OPI's "Funky Dunkey" & My First Birchbox!

OPI's "Funky Dunkey"

I saw this color in one of the little sale bins at Ulta and I had to get it! My favorite color is purple, and this shade definitely caught my eye. It's like a "Barney purple",  for lack of better terminology. Very fun color and it also looks great with a coat of Sephora by OPI Blasted Silver on top :)

I also bought two polishes from OPI's new Fall 2011 collection, "Touring America", as well as another polish called "Dating A Royal" which is a great shade of blue I just couldn't pass up.

"Honk If You Love OPI", "Get In The Expresso Lane", "Dating A Royal"

I'm really excited to use "Get In The Expresso Lane" which is a very pretty brown. It's actually my first brown polish! Perfect for the upcoming Fall season.

Last week I received my first Birchbox! I was really excited to see what was inside. I'd like to make my monthly Birchbox a regular segment on my blog. I plan on sharing with you guys what I got for the month and also reviews of the products once I've used them. So let's take a look...

Birchbox - August 2011

1. June Jacobs | Papaya Purifying Enzyme Mask: "Powered by natural fruit extracts, this creamy mask dissolves dull cells, then boosts skin with essential oils and antioxidant-rich tea extracts."
2. Ouidad | Climate Control Heat & Humidity Gel: "A styling aid with brains! When this non-sticky gel senses heat, it stops hair from expanding. Welcome to frizz-free curls."
3. Shaveworks | The Cool Fix: "At last, a solution to bumps, ingrown, and other shaving and waxing side effects. Bonus: it soothes as it works."
4. smashbox cosmetics | Photo Finish Foundation Primer: "This award winning primer is better than ever, with brand-new packaging. It gives skin a matte, velvet-soft finish and keeps makeup in place all day."

I was really happy to see smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer as one of the samples. I've been wanting to try this product for some time now, but never could think of a good enough reason to spend $36 on a foundation primer. Lucky me!
