Hello everyone! Today I have a Birchbox review for you! I'm a little late with posting this review, thanks to school projects being due at the same time, so I hope you don't mind! I'm going to have more reviews coming this week and next week!

What is it: Birchbox is a monthly subscription box that delivers 4-6 beauty samples to your door every month. There is a women's and men's box available. You also get points in their rewards program for reviewing items that you got in your box .

Cost and shipping: $10 a month for those of you who live in America. There is also Birchbox France, UK, and Spain for those of you who live in those areas.

This month I opted in for the collaboration box that they had with Fashionista. (mainly because I seen what was inside of it and liked what I saw.) 

This is what was inside my box:

Laura Mercier Full Blown Volume Supreme Mascara (.2 oz- $14.25): I've been wanting to try more Laura Mercier products (I have a foundation currently and I love it) and I love getting mascara samples! Mascaras are my favorite samples because I don't like sticking to the same kind day in and day out. I really like this mascara! It goes on nicely and doesn't leave any clumps. It also doesn't flake throughout the day, which is awesome! I'm definitely going to invest in the full size of this when I have the money!

Cynthia Rowley Beauty Silver Eyeliner (.03 oz- $12.00): I've been wanting to get a silver eyeliner for quite a while now, so this is a great thing for me! I absolutely love it! I've been wearing this almost every day since getting my box! I just wish it were bigger and lasted longer than it does. This is definitely another product that I'll buy the full size of when I have the money!

dr. brandt pores no more vacuum cleaner (.25 oz- $11.00): I love trying new skin care products, however I haven't tried this one out yet. I like how it came with a seal on it so the product didn't get all over the inside of the cap! Also, it smells pretty good and I've heard great things about it, so maybe I'll give it a shot tonight!

Naobay Body Radiance Lotion (1.01 oz- $2.85): This product is kind of an eh to me. I don't use lotion that much and if I do, it's always my Bath and Body Works one. It smells good and isn't greasy, however I'd rather stick to my Bath and Body Works.

Macadamia Professional Flawless Cleansing Conditioner (3 oz- $12.38): I've been getting more into hair care since I cut my hair. I want to keep my hair healthier than it was before and I want to try and help speed up the growing process. (I miss my long hair) I've heard a lot of good things about Macadamia Oil, so I'm super excited to use this! Oh, and this is also the biggest sample I've ever gotten from any subscription, especially Birchbox, so I'm quite impressed!

The total I came up with for this box is about $52.48! I'm quite impressed with the value of this box since I only payed ten dollars for it! I loved pretty much everything in this box and I'm super excited to try the things I have not tried out yet. I'll definitely get more of these boxes in the future, especially since it seems like birchbox has been stepping up their game recently!
What do you guys think about this box, or any of the boxes recently?
I hope you all enjoyed!

Life's Snapshots- Instagram #2

Guys, I did the one thing I said I'd never do... I cut my hair off! I miss my hair so much, but I don't think it looks horrible. So that's a plus!

I love this photo so much. I wish it didn't come out blurry!

This dog acted like a tough guy, but really he was the sweetest thing ever. I wanted to steal him.

First week back at school. Don't ask me what I'm doing with my arm.

My boyfriend and I loved these birds, they reminded us of us.

                                 

A throwback photo to earlier in the summer.

        

                                       

                                       

My boyfriend and I at this event our school has called the black squirrel festival.

                                       

I like taking photos of flowers. I think I may have a problem. Hah.

I got my nose pierced you guys! I was thinking about doing it for a while, but didn't have the guts to go downtown on my own. My boyfriend went with me last week and he even got his ears pierced! 

      

I love annoying my boyfriend while he is trying to do homework.

                                       

         

Last Wednesday was our one year anniversary! I woke up to these beside the bed. I have the best boyfriend you guys.  Best day of the week for sure!

Throwback Wednesday photo with a really long, mushy gushy caption that I won't bother you guys with. Haha.

                          

We went to the Cheesecake Factory for our anniversary dinner! I've never been there before, but I've been wanting to go for a while now. He remembered that I said that and took me! It was SO.GOOD.! I highly recommend going if you haven't been there before!

                          

Then last Thursday there were Therapy Dogs at my friend's dorm, so I made him go with me to see them. I love dogs so much and this was the second best day of the week.

Well, that's all the photos I have for now. I hope you guys enjoyed seeing some photos from the past six weeks of my life!

Autumn Tag 2014

Hello everyone! Today I have an Autumn Tag for you all! (made by Georgina) I absolutely love Autumn and since it's September now, I figured why not do an Autumn Tag? I hope you all enjoy and give it a go too!

1.  Ok we're talking coffee's - what's your favourite seasonal drink from Starbucks/Costa/Cafe Nero etc?

I don't really get seasonal drinks at Starbucks all that often. I have tried their pumpkin spiced latte before, but I wouldn't say it's my favorite. I always get a double chocolate chip frappuccino or a mocha cookie crumble frappuccino.

2.  Accessories - what do you opt for, scarf, boots, gloves?

I LOVE boots. I wear them as soon as it starts getting colder out (like today-i finally got to wear my boots!) and I'll wear them until it starts getting hot out again. I also like scarves, but definitely not as much as boots!

3.  Music - what's your favourite music to listen to during Autumn?

I don't really have a favorite type of music specifically for Autumn. I listen to the same stuff I always do. Except for Halloween, then I'll listen to Halloween music.

4.  Perfume - what's your favourite scent for this time of year?

I love wearing the same perfume all the time (I don't like to change it up TOO much) and right now it's Victoria Secret's Midnight Exotics in the scent Sensual Jasmine. However, it is more Summer-y smelling, so I may change it to Forever Red by Bath and Body Works, or Twilight woods by Bath and Body Works. Not sure yet!

5.  Candles - what scents will you be burning this season?

My favorite candle scents are definitely Autumn-y scents, like apples and pumpkins!

6.  What do you love most about Autumn?

I LOVE the weather! It's not too cold, but not too hot either. Which means boots and all the cute fall clothing! 

It's the perfect temperature for me!

I also love going on hay rides and going to pumpkin patches and getting a pumpkin that I can carve!

Speaking of carving pumpkins, I love Halloween and all the spookiness that comes with it!

Oh! And my birthday is in November!

I think that's all I love about Autumn,

7.  Favourite makeup look?

I don't change up my makeup look during Autumn. I always do the same thing- foundation, powder, eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara and maybe a dark red/purple-y lip stick when I'm in the mood.

8.  What are you looking forward to most in Autumn?

Strangely, I'm really looking forward to my birthday this year! I have no idea why, I never do anything for it and I always get my presents early, but I'm super excited for it this year!

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

Things About Fall That I'm Looking Forward To

Hello everyone! Today I have a post that I decided to do from Gracie's aka Girl Meets Life September Blogging Challenge.  She has a lot of great post ideas, so you'll see me doing some of them throughout this month! So, onto the things I'm most looking forward to about fall! I hope you all enjoy!

1. Sweaters- They are cute, soft, warm, and comfortable. And you can make really cute outfits with them as well!

2. Boots- I only wear sandals and boots throughout the whole entire year. Sandals in the summer, boots in the fall. So needless to say I'm ready to start wearing my boots again.

3. Halloween- I love everything about Halloween. Dressing up, decorating, seeing all the creepy decorations and haunted houses and all that fun stuff. I can't wait to see what my boyfriend and I decide to dress up as this year! I'm pretty sure Halloween is my favorite Holiday!

4. Pumpkin, Apple, and Cinnamon flavored/scented things- Pumpkin Pie, Apple Pie, Pumpkin Spice Lattes, Pumpkin/apple/cinnamon candles, etc. I LOVE ALL OF IT! 

5. Pumpkin Carving- Simple as that, I love carving out pumpkins. Even if they don't look that great!

Birthday Selfies For Days!

6. My Birthday!- My Birthday is in November and even though I never really do anything that exciting and I always get my presents early (I don't like surprises and I'm not patient), I'm always super excited about it! And this year I'm turning the big 20. Woot!

What are you guys most looking forward to about fall? 

I hope you all have a great weekend! 

Ciao,
