February Birchbox 2014

My February Birchbox came and there a few bits that I am really excited to use.

1. Beauty Protector Protect & Oil 
I'm not really big into hair oils, but this one helps protect against UV rays, heat and breakage!

2. Coola Tinted Matte SPF 30 for Face
I love my Jouer Matte Moisture tint for a velvet matte finish so I'm really excited to try the Coola Tinted Matte moisturizer. This is a mineral-based product that should give you a shine-free complexion. I will report back about this one.

3. Ruby Wing Color Changing Nail Polish in Kitten Heels
I was wowed by the hot pink when I opened this month's birchbox and I'm even more surprised that this is color changing nail polish! I can't wait to see this in action!

4. Smashbox Cosmetics Full Exposure Mascara
I love mascara samples. Excited to try a Smashbox mascara because I have never tried them.

5. Smashbox Cosmetics Full Exposure Palette
This sample is a bit dissapointing but it is a sample of the whole range of eye shadows in the full size palette.

Blue lines

For a subtle change in my every day makeup look, I've been wearing blue eyeliner instead of the usual black. I've been using the Smashbox Jet Set Waterproof eye liner in Deep Navy. I apply it with a Real Techniques Fine liner brush and while I used to think it would be really hard it's actually super easy to apply and get a nice defined line. Especially since I have such dark brown eyes, it's nice sometimes to have a little surprise in your eyeliner or mascara color to play up your eyes.

I topped it off with Urban Decay Big Fatty mascara which seriously gives you insanely full lashes. The wand is huge and can get a little messy but your lashes look fat. I don't wear this often because I usually go for waterproof formulas but for days when I know I don't want to be removing that waterproof mascara later in the night... this is the better option.

What do you think? Do you guys like wearing different color eye liners?
