Birchbox Review: February 2013
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 is: Red Carpet Ready.
Products Included:
1. Color Club Nail Polish in Wild Cactus - A great polish from Color Club. In the bottle it looks like a teal green color, but on the nails it is a very pretty shade of emerald green. Very gorgeous and very on trend.
2. Dr. Lipp Original Nipple Balm for Lips - This is a thick balm originally formulated for nursing moms. (Think the thickness of Vaseline.) It doesn't have a scent or taste. I love it as a lip gloss/moisturizer because it really hydrates the lips. Mine were very chapped from the cold weather, but after one wear of this, they were smooth and hydrated. It is a very thick, tacky formula though, so I would hate to be a mom that has to put it on my nips. You wouldn't really want to wear clothes while it was on because it is thick and sticky and greasy. It would leave spots on your bra or shirt.
3. Skin & Co. Roma Cleansing Body Gel with Olive and Sicilian Orange Extracts - This is basically a body wash, although it comes in a clear, light gel formula. It feels nice and smooth on the skin and has a light orange scent.
4. Twistband Thick Headband - I use the small Twistband hair ties at home every day. I like them a lot. This headband is not very secure though. It easily slips off my head. Either my head is too big (most likely) or the headband is too big.
Extras
Ghirardelli Caramel Chocolate Square - A typical square of Ghirardelli chocolate with a creamy caramel filling. Yum!
