July Birchbox || Review

July Birchbox || Review

Hey hey hey, Making Joy and Bliss readers! I hope you're having the best Thursday ever! I'm here with yet another beauty box for you. Let me just start by saying, last month's Birchbox was a flop. There wasn't a single thing that I liked, plus, the only product that I thought I'd enjoy arrived damaged. But enough with the negativity from me, because Birchbox turned things around this month! I'm going to start rating each of the products from 1-5, 1 being "wow, that was terrible" to 5 being "I'm totally repurchasing this."

The Best of All Beauty Boxes || June Target Beauty Box

The Best of All Beauty Boxes || June Target Beauty Box

Why hello Making Joy and Bliss readers! Long time no blog post! I'm finally back and so excited to get back into it. I've spent the last few months receiving monthly beauty boxes from companies like Birchbox and Ipsy. I have absolutely loved it. There's nothing like the excitement of opening a box full of fresh beauty items to try out. This month I decided to check out Target's monthly box. This is not a subscription like most box services. Target releases a new box on their website each month and reveals everything that's in it so you know exactly what you're getting. I decided to grab the June box mainly because I was frustrated with some of my subscription boxes sending me products that I had no use for. With July approaching, I thought it would be fun to tell you all about the June box in case you were interested in snagging this month's.

April Ipsy Glam Bag || Beauty Subscription Review 

April Ipsy Glam Bag || Beauty Subscription Review 

A few months ago I signed up for my first subscription service to try out different beauty products. I spent a lot of time researching Ipsy vs. Birchbox and decided to try out Ipsy first. I liked the idea of receiving my products in a different makeup bag every month instead of a box that I would just end up throwing away. I did, however, sign up for Birchbox too after my first Ipsy bag came! They both only cost $10! Anyways, I thought I'd review my first Ipsy box and the products that came with it. Of course, I'll include links to everything so you can try them out too!  If you do want to take advantage of this beauty service, use this link to grab your own!

My Skincare Favorites

My Skincare Favorites

 I think I have finally mastered the perfect skincare routine for me and I thought I'd share with y'all. I have extremely dry and sensitive skin, so finding the right products for me has been quite a challenge. The winter season is usually really tough when it comes to dealing with red, dry, irritated skin. I've also struggled with eczema my entire life, and I've recently found some awesome drugstore products that have worked wonders.

Favorite Beauty Products of 2016

This year I tried out a million beauty products and finally narrowed it down to my absolute favorites from the past 12 months. I usually go for a really simple look when it comes to makeup, and I've really fallen in love with curling my hair and working on getting as much volume as possible. The bigger the hair, the closer to God, right? Let me know if you love any of these products too, or if you end up trying any of them out on your own! I've included links to each of the products below!
