My First Birchbox: October 2011...

Last month I subscribed to Birchbox, which is a month makeup sample subscription thingy that sends you four to five high end beauty product samples every month for the low low price of $10 per month -- Yeah, I know that was stated oddly... Here is the explanation of what Birchbox is from the website in case you didn't understand my description.

What Is Birchbox?
Birchbox delivers the best products and the best insider secrets, without any fuss. Every month Birchbox members will receive a curated box of luxe beauty samples. Each box will span beauty categories and deliver exciting products that fit into both your day-to-day routine, and into those days when you want to turn up the drama a notch.

Each month, you'll receive a selection of 4-5 samples that we’ve tried (and retried) ourselves. You'll receive anything from skincare to makeup to cult beauty tools, from well-known brands as well as emerging gems [for $10.00 a month].

So, the whole point of this is that my first box came in the mail yesterday and I was super excited to see what I got. Drum roll...

• Befine Lip Exfoliator • Caudalie Vinoperfect Cell Renewal Night Cream •
• Laura Geller Spackle Tinted Under Makeup Primer in Bronze •
• Orofluido Beauty Elixir • Oribe Shampoo & Conditioner for Beautiful Color •

I would like to note that the same things aren't in every box, I know that Lenni got hers two days before I got mine and she got totally different items -- Here is a link to her October 2011 Birchbox, which was also her first box. Apparently there is a number somewhere on the package stating the number box.

Wednesday Wishlist...

Even though I haven't posted a Wednesday Wishlist in a while I must say I've been pinning things on Pinterest* to post here and here are some of the newest things I love...

They are just number rings but I think they are awesome.

If I had my own iPad I'd totally get myself one of these.
Unfortunately my mom wouldn't think it was as neat
as I think it is. She'd think it was lame knowing her.

This coat is just too pretty.

I swear I would never use my NYC Subway apps
again if I had this on my wrist. I love it!!!

If you read my other blog you know that I am
obsessed with old Volkswagen Beetles and this
one is just extra awesome because it is pink
and it is a convertible. This is my dream car.
