.: Non-stop beauty in the mail!

The past day has been a blast for someone who loves make up and beauty products. I have received my Stila order and my Birchbox in the same 24 hours. It's been AWESOME! Let me share with you what I have opened and tested since I have gotten all of these beauty goodies.

STILA

I bought a foundation and a tinted moisturizer.

Bronzing tinted moisturizer in SPF 15.

This is a product I am very excited for. I love wearing bronzer, but sometimes I think I over due it. I like the idea that I can put this on a receive a little color before I even apply my foundation. I also love the idea that I can just wear this without any other make-up and it will still give me a nice healthy glow.

Here is how it looks:

( Before rubbed in )

Once its been rubbed in, it adds a hint of color with a tid bit of shimmer. I haven't used this directly on my face yet, and I hope this shimmer isn't too overwhelming. It doesn't seem as if it would be.

One Step Make Up in medium.

I am a fanatic about finding a great foundation that doesn't give you that makeup line look. This can easily happen if you don't get the right color, which is very easy to do. This makeup color however was PERFECT! It blended in with my skin tone to a tee.

I was a little worried at first when I saw how light the color was when I first applied, but once I started blending, it quickly disappeared to a perfect hue of my skin tone.

I'm very impressed and satisfied with my Stila purchases, I will be back to the website soon to order more products.

BIRCHBOX

I have never been SO thrilled in my life to receive anything in the mail as I was this. I looked in my mailbox everyday for the past week waiting for my little box of surprises to come and I was very excited to get what I did....

What's fun is they give you a little note card of everything they have sent you with how to use it and how much it is if you choose to buy the actual size.

Tinted Bronzing Primer.

This is what I am most excited for. As I have told you previously, I LOVE myself some bronzing skin color and I can't tell you enough how much I love primer. Primer is what you put on after your moisturizer but before your foundation. Its a magical product I tell you. It will make your face look flawless. If you have big pores as I do and some acne marks this is a MUST. Now, I don't use it everyday even though I should, but when I do I am thoroughly impressed. It fills in any lines and enlarged pores you have and covers acne marks superbly!

I'm not going to lie, the amount of sparkle does make me a little nervous, but a small amount of sheen helps with the appearance of imperfections on your face, so I think this will be a great addition to my make up collection.

I also got:

Befine Lip Exfoliator

Caudalie Vinoperfect Night Correction Cream

Oribe Shampoo and Conditioner for Color Treated Hair

Orofluido Beauty Elixir - Hair Treatment

I'm so excited to use all of my new products. What I love about Birchbox is that the samples are large enough that you can use them a few times to see if you like them. Sometimes you can get samples that are only good for one use and you can't tell if it would be something that you would use in the future. So this is more fun and more useful.

If you aren't signed up with Birchbox already, get on it. You're first box will be the November sample box. I can't wait to see what I will be treated to then!!!

DRESS DOWN DAY

I just wanted to add this little snippet about my lazy day outfit yesterday. I think that you can still look cute and put together in a very simple, very low key outfit. To my surprise I had so many people compliment me on my vest yesterday? To me, it's so plain and nothing special but to others it really made people think my outfit was cute - who knew?
