Spoiler Alert: February Birchbox

I have not been happy with my past few Birchbox boxes. 

I am still one of BB's biggest fans, I recommend them so much I should have an affiliate link on my blog for them (I do not).

This months box consisted of shampoo and conditioner, an eye cream from StriVectin, a "Miracle Skin Transformer", and breath mints. 

What the fuck is that?

Seriously Birchbox, I know you were also giving away concealers and eyeliners but neither of those made it to my box. 

 I watch the YouTube video that you post every month, revealing all the cool items that are going to be shipped and I am starting to feel like I never receive any of the makeup items that you offer. 

So back to the products, I am interested in trying the StriVectin-AR Retinol Eye Treatment although it is the 2nd StriVectin eye product I have received from Birchbox (April and I'm still using it), a shampoo and conditioner from Bain de Terre even though I received a shampoo and conditioner from Bain de Terre in my October box, Miracle Skin Face Transformer Spotlight (the one makeup product that I did receive which is going to be a glorified primer/bb/tinted moisturizer multi use product) and an effervescent breath treatment by Thomas P Connelly DDS (almost as exciting as the foot wipes they sent me). 

If they would have sent me another nail polish, I would have lost my mind. 

Not that these are terrible products but I was looking forward to some of the other products I know they were giving out so I'm pouting about it. 

This box gets a 4. It would've gotten a 5 but I removed a point due to my crappy attitude towards this month's box. Anything that makes me pissy deserves a point taken off.

Spoiler Alert-October Birchbox

Oh hiiii!!

My favorite time of the month is here! 

It's Birchbox time!

 

So in this month's box, I received a liquid pearl illuminator from Benefit, shampoo and conditioner from Bain de Terre, a face mask from Karuna and a new product from Chapstick.

Ok first, Girl Meets Pearl by Benefit in Golden Pink. I freakin LOVE this product! I have only been using this a few days but I am already madly in love with this. This is a gorgeous highlighter that creates the perfect glow, plus we all know that I think pink and gold are a marriage made in makeup heaven.

Next, Bain de Terre Macadamia Oil Nourishing Shampoo and Conditioner. I have not yet tried these but I am looking forward to it. I have used Bain de Terre products before and have liked them a lot so I have high hopes for these. I do have to travel in about a month so I may wait and take these with me to use. I will let you know how in my update post if I waited and if I loved them. 

Next up, a Clarifying Treatment Mask from Karuna. 

According to the package:

Shiso, a Japanese Green Leaf, plus Ginger work to keep your skin clear and healthy, while Honey soothes and provides oil-free hydration. 

All Karuna masks contain a custom-blended beauty boost. Plant extracts, peptides, and anti-oxidants bring care and compassion to all skin types with a feeling of hydration, nourishment and renewal. 

I will be using this tomorrow night. Honey has made my skin break out in the past so I am a little nervous, however this contains Salicylic Acid so hopefully it will counteract any clogging. This has lots of good stuff in it but then the very last ingredient is fragrance. Ugh. Boooooo. 

Lastly, a new product from Chapstick.

According to the packaging:

ChapStick Hydrarion Lock provides advanced moisturization to revitalize and visibly improve the appearance of your lips. It provides 8 hour moisture, contains antioxidant CoQ10, contains hyaluronic filling spheres, gives lips a fuller and smoother appearance, has a light, silky texture for instant smoothness and enhanced lip feel.

This product does contain petroleum and parabans so it may be a pass for me. 

I give this box a solid 7 (I subtracted a point for the chapstick). 

These are all new products for me and I am excited to try all of them (except the ChapStick), 

plus I'm already in love with the Benefit product!

Until next time kitty cats!
