What's in
the box?
Birchbox arrived really early this month on one of my accounts - I won a 3 month giveaway so I signed up for a second box when they did a $5 box special. I picked the curated box on one of the accounts and the other the microwater.
Birchbox is $10 a month and you get 5-7 items to review and sample. With those items, you can earn points to spend in the Birchbox store. 100 points = $10
This month's theme is Adventure!
This box was the curated one by Meghan Markle, founder of the Tig lifestyle blog.
Real Chemistry Lumious 3-minute Peel - ($3) I have tried this before in my box and was not that happy with it - it made some interesting red lines appear on my chin.
Ms Markle says:
"This acid-free peel gently exfoliates for instantly softer, smoother, brighter skin."
Oribe Cote d'Azure fragrance - ($2) I am not a huge fan of perfume samples in my boxes - especially this size - but this one does grow on you. It is soft enough I can wear it.
Ms Markle:
"The brand’s signature scent (from my friend, and favorite hair guru, Oribe Canales!!) is reminiscent of the fragrant breezes of the French Riviera. '
Marcelle BB Cream Golden Glow - ($4) I am not too sure about this due to the golden glow part - I am very pale so not sure this will fit with my skin tone.
From Ms Markle:
"This multitasker, rich in antioxidants, covers imperfections, evens tone, and calms skin."
Davines Hair & Body Wash - ($6.75 ) It is nice that this is an all over wash - and I have been wanting to try it. I was very happy to see it in the curated box.
From Ms Markle:
"This rich gel cleanses head to toe, hydrating skin and preventing sun damage to strands."
Harvey Prince Hello Body Cream - ($ 1) This is another one I have been wanting to try to see what the fuss is all about.
Ms Markle says:
"Infused with summery citrus and floral notes, this hydrator leaves skin satiny and lightly scented."
There were several things in this box I have wanted to try or already liked so it was a winner box for me. The value on this one was about $16. There was a problem with our eyeliners that was supposed to be sent in every box so that will be added to next months. There is also a giveaway and it came with a code to put in at birchbox.com/sayyes but mine was a save 10% off your purchase of $50. I was really hoping for a bag or the grand prize of course.
