1. Happy Moments for $10

If you follow my Youtube ( https://www.youtube.com/chicagowholigan ) then you will know that I am subscribe to a monthly beauty subscription call Birchbox. 
And all you have to do is go to birchbox.com fill out your information and choose the box you want.
They range from a $10 box $20 box and a $50 box (don't quote me), but I chosed the $10 box to be budget friendly. 

 My October Birchbox $10

What I got in my box.
 
This heat protector / Detangler from Beauty Protector (21.95 full price) 

 
Some hand cream by Tocca ($8-$20 full price)

A roll-on perfume sample from Sage + Fasten ($50 full price)

Mascara by ModelCo ( $20 full price)
Lastly, a face exfoliator from Vasanti Cosmetics ( $34 full price)

As you can see all of these products are worth more then $10 but with Birchbox and can really more bang for your buck. 
Check out my youtube channel later this month for a video review of all the products. 


Peace & Love,
Melo

Current beauty essentials...


My facial routine always starts off a facial cleanser ($30?)
I use this Origins "Checks and Balances" face wash. It's a frothy face wash that cleans both dry and oily skin.
The next step would be to put on my Biore  strips ($10)
I suffer from both blackheads (nose) and whiteheads (chin), and with consistent use these strips have help diminished the pores on my face. 
After that, I do my Queen Helen Mint Julep Masque ($5)
This masque helps to absorb excess oil, rinses away blackheads and help minimize the appearance of pores. 
Then I apply this Origins "No Puffery" ($21)
This a cooling masque to help eliminate puffy eyes
Lastly, I moisturize my face with Simple Replenishing Moisturizer ($8) 
This lightweight  moisturizer  leaves my skin feeling moist and soft.
