Borghese - B Gloss Lip Gloss


Hello !

I'm in the search for the perfect lip gloss! I got the Borghese B Lip Gloss in Fiore, I like to try different colors to see which are the best ones for my skin tone and use for every occasion.

This is what I experienced:
The color is a pretty pink rose, it adds a medium amount of shimmer, I really like that is not as sticky as many lip glosses are, it looks great on its own, but  I like to use it over lipstick to add more color !
The formula is thick, you can feel it when you rub your lips and it lasts a long time! I really really like the smell, it's kind of vanilla and almond.

The main before/after difference is that my lips feel moisturized and I love that the gloss contains Avocado oil, Jojoba oil and Aloe!

BIRCHBOX - February 2013 Review


Hello everyone !

As a sampler addict I always try to see what are the new products out there and getting a box full of samples it's a big joy for me, maybe it's the fact that you don't know what's inside that makes it so exiting!

I'm subscribed to Birchbox, it's a service that delivers a box of deluxe samples to your home every month. To ensure you get samples that you like, each box is customized to the beauty profile you fill in their webpage, the box usually comes with 4 or 5 samples and sometimes it may even come a full-sized product! It includes tips and tutorials. The cost is $10 per month, which is a really good price for the variety of products that you get!

In a future post I'll talk about other Sampling Services!

Birchbox has a great points program, for every 100 points, you earn $10 in Birchbox credits which you can use to buy other products! If you complete surveys you get 10 points and if you refer a friend you get 50 points!

This month was the Red Carpet Ready, with all the awards and events they put together “an assortment of products worthy of the red carpet”.



The samples I've got this month are:

Color Club - Nail Polish in Mamba - Full-size $8
