In the Sun

I tried something new the other day! It's called Birchbox.com. I came across this site via Gilt.com, another fantastic website I use to find great deals on designer items and adventures for discounted prices. Gilt featured Birchbox, a fun new company that takes beauty products seriously.

The neat thing about Birchbox is that you can sign up for a subscription and receive handpicked samples of different beauty products.

All the products are tested and approved by the experts behind the business, and they also sell the original size (non samples) at their online store!

I love the idea of it, as it allows women to discover great new products!

Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to try their samples service, but Gilt.com did give me a great deal at their store, $25 for $50 worth of products. There I discovered Blinc Liquid Eyeliner and Anastasia Brow Duality Highlighter!

My order shipped very quickly, even at standard shipping! I ordered it Thursday and received my box on Saturday!

I got this in Shell & Lace! The brow highlighter is amazing. It comes with both a matte point and shimmery point. It truly accentuates the brow bone. 

I really like Blinc eyeliner as well. It goes on smoothly and the brush is very fine application is easy. It's also cleverly placed off center, so the brush won't hit your lashes. What's also great about this product is the fact that it doesn't smudge. Instead, it will slide off clean with warm water and pressure. It's long lasting, but easy to remove.

Thanks to Birchbox, I've found two great new products!
