Too many moms let themselves go (i.e. stop showering, putting on makeup, getting dressed...) I promised myself I would never let that happen!
Hey pretty ladies! (And gents!)
My May Birchbox is here! This months theme is “Beauty Diaries”.
Birchbox is $10 a month for 4-5 deluxe samples. You can sign up here http://www.birchbox.com/?raf=ecm49
If you’ve been receiving Birchbox, don’t forget to leave feedback on the website! Feedback = points and points = free money to spend in the shop! Be sure to let me know what came inside your box!
Product inside my May box:
Beauty Protector ✏ Protect & Detangle
COOLA ✏ Classic Face SPF 30 Cucumber Moisturizer for Face
Joie ✏ Folle de Joie eau de parfum
Sumita ✏ Color Contrast Eyeliner
BONUS: Pilot ✏ Acroball Pure White Hybrid Ink Pen
Avoid ending up on one of Glamour’s cringe-worthy Don’t Lists with these dry shampoo guidelines.
Much like vivid red lipstick or potent perfume, dry shampoo can totally backfire if used incorrectly. You know what we mean: sticky, greasy-looking locks and lackluster volume. It takes practice, but once you’ve harnessed the product’s awesome revitalizing powers, it’s a game-changer. Impromptu cocktail hours? Bring ‘em on. Spin class-deflated locks? Fear not. With Serge Normant’s Meta Revive Dry Shampoo as our prime test subject, we’ve put together a compendium of dry shampoo do’s and don’ts.
Dry Shampoo Do’s
1. Do: Rotate different formulas. Stocking an arsenal of varying products, from aerosol sprays to loose powders, will help you tackle every hair gripe. We love to attack our AM bedhead with Batiste’s super powdery dry shampoo and boost volume with Serge Normant’s thick, texturizing spray right before hitting happy hour. P.S. According to office lore, cofounder Katia uses a different dry shampoo every day to score her signature, bouncy locks.
Great tips!
Staffers’ (and Members) Best Beauty Tips: Birchbox Intern Diaries
In an office filled with beauty lovers, it’s only natural that many of our staffers have some secret beauty tips hidden up their sleeves. Last week we asked three Birchbox staffers what their all-time favorite hair, makeup, or skincare tip is and where they discovered it. Watch to learn all about their favorite tips.
Since we know our members are also super savvy, we asked our YouTube viewers to share their favorite tips as well. Here’s a few of our favorites from the video comments:
littlewomanlynn: “My fave beauty tip is to use rose water to clean your face.”
chicachew: “My tip is to keep a rose salve handy. It’s perfect for moisturizing cuticles or rough patches, taming flyways and giving a dewy gloss to cheeks!”
TheBeautyBox1211: “Swatching lipstick on your fingertips rather than your hand because the texture is more similar to your lips!”
belinda z: “For a DIY matte top coat, just mix cornstarch with an inexpensive clear polish.”
Tell us in the comments what your favorite beauty tip is too!
