Birchbox - December 2015 - Winter Essentials curated box

Winter is here! ❄️❄️❄️ For my December Birchbox, I chose the curated "Winter Essentials" box.
It includes many great options to combat the dry weather and keep your skin happy and healthy.

My box came today- decorated in royal blue and dotted in teal.


Information card-



Now let's open the box!!

jane iredale - Just Kissed Lip and Cheek Stain in Forever Peach
Small sample  value: $4

This is possibly the smallest lipstick I've ever seen. It has a fresh, almost strawberry scent 🍑 or 🍓??
The product comes out very sheer and silky. You can use it for lips and cheeks but I will be using it mainly as a lip tint.

Coastal Scents - eye shadow duo in GlamourEyes
0.65g/0.023oz   value: $0.50
The curated box includes the "GlamourEYES" color from the StyleEYES palette collection. 
These are a jewel toned green and gold. The shadow has a soft feel but you'll need to do a few swipes to get a rich color application. Great colors for the upcoming holiday season 🎉🎉🎉

eSalon- Perfect Ending Leave In Conditioner 
29mL/1fl oz   value: $3
This sample is a nice size, so you'll be able to get a few uses. It provides lightweight nourishment and is for all hair types. The scent is clean and not overwhelming. I love leave-in conditioners to keep my tresses from drying out in the cold weather. 

derma e - Microdermabrasion Scrub 
0.5oz/14g   value: $8

This scrub has a refreshing lemon scent 🍋 unlike many other harsh microdermabrasion scrubs. The texture is more like lotion with a fine scrub rather than a gritty grain. I have very sensitive skin and I can't wait to try out this scrub. 

JUARA - Coconut Illipe Hand and Nail Balm
8mL/0.27oz  value: $2
This sample comes foiled (great for swaps). It's the perfect size to throw in your purse for daily hydration for your hands, nails and cuticles. Another bonus: no strong scent. You will need to use this multiple times a day, it applies lightly. 

Bonus! Chuao Chocolatier in cinnamon cereal smooch 
0.39oz/11g   value: $1?
What a nice bonus treat for the holidays 🍫 I will save it for when I need a little chocolate indulgence. 


Overall I would say this is a decent box. With a value of about $18.50, it is not the most expensive value box that Birchbox has curated. All of the products are staples that everyone has in their beauty routine. I will use every product this month. 

Stay tuned for my December IPSY review ( for you with ❤️ from IPSY). Boxes are live and mine will be here tomorrow (hopefully)!!!
