Recent Loves Worth Sharing!!

I am a girly girl...always have been, always will be!  I love anything that has to do with beauty products, jewelry, cute clothes....you get the idea.  So when I come across cutesy stores, monthly beauty subscriptions, and good deals...I'm kind of a sucker!!  #nowillpower

I want to share a couple of amazingly AWESOME products/stores that have made their way into my heart!!

The first one is Birchbox!!  You know when you go to your favorite beauty store and they hook you up with samples of the latest and greatest beauty products?!?!  Well, imagine getting your own personalized box of samples (sometimes even deluxe samples) delivered to your door every month for only 10 bucks!!  It's the little pink box that puts a smile on my face every time I see it in my mailbox!  Or, if my husband finds it first, it puts a look of confusion on his face because he just doesn't understand!!  Men!!

Go check it out here and sign up!!

Next up is my most recent find....Julep Maven.  I heart nail polish.  As if you didn't already know that by this post!  I can't believe I had never heard of this brand until just recently!!  Oh, the things you learn in blog land :)  Similar to Birchbox, this is a monthly subscription.  I just got my first box a couple days ago and I have to say this may be the best nail polish I've ever used.  Seriously...it went on without getting all goopy or bubbly and the color is true to how it looks in the bottle.  We all know we've bought a nail polish only to get home and it's way too light or way too dark.  

In my first box, I got 2 colors - Sasha and Toni - and I also got a Pedi Creme and a cute little bag.

I decided to use Sasha this week and I love this color!!


Want to try it out??  (and you should)  Click here!

I have also recently found BaubleBar and Box of Pretties!!  BaubleBar is an online store jam packed with CUTE CUTE jewelry!!  It's VERY reasonably priced AND you get $10 just for signing up!!  So you could get a pair of earrings for around $12!!  Did I mention it was cute??  Box of Pretties is an online auction type store that has clothing and accessories.  I'm pretty much in love with everything they have!  They are having a giveaway right now for a necklace that I need....yes, I need it!  So....I'm asking so every nicely, and maybe even begging a little, to go "like" their Facebook page and tell them Kari Webb sent you!!  I will be your BFF forever and ever!!  :)

Oh, and I'm also linking up with tara over at fabulousbutevil for her weekly link up of "the nail files" - go check her out!!

    I've kind of wanted to try Julep but am totally on the fence. Maybe I should ask for it for a birthday present!

    I’m seriously considering Birch Box. I’ve been thinking about it for a few months. Some people love it and some hate it. Hmmm… I do love samples though. (Thank you for all the ones you sent me! I’ve already used two!) I love both of your Julep colors! Julep is so amazing. I have a mani/pedi appointment there next week!

Nail Files and a Giveaway

Today I'm linking up with Tara and Vicki  for their fabulous linkup party, The Nail Files. Essie : Turquoise and Caicos Julep : Ivy Annnnd...I'm doing something a little special for my readers today - a nail polish giveaway!!  I am admittedly copying Christina over at Easily Entertained .  :) She recently did a nail polish giveaway (that I missed out on..boo) and I thought what a GREAT way to get rid of some of my overflowing collection of polishes!!! You will win 8 bottles of nail polish including brands: OPI, CHI, Ulta, Avon, 2 Glitter Pots from Julep, and an Ulta Lipgloss! I apologize for the lighting - I will try to get a better picture and upload it. All of these polishes are slightly used (maybe 2 or 3 times) except for the CHI brand and the green Ulta one - those have never been used.  The glitter pots and the lipgloss are also brand spankin' new. a Rafflecopter giveaway

Loving Lately: My Discovery of MAC Cosmetics

I am 29 years young and I have JUST discovered MAC.  Yes, it's true.  I have apparently been living under a rock.  In a bubble.  Something!!  I ran out of foundation this weekend and decided to give it a try.  And O.M.G. I am so glad I did.  Ok - here are my face issues... 1. Oily Eyelids - eyeshadow creases within an hour...not fun. 2. Oily Face - makeup disappears and the shine is outta control...not fun either!! 3. Acne Scars - the dark spot kind...ugh!  4. Acne - why do I have acne at 29???  It just isn't fair to have to use acne treatment AND an anti-aging cream!!  I went to the MAC counter with absolutely no makeup on whatsoever....I was not lookin' pretty!  They were having a special event to market their "after hours" collection  and there was a model there with her husband who is apparently a famous NBA basketball player from the LA Clippers.  I guess I should've gotten a picture bu...

TRIA Hair Removal Laser

Ok...I'm just going to jump right into this.  Let's talk about hair.  I'm not talking about the hair on your head that you want people to see and love.  I'm talking about the unwanted hair that you loathe and want noone to see!  Embarrassing subject?  Yep!!  I have a medical condition called PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) that has many, many side effects that makes it extremely difficult to get preggers but that's another subject we won't get into right now.  One of the most annoying effects being facial hair!!  There, I said it.  Since high school I've had to deal with this embarrassing situation.  Back then, I hated it and I would cry because I thought I was the only one dealing with this.  Now that I'm older (and wiser), I can laugh about it.  And the more I talk to people about it, the more I realize women everywhere are dealing with this "lady with the beard" issue.  I seriously could join a circus, people....
