Totes & Lillies Giveaway! {closed}

Like most Southern girls, I can't seem to resist anything with a Lilly print, grosgrain ribbon, or monogramming, so Totes and Lillies' store obviously made me swoon. So much adorable merchandise!

 

These belts are just screaming my name. I love the bamboo rings!

 

 Both of these headbands are adorable! The red monogrammed headband actually has a detachable bow that can also be used as a hair clip! How cute.

 

 I've never seen another company that makes pocket mirrors in Lilly prints! I think I need both.

Since I'm going to be traveling so much between LA and Orlando plus my honeymoon, I need some new luggage tags, right?

 

Plus, Totes and Lillies has the most amazing selection of key fobs. Cute prints with monogramming options as well!

I love this necklace- "I love you more than yesterday, less than tomorrow". I need to get this asap.

My June Birchbox

My June Birchbox has been my favorite so far! Each month I've loved the products that I've received, but I got all of the items I wanted this month!

Seeing this beauty in my mailbox is the highlight of my month.

I got everything I wanted!

  

The main event- a FULL SIZE Laura Gellar Baked Blush N' Brighten that retails for $30 in Apricot Berry

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil Free Lotion

Xen-Tan Deep Bronze Luxe in Dark

Herban Essentials Orange Towelettes

Kate Spade Twirl Perfume

I am so happy with this month's Birchbox. For $10, I received probably around $45.00 worth of products from upscale brands that I love. I'm so excited to try these products out and let you all know what I think!

Another great thing about Birchbox is that each month, you have the opportunity to review each product that you receive on their website. Each review is worth 10 points, and 100 points earns a $10.00 gift certificate to Birchbox. The points add up quickly though because you receive 4-6 products each month. I can't wait to redeem my gift certificate soon.

Do you subscribe to Birchbox? How did you like your box this month?

Thanks again to everyone who entered. Make sure you check out all of the giveaways I'm posting this week!

LaVaque Tweezers + Giveaway Reminder

In the past year, I've had at least four horrible eyebrow waxing experiences. One person used wax that was so hot I got blisters on my face! Another girl nearly waxed off half my eyebrow on accident. As my wedding approaches, I've been ultra-conscious about avoiding any potential disasters that could ruin my wedding pictures, so I've resorted to tweezing.

Some of the first tweezers I used were so rounded at the tips that you couldn't tweeze precisely, and they didn't really grab onto your hair. Luckily, I think I've managed to find some of the best tweezers around- LaVaque.

Standard Slanted Tweezer

I have had the best experience with LaVaque's standard slanted tweezers. I would say they're highly comparable to the quality of Tweezerman tweezers but at a better price point.The tip is slanted and goes to a point (don't worry- it's not sharp!) which makes precise tweezing so much easier. In addition, all of their tweezers have a no questions asked lifetime guarantee. LaVaque also has adorable swarovski and diamond tweezers! 

LaVaque's tag line is definitely accurate :)

LaVaque Crystal Nail File

I also tried LaVaque's crystal nail file, and I think it's a really good product. The double-sided crystal surface is long-lasting and will last for years, but it's also a non-porous material, so the crystal nail files can be sanitized! I think the crystal nail files are a great deal at only $5.99 considering how long they'll last and their superior quality!

Overall, I am highly satisfied with my slanted tweezers and crystal nail file! I would definitely repurchase these products, but I don't think I'll ever need to because they're so sturdy and there's a lifetime guarantee!

Be sure to check out LaVaque's Facebook page! Each Monday, they give away free pairs of their tweezers, and they also offer giveaways for their crystal nail files as well! For more information, check out LaVaque's website!

Don't forget to enter my giveaway to win 5 L'Oreal Infallible Le Rouge lipsticks! It ends tonight at 11:59pm.
