Korres Guava Little Showergel Review

I got this Korres Guava Little Showergel in my Birchbox and decided to give it a try. This showergel is supposed to help maintain the natural moisture levels in your skin due to emollients and humectants in the formula. It is paraben-free & contains no phtalates, petrochemicals, or synthetic fragrances for those of you who look out for that. It's about 20 bucks for 13.5 ounces at Sephora.

I have used this showergel a LOT and I have to say, it makes my skin verrrry soft. I have the tendency to shower in the morning and not have enough time to lotion my whole body, and I notice that I don't end up being extremely dry and ashy like I would normally.

Personally, $20 is a bit much for showergel, so I'm not sure that this would be the first thing I'd reach for. But since it came in my birchbox I am not complaining about using it. Maybe if I build up enough Birchbox credits I'll use them on this because it really does seem to work!

If you don't mind spending a little extra to get a better quality body wash, then I would definitely recommend this product! It smells great, too!! Let me know if you guys give it a whirl!

Weleda Wild Rose Smoothing Facial Lotion Review

So this came in one of my Birchboxes one month and I was out of moisturizer and didn't feel like running to CVS. I decided to just use this and run to the store in the morning. I have to say, this was not as good as my drugstore, knock-off facial moisturizer.

This is definitely a facial LOTION and not to be mistaken for a liquid facial moisturizer. It has a VERY thick consistency, almost to the point that I couldn't spread it across my face without feeling like I was pulling my skin. Not only was it EXTREMELY thick, it didn't moisturize very well. I woke up the next morning with dry patches on my face from where this product couldn't make up for where my Differin gel was applied. I'm sure it would work on normal skin, but I need something that won't be completely outdone by my drying differin gel. For me, personally, this product is a no-go! I will be sticking to my CVS brand facial moisturizer!

Just wanted to give you guys an update on my Birchbox products I've tried out!

Jewelmint!!! My latest addiction!

This, ladies and gents, is a beautiful creation called The Bullet Necklace from Jewelmint! And I got it for HALF OFF!!! Honeyyyy... just keep reading if you like what you see! (and for a discount code) ^_^

If you haven't heard of jewelmint it is a monthly subscription service of $29.99 that Cher Coulter & Kate Bosworth started. The pieces that are available are sooooo gorgeous, solid, and expensive-looking!

There's always free shipping and if for some reason you don't see styles you like or you just can't afford it that month.... you can SKIP a month, no questions asked!!! Gurrrrrl, just put a reminder in your phone if you know the next month may be a little tight! Haha

What you do is take a style quiz and it puts together a showroom for you. This was in my showroom and I HAD to buy it! The good thing is that there's a 50% off code for your first purchase. Just put MAV5 in the coupon box and you'll pay just shy of $15 for your first piece!

Each piece comes with a description and a gorgeous jewelry box, too. I discuss it more in detail here, but I just had to give my blog followers a chance to find out about it just in case you don't keep up with my YouTube videos.

That is the box it comes in and this picture does it no justice! The quality of this service is insane... so, go SIGN UP... and let me know if we have the same style or if you found something better you think I might like!!! :-)
