This week I received my Birchbox and I was beyond excited about it. Birchbox to me is like a monthly gift I receive in the mail and even though I'm 21 I still get giddy about presents and receiving packages in the mail. As much as I love Birchbox, I have been frustrated with their shipping. The past two boxes have each taken over two weeks to ship when before it would only take a week or so. It is very annoying having to wait two whole weeks for a package to be delivered, but enough with the negativity, on to the good stuff aka the contents of the box. This month I received five products and a free one year subscription to Women's Health Magazine.
The first product that I gravitated towards was a Cynthia Rowley lip stain in the color Sugar. This was probably my favorite from the entire box. Even though the size is super small it was still the most used product of the box. The color is like the same suggests it is a light pink shade. I will say that since it is a light shade it is not for every skin color. If you are too tan this may not be the shade for you because it will wash you out and make you look sick. Anyways, I loved this product but I do not think I will be purchasing the full-size because even though it was a tiny gloss, gloss is something that lasts forever.
The second product I received was a body lotion. This lotion is the perfect for travel or to take on the go to take in your purse. I have nothing negative to say about this product but with that being said there is nothing special about this lotion. It has a hefty price tag and honestly I feel like you could purchased a lotion twice the full-size of this lotion for half of the price at Target
The third product in the box was a dry shampoo. I am really excited to use this product! I have been using dry shampoo for nearly a year now and as gross as it sounds not washing my hair everyday and using dry shampoo on the days that I don't wash my hair has helped my tremendously! Up until about a month I had very long hair, used heat on it very often, and it was dyed blonde, damage at its best to say the least. I don't mean to go on about my hair so I'll just state my point: dry shampoo has helped my hair my hair get healthy and stay healthy. This dry shampoo has a slight scent but its a refreshing scent.
The fourth product in the box was a shower gel. This was an awful product! It was like using water instead of shower gel. The consistency of this product was so watery it dripped from my loofah and all it left behind was a light scent that was nice but a nice scent does not make up for the watery consistency. Since this product was useless I just used bar soap that shower instead. Absolute piss!
The last product in the box was a serum. It in an anti-aging serum so I didn't use this product, I feel like I wouldn't have the most accurate results for this product.
