BIRCHBOX Limited Edition: Prestige Headliners 2014 box for CEW (aka My Sister's Christmas gift) ♥

Here is the Limited Edition: Prestige Headliners - 2014 Birchbox for CEW.

I gifted this to my sister for Christmas.

Unfortunately, she hasn't picked it up yet...so it's still wrapped at my house.

But I didn't want to delay my post any longer, so here it is.

It's definitely a spoiler for her but I'm not sure how often she checks my beauty blog.

I LOVE this limited edition box  ♥

I even mentioned in the teaser post how much I wanted one for myself.

I went back to possibly purchase one for myself and it's currently "Out of stock".

This box (I believe) was available since around the summer of 2014.

I may have snagged the last one.

Here is the itemized card.

All of these items were chosen as finalists in the 2014 CEW Insiders' Choice Beauty Awards.

In other words, all of these are gonna be amazing !!

Fekkai Brilliant Glossing Creme

Dying to try this!! I know the Fekkai 'dry shampoo' was featured in the fall Target beauty box and people were raving about it online.  This glossing creme takes control of those frizzes and helps uber shine your hair! 

COOLA Environmental Repair Plus Radical Recovery After-Sun Lotion

To keep your skin protected from harmful rays.

philosophy miracle worker overnight

a "youth-boosting moisturizer".

That right there won me over.

Sounds like a must-have.

Josie Maran Cosmetics 100% Pure Argan Oil Light

I've seen Argan Oil everythwere!  Hair products mainly but this one is for skin care.

Helps dry skin and eczema.

100% Pure Creamy Nail Polish

This is the cutest polish ever.  The packaging and the color.

I'm not sure what the color is but it's so cute--like a nude pink that feels so organic.

It's made without harsh chemicals using vegan formulas. 

Love that.

Lifestyle Extras: Toe Separators & Pocket Mirror

Cool bonus items.  Super cute ♥

This box is perfect and it was priced very well.

I've joined the 'waitlist' for when it becomes available again--that's how good this box is.

I hope my sister enjoys it ♥

beauty box 5 contents for September 2014 ♥ delayed FREE BOX

First of all, I was surprised to find 2 boxes in my mail today!

Felt like Christmas all over again.

Now, let me explain why I received a September box.

In my first BB5 post, I blogged about my first box (November) and my Free box that I received along with it.  Well, it turns out that wasn't the free box.  That was the mystery box that I paid an additional $10 for.  I entered a code for a 'FREE box' but never received it...so I emailed customer service and they were super awesome about it.  She saw that it was never sent to me so here it is now ^_^.

The code was for a free previous month's box.  So it looks like I received the September one.

The theme for September was 'balancing act'.

Not too shabby for a free box ♥

Here is the list of the contents.

Natural Style by FUBU Deep Conditioner

Sample packets of a deep conditioner....by FUBU?

I think of the clothing line FUBU so I wonder if it's the same brand?

anyhow, I love deep conditioners in general so I'm happy to get these.

My Sample Value $0.83

(Full size value $9.99 for 12oz)

My Beauty Spot Nail Polish - color *#43* couldn't find the color name

This is a pretty color.  A shimmery pink/magenta.

My Sample Value $4.15

(Full size value $4.15)

Nicka K New York Eyelight Crayon - color *gold*

This is a duplicate item for me :(

I received the same brand and same color in my November box.

But that's ok, I'll pass this on to my sister. 

It's a great eye crayon.  Easy to apply.

My Sample Value $4.49

(Full size value $4.49)

Dr. Lin Acne Spot Corrector

Helps to fade old acne spots and prevents breakouts.

Honestly, I don't get pimples anymore!  Back in my early 20's I did.

I'm not sure I'll be using this.  I'll also ask my sister about this and see if she would like to try it.

My Sample Value $4.50

(Full size value $8.99)

Sally Hansen Toe Spacers

These go hand in hand with the nail polish.

And to be honest, I've NEVER purchased toe spacers before.  Never felt the need for it.

But now that I got one I'll totally try it out.

My Sample Value $1.99

(Full size value $1.99)

So these were the contents of my FREE box that I was to receive a couple months ago.

Glad it's here now.  

Not a bad box.  I'll use most of it and my sister will be scoring a couple freebies.

The total value of this month's box (roughly) comes to $15.96
