I promised a giveaway when I reached 100 followers.
Well, much to my surprise, I passed 100 before I could get my ish together.
So today I have the ultimate giveaway.
It's my Friday Favorites
but soon they'll be yours!
If you're a blogger, you've probably heard of Birchbox.
It's my Friday Favorites
but soon they'll be yours!
If you're a blogger, you've probably heard of Birchbox.
These monthly subscription boxes of goodies are all the rage.
Occasionally when a blogger does a review of the products,
I get super envious and consider signing up.
But truth be told,
I wouldn't use half that crap.
And for $10 a month,
my Netflix subscription gets WAY more use.
(cough andHulutoo cough)
(cough andHulutoo cough)
And so,
I have created a Birchbox knock off for you other
drugstore makeup loving chicas out there.
Full of my very favorite products and a few
that have gotten rave reviews in the blogosphere.
So without further ado...
The Back East Blonde Box.
Like a Birchbox, but better.
(I know, I'm wildly creative)
1. Neutrogena Makeup Removing Towelettes - These get the job done. 'Nuff said.
2. EcoTools Bamboo Nail File Set - I never clip, only file. These are good ones.
3. Scunci Polybands - Way better for braid ends than a bulky hair tie!
4. Maybelline Babylips in Cherry Me - The perfect foray into red lips. I use it as chapstick.
5. Johnson's Baby Powder - Like I've said before, dry shampoo for poor people. Or me before I discovered dry shampoo.
6. L'oreal Infallible le Gloss in Bloom - The perfect neutral pink for anyone. It lasts without being too sticky.
7. Ulta Nail Lacquer in Pink-a-boo - Pale pink will always be a classic. This is my go-to.
8. E.L.F. Waterproof Eyeliner Pen in Black - I've heard this is very comparable to MAC Penultimate Eyeliner.
9. Dove Nourishing Hair Oil Care Detangler - This has gotten rave reviews in the blogosphere. Works for all hair types.
So there you have it. My favorites could soon be yours.
Enter to win here:
What a cute idea!! I've heard awesome things about the babylips.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried the Loreal lipgloss!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a good giveaway idea, Nadine! You smarty pants. I'm a total drugstore make-up user too. I use Bare Minerals as my "foundation," but I will always love my drugstore mascara, eye liner, gloss, lip balm, and concealer! Also, I've been using baby powder as dry shampoo for YEARS. I used it this morning, actually!
ReplyDeleteIf I win the giveaway, I'm looking forward to using the Neutrogena wipes, EcoTools set, and the Dove oil!
Yay!! Love this! You know I'm a beauty hoarder junkie and I couldn't resist this! That Dove stuff IS amazing. And the ELF liner! And the Baby Lips! Gaaah I want it all! :)
ReplyDeletePS I'm totally doing this too when I hit a "certain number" -- great minds.... :)
ammmmmmmmazing. and I'm hoping to reach 100 soon and also do a kick butt giveaway!
ReplyDeleteCan I still enter if I have an American shipping address?? My sister lives in the States and gets stuff for me all the time lol. Btw, LOVE your blog.
ReplyDeleteyay! thanks for sharing!

CONGRATS on 100 followers!!I don't think I can pick just one thing I would be excited to get!! I love Ulta nailpolish! I want to try the detangler (thanks to post baby hair falling out like crazyyy) annnd the eyeliner...annd all of it?! I love dry shampoo but definitely use baby powder!! Great for us blondes :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 100 followers...I'm 118! If you were designing the Birchbox I would totally sign up. I feel like I am the only one in the blogging world who is not impressed with the Birchbox. Your box has all things I would use. Love your favorites.
ReplyDeletewhat a fun giveaway!!! congrats on 100+!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute giveaway!! Thanks so much :)
ReplyDeleteI'm excited about the makeup remover towlettes. I know, weird right? But I've always wanted to try them and I ALWAYS forget to buy some, ha ha!
Love this! What a great idea, girl! I'm most excited about babylips because every time I go to buy it, it's sold out!! Congrats on 100 :)
ReplyDeleteThis is fun! I was not impressed with the Birchbox- the samples were small and I didn't feel as though it was tailored for me at all. I get Glossybox, though, and it's much, much better. In fact, I used Glossybox samples for an entire two-week holiday and didn't run out!
ReplyDeleteYou've got some great staples in here! Good idea!
Congrats on reaching that 100 followers. That's a big milestone in blog-land! I really would love to have those polybands. How simple am I? I always wear my hair in a low braid or side pony and that big black rubberband never looks quite right. whoops.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a genius idea! And I always think you look really good in your pictures so maybe somewhere in that box is your secret! :)
ReplyDeletei'm super excited...such a great box of stuff! :)
ReplyDeleteLove this!
ReplyDeletexo, Katie
I think I'm most excited about the lip gloss. But the eyeliner looks interesting....
ReplyDeleteI love all of these products but I think I'd be most excited to try the Dove Detangler :)
ReplyDeleteI love this giveaway! I'm most excited about eyeliner...I'm in desperate need of a new one!
ReplyDeleteI'm falling in love with the ELF products! Definitely excited about trying the eyeliner!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea! You're right, as a drugstore makep-up girl most of the time, I'd use the stuff you're providing in your "back east blonde box" WAY more than the birch box!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway. I use those Neutrogena towelettes and they are amaz! I'd like to try the lip gloss and ELF producut
ReplyDeleteThe detangler looks like it would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteI want to try E.L.F. Waterproof Eyeliner Pen in Black
ReplyDeleteI'm excited about the Dove Detangler! I don't use any hair products when I style and I really should use something after the shampoo and conditioner!
ReplyDeleteI am excited to try the L'oreal lipgloss. I am a lipgloss junkie but that is one brand I haven't tried yet. I am faithful to my MAC lipglosses but if I can find a cheaper brand, sign me up.
ReplyDeleteI am excited to try Dove Nourishing Hair Oil Care Detangler.
ReplyDeleteI have heard great things about this product!
Love the items you picked. Thanks for being so generous!
Awesome giveaway, I'm a follower and I'm commenting!
ReplyDeleteFinally, a giveaway with practical things! These are mostly the things I buy anyways, but I would be excited about trying #9!
ReplyDeleteI am excited because I wanted to try the baby lips and I already love the detangler
