Hello fellow Earthlings!
It's finally time to do my January Birchbox and throw in December's since I completely forgot! To fill anyone in who doesn't know what birchbox is, it's a subscription service that sends you samples each month for $10. You can go to their site and review the products you've received to gain points that you can use towards full size products. You can click here to find out more information about their site and service.
Lets start with December's box!
My first sample product was Yu-Be Moisturizing Cream. It says it's a Japanese moisturizing cream that's an all purpose cream. For me personally, I didn't get along with this product. It was just okay and I didn't feel like it was doing all that much.
Next was Sumita Color Contrast Eyeliner in Olive Green. I've gotten their eyeliner in black from a previous box and was really excited to see it again. It glides incredibly well over the skin and stays pretty well.
I also got a sample Manna Kadar Lip Lock in All of Me. Their product is said to be a primer, stain and gloss. Again not highly impressed, but it was a gloss and that's why. I also wasn't impressed but the staining power.
My favorite product in this box was Rusk Texture Spray. I will admit there is some trial and error with this product, but once you figure it out this stuff is absolutely amazing. I can get so much texture and volume out of this with just a small amount of product.
Last product for December's box is Royal Apothic Cuppa Cuppa Firming Tea Treatment Mask. It's a clay mask with different exotic teas in it. I haven't used this yet because my skin has been rebelling and since I have slightly sensitive skin I didn't want to upset it anymore.
Now the newest birchbox! It's time for January's!
First product was Dr Jart+ Premium Beauty Balm SPF 45. I've gotten their dis-a-pore bb cream once before in a beauty box and I must say I was more impressed by the dis-a-pore cream. The premium BB cream barely evened out my skin (and I was having a pretty decent skin day when I tried this). It also melted off my face even though I set it with powder. Maybe it's something to try on a different day.
Second product was theBalm Stainiac in Beauty Queen. It's a magenta pink and I loved the idea of this stain. Unfortunately I hated the color. It's a light stain that can be built up, but with my fair complexion, the color wasn't the greatest. Looking back on bichbox's website I do see they have two other colors that I'd consider trying out.
Next was Whish Three Wishes Body Butter in Lavender. It's an okay body butter that smells amazing and is going to be good when I run out of a lotion in my purse. I'm just sick of getting lotions in my boxes because it takes me so long to use lotion that I have a collection at this point.
The next product is Nelson J Beverly Hills Argan Oil 7 Moisture Healing Mask. That's a mouthful for a product name. My scent I got was coconut and it smells amazing. I'm excited to use this product because my hair feels like it needs some help this week. It says it turns straw-like strands into manageable locks after one use.
The last product in this box was one the excited me and scared me. That was When Travelmate Sheet Mask. It's a Korean brand which is what I was mainly excited for. When I opened this to use it, I was completely surprised that it was a silicone type mask instead of the paper/clothe ones that I've always used. When on your face, it really sticks so you don't have to sit in one place (which I really appreciated), but when I looked in a mirror I felt that I looked like one of those blob fish that you see pop up on twitter as the ugliest fish ever. If it wasn't for the price of these ($28 for 4 masks, yikes) I would continuously purchase these. It made my skin so hydrated and it felt lovely.
That's it for my two birchboxs! I hope you found what I got interesting and I'd love to hear what you've been getting in your boxes!
