I have had a birchbox subscription since February of this
year and have loved it for the most part. A few things I love about it are that
(1) I can try out new makeup samples every month, (2) the samples are small
enough that they are perfect for travel, (3) I don’t feel the need to go on
makeup purchasing sprees every month because I am getting new makeup already.
:)
So, here are some products that, through Birchbox, I have
found and LOVED. (P.S. – In case you were wondering, this is NOT a sponsored
post. I simply wanted to share my favorite products I have received through
Birchbox.)
1. Cynthia Rowley
Beauty Liquid Liner: I love felt tip liquid liner and this one didn’t fail
my expectations, except that its not as waterproof as my favorite liquid liner:
Stila’s Stay All Day Liquid Liner. Cynthia Rowley’s liner went on smoothly and
was beautifully pigmented.
2. Juicy Couture La
La Malibu: I am not a huge fan of deep musky scents at all, and this one
was nice because although it was a bit musky, it was also sweet which I loved.
3. Agave Healing Oil
Treatment: OH MY GAWSH. This stuff. I used every last drop that I could of
the sample. If you are looking for a good hair oil, I HIGHLY recommend this.
4. KIND Healthy Grain
Bars: I know this is weird to be on my Birchbox finds but every month they
send you a “lifestyle” favorite. They sent me the maple pumpkin seed one, I
believe. I had always meant to try these bars out and hadn’t, so I’m glad they
sent one to me cause it was delish.
5. Pixi by Petra Shea
Butter Lip Balm (in Coral Crush): I was a little doubtful about this at
first because I never wear coral lip colors, however I really liked this one.
Its moisturized and added color, but the coral wasn’t a bright obnoxious coral.
6. Smashbox
Photofinish Foundation Primer: For some reason I had never tried the
Smashbox primers even though I hear such amazing things about them. I found
that they live up to the hype. I actually purchased this after I went through
the sample, but I bought the “light” version. I HIGHLY recommend this. Even if
you have a day where you don’t want to wear makeup, I would suggest using this
(pat/wipe, not just wipe on your face so you don’t just wipe all the product
off) on its own or with concealer because it smooths out your face beautifully.
7. Vasanti Brighten
Up! Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator: Wow, that’s a mouthful. Basically it’s a
facial scrub with TINY, TINY little scrubbies (haha I have no idea what they’re
called… um abrasive pieces? IDK.) I LOVE IT. I use it in the shower, when my
pores are open from the steaming water, and it really gets down in your pores
and cleans them out. I notice a difference the next morning in how brighter my
complexion looks.
8. Davines Ol/All in
One Milk: I wasn’t sure quite what “hair milk” was, and I still have no
idea, but I’d apply it to my hair after I got out of the shower. My hair was
definitely a lot more smooth after using it. I squeezed out every drop and
since it was a sample size and I have long hair… well it didn’t last long…
haha.
9. Coastal Scents
Revealed 2 Palette Set: Birchbox sent me a trial size of four of the colors
from this new palette and OMG, LOVE. I have never gotten compliments on my
eyeshadow before I used it. I still use this whenever I need a makeup
pick-me-up day.
10. theBalm Stainiac:
The cool thing about this past month is they asked us to pick from four
samples for our box so essentially I got to pick this sample. I am super happy
about my pick because it didn’t disappoint. I have wanted to try out a
lip/cheek stain for a while and I’m so happy I was able to with my Birchbox.
I hope you guys enjoyed this post.
I love Birchbox, so let me know if you have a Birchbox subscription and if you
do, what your favorites you’ve gotten from it are. :)
Thanks lovelies, Kirsten
