October Fashion and Beauty Favorites

It’s hard to imagine that since I share so many products on the blog and social media that I actually have some that are my actual favorites. It’s true; I’m a creature of habit and when I find something I like I tend to use it over and over and over again.

What’s inside the RedBook Beauty Box

I recieved this BeautyBox for review. All opions are my own. Many of you know that I usually give beauty boxes the side eye. I mean I try to like them I really do, but most of the time they’re just a bunch of small samples that you can pick up at the dollar store or in the travel section of Target.
