I got my Birchbox in the mail today!
I almost made it without cheating, but, as the old saying goes, "Once a cheater, always a cheater..." Haha.
I just can't help it. I NEED to know what to look forward to.
:0)
Look how cute the packaging is!
They used white glittery paper and the card that tells you what you got was made into a Christmas card.
How cute!
And here is all my goods.
I got Harvey Prince-Yogini-8.8ml is$26 or 50ml for $55
This sample is HUGE! This is what I want out of a perfume sample.
It's about the size of two samples put together.
I normally try to dip, dodge, and dive away from perfume samples from BB.
I can get perfume samples for FREE...but if I'm going to get one from BB, I want it to be like this.
The only thing is, I HATE this perfume. :0( Waah.
It has sandalwood, Egyptian myrrh, and grapefruit. I'm smelling the myrrh, good for Christmas, not good for my headaches. Ugh.
This was a fail.
Befine-Gentle Cleanser-3.4fl oz is $25
This is a 1oz travel size.
This is what I expect when I pay money for samples.
I love travel size products because it gives you the opportunity to try it for a while.
This is made with sugar, rice, and oat extracts.
It smells minty, and I looked at the ingredients...it has peppermint extract in it.
My picture flipped! Lol.
JOUER-lipgloss in Birchbox Pink-full size is $20
This is the smallest lipgloss I've ever seen...but it is a sample, after all.
It goes on pretty sheer, but it is buildable. I put a couple of coats on this swatch.
L'Oreal Professionnel
Mythic Oil
4.2 oz for $30
I don't know if it's because last month I got an Oscar Blandi hair mist in a 2oz travel size or what, but I thought I'd get something bigger....Hmmmph. lol.
This is smaller than the perfume sample. Meh.
It is oil though, and oil goes a long way...
Nicely packaged goody bag.
These were my "extras." Prep-Show Stoppers-Designer fashion tape
24 for $9.99
Recharge-eboost
Orange Natural energy booster
20 packets for $28
My final thoughts:
I really liked the packaging of this month's box. It was super cute and festive.
I thought the contents of this month's box was meh. I think out of all my past boxes, this was the one I liked the least. I wasn't impressed with any of the products. I didn't hate it, but if I could have, I would have skipped this month and saved my $10 for a rainy day.
What did you get in your box? Love it? Hate it? Have you tried any of these products before?
What are your thoughts?
