November Birchbox

It's birchbox time again! I felt like a kid waiting for Santa all week, anxiously checking my mailbox everyday for all of the high-end goodies soon to arrive. It finally reached my mailbox on Saturday - funny thing, a girl I work with also receives a birchbox every month but she got her's days before I did - everyone gets them at different times!  Have you signed up for your birchbox yet? What favorite product have you discovered?

My favorite items this month are in a three-way tie between twirl by kate spade new york {has been on my wish list for the longest time, I hope Santa brings it in my stocking}, alex and isabelle hair tie {doesn't snag and no crimping - consider me sold}, & last but not least the jouer lip enhancer {plumps & conditions at once, regular chap stick just can't compete with that}.  I haven't used the Zoya - Noel nail polish yet, but I am planning to bust out a quick mani just in time for the Zac Brown Band concert I'm going to this weekend with my boyfriend! I am so happy that I didn't cave and buy the blue polish the other day as this polish is exactly what I was searching for!  As for the super smile toothpaste, I have used it the past three days, it does the job, but I am not seeing any difference with the whitening of my teeth -- maybe it takes a few more days?  Overall, great products this month, I've very happy with everything I received!

october birchbox review

For months now I've been seeing birchbox pop on many blogs I follow.  I loved seeing what they received, a special treat to look forward to at the beginning of every month.  I finally caved and decided to sign myself up for the monthly service.  For only $10/month birchbox will delivery you deluxe beauty samples straight to your mailbox.   Every person receives something a little different, and they always add a little extra something-special.

Befine - lip serum - vitamin-rich lip serum heals and smooths cracked or dry lips.  

blinc - mascara - this tubing mascara won't smudge, or run - plus it gives lashes a sassy, extra glossy look

Pangea Organics - Japanese matcha tea facial mask - this mask does it all: purifies, exfoliates, balances, and hydrates. use once a week. 

Orofludio - beauty elixir - hair treatment with a trio of nourishing essential oils (argan, linseed, cyperus) with  an intoxicating vanilla amber scent

EXTRA - tea forte - minteas - tasty mints with energizing yerba mate and rich cocoa

My favorite product of this month's box is the Befine serum.  I am constantly reaching for my chap-stick and with this, I found it instantly softened and soothed my lips, also added a bit of gloss.
