What was May's Gossip Girl birchbox really worth?

The highly anticipated Birchbox Gossip Girl box arrived and was unboxed with disappointment. After receiving a box with the collaborated forces of birchbox and teen vogue (which I loved),  I couldn't wait to see what I had gotten this month.

Because I get my birchboxes towards the later part of the month, I take sneak peaks of the contents of  each month's box via youtube. On occasion, I will get the email talking about the products I received in my month's box before I've even received the box. This month's box was one of those instances where the email told me the products I got before I received the physical box and I said to myself, "BORING!'.

Hyrdate your face already!

Have you ever wondered what the importance of moisturizing and including spf in your skin care was? Well, one of my friends asked me facial moisturizer advice recently and thought I'd share a bit about it.


I have combination oily skin and before being regimented in my current moisturizer use, I used to think moisturizer was an optional thing. Along with that, I enjoy tanning and would use little to no spf protection on my face until my best friend told me that I should start to care for my skin better.

With some research, I realized I could be causing irreversible skin damage which I needed to change!
