven skin tone on my face nicely and doesn't feel greasy or heavy at all. It gives a matte finish and can be used alone or under another BB cream/ foundation if you're looking for more of a dewy/glossy finish. It's easy to apply using just fingertips, I didn't notice any streaks. It is long lasting and I didn't observe any flakes/dryness during the wear, but this also means it takes some time to wash it off. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
All in all, this is a wonderful concealer. If you're in search of a high coverage one, you may want to give it a try. </div>

<br />
I must admit I was a lazy blogger for the past year or so. I continued posting on my micro-blog (Instagram) regularly, but couldn't post here :/<br />
Now, I have a good reason to come back: I am so happy to start a collaboration with Yadah Korea on a few products and the first product I get to review is Yadah Anti-Trouble bubble cleanser. I loved all Yadah products I used so far and am looking forward to trying more from this brand.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-isvHcNi2rcQ/WbXNhTON31I/AAAAAAAABu8/UzBzga6GGYQ9ue0ucCvvNkgz_YZ7XXI5QCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_20170905_185637_211.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-isvHcNi2rcQ/WbXNhTON31I/AAAAAAAABu8/UzBzga6GGYQ9ue0ucCvvNkgz_YZ7XXI5QCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_20170905_185637_211.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />This cleanser comes in a big bottle (150ml) which would be enough for long since just one pump is enough for the entire face. Out of the bottle, it smells pleasantly citrusy, but it's not a strong scent and doesn't stick around while using the product.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
One of the ingredients is salicylic acid, so be careful if you're allergic or pregnant.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NAn65V9jHXc/WbXNhoY0gNI/AAAAAAAABvI/-ATTkUmlFbMSlHhgaTD1Wdu_mschJHXCgCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_20170905_185637_214.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="903" data-original-width="904" height="319" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NAn65V9jHXc/WbXNhoY0gNI/AAAAAAAABvI/-ATTkUmlFbMSlHhgaTD1Wdu_mschJHXCgCEwYBhgL/s320/IMG_20170905_185637_214.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
As you can see in the second photo above, the foam is rich yet easy to rinse off. There is no weird slippery residue left. It cleans well, but you'll need to take off your makeup using micellar water or oil beforehand.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1L85abaoNMk/WbXNhSLPi-I/AAAAAAAABvM/rpWo3aSdXvEbFJplIO0qotRIJ8hq6XRMACEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_20170905_185637_215.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1035" data-original-width="1034" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1L85abaoNMk/WbXNhSLPi-I/AAAAAAAABvM/rpWo3aSdXvEbFJplIO0qotRIJ8hq6XRMACEwYBhgL/s320/IMG_20170905_185637_215.jpg" width="319" /></a></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I tested its pH using a colour-scale pH strip. As you can see in the third photo above, pH of this cleanser is around 5.5 which is acidic and that's good for your skin. Lower pH cleansers are preferred since they don't allow bacterial development and create a barrier on the skin. It isn't drying at all and my face doesn't feel tight afterwards.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I have been using this cleanser day and night for the past two weeks. When I first started I had a few pimples on my left cheek, but now they look better. I don't know if this product helped with them, but I didn't change anything else so there must be a connection. All in all, I like this cleanser a lot and am glad I got to try it.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I opened the jar, the cream almost seemed like petroleum jelly (color and consistency wise). But, I noticed the huge difference when I took a small dab. It melted with my body temperature just like extra virgin coconut oil, which showed how pure this cream is with no added stabilizers. Perfect! It is absorbed well by my normal-to-dry skin and left a nice glow. This gave me the idea to use it as highlighter to create a soft strobing effect, and yes, it worked well ;) The same glow is nice on nails and lips as well. So, this multi-functional jar of miracle will polish you up while healing all the dryness your skin got.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I make an effort to use clean products with no added chemicals, alcohol, parabens, GMOs whenever possible. Oxidants cause cell aging and added chemicals, parabens and GMO ingredients cause oxidative stress on skin cells which creates wrinkles (boo! We don't want them). Alcohol and astringent ingredients should always be avoided because they cause free-radical damage and irritation, which hurts your skin's ability to repair itself and damages its ability to produce healthy collagen (source: <a href="http://www.paulaschoice.com/expert-advice/paulas-choice-product-tips/_/do-i-need-a-toner" target="_blank">Paula's Choice</a>). I am in love with the clean formulation of Egyptian Magic and knowing that it's safe to use even on babies gives me great peace of mind.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The ingredient list is short and items are familiar to everyone. Once a wise person said "If you cannot easily pronounce/understand an ingredient in the list, there is something wrong with that product." Luckily, we all can pronounce and recognize (and also eat :P) all of the ingredients (shown in the image below). It's also PETA approved cruelty-free <3 (you can confirm <a href="http://features.peta.org/cruelty-free-company-search/cruelty_free_companies_company.aspx?Com_Id=3273&Donottest=-1&Product=0&Dotest=-1&RegChange=-1&Country=-1&Keyword=egyptian+magic" target="_blank">here</a>).</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had very specific problems which I hoped Egyptian Magic would help me with: </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* I had a small dry spot on my ankle (in the front, right where my foot and ankle meets) for so long. I tried so many different products from Vaseline to Neosporin to even Cortisol creams, none of them helped. I have been applying a small amount of Egyptian Magic once a day for the past 10 days, and my dry spot is almost gone, no redness anymore, yay!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* My lips are so dry, I have to exfoliate them 2-3 times a week and apply lip balm at least 5-6 times a day. I stopped exfoliating 2 days before I started using Egyptian Magic. Applying a small amount of this cream only once a day removed all my exfoliation needs and I do not have to apply balm so frequently anymore. Also, I like the nice glow it puts on my lips, sometimes I use Egyptian Magic in place of lip gloss ;) </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* I use cuticle oil on my nails regularly, but it's a bit messy. I cannot touch anything for 10 minutes after applying. I decided to stop using cuticle oil for a while and started applying this cream once a day for the past 10 days. Now, my cuticles look so good and nails look/feel much healthier. I did not experience a single nail break after Egyptian Magic, and believe me, my nails were the weak, brittle type.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* I keep placing my elbows on the table, unintentionally, while working. This makes them so dry and rough. After using Egyptian Magic on my elbows for the past 10 days only once a day, they are like a baby's bottom now you just have to touch to believe :D<br /><br />* I also tried Egyptian Magic on the following areas and observed perfect results:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fixing split ends on hair,</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Reducing frizz on hair (use very little),</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Using it as facial sleeping mask for all-over hydration (and getting rid of wrinkles),</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Using it to heal dry-rough heels.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">l have a very long flight coming up soon and am planning on keeping Egyptian Magic with me to deal with the dry cabin air, along with my sheet masks. After every flight my skin and lips get super dry, I'm sure my solution is around here somewhere ;) I will keep you updated on how it goes.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another tip I can give you to keep a jar of this miracle in your purse during the day and when your shoes start to hurt your feet apply a bit on the pressure points. This will reduce friction, give your feet relief, and prevent painful blisters.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you would like to strengthen your eyebrows, apply some of this cream and they will be nourished with a hint of glow.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For those of you who are not familiar with Egyptian Magic yet, I would like to share the first paragraph of the 2007 New York Times article on how it all started: <br />"<i>The Story of Egyptian Magic begins in 1986 at a Chicago Diner when an elderly man approached Westley Howard (The name Mr. ImHotepAmonRa was then known as), who was passing through as a water filter salesman at that time. The elderly man said to Westley, “Brother, the Spirit has moved me to reveal something to you.”. In that moment, Mr.ImHotepAmonRa said, ” It didn’t seem too weird to me. I’m a Spiritual person, so these things happen to me all the time.</i></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now, if I grabbed your attention, please go <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/27/fashion/27SKIN.html?_r=1&" target="_blank">here </a>to read the full New York Times article :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Egyptian Magic is the sweetheart of celebrities, fashion industry, and dermatologists. I know many doctors would recommend using this cream to heal burns and skin problems faster. What is better than being able to heal without using all the nasty chemicals?</span><br />

After my September box, this one didn't seem to have such great value but I am happy with them all because I haven't tried any of these before. Also, there is nothing I won't use in here, so, good job Birchbox :)</div>
<div style="color: black; line-height: 22.4px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;">I picked the Eyeko Black Magic mascara during sample choice period last month. I haven't used any Eyeko products before and heard such good things about this mascara. I am glad I picked this one, it is the highest value item in the box. I was planning on going with the Stila mascara but changed my mind when I saw this one as one of the options. However, I was unusually lucky this month and Stila appeared in my second box even though I subscribed on October 3rd to use the $5 box code before it expired. </span></span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;">As I mentioned, all of these products are new to me and I am very excited to discover new skincare.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"><b><u>Avène Soothing Moisture Mask</u></b></span><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"> is such a small sample, barely enough for 1-2 uses. But still, I like Avene products and this one also did not disappoint. I used it right after cleansing my face with Suki exfoliating cleanser (wonderful cleanser btw, get it immediately if you haven't done so already). After 15 minutes, I wiped it off with a cotton pad as directed and my skin looked and felt well moisturized and supple. This mask will be good for dry winter months. </span></span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"><b><u>Dear Clark, Thickening Balm</u></b></span><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"> is a nice sized product I will be able to take with me while traveling. It smells fresh and feels light on my fine-flat hair. I used it only once (on damp hair), so I do not see long term results yet. But it made my hair look a bit more voluminous after air-dried. </span></span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"><b><u>ORIGINS Modern Friction™ Nature's gentle dermabrasion</u></b></span><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"> is another tiny sample, but at least this is dermabrasion cream, so a little will go a long way. It is gentle, yet still exfoliates well.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"><b><u>Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo</u></b></span><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"> looks and smells so good! It doesn't leave any residue and is very effective in refreshing the roots. I like this small purse addition, it will definitely come in handy for some mid-day hair pick me ups ;)</span></span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"><b><u>Eyeko Black Magic Mascara</u></b></span><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"> sample size is great for purse and travel. It has a curved brush and creates a subtle look which is ideal for day time. I had to apply several coats to get some curling and lengthening, but I don't mind that. It is enriched with Keratin and Shea Butter which makes me feel better about applying mascara ;) It was also easy to take it off using Lancome Bi-Facil (after activating) and did not leave any residue. So far, I love it!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Overall, I like every single item in this box and am glad I picked the Eyeko mascara as my PYS.</span></div>

Hello beauty lovers,</div>
<div style="color: #181818; line-height: 22.4px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #181818; line-height: 22.4px; padding: 0px;">
My September 2015 Birchbox just arrived and I love it. I received the following samples:</div>

<div style="color: #181818; line-height: 22.4px; padding: 0px;">
I seem to have the best boxes during September each year. Last year's September box was also a great 7-item one.</div>
<div style="color: #181818; line-height: 22.4px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;">I picked the Davines Love shampoo and conditioner during the sample choice period last month. I haven't used Davines before and was dying to try something from them. I am glad I picked this one, I got to review for 20 total points instead of 10 and the shampoo size is really good. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;">Actually, all of these products are new to me and I am very excited to discover new skincare. Also, special thanks to Birchbox for sending me this beautiful full size <b><u>Japonesque eye shadow duo</u></b> which came in my favorite neutral shades (Shade 8). Its case looks beautiful and the size is just perfect to carry around in my purse. The shadows are very pigmented and buildable. These two tones of brown work great together for a soft smoky-eye look. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"><b><u>Malin+Goetz cleanser</u></b> feels nice on my skin and cleans well. I like the refreshing grapefruit scent. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"><b><u>Malin+Goetz moisturizer</u></b> also feels soft and light on my skin. Although the sample size was a bit small, I still was able to get one use out of it. It is absorbed well and does not leave any residue.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"><b><u>Davines Love/Shampoo</u></b> smells so good and feels great on my hair. Lather amount is nice, overall it is lovely indeed.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"><b><u>Davines Love/Conditioner</u></b> also smells great and makes my hair so soft. I like how nourishing it is. I like how this pair works so well together. These were my first Davines products to try and now I know why the Brand is a sensation.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"><b><u>Acure Organics face cleanser</u></b> is really gentle on my skin, yet cleans really well. I like that all the products of Acure are fair trade, natural, and certified organic; They are also very easy to find in places like Whole Foods and Target.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"><b><u>100% Pure coffee bean caffeine eye cream</u></b> is a gentle eye cream. It is absorbed well and does not leave any residue. Brand website describes their products as </span></span><span style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 22.4px;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">100% free of artificial colors, artificial fragrances, synthetic chemical preservatives and all other toxins. This is an approach I like very much as it gives plenty of cosmetics&skin care options to people with fragrance, etc allergies. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 22.4px;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 22.4px;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't know if you noticed too, but over the past year I noticed a strong effort by Birchbox to include more organic and cruelty free brands in their boxes. I appreciate it very much that they are putting an effort for better without increasing the costs. </span></span><span style="color: #181818; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 22.4px;"> </span></div>

<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Overall, I like every single item in this box and am glad I picked the Davines samples as my PYS.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you think of subscribing or resubscribing please use the code "5BOX" to get your first box at $5. It is even better if you use a referral link to make another person happy too (referring person will get $5 in BB shop if you subscribe through their link). So, please ask your BB subscriber friend for a referral link. If you don't know anyone who subscribes you can also ask me to send you a referral, if you wish ;)</span></div>

<span style="color: #181818; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;">For those of you who are not familiar with Birchbox yet: It is a monthly cosmetics&skin care subscription service that costs $10/month (including shipping). They usually send 4-5 deluxe samples (and sometimes regular foil ones :/ ) of usually new and trendy brands.</span></span></div>

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sLg0l98IwGQ/VfIOGsOfXhI/AAAAAAAABhY/jT7oI3ZbOvQ/s1600/beutyfix_sept.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sLg0l98IwGQ/VfIOGsOfXhI/AAAAAAAABhY/jT7oI3ZbOvQ/s320/beutyfix_sept.PNG" width="226" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The box was so empty, they had to fill it with air pillows. To better illustrate, I was able to put my filled Birchbox box in and close the Beautyfix box :/ I still like the curation of this box.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am especially excited for Dr. Brandt, Sanitas (smells great), and Nia24. The rest will be used or swapped away. All in all, I think this box is worth $24.99+tax or $34.99+tax since the Dr Brandt alone is $39+tax in Sephora (and Nick Chavez is $19+tax), but it is an even better deal for %50 off. So, if you are not subscribed yet but considering, I would say go for it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dermstore seems to send great boxes every other month now, so I hope the October box will be even better.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For those of you who are not familiar with Beautyfix yet: It is a monthly cosmetics&skin care subscription service that costs $24.99/month (including shipping) if you subscribe or $34.99 (including shipping) if you purchase a single box by Dermstore. If you subscribe nowadays, you can get the first month 50% off at $12.48. They usually send 10 full size products and deluxe samples of high end and usually dermocosmetics brands. You can find almost all of the products/brands in Dermstore. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I received the following lovely samples in </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">my August 2015 Birchbox</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4wDwElYm52s/VfHwapGlldI/AAAAAAAABhA/2y6WJVVdDN0/s1600/bb_aug.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4wDwElYm52s/VfHwapGlldI/AAAAAAAABhA/2y6WJVVdDN0/s320/bb_aug.PNG" width="223" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I picked the Candidly Nicole curated box during the sample choice period last month. I was excited to get especially Dr. Brandt and LAQA & Co. samples in this box, also none of the other options caught my eye. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I haven't tried 3 out of 5 items in this box: St. Tropez, LAQA & Co., and Rene Furterer. I regularly use and love OPI nail polishes and Dr. Brandt microdermabrasion cream, so it was the best option for me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><u>Rene Furterer LISSEA Leave-In Smoothing Fluid</u></b> smells nice and leaves my hair soft. This fluid works well on tips to protect from heat, also reduces frizz nicely.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><u>OPI Venice Collection My Gondola or Yours? (black)</u></b> was not exactly the shade I was hoping to receive, I'd rather receive the Amore at the Grand Canal (red) shade that was originally listed under my box. I used to use a lot of black and indigo nail polishes during my teens and twenties, but in thirties I tend to go for more classic shades like red or nude. In general, OPI polishes apply evenly and give rich color, but they tend to chip so it's better to use a top coat with them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="text-decoration: underline;">Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion Skin Exfoliant</b> is one of my skincare staples. I was happy to receive this sample size to keep in my travel kit. I like how gentle it is even on sensitive skin, but exfoliates so well. This cream also smells so good and a little goes a long way. I definitely recommend this exfoliator.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u style="font-weight: bold;">St. Tropez Gradual Tan In Shower Lotion</u> is completely new to me. I tried it once but found the application a bit bothersome. It requires applying evenly on wet skin after rinsing the shower gel out and waiting in the shower with no water running for a minimum 3 minutes which gets boring. The time I tried I applied some hair mask at the same time to utilize the waiting time better, but still I can't see myself using this in shower tanner on regular basis. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u style="font-weight: bold;">LAQA & Co. lip & cheek tint crayon</u> is a nice matte lip and cheek tint. It applies evenly and gives out a good amount of color. I found it a bit difficult to blend the color on cheeks, so I mainly use it as a lip color. This color looks natural, it is especially good for gym (yes, I wear colored lip balm or natural lipstick shades at the gym :) ).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

Luckily, I did not receive any foil samples this month. Sizes of my samples were pretty generous, especially the Macadamia hair mist is huge and I love their products :)</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rdohRDB03J8/Va8qtsVKJnI/AAAAAAAABgA/TAVcdPvMcW0/s1600/birchboxjuly15.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rdohRDB03J8/Va8qtsVKJnI/AAAAAAAABgA/TAVcdPvMcW0/s320/birchboxjuly15.PNG" width="208" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><br /><br />I picked the color Venezia for my <b>Stila stay all day lipcolor</b> during the sample choice period last month. This seemed like the least bright color among the three (others were bright pink Bell and bright red Beso). I can't work Barbie pink and I already have so many red lip colors, so having a coral-red warm color is nice. This lip color really does stay all day. I put this on around 3pm on our anniversary before we went out and it stayed on all day through the end of a cheese and chocolate fondue dinner :O I heard others complain about how difficult it is to remove it, but I find it quite easy to remove it using some Vichy Purete Thermale micellar water on a cotton pad.<br /><br /><b>Amika un.done texture spray</b> is my first Amika product, so I am happy to try them. I like their packaging. I didn't expect the spray to make my hair crunchy or mattify it, but this is exactly what it did :/ I like volume on my thin, straight hair but I also like the shine and softness to come with it. Sadly, Amika was a no go for me.<br /><br />I like <b>Macadamia Professional</b> products and this <b>weightless moisture leave-in conditioning mist</b> was also a winner for me. I like the way it smells and feels. Plus the size is so generous, I will be able to use it for long time. It's also TSA friendly, so yay! for a new addition to my travel toiletries.<br /><br />I like <b>Coola</b> products, too. Although I do not use make up setting sprays, this <b>organic makeup setting spray</b> was intriguing because of the SPF in it. I like the idea of having a facial mist with high SPF. Sometimes I forget to put SPF on before powder and blush and it's either "go out without SPF" or "remove and redo", such a hassle, I hate it. I will definitely order the full size of this spray. <br /><br /><b>The Balm</b> has the cutest packaging, but their samples are so tiny. The surface area of this <b>Balm Desert bronzer/blush</b> sample is as big as a dime and I didn't want to bother trying to apply it with a shadow brush. So, this went into the swap pile.<br /><br />For those of you who are not familiar with Birchbox yet: It is a monthly cosmetics&skin care subscription service that costs $10/month (including shipping). They usually send 4-5 deluxe samples (and sometimes regular foil ones :/ ) of usually new and trendy brands.<br />For more information you can check the official page <a href="https://www.birchbox.com/">here</a>.<br /></span><div style="text-align: center;">

<span id="goog_1892104150" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My Bella VoxBox from Influenster was full of goodies! This is my first multiple item VoxBox and I am so happy to get a chance to try each one of them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span id="goog_1892104151">My box included the following items:</span><u style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><u>Sally Hansen - Airbrush Legs:</u></span> This is the first time I tried the medium shade of this cream. I always thought it would be too dark for my skin tone but the result was a nice tan shade. Cream put an instant veil on my legs and the flawless finish did not go away all night long. All in all I am happy with the performance of this product. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><u>Rimmel London - Scandal Eyes Mascara by Kate Moss:</u></b> I like how this mascara creates a full-lengthened look on my lashes. There is no smudging, flaking or clumping. That is more than enough for me to classify a mascara as winner ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><b><u>Rimmel London</u></b><u style="font-weight: bold;"> - Lasting Finish Lipstick by Kate Moss:</u> This semi-matte lipstick glides on so smoothly, is highly pigmented, stays on long even with drinking and eating, and also does not smudge/bleed even without a lip pencil. I love it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><b><u>Not Your Mother's - </u></b><u style="font-weight: bold;">Déjà Vu 'Do Style Extender:</u> This lightweight cream smells delicious. I just apply a small amount on my towel dried hair and style as usual. It really does extend the time my style stays put. I like it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u style="font-weight: bold;">Dove - Whole blueberries chocolate:</u> This box has everything to make a girl happy, including these delicious chocolate goodness! They are basically whole blueberries inside a layer of dark chocolate, double antioxidants from berries and cocoa. Totally healthy and delicious! These are so good, I totally recommend them ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u style="font-weight: bold;">Ecotools - Mattifying finish powder brush:</u> This is my first Ecotools brush and I am totally in love! Hair is so soft and there is no shedding. The brush arm is comfortable to grip and the pattern looks chic. I tried it with both loose and compact powder and it performed perfectly with both. Application is even and there is no falling/residue. I can't wait to try the other brushes by Ecotools.<br /><br />You can find more information on how Influenster works by visiting their website at <a href="http://www.influenster.com/">www.influenster.com</a><br /><br /><u>Disclaimer:</u> This product was given to me by Influenster, free of charge, for testing purposes.</span>curiouskittyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13981790420363727692noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4060169556458038996.post-68167748190961360742014-12-11T10:34:00.001-08:002014-12-11T10:34:40.141-08:00Quick-e drying drops (Essie)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello beauty lovers,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been using this Essie Quick-e drying drops for a few months now and I think it's time to review it. I was a bit skeptical when I purchased this because of all the good and bad reviews online. I wasn't sure if this would work at all, so I wanted to see it for myself.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I usually apply a few coats of nail polish which makes the drying time longer. Also, just a few minutes after I apply my polish I always remember something extremely urgent (!) to take care of, which cannot wait until my nails are dry, so I usually mess up my manicure :) </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I use 2-3 drops on each of my nails right after applying my top coat and stay still for just 5 minutes at the end of which my nails are completely dry. The trick here is to do not touch anything for these 5 minutes after applying the drops, because this is how long the drops take to work their way.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All in all, I think it's a good product that I would recommend.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can find Essie Quick-e drying drops in Essie's online shop under nail care and top-coats category and cosmetics stores (like Sephora) as well as drugstores (like RiteAid) for MSRP $10.00 </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello beauty lovers,</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My November Birchbox is shipped out quite late actually on November 11 and arrived on November 17.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I received the samples of:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0000ee;"><u><br /></u></span>I am quite happy with my November 2014 box. Luckily, I did not receive any foil samples this month. I received one full size hair gloss serum which works great, one mascara sample in black, an effective antioxidant mask that I picked during sample choice, a body cream sample which is so so, and a chocolate sample which is yummy. This box definitely worth the 10 bucks I paid, even the serum alone is $15 and I got $6 back on BB points by filling out sample reviews.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Jouer Matte Moisture Tint</b> is an okay tinted moisturizer. It does not cake during the day and does not create an uneven, streaky look. The coverage is not full, but other than that it is fine.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Chuao Chocolatier Assorted ChocoPod</b> is YUMMY! I love the combination of dark chocolate, honey, and rice-crunch. I also like the tasteful packaging and the shape of the chocolate. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>TONI&GUY Classic Shine Gloss Serum</b> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">is the full size product in pump bottle. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's the first time I tried this product and I like it. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I will probably order the full size when I finish the sample. I can't get over the amazing fact that I got this $15 full size product (and more) by paying just $10 for my Birchbox :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Gilchrist & Soames Spa Therapy Body Lotion</b> looks and feels completely generic. The scent is not so special, packaging reminds me of the cheap hotel toiletry, and it hydrates okay. I will save this sample for the next time I travel, but I don't think I will order the full size product. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Laura Mercier Full Blown Volume Supreme Mascara</b> is good on paper but it made my lashes fall while taking it off and it's never a good sign. I don't know what is wrong with it but I am not going to risk my lashes by trying to figure it out. I did not notice any lengthening or volume-boosting effect when I tried. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Royal Apothic Cuppa Cuppa Firming Tea Treatment Mask </b>is a winner by all means. I love the sample packaging. It smells and feels great. It leaves my face feeling so soft and fresh. One tube is good for 5-6 times maybe, which is a good amount. Although it is a bit pricey, I might actually purchase the full size product when I finish my sample. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For those of you who are not familiar with Birchbox yet: It is a monthly cosmetics&skin care subscription service that costs $10/month (including shipping).

Hello beauty lovers,</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A while ago Influenster sent me a bottle of Vaseline intensive care advanced repair cream for testing purposes. Here is what I received in my Vaseline VoxBox.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh6.ggpht.com/-bxPvRRbTKvk/VFsfxelh1QI/AAAAAAAABcI/weh-1Hjp7tY/s320/20141027_194622.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-bxPvRRbTKvk/VFsfxelh1QI/AAAAAAAABcI/weh-1Hjp7tY/s320/20141027_194622.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There was a 5-day hydration test card in the box to see how this Vaseline cream can hydrate my skin in 5 days. I first performed the "Before" test by following the instructions on the card. My skin test came out "Dry Skin" as expected. Below is the patch test result.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I applied the cream once a day after shower for 5 days in a row. I did not feel the need to reapply during the day since the hydration was enough for the full 24-hours. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At first the cream felt really sticky on my skin for 5-6 hours after the application. But then, I got used to the feeling and it did not bother me that much. I found out that it's best to apply the cream right before sleep, so that this sticky feeling won't be a problem.</div>

Here is how my skin condition is improved after just 5 days. You can see that my skin test came out "Normal skin". </div>

This product retails for $3.99 and you can find it at any drugstore or grocery store (like Walgreens, Shop Rite, CVS, etc.) or online (www.drugstore.com). You can find more information on this product by visiting the official page <a href="http://www.vaseline.us/product/intensive-care/lotions/advanced-repair-fragrance-free-lotion.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

For me, the only downside of this product is that it is formulated with Parabens which are considered to be one of the possible causes of female breast cancer based on the experimental analysis done on various breast cancer tissues. Because of this reason, I did not apply the cream on my underarms and chest area. I felt safer this way since most of the research showed that these areas are where Paraben is absorbed. But this is just what I do. You might feel safe with Paraben and it may not be a concern for you since FDA did not make an official announcement yet.<br /><br />I would be more than happy if Vaseline can reformulate this product using different antibacterials rather than Parabens and be willing to pay more (maybe up to $6.99) for the same amount. I really like how it hydrates my dry skin. I especially need such potent products for the upcoming dry winter months.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello beauty lovers,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In this post, I am reviewing Kiehl's Creme de Corps body moisturizer. This lotion is lightweight yet superbly moisturizing. It is absorbed quickly and makes my skin so soft and smooth. It provides very good amount of moisture to my dry skin even in the cold and dry winter months. It never leaves any sticky/greasy feeling on my skin, which is my favorite feature. This 250 mL bottle will go a long way even it is used everyday since you don't need to use a lot of product to get the desired coverage. This body lotion is also scentless and anti-allergenic, so it's safe for people with sensitivities. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I highly recommend this body lotion to everybody, it will be good for all skin types and for both men and women.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can find </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Kiehl's Creme de Corps</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> body moisturizer</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> in high end retail stores (like Macy's, etc.) and cosmetics stores (like Sephora) as well as www.kiehls.com for MSRP $11.00</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am quite happy with my October 2014 box. Luckily, I did not receive any foil samples this month. I received one hair mist which smells great, one lipstick sample in a nice neutral pinkish shade that I can use everyday, an effective anti-blemish mask, an eye cream sample with 99% natural ingredients, and an eye shadow sample quad. This box definitely worths the 10 bucks I paid.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Beauty Protector Protect & Detangle hair mist sample is a good sized pump bottle. I received it in a mystery pack in August and I loved it, so I was happy to receive it in my October box. It has a beautiful floral-fruity scent which I like very much. It's a bit tricky to get the product out for the first time, you need to keep pumping for 10-15 times until you get some mist out. So, don't quit :) I mist it on my damp hair right after applying my Organix Moroccan Argan oil as usual. I use 4-5 sprays and it makes my hair less frizzy. I do not regularly use heat treatment so I cannot comment on the protection aspect. It is a good product but nothing miraculous. I may order the full size for the sake of its smell after I finish my hair products.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ModelCo Party Proof Lipstick sample is almost full size ('m not sure, maybe it is full size). I received it in the shade "Kitty" which is a beautiful pinkish nude that I can use practically to everywhere (yes, including the gym ;) ). It smells delicious and is easy to apply. It does not cake on my lips or look patchy at all. It feels soft and looks balmy-matte. It is not a long-lasting lipstick hence it requires rather frequent reapplications. I noticed that it goes down a bit faster than my other regular lipsticks, I think this is because of its creamy texture. I may order the full size after I finish my current nude lipsticks.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dr. brandt® pores no more® vacuum cleaner is a 1 oz sample which is a good size. I think this sample will be good for at least 10-15 uses if you apply it to your entire face. I always liked dr. brandt products and use them regularly. Luckily, I haven't tried this specific product, so I was happy to receive a sample. I do not apply it to my entire face as directed, instead I apply on my concern areas (like on my zits, pores on my nose and cheeks, etc.) to save the product. It feels fresh and tingly, it has either eucalyptus or mint in its formula. It works really good to dry new pimples. I will probably order the full size when I finish the sample. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Balance Me Wonder Eye Cream is also a 1 oz sample which is again a good size. For me the highlight of this product is that it has 99% natural ingredients. It was supposed to brighten my under eyes circles but I did not see such effect on the few times I used it. Maybe it requires a longer period of use before seeing any effects, I don't know. The scent was nice and the application was easy. I may not purchase the full size of this product since I did not see any immediate effects.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Coastal Scents® Revealed 2 Palette Set sample is a quad with earth tones (2 matte and 2 shimmer). I like the shimmer ones, but cannot say the same thing for the dark brown matte. In general, it is really difficult to blend these shadows and this patchy look was more visible with the dark brown. I couldn't get the ombre look which I usually do with 2-3 tones of beige/brown. I will definitely not purchase the full size of this product, but I am glad I received this sample before investing $34.00 into the actual palette.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For those of you who are not familiar with Birchbox yet: It is a monthly cosmetics&skin care subscription service that costs $10/month (including shipping). They usually send 4-5 deluxe samples (and sometimes regular foil ones :/ ) of usually new and trendy brands.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello beauty lovers,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In this post, I am reviewing Vichy's Pureté Thermale soothing cleansing milk. This facial cleansing is super gentle and does not cause any irritation or breakouts on skin. Small amount of milk applied on a cotton pad will be enough to gently wipe off the facial make-up. It can easily take waterproof mascara and eyeliner off without making eyelashes fall. It leaves my skin so soft and moisturizes in a way. This 200 ml bottle will go a long way even it is used everyday. One important feature of this product is that it is PARABEN FREE ;) And also, like other Vichy products, it is allergy-tested and suitable for sensitive skin. It has a pleasant creamy scent which feels very natural.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I highly recommend this cleansing milk to everybody, especially with dry-sensitive skin. People with oily skin can also use this product very comfortably during cold and dry winter nights.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After being disappointed by my last two boxes (July and August 2014), my September box came like a breeze. I love almost all of the items in my box and I am very happy to receive such a fantastic ensemble. I selected the Shiseido Ultimune serum which came in a very good size for a sample. The shampoo-conditioner samples were foil (single use) but they put two foil per item so the total shampoo-conditioner set is good for two uses. The lip balm is full size. Tocca hand cream sample size is very good too. Prince Harvey shower gel sample was also in a tube of 15 mL which is okay. I still don't know why do I still receive shampoo-conditioner samples although I especially told in my profile that I do not want to receive any hair products. But that's okay this month since the Shiseido, Tocca, and Pixi items made me very happy. This box definitely worth the 10 bucks I paid and a bit more :)</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Atelier Cologne Vanille Insensée Cologne Absolue</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> sample was a small tube (the regular perfume sample container), like all other samples of the brand this one also came with a sleek postcard. I do not like to receive fragrance samples since I am very conservative with my perfumes and I wouldn't change them frequently or based on a sample. I put this in my profile, but I guess they have to send some from time to time which is okay as long as I receive them less than 4-5 times a year. The scent was not my style. The vanilla tone is not over-powering (so, you don't have to worry about smelling like a cupcake :) ) but something makes it strong in a way that is not appealing to me. When I tired on the back of my hand it stayed for a long time, I guess the effect will be stronger when applied on pulse points.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Tocca Crema da Mano Luxe is a very good hand cream. The one I received is Bianca and it has green tea - lemon scent. Small amount of product is enough for both hands. It does not feel greasy at all, so I was able to open a bottle right after putting it on ;) The sample size is very generous and the packaging is stylish. It immediately became my new purse staple hand cream.</span></span></div>

It has a very fresh, fruity scent that I like a lot. It did not lather well and dried my skin a little bit. Maybe it is better on normal-to-oily skin types but it didn't agree with my dry skin.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I selected Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate in late August. I tried a foil sample of it a while ago and liked it a lot. I thought it would be nice to receive it in a bigger sample. The 1.5 mL foil was good for 3 days (am and pm). I'm sure this 10 mL sample bottle I received will be good for a month. I liked all of the Shiseido products I used/sampled so far and this serum was not an exception to the rule. Shiseido always make high-quality products. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Pixi by Petra Breath of Fresh Air Lip Balm came in Honey Nectar which is a nice, neutral shade that I like a lot. The sample is actually a 4 grams full size product. I like how it glides on smoothly and does not leave any marks or lines on my lips. I usually have dry lips and this balm hydrates them well. I like how it smells too. If you remember from my last Birchbox post, I am very sensitive to scents of lip products. Luckily, this lip balm has a faint fruity-floral scent which is very pleasant. The only negative thing I noticed is that the hydration fades quickly, so I have to reapply it frequently even if I don't eat or drink. Other than that it's great. It immediately became my second new purse staple after the Tocca hand cream. </span></span></span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In this post, I am reviewing Kérastase's Elixir Ultime Oléo Complexe hair oil. This dry oil is very lightweight and does not leave hair greasy or weigh it down. It is absorbed quickly and makes my hair so soft and shiny. It provides very good amount of split end protection and tames the wild winter frizz. Small amount on your fingertips will be enough for the ends and roots. This 125 mL bottle will go a long way even it is used everyday. This hair oil also provides moderate heat protection and enriches hair. The scent is also pleasant.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I highly recommend this hair oil to everybody, it will be good for all hair types except for very oily hair and for both men and women.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In this post, I am reviewing Lancome's Bienfait UV 50+ super fluid facial sunscreen with SPF 50+. This liquid is very lightweight and not greasy at all. It is absorbed quickly and afterwards I don't even notice it's on. It provides very good amount of protection from UVA and UVB rays. This 50 mL bottle will go a long way even it is used several times a day on the entire face and neck area. Since this is not a moisturizer it should be worn over your daily moisturizer. You can apply your powder on top of the sunscreen. I never have any residue when I use this product. Another nice thing about this product is that it's almost scentless, which is not very common for sunscreens.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I highly recommend this sunscreen fluid to everybody, it will be good for all skin types and for both men and women.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In this post, I am reviewing Lancome's Exfoliance Confort comforting exfoliating cream. This cleanser is very lightweight and gentle on skin. It has creamy texture with micro-spheres which gently exfoliate dry skin while cleansing. It is easy to smooth this product on the face and a little massage is more than enough to exfoliate. It cleans very well and does not leave my skin feeling tight or dry which is very important for me. Small amount of this product on your finger tips will be enough for the entire face area. I have been using this cleanser with the Exfoliance Confort toner and they are the perfect duo. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I highly recommend this cleanser to people with dry or sensitive skin. It works flawlessly alone but if you pair it with the toner it's even better.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello beauty lovers,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In this post, I am reviewing Lancome's Bienfait Multi-vital sunscreen lotion broad spectrum SPF 30. This moisturizer is very lightweight and non-greasy. It hydrates my skin all day long while providing a very good amount of protection from UVA and UVB rays. It is enriched with vitamins and antioxidants, which is always a good thing ;) Small amount of this product on your finger tips will be enough for the entire face and neck area. This product moisturizes my dry skin very well. I never have flaking or dry patches when I use this product. It also has a nice, light scent that I like.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I highly recommend this sunscreen lotion to everybody, it will be good for all skin types and for both men and women.</span></div>
