For your Holiday Party- Birthday in a Box Review


Don't let the name fool you! Birthday In a Box has a large selection of party supplies and is not just limited to birthday parties. They carry products to help you with all your celebrating needs. In fact I was sent a Holiday Party Kit to review.


This Vintage Poinsettia Deluxe Kit Includes:
  • 18 Vintage Poinsettia Cake Plates
  • 18 Vintage Poinsettia 9oz Cups
  • 36 Vintage Poinsettia Luncheon Napkins
  • 24 Forks/Spoons/Knives
  • 1 Vintage Poinsettia Table Cover
  • 2 Sets Streamers
It's perfect for Christmas and I can't wait to put it to use at my family's annual party. They also have several other "party in a box" sets as well as other themed tableware to help you have a Holly, Jolly Christmas.



This Joyful Snowman would look great on the kids table.

Currently all patterned tableware is 50% off, what a steal! Besides tableware you can also find decorations, party favors and other accessories to make your Holiday party a festive one. To make it extra fun for the family here are some Christmas Party Games you might want to include, as well as other party ideas for a memorable night.  

Birthday in a Box wants to make your special event easy for you. Order in the next couple of days and there is still time to get your stuff in time for Christmas. Not having a Holiday party? Be sure to keep Birthday in a Box in mine for your next party event. They are super affordable and have a ton of themes to choose from. I have purchased party supplies for my daughter in the past and have always been pleased with everything.

*Gift Idea- Creekside Farms Review

It's that time of the year when people are displaying their wreaths to get into the Holiday spirit. Creekside Farms provides quality artisan wreaths direct from their farm in California's Monterey County, to your home. Their lovely wreaths are created by hand using herbs and flowers that are grown on the farm without pesticides. They have a large variety to choose from and not just during the Holidays as you would expect. Creekside Farms offers wreaths for all occasions, be it a gorgeous wedding wreath or a patriotic one. I especially like their Herb Wreaths that fill your kitchen and home with wonderful fragrances from herbs like sage and rosemary.


I was sent this Holiday Citrus Wreath for review.

This wonderfully fragrant all natural wreath is embellished with slit oranges, tallow berries, quince slices, and spruce cones.


I love this wreath! A soon as I received my package from Creekside Farms I opened it up not knowing what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised not only by the look of this wreath but with the smell. It has a citrus-y smell  that goes well with the spruce. When my daughter came home from school the first words out of her mouth when she walked in the door were "it smells like Christmas in here!" It looks like Christmas too!


I was excited to learn that as long as you care for your wreath by keeping it indoors and away from harsh temperatures, and most importantly keeping it dry, it can very well stay beautiful for up to a year. The fresh greens will dry naturally and turn into a dried arrangement that you can continue to display.

Most of their wreaths will ship within 2 to 3 days so there is still time to order one before Christmas. Use the code GIRLY  at checkout and receive 15% off your order! Also be sure to like Creekside Farms on Facebook and follow them on Twitter.

Color Me Beauty

Fast and flawless makeup starts here. Color Me is laser focused on improving makeup application.  

Founded on the vision of Eric Jimenez, Color Me brings makeup application to the next level. With an automatic sponge that runs at a rate of 15,000 pulses per minute, the device applies foundation smoothly and mimics gentle finger tapping. In an independent clinical study, most women reported cutting application time in half, with improved evenness. 

At first when I received Color Me , I was a little apprehensive especially because I am a professional MUA working daily on set .  Color me Beauty was extremely generous & sent me several sponges which I decided to use on a client who wanted a flawless coverage with out the "Cakey" feeling . 

Needless to say , I was Blown Away on how smooth it was applying the liquid foundation . It was a bit weird letting go of the control & allowing this little machine do the work .. I have included a pic of the final result (with no filter or touch up ) I was impressed ! 

Now although I LOVED this on my client , I am a totally different beast when it comes to foundation . I like it Full Coverage & HEAVY hahaha …. I busted out a new sponge & began to apply on myself … I will say that it did deliver , but after the fact , I did go back in & buff 1 , maybe 2 more coats of foundation on .. but again , I am a FULL Coverage  not your average foundation wearer ! 

This Product is SUPERB for the everyday woman who wants that flawless face with the least amount of product . It is sold at your local ULTA stores & comes with 2 sponge replacements ! Depending on how often you wear makeup will determine the how long the sponge will last ! 

A great gift for moms on the go or even your teenage daughter who is just learning how to control her coverage ! 


Go Check them out !
