Color Club - Factory Girl Nail Polish Review

One of the things in my BirchBox this month was this lovely nail polish, which is from the Summer Pastels Collection and only $8! Now I'm not very good at putting on nail polish, it's really sad actually. So i have been using the Sally Hanson nail things, I really love all the designs on those but I get kind of OCD and stressed with putting them on.

I was a little excited about this polish though, I normally stick with pinks and such for my nail color so I was happy I had an excuse to try a new color. It was easy to put on and dried pretty fast, I was supposed to put on a second coat which would have made it look a lot nicer, but I was in a bit of a hurry so I only did one. I think it still turned out nice =]

After putting it on I decided I love the color! It's a nice pastel blue and just looks like summer! I felt like I just needed to go to the beach or at least the pool while wearing it! Hopefully I'll be able to try out the rest of these lovely pastels!

Lip/Cheek Stain Review

In my June Birchbox I received a theBalm cosmetics Stainiac $17, which is just a lip and cheek stain. NOw at first I was slightly confused, I don't know too much about make up to begin with, but I just thought "lips and cheeks huh?" Lucky for me there is a tutorial on how to put it on right on the Birchbox site! So I just smiled, put three dots on the apple of my cheeks, blended it in, then rubbed it on my lips. For being someone who is not used to make up I really enjoyed the simplicity of it, though I did think it was a bit dark for me (that may just be because I'm not very used to color!), I received the Beauty Queen color, I still really enjoyed the product and plan on wearing it some more!

BirchBox

I don't know how many of you have heard about Birch Box but I absolutely love it! I got a 3 month subscription to it for my birthday and it's wonderful! So far I have only gotten one box, but still. So I guess I should explain what it is. Birch Box is a site that sells beauty products and just fun things, when you sign up for the boxes they will send you 5 samples that are hand picked for you based on a profile that you fill out.
Now I am absolutely terrible with make up and stuff, I have no idea what works or looks good or anything. So for just $10 a month a get samples! It's really wonderful. For this month in my box I got a lip and check stain, some perfume, a bar of all natural soap, a face mask, and glamour band aids. After I try out each one I will post a short review on them!
