Boscia Cleansing Oil

Hi, everyone! I'm here to share one of the best products I've used in a long time - Boscia MakeUp-BreakUp Cool Cleansing Oil. I'm sure you've probably heard about this or walked by it in Sephora, but I thought that I should either remind you about it if you've seen it before, or introduce it to you if you've never heard of it.
I found Boscia in the beauty world of YouTube. YouTubers talk about this stuff all the time, so I couldn't not try it, right? I picked up the smaller size (1.7 oz) mid-December and quickly used it all up. Once I got back to Birmingham for school, I stopped by Sephora and bought the larger 5 oz. size. No regrets. This cleansing oil is meant to dissolve makeup and impurities while refreshing the skin.
I take this on clean hands every night before I take a shower and rub it into my full makeup face (even around my eyes). The oil dissolves the makeup and you can see it start coming up off of the skin. Then I take a warm, wet washcloth and remove all the oil (and makeup). It's the most soothing part of my nightly skin routine and I don't think I'll be stopping it anytime soon.

Have you tried Boscia's Cleansing Oil?

Birchbox/4




Hi, everyone! I'm finally back after what has been the busiest month of my life. I've been trying to figure out my schedule with working, interning, going to class, and having a social life. So, here I am!
This month, I signed up to receive the "Relax & Recharge" Box.

January's Birchbox:
Balance Me Wonder Eye Cream | Full-size, $38
What: Antiaging multitasker that conquers wrinkles and dark circles from the get-go.
How: Dab a pea-sized amount along undereye contour, steering clear of lash line.
My Thoughts: I love eye creams, so I was so excited to see this was in my box!

Briogeo Don't Despair! Repair! Deep Conditioning Mask | Full-size, $26
What: Hydrating mask that restores and strengthens with a blend of naturally derived ingredients.
How: After shampooing, work through hair. Wait 3-5 minutes (or even up to 20), then rinse.
My Thoughts: I was also really excited to see this product in my box. I've never really used a hair mask before, so I'm enjoying trying this out.

Manna Kadar Lip Locked - All of Me | Full-size, $24
What: All-in-one lip primer, stain, and gloss that's loaded with vitamins and berry extracts.
How: Sweep onto lips for long-lasting, no-fuss color - so you can enjoy the day in style.
My Thoughts: I was a little bit worried about this product when I first spotted it in my box. I'm not much of a lip gloss/stick/color wear-er. I'm more of a chapstick kind of gal, but I did try this on my lips and it feels very nice and not sticky at all.

Perlier Intensive Nurturing Body Balm - Shea Lavender | Full-size, $28.45
What: From the Italian skincare brand, this richly nourishing cream smooths and softens.
How: Massage the velvety treatment into skin, focusing on dry spots.
My Thoughts: I love this stuff! I've been using it quite frequently. I love spotting any kind of lotion/body balm because it's something I use daily and the smaller sizes make it easy to throw in my backpack or purse.

When Travelmate Sheet Mask | Set of 4 Masks, $28
What: This mask, made of eco-friendly coconut fibers, soothes and nourishes for a healthy glow.
How: Apply to clean face. After 20 minutes, remove mask and massage in extra serum into skin.
My Thoughts: I thought this was a really neat product to receive in a Birchbox. I've never tried a sheet mask before, so I'm really excited to try out this one!

Bonus: TeaPigs Tea Temples
