Wow, I received (one of) my Birchbox today--super early!
I'm guessing that the curated boxes are already put together so they are being sent out first.
Anyway, I was an extra happy girl today ♥
Awww I really like this box.
It's a baby green (looks more blue in the photo) cover.
Info card.
A first look.
This month, BB's featured box was the "Beauty Solutions Box".
BB put together a box "filled with supereffective products" to help out with our "most persistent beauty difficulties". I'm dying to find out how these will help out a gal like me!
Whish Three Whishes Body Butter - scent *almond*
Wow, so I tried this right away. I like the formula--not thick or greasy at all.
But the scent is a bit overpowering.
It smells like sweet almonds which is nice but it's a bit sharp and strong.
Rather than using it as a full body lotion I'll use it strictly for my hands.
My Sample Value $3.52
(Full size value $24.00)
Dear Clark Volumizing Tonic
So this is the only product I know that I won't be using.
It's a spray for volumizing hair--the last thing I would ever do to my already full, thick hair.
The scent was a bit odd. Not really sure what to think of this one.
I'll be passing it onto someone.
My Sample Value $4.33
(Full size value $26.00)
Supergoop! Advanced SPF37 Anti-Aging Eye Cream
I like Supergoop!. I have their CC cream and loved it.
And I could really use an eye cream.
But...why are their sample sizes so teeny tiny?
I wish they could give us a bit more to try out with.
Perhaps a little goes a long way. This might actually last me longer than I think.
My Sample Value $6.00
(Full size value $45.00)
derma e Evenly Radiant Brightening Day Creme SPF15
I'm not exactly sure what a 'brightening' creme does but maybe it'll really brighten up my face!
From reading it, it sounds like a really fancy sunscreen.
This will come in use in the next few months as we start getting more sun.
The cream is very 'lightweight' but the tub was packed.
My Sample Value $6.99
(Full size value $27.95)
Laura Geller Beauty Baked Blush-n-Brighten - shade *Pink Grapefruit*
I'm really becoming a fan of Laura Geller!
I have her liquid eyeshadow (love!) and this blush is super nice!
I wore this today and I really really like it ♥
The shade is amazing and the palette is so beautiful.
So far, it's my number one blush. The case even has a half mirror in it.
Can you see my camera?
I'm going to go explore some more Laura Gellar products.
My Sample Value $5.81
(Full size value $31.00)
Another well put together curated box.
You go, BB!
The total value of this month's Featured Box (roughly) comes to $26.65.
Since subscribing last November, I've learned so many new products and this is such a fun experience for me. Every month I find something amazing. It never fails.
I totally recommend BB for anyone looking to explore the beauty world ♥
