What’s in my Birchbox? October

Brand: Amika

Product: Perk Up Dry Shampoo

Shade: N/A

Price: $21 (full size)

I have heard a lot about this product. I keep writing it off because momma ain’t about to spend $21 on dry shampoo. I must say the bottle is the cutest thing in the world…and since it came free in my Birchbox I’ll give it a good shot. I’m scared I’m gonna get addicted to this expensive product. As to the product itself, it smells ok, not amazing but I could get use to it. It doesn’t have any white residue but I have never felt a dry shampoo with this type of consistency. I feel the jury is still out on how I feel about this.

Brand: Skyn Iceland

Product: Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels

Shade: N/A

Price: $30 (full size)

So the last skin care mask type product I got in a Birchbox was the NERD skincare Mask and it BROKE ME OUT. It’s been three weeks and I still can’t get rid of the acne. I’m still annoyed. But these are just for the eyes and it’s not the same brand so I’ll try it. These are supposed to help de-puff and hydrate your under eye area. I hope they work, and get rid of dark circles too.

Brand: Eyeko

Product: Black Magic Mascara

Shade: N/A

Price: $24 (full size)

I’m really excited to try this mascara. It’s supposed to be volumizing, and that’s my favorite type. I also think the packaging is the cutest thing EVER. It’s got a natural fiber wand. I won’t know how I like this until I’ve tried it a few times. If you want to know how it turns out let me know and I’ll post an update.

Brand: Embryolisse

Product: Lait-Crème Concentre

Shade: N/A

Price: $16-28

This is a VERY high end product. The packaging is really nice. It comes in one of those soft metal tubes. I’m not sure why because these are harder to recycle then a normal plastic tube. The moisturizer smells great and seems really hydrating. I really want to love this product but I’m scared of how much money I will spend if I really like it.

Brand: Model Co

Product: Ultra Long Lasting Lipstick

Shade: Kitty

Price: $20

Ok so I NEVER buy Lipstick that costs more than $20. Obviously, this is right on the edge but I was really excited because the color is gorgeous!  It goes on simi sheer but is easily buildable and ultra-moisturizing. The only problem I have with this product is that it is not what I would consider long lasting. The swatch completely disappeared from my hand within 2 hours of doing nothing but working on the computer. I’ll have to see how it lasts on my lips but as of now it is not at the top of my list.
