OKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK I procrastinated reviewing this Birchbox because I really wasn't too satisfied with it at all.... compared to other beauty bag/box subscriptions. I had heard such great things about BB that I subbed. I liked the packaging.. cute pink box and then another little box- which I will recycle for Christmas wrapping.
WHAT'S IN THE BOX:
Some kind of "gift card" to a clothing site... $25 if you spend $75... kinda lame...
It came with a "Fall Look book" which I found very plain and boring... I will be making my own Fall look book on here soon! *watch out for that!*
1) I was excited to see the POREfessional from Benefit
REVIEW: I'm semi new to make up, and i thought maybe this was a pore minimizer or some sort , but it isn't... it just reduces the "appearance" of pores... its like a delicate make up cover up. It does work...just not the way I'd hoped.
2) Color Club nail polish in Insta-This (bright blue shade)
REVIEW: I didn't like it at first, but after putting it on I truly started to love it! Beautiful color and didn't chip for a looong time!!
3) Kate Spade fragrance sample Twirl
REVIEW: Again- at first I hated this and a month laterIi smelled it again and loved it- hahah my mind hates everything at first I suppose! I think I said it smelled like "old lady" on youtube... it has a very sophisticated scent- i rather enjoy it! I also liked the sample had a spray top instead of a pull off top.
4) Nexxus Pro mend split end treatment system
REVIEW: I loooove Nexxus, so I was happy to receive this sample
5) Twistband hair tie
REVIEW: These work pretty nice at not snagging your hair! i loved the lavender color and i liked the product.
An Extra: We received a "Tilly bag"- which is a colorfully printed zip lock bag, i think they advertise it as a bag for small items while traveling....
VERDICT: Even though I liked the items I received.. they weren't worth $10 I think... a lot of the things in the box were samples anyone could get for free and then I thought the full size product costs were ridiculous!
*sigh* maybe I'll sub to Birchbox again in the future, but right now I'm having fun with the beauty subscription i have now (Ipsy).
