Birchbox November 2012

This is my 2nd and last Birchbox for awhile. I have a small sub box problem and I needed to dump a couple. I chose to cancel Birchbox and Sample Society. (for now)

So far I have been pleased with Birchbox. I just get more out of the others so far.

Color Club- Put A Pin In It

Again I have not nail swatched this polish. My nails are on a time out for a bit. It is a really pretty rose gold in the bottle and I am looking forward to using it. I can always use more polish for my collection.

Caldrea Hand Soaps

This are one time use little samples. I got Balsam Fir Plum and Basil Blue Sage. I have not used them yet but my BB card says they are lushly scented hand soaps. I really like good smelling hand soaps and I happen to be out.  If I like the smell of these, I may buy some so I can use it more than once.

Kerastase Hair Mask

I have never used a hair mask so I am looking forward to trying these out. I will update this post after I have tried it.

Lastly there was a small vial of mens cologne. John Varvatos Artisam.
It smelled great and is now in my husbands bathroom somewhere. He is not a cologne kind of guy so I doubt it will ever get used.  My only complaint is it should have been a spray bottle. Watching him fumble with a tiny vial was just sad and probably sealed its fate to a dark little spot in a drawer... never to be seen again.

BirchBox October 2012

I just got my first one today! I was a little wary about it because I have seen A LOT of disappointed people the last couple of months. Had I gotten a box with tea bags and a Luna bar, I too would have been a little peeved. Luckily, I did not. I am quite pleased with my first box.

Product Card

In the Box

I really like this so far. It feels really nice on my lips. It doesn't have a "taste" but it smells really nice.

I have not tried this on my face yet. Just on the back of my hand. It has a really nice soft feel to it. It will be great for a highlighter or to add a bit of shimmer to your eyes.

One of the things I am looking forward to with the sample boxes are fragrances. I want to find some scents I like without going to a store and smelling them all at once. This way I can wear it and make sure it goes with my chemistry. This one I really like. Often times I like the smell of a perfume but after I put it on it smells like bug stray. Viva La Juicy La Fleur did not let me down. Great scent and I love the little spray bottle.

I am excited about the hair powder. I was even in the store looking at the dry shampoos the other day. I haven't tried this yet but will come back and comment on it when I do. The hair tie is cute. My 9 year old daughter loves hair thingies, so this I will pass on to her.
