Birchbox - February 2016 - Date Night (curated box)

For February, I decided to opt for the Valentines Day themed - Date Night curated beauty box.

The pink color scheme Birchbox included all the fixings to get ready for the perfect date night. As the card states, the editors put together a box that features some of their favorite products for killer lips, strobing, a voluminized do, a fresh face and sweet-smelling skin. 

Obsessive Complusive Cosmetics - Lip Tar in Strumpet

0.08 fl oz/ 2.5ml value: $9

Don't let the little packaging fool you, this lip tar packs a punch. The striking color left the back of my hand and three fingers coated in red after swatcheding. The lip tar is matte and 100% vegan and cruelty-free. It also has a hint of a mint scent - perfect for date night.

Cynthia Rowley Beauty - Brightening Illuminator 

1g/ 0.04oz value: $10

Another beauty box keeping up with the strobing trend. This brand is exclusive available at Birchbox. The sample comes with cute, gold polka dotted instructions that include quick and easy highlighter tips for you to become a pro Glow Getter. The Illuminator adds instant brightness and dimension while also helping you fake a lifted brow, make cheekbones pop, fake fuller lips and accentuate your natural face shape. 

Whish- Renewing Mud Mask

15ml/ 0.5 fl oz value: $11

I always love receiving a good mud mask. This formula renews, purifies, smooths and softens your skin. Apply a thin layer and use circular motions to spread, then leave on for 2 minutes and you'll see the great results. 

Amika - Bombshell Blowout Spray

1 fl oz/ 29.6 ml value: $3

I have heard nothing but great things about the amika brand. This product is for all hair types and protects, texturizes, voluminizes and repairs your locks. Spray it on damp hair sections before blow drying to get extra texture and lift. It will leave your hair with a sweet scent all day.

Catherine Malandrino - Romance de Provence 

2ml/ 0.06 fl oz value: $3

Spritz this scent on you before date night. Your beau will capture the hints of jasmine, orange flower, rose violet and lily. This sweet bouquet of scents will last the night. 

There is no doubt that this Birchbox will help every lady be fully prepared for their Valentines date night. This curated box has a total value of $36. I am most excited to try out the brightening illuminator and prove that I can strobe.
