Birchbox - September 2015 - You're Beautiful

I decided that it was time to jump deeper into my beauty box subscription craze. Birchbox receives so many rave reviews, so I decided to give it a try. My first Birchbox is themed "You're Beautiful".

The box itself is a bit art deco with "you're beautiful" splayed across the top in shiny gold.

100% pure - organic coffee bean caffeine eye cream
0.3 fl oz/ 8 ml  value: $8

This anti-inflammatory, caffeine rich green tea and coffee improve the appearance of puffy under-eyes. This will certainly come in handy after long days at the office.

Anastasia Beverly Hills - perfect brow pencil in medium brown
0.39g/ 0.013 oz  value: $7

Raw Spirit - Wild Fire eau de parfum
0.03 fl oz/ 1 ml  value: $7

This is a very small pencil sample but I guess that's because of Anastasia's price tag. I like the pencil's texture and the medium brown works well with my eyebrow coloring.

This scene is inspired by the intoxicating scent of the Western Australian outback in the intense heat of summer. I enjoy the woody scent.

tre'StiQue - Correct & Cover concealer crayon in Bisque
0.02oz/ 0.7 g  value: $13

Another tre'Stique product that is wonderful! The crayon is small enough to provide a decent amount of coverage under your eyes. It is somewhat sheer so it is better for evening skin tone rather than covering imperfections.


Salon Gioje - Keratin protein mask
1 oz/ 29.57 ml   value: $6

This mask repairs your hair from the inside out. Use for 10 minutes to make dry, damaged hair look soft, voluminous and shiny. It is formulated with natural keratin to repair the DNA of your locks.

My first Birchbox has a total value of $41. I truly like and will use about half the products in this month's box. Overall pretty good first impression.
