My Birchbox: July '13

Happy Friday Pretties!!!

Thank goodness it's Friday and there will be sleeping in tomorrow right? Who's with me? Yeee Haaa!!! (obviously can't contain my excitement) Today's post is to show what I got in my July Birchbox! I haven't tried everything yet, but I will check back in when I do to tell you what I thought of everything. I thought these might be a neat way to share what everyone got since a few people I know got a variety of things that I didn't - Enjoy your weekend!

I'm really excited to try the Balm blush and see it's wearing power and the Birchbox bobbie pins are adorable!!! What did you get in your Birchbox? Do you subscribe do any other sample subscriptions? What did you think about them? hugs and weekend giddy,

My New Summer Favorite: Supergoop CC Cream

Hello Pretties!

Today I want to share my new favorite beauty product for summer! I got the sample of Supergoop SPF CC cream in my March Birchbox and have squeezed the tube dry since. I seriously love this stuff - it's so surprisingly light on the skin and feels like you're wearing nothing yet still gives a pretty decent coverage. Plus is has excellent 35 SPF protection and of course the CC cream benefits, what more could you ask for!

I love this product because I like a little more coverage than most tinted moisturizers give me (plus I never really fell in love with any tinted moisturizers because they always have made my skin oily) because I do have spots and various blemishes I like to cover. I've even started using this as my foundation with my MAC mineralized skin finish on top of it. I also have to say that as far as the CC cream benefits go, I can honestly say that I have seen fading in my acne scars and other discoloration on my face.

I do plan to purchase the full size product now that I have squeezed every last drop out of this poor little guy. This is has definitely been my everyday go to and favorite product of April and May.
