P-Co Beauty Diary

Click  HERE  to see my previous post on the Birchbox CEW Mass Appeal Box and for more info on both the boxes.  Inside the  Birchbox CEW Prestige Box  was  -La Fresh Eco-Beauty Oil-Free Face Cleanser -Julep Essential Cuticle Oil -Elizabeth Arden Prevage Anti-Aging Triple Defense Shield Broad Spectrum SPF 50 -Living Proof Prime Style Extender  -Julep Sally (click HERE  to see a swatch) -It Cosmetics Brow Power Universal Brow Pencil  I am excited to try the Living Proof Style Extender and I already own and like the Julep cuticle oil and the It Cosmetics brow pencil. I am a little disappointed that I received a Julep color that I already own, but that is risk you take when you own a lot of Julep polishes.

I was so excited when I saw that Birchbox was offering 2 CEW (Cosmetic Executive Women) boxes. They have one box featuring some of the winners of the Mass Appeal categories and one for the winners of the Prestige categories.  The Mass Appeal  box is $12 and the Prestige  is $18 but you can buy them both for $26, which is what I did. Inside the Mass Appeal box was -Burt's Bees Ultimate Care Hand Cream -Simple Revitalizing Eye Roll-On -Olay Pro-X Spot Fading Hand Cream -Nivea A kiss of Olive Oil & Lemon Moisture Rich Lip Care -L'Oreal Paris Infallible Eyeshadow in Golden Emerald -Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Charm Most of these products are full size and I will definitely be using all of them.  Look out for my post on the Prestige Box coming soon.  *All items were purchased by me and links are your own convenience *

So I have been taking Viviscal for about 2 1/2 months now and my overall hair growth has been an 1 1/2 inches. My starting point back in late April was 6 inches and I am now at 7 1/5 inches. My hair grew an inch the first month but has slowed down this second month. This seems to be normal from the reviews I have watched about Viviscal. My plan is to take it for the recommended 6 months.

I recently did some online shopping! Julep was having an amazing warehouse sale and I needed some items to help my hair. Here is what I ordered From Julep I purchased a Pomegranate body scrub and body cream, a Pink Grapefruit body scrub and body cream, a kit that included their Pedi Prep, Foot File and the color Kylie, 3 hair ties, and Daylight Defense lip balm. From Carol's Daughter I ordered Lisa's Hair Exlixar and their Sage and Shea foot cream. And lastly from QVC I ordered a WEN Tea Tree Kit that included a cleansing conditioner, replenishing mist, and hair and body oil all in tea tree. The kit also came with a comb.
