For those of you who do not know what BirchBox is, it is a membership that you pay $10 a month for and they send you high end samples and sometimes you get full size products; like this month a I got a full size mascara that runs for $24 in stores...you do the math ;).
This month's box has been by far my favorite box! I have only been a member for about 4 or 5 months. Here is the rundown on my box:
ModelCo Fibre Lashxtend Lengthening Mascara:
I was really excited about this product as I had anticipated that it would be a full size product. I also, am a huge fan of the fibre lash mascara product; it gives me fullness without the weight and clumping that several coats of regular mascara will do. If you aren't aware of what fibre lash is, then where have you been?!?! :) What it is regular mascara with a twist, it has tons of tiny little fibers mixed in, and when you apply it to your lashes the fibers attach to your lashes and create a lengthening and fullness affect. This brand is the best I have come across and I couldn't be happier. My first experience with fibre lash was by complete accident I picked up the wrong type at the store. With that first tube it took some getting used to because sometimes the fibers would adhere too close to my eye and when I blinked they would poke me, and I have since had that problem with other brands I have tried. That is not the case with the ModelCo Fibre Lashxtend, and I have also not run into the problem where once the mascara drys on your lashes sometimes the fibres will fall off onto your face then you have little black specks everywhere. I was able to apply this mascara to my desired looked without any problems and it has great coverage...which means I can use less and make it last (which is great when it comes to spending that kind of $$ on one tube of mascara).
SOYJOY Cranberry Snack Packs:
I have tried several different bars that I have received through my BirchBox membership over the last few months, and I have been quite surprised that how much I didn't mind them. I however, have not gotten around to trying this one just yet and will come back with an update once I do.
Shea Terra Organics Whipped Shae Butter Ultimate Moisturizing Body Creme:
There are several different scents to choose from with this moisturizer, but unfortunately in my box I received the Banana and Baobabs, and anyone who knows me knows I have nothing to do with bananas. Even so, I attempted to give it a shot; I opened it up and gave it a sniff, if the banana wasn't the most dominant scent then I would more than likely be able to look past it. That was not the case, it smells like a jar of bananas and I could not go further. I was really excited for this product and was really hoping for any of the other 4 scents they had available. What I ca say about this product is that it looks like it would be a very nice creamy moisturizer. It also looks to be pretty thick; it doesn't move around inside the jar. I was pretty impressed with the size of this sample as well.
Stella Cadente Miss Me Eau de Parfum:
I do love to sample new scents, but I am not a big fan of getting perfume samples in the BirchBox because I can go to any store and get the same sample for free. For me, this perfume was a disaster! The only positive thing well the only two positive things I can say about this sample is; 1. I liked that it came in a spritzer, saved me from actually having to put it on and 2. It is able to last for a long time, which would have been fantastic if it were a nice fragrance. I sprayed the perfume only twice and it took hours for us to air out the house...or maybe we just got so used to smelling it we didn't notice it anymore. The fragrance smelled like a mix of hairspray, soap and baby powder...just a bad combination.
Oscar Blandi Pronto Texture & Volume Spray:
I got a travel size of this spray which is great because then I can try it out more than once, and sometimes that is necessary. I have not tried it just yet, but plan to experiment tomorrow with it and will be back with an update.
So that's what I got in my box for November and I am so excited to see what I get next month!!
Also, another great thing about BirchBox, you can do product reviews on their site for each review you submit you earn 10 points and when you purchase things from the site every dollar you spend equals 1 point; for every 100 points you earn $10 to spend however you see fit on their website! It racks up pretty quickly too, because every month you get 5-6 products that you can submit reviews on. If you want to learn more or sign up, which you should totally do because you wont be disappointed click the link below. OH! Guys can sign up too, they just launched a subscription for men last month and I believe that one is $20 a month, and right now they have a limited edition home box with all sorts of things for the house!!
