What I have been doing with Vitamin E!

Soooo the weather outside is frightful... lol ok but forreal, it's freakin cold outside. I always wear waterproof mascara and started noticing that the mix of using waterproof mascara and the cold weather was severely drying out my eyelashes and making some of them fall out. Yes...I was looking like a bald eagle. So, I ran across a solid Vitamin E stick at the organic health store..I started putting it on my eyelashes and my eyebrows at night. It's been about two weeks and my eyelashes already started growing back and my eyebrows are also looking fuller. I even had to start trimming my eyebrows back a little. My eyelashes are also longer than normal. I am seriously pleased with the results and the stick makes it easier to apply without getting anything on your fingers. I love it! So if your looking for a natural alternative to eyelash conditioning or hair growth you should try out a solid Vitamin E stick!

So I received my December 2011 Birchbox! I always get excited every month waiting on this package of goodies to come in! As I have mentioned before, Birchbox is a $10 dollar monthly subscription, just like a magazine subscription but instead of a magazine you get beauty samples to try. You can cancel at any time with no additional charges. This month I received the following items:
1. The Porefessional by Benefit Cosmetics- this camouflages pores as a velvety primer.  ( I actually really like this and noticed this product was one of Sephora's top picks for weddings...major points! It also did a great job camouflaging my pores! )
2. Jouer Lip Gloss in Birchbox Pink -This turned out to be a pretty pink color, it complimented my tan skin nicely and wasn't sticky at all. It's very smooth on the lips. Love it!
3. Kate Spade New York-Scent: Twirl ( I already received this perfume sample in one of my last Birchbox's so I was a little disappointed in receiving this scent again. It's not one of my favorites. It smells pretty strong and floraly if that makes sense. I'm more of a fruity kinda girl.
4. Nuxe Multi-usage dry oil shimmer This was pretty! It has a light scent, and leaves a pretty sheen on the skin. The instructions say you can apply this to the face,body or hair. I don't think I would apply this to the face..but it looks nice on the skin. I love anything glittery!!

*Bonus Samples*

1. Prep Showstoppers- Designer fashion tape-its double sided tape that keeps your dress or low cut shirt in place. Haven't tried this. I will be using it for New Years tho!
2. Recharge Eboost- Orange Natural Energy Booster. This is packed with vitamins,minerals and nutrients. It only has 5 calories so that's a big plus! I have been fighting a cold so I'll be trying this soon :)

Influenster

Soooo I just found out about Influenster. It's a website that is free to join and depending on how many badges you unlock, they may send you free samples of beauty products to try out. The badges represent your personality/lifestyle. For instance they have one called "Dog Lover" and you basically just click on the badge and a small survey pops up. You answer questions about yourself regarding that topic and depending on if you meet the requirements, then they will unlock that badge for you. You try to collect as many as you can that represent yourself and your lifestyle. They just sent me an email saying they will be sending me a box of samples to try out! I'm so excited I screamed a little with my mouth closed which made a horrible scary sound and woke up my boyfriend. I guess I was trying to silently scream which I now know is impossible. Neways...I will be posting soon on my the new products I receive with my reviews..yay! Here is the website if you want to sign up with Influenster.. Its free so why not?! Influenster
