August and September Birchbox Products and Review

Birchbox just had their first birthday this month! I didn't realize it had just started! If you don't know what it is you are missing out! Once month you are shipped a box of about 4 deluxe samples. They really last a long time! It is only $10 a month which is amazing. You definitely get your moneys worth! That price includes shipping. You also get access to the Birchbox website which tells you everything you need to know about the product, how to use it, and there you can buy the full size product. If you buy something that came in that months box you don't have to pay shipping! Buying things, referring friends, and completing surveys earns you points which you can use to buy products. Amazing deal. Go check it out here!

In August's box (my first box) I received: 

blinc Eyeliner - This product is $24. I've never really used liquid liner because I have really shaky hands but I did try this and I really love it. It lasts all day and didn't smear or anything. It's supposed to just 'peel' off but I didn't really see that. After using this I decided to go buy liquid liner and start using it more. I purchased a Hard Candy liner and I think it works just the same really for a fifth of that price.  

Carol's Daughter® Monoi Repairing Hair Mask - This product is $29. This. Is. Perfect. This could've easily lasted a month if used once a week but I couldn't resist but to use it more often. It made my hair so amazing and soft and the smell is awesome. I do plan on buying this. Well worth the money especially if you are constantly using heat on your hair. 

Pangea Organics Cleanser for Oily to Combination Skin - This product is $28. This is an all natural face cleanser. I really like the way it smells and feels. Great for day to day use. I get face cleansers from my doctor so I won't be buying this but if you are looking a nice natural face wash I would recommend this.

WEI™ Tibetan Chrysanthemum correcting eye treatment pads - This product is $60. I was really excited about this because I have always have dark circles under my eyes no matter what I do. I left them on for about 15 minutes and didn't see any immediate results. Went to sleep, woke up and still nothing. It was cool and refreshing and felt nice but nothing happened. It did come with 2 sets so maybe I'll try again at the beginning of my day and see if I notice anything throughout the day. However they are $60 for only 20 pads sooo I don't imagine I would ever buy them. 

Twistband Hair Ties - These are 3 for $5. This was a cute hair tie that looked like it was tied. It's sposed to not leave a mark in your hair. Uhmm.... it was just a hair tie really. I do use it often but I think I'd just rather spend $5 and get 2 packs of plain black hair ties. 

In September's Box - 

Incoco® Nail Polish Appliqué - This prodcut is $7.99. I loved this! I just put them on so I can't really tell you how long they last and what not but so far so good! This is the first stick-on nail polish product I have used. I never really felt like spending $8 on one thing when I could but 4 nail polishes for that. But I do really love these especially because I have no patience and always end up smudging my polish! It was super easy to apply. If I buy more it would have to be a patterned kind. If it's a plain color I think it is just as easy to paint them. But I do love it and love the idea! Here is a picture of my mine!

Jouer Lip Enhancer - This product is $14. Oh man I love this! It isn't sticky, it doesn't leave that gross white line on your lips, and that smoothing feeling of just applying chapstick lasts forever! I think this is going to be a great winter lip treatment because it stays on your lips so long it will really help prevent dried lips. It has a slight pink color, smells nice, and is supposed to help plump up your lips. I didn't notice any lip plumping but that's fine because it's just so amazing. I will be buying this. 

LIV GRN C2C Fragrance Collection in Earth - This is $60. The sample bottle this came in will really last so long. The smell is really earthy and flowery. I didn't really like it.

Pangea Organics Facial Cream for Normal to Combination Skin - This product is $36. I've used this a few times. It is all natural like the Panega face cleanser. It makes my face feel kind of sticky at first which is weird but after a couple seconds I like it.

That is everything for the past couple of months!
