November Birchbox

Hello Fellow Earthlings!

Once again it's time for my monthly Birchbox! I will say that this months birchbox is probably my favorite I've gotten so far. To update those who don't know, Birchbox is a monthly box for $10USD a month that sends five samples plus a bonus lifestyle sample. No boxes are completely the same because you can customize them depending on what you personally enjoy. I believe I have every option open because I just love testing new products. You can leave reviews on products you've tested to earn points, which can then be put towards full size products on their site. Check out Birchbox.com for more information on this boxes!

Okay first product on the list in Bain de Terre argan oil & passion flower Color Therapy Styling Oil. It's an essential oil that nourishes your hair and adds shine. Full size product is $14. This is a product that I'm excited for. I love hair serums to keep the wildness at bay. Bonus: It smells amazing.

Up next is Eslor Firming Collagon Day Cream. The info card the box comes with says this day cream boosts elasticity and keeps wrinkles at bay. The sample is a surpisingly good amount at .34oz. Full Size is 1.7oz and will cost you $85. Since I not really looking a day cream that is meant to keep wrinkles to a minimum, as long as it's moisturizing I'll use it. If anything I can try passing this along to my mom. Although I can see her taking that as an insult.....

Back to the box! I got another perfume in this box. This time it's Jolie's Folle de Joie eau de Parfum. That sure is a mouth full. The scent is blends of mandarin, rose, and sandalwood. Full size of this product is $98. Sadly I'm so sick of perfume samples, I probably won't use this for awhile, but I must say it's the best smelling one I've used in a while. I could even throw it in my purse in hopes I use it.

Also found in the box is Not Soap, Radio's Joy Inducing Body Wash. Full size is $16 and it's a lemon scented wash that smells amazing. I'm so excited to use this. It's a very natural smelling lemon so it in no way smells like lemon pledge or any other gross lemon smelling cleaning product.

The last sample product is theBalm cosmetics Cindy-Lou Manizer. Oh this product. I can fully say this is the best sample I've gotten in my box so far. I already owned their Mary-Lou Manizer which is a champagne highlighter I love using on my brow bone and inner corner of my eye. I usually didn't use it on my cheeks because I felt it was too shimmery for me there. The Cindy-Lou Manizer is theBalm's soft pink highlight. This is actually perfect for my cheeks. With my fair skin, it gives the look of just walking outside in the brisk cold morning. I've even used this as an eyeshadow when I forgot mine and it was gorgeous. Full size of this product is $24 and definitely on my to buy list!

My Bonus Lifestyle sample was Dang's Coconut Chips. Birchbox sells a pack of 6 for $18. It's basically coconut meat dried out, but these were so dang delicious my fiancĂ© and I went to the website to see where they were sold. The day after I got my box, we went to the closest Whole Foods and picked up their original and Caramel Sea Salt flavor. They have only three ingredients and are the best thing I've ever snacked on. If you're interested click here to see which stores carry them.

That's everything in my box! I hope you enjoyed seeing what I got in my box and I'd love to hear what products you'd be excited to try or what you received in your November Birchbox. I can't wait until next month's box now!
