If you don't know about Birchbox, it is a monthly subscription service. For $10 a month, you get a box of 4 to 5 high-end skincare, makeup, and/or hair care products to sample. Sometimes there are also "lifestyle samples", like an organic granola bar, tea, etc. Some products are even full-size!
It is a really fun thing to get in the mail! Plus, I am a product junkie and love being able to try all these different products. Check out the website for more information!
This month's theme was Birchbox Favorites.
Products included:
- Blinc Mascara. I was excited to try this because I heard fabulous things about it. It is a tubing mascara, so it should be waterproof/sweatproof. The brush is one of those really skinny ones that I hate. The formula was so wet and, in combination with the skinny brush, it just got gunk all over my eye. I seriously had wet globs of mascara all over me. I got frustrated and didn't try it again.
- Incoco Nail Polish Applique. Still haven't tried these, though I am very excited about them. Painting my nails takes so long these days. No matter what top coat I try, they always chip very fast too. It is exciting to think I could have decorative nails for more than a day or so without them chipping and looking cruddy.
- Jouer Lip Enhancer. Love this. It goes on like a clear lip gloss and has a nice, hydrating feeling. It stays on for quite a while too. I ended up buying a full size.
- LIV GRN Natural Eau de Parfum. I'm not a huge fan of high end perfumes because they all smell really floral and "old lady" to me. This one doesn't though. It is a light, happy scent with a fruity smell. Almost like oranges and grapes. I'd wear this.
- Lash Card. I love the idea of this card - to keep the aforementioned mascara from getting all over my face. For me though, it was a bit tricky to use.
