October 2011 Birchbox

For October's box, Birchbox has designed products to help you prep and polish your skin, body and hair. They say, "Get your pout ready for fall's statement lip colors with an all-natural lip serum. Perfect your complexion with a smoothing makeup primer. There's also a skin-clearing face wash, a gorgeous hair serum, and a chi-chi fabric wash that will ensure that your tees are in perfect shape." These products will help you become beautiful from start to finish.

My Birchbox seemed to come a few days earlier this month, so I was pleasantly surprised to see it sitting in my mailbox yesterday. So, let's get into it!

Fall Style Haul: Shoes

I've decided to start a new series of posts called Fall Style Haul, where I will feature favorite pieces from my collection. I've been on a shoe kick recently, so I thought I'd start off with featuring some of my favorite shoes to wear during the autumn season! Many of these shoes are more than a year old and may not be available to purchase anymore. However, I will list each store that I purchased the shoes from, so if you're interested in finding something similar, make sure to check those places out!

Fall is probably my favorite season for shoes - the weather is cool enough to wear boots but still nice to continue wearing flats and caged-style wedges. Take a look at some of my favorite shoes to wear during autumn and don't forget to share your thoughts and favorites in the comments below!

Monday Q&A: October 3

I am a dedicated reader of Makeup and Beauty Blog, where the author Karen posts a set of fun questions to answer every week and also asks readers to publish their own answers in a comment! I thought this would be a neat idea to start here on LIVandLETDIEx as well!

I'm going to continue posting a Q&A every Monday consisting of ten questions to answer, and would love for all of you to answer the same questions in a comment - it's always fun to see what other people are into and up to these days! I'll be keeping a list of questions to use for future Q&A's as well, so if you have any questions of your own you would like to see me include, leave it in the comments below!

Monday Q&A: May 23

Happy Monday everyone! Today I've decided to use Makeup and Beauty Blog author Karen's Monday Poll questions as my Monday Q&A. 

I post a Q&A every Monday consisting of ten questions to answer, and would love for all of you to answer the same questions in a comment - it's always fun to see what other people are into and up to these days! I'll be keeping a list of questions to use for future Q&A's as well, so if you have any questions of your own you would like to see me include, leave it in the comments below!

Top Ten Thursdays: Lipstick

I have decided to start a fun series of ongoing blog posts, called "Top Ten Thursdays". Every so often on Thursdays, I will post a new category of my top ten favorites. I'll post different kinds of makeup, articles of clothing, books, workout exercises, you name it! I'm also encouraging you to post your top ten favorites in the comments below along with giving me new categories to post my top ten favorites for so I can keep this series going!

Today, I have my Top Ten Favorite Lipsticks. I have been obsessed with lipsticks for a long time and am always looking for new and interesting shades to add to my collection. When it comes to color, I am not afraid! I love to wear hot pinks and bright corals during the day to spice up my look, and have been on the search for a lilac-y sort of purple as well.

I have photos and swatches of my top ten (in no particular order), and am going to list them and give a short description of each, but will not be doing in depth reviews of the products. If you're interested in a review, let me know! I'd be more than happy to do features later on of popular lipsticks. So, without further ado, let's get on with it!
