111 Skin is a skincare line founded by Dr. Yannis Alexandrides, MD, a cosmetic surgeon in the UK. The brand’s name is in reference to his original clinic location, 111 Harley Street in London.

SUB’VIEW: March 2019 BoxyLuxe Review #boxyluxerose #boxycharm #rougebeka #bbloggers

This month’s BoxyLuxe, “La Vie En Rose,” springs this season into action with a lot of popular brands. While the overall curation wasn’t a love for me, it was well worth the Luxe price of $49.99. Check out the goodies after the jump:

SUB’VIEW: March 2019 Birchbox Review #birchbox #rougebeka #bbloggers

This month’s Birchbox celebrates International Women’s Day, supporting The Future Starts Now Fund to “invent the reality you want to live.” I love the concept, even though the box wasn’t filled with women-owned brands. The box was haircare heavy, which worked well for me. Let’s check out my box reality below:

PYT Beauty: All + Nothing Concealer Review and Brand Overview #bbloggers #rougebeka

PYT Beauty debuted at Ulta late 2018 with a handful of stock units. The brand, which publicly launched July 2018, is themed on “clean beauty” focusing on “Beauty without the BS (bad stuff).” The brand was launched by two friends who originally wanted to create organic beauty for teens. Now it’s a brand that has settled on “clean” but not organic and targets millenials, not just teens.

Birchbox Ditches Retail Ownership for Drugstore Collaboration #birchbox #walgreens #duanereade #rougebeka #bbloggers

Birchbox and Walgreens are moving in together! Birchbox officially shut down its flagship SoHo store on December 23 and launched in select Walgreens and Duane Reade locations this month. This transfers overhead to Walgreens while increasing Birchbox’s physical footprint – all good news for Birchbox. Walgreens profits through its minority interest, expands its boutique brand offerings, and engages…

SUB’VIEW: December 2018 Birchbox Review #birchbox #rougebeka #bbloggers

I just picked up a deal on a Birchbox subscription, which will be replacing my Ipsy glambag next year. While Birchbox, like the Sephora box, usually only includes samples sizes, I’m hoping the curation will be the worth the under $8/mo I’ll be paying (I don’t subscribe to Sephora anymore because I didn’t get enough value from it). Check out the December Birchbox, themed to “freshen up your winter…
