Not sure which I started with last time, but let's do Birchbox this month!
Generally Birchbox has been known to have smaller samples, with a few (more than a few, actually) foil packets thrown in. This month I was genuinely amazed at the products featured.
Birchbox also sends a card with their products, how you should use them, and the price for the full sized items. (see below)
Cynthia Rowley Beauty: Creamy Lip Stain - Heartthrob | Full Size $20
dr. brandt: pores no more vacuum cleaner | Full Size $45
Fakkai: Technician Color Care Luxe Color Masque | Full Size $25
Joie: Folle de Joie eau de parfum | Full Size $98
Mirenesse: iCurl Secret Weapon 24hr Mascara | Full Size $35.96
Bonus: Blood Orange Caramel Sweet Treat | Full Size $20
I'm extremely excited about the quality and size of these samples. I think the only thing I might not use is the pore vacuum cleaner, but that's only because I have pretty good skin and don't tend to use products like that. Otherwise, this was an amazing box! I think it's my favorite I've gotten from Birchbox so far. (I believe this is my 3rd or 4th box.)
Now to ipsy!
First and foremost - I nearly squealed when I saw I got something from Tarte! Especially because I knew what this was before I even read the packaging!
In this bag I received:
Tarte: Maracuja Oil - I know the full size of this at Ulta runs $50+
Be a Bombshell: Eyeshadow Base (not sure of color)
Pixie Dust: Roll on perfume oil
SeraRx: Micro-dermabrasion Face and Body Scrub
J.Cat: Wonder Lip Paint in Red Potion
On the inside of this bag, there is a label that says "Forever 21 Cosmetics." I'm not sure if the bag itself is from Forever, or if they collabed with them for some samples this month.
I love the color of the eyeshadow base, it's a beautiful soft nude/gold. The perfume oil isn't my favorite of scents, but it isn't terrible. I probably won't use the lip paint, just because I tend to steer clear of the dark lip (maybe someday I will get into it!) I can't wait to use the Maracuja Oil too. Hopefully it won't disappoint after all the good things I've heard about it!
What goodies did you get in your bag/boxes this month?
XOXO,
E
