One of the many awesome things about returning to California from my long trip to Georgia was that I had not one but TWO Birchboxes waiting for me! You may recall, back in June (seems like forever ago- when did JUNE become forever ago?) that I mentioned I had joined the beauty sample subscription service. To those of you who Birchbox, feel free to play along! To those of you who like helpful beauty hints, there is stuff in here, too! If neither of those things interest you, then be warned: this post is mostly for product junkies. Feel free to opt out now. You’ve been warned.
July 2014:
Whish Shave Crave Shaving Cream- You know we’re all about alternatives to traditional shaving cream on this blog… and I was really surprised at how much I loved this stuff. It wasn’t as thick or adherent, but the pay-off was luscious without the lotion.August 2014:
Ojon rare blend™ oil Total Hair Therapy- Birchbox actually sent me the thinning hair version of this stuff. Thin hair is NOT my problem. They emailed me though and said they realized their mistake and sent me correct formulation of it. I am all about using oils as beauty products, so this was great. I, personally, use Josie Maran Argan oil for a multitude of uses… so, this was nice to compare and contrast.
derma e® Hydrating Mist with Hyaluronic Acid– This stuff smells like walking into a Bath and Body Works store at the mall in the late ’90s. Take that for what you will. It worked. I just don’t know how necessary it is for me. It did get me thinking about makeup setting sprays, though.
Leigh, I did Birchbox for a year- it was fun getting a box every month. You might also like Ipsy Glam bag. But, with Birch Box, I was able to earn enough points by reviewing my boxes to be able to buy full size products. I got a bottle of perfume that I love.
CA- Until you mentioned it, I didn’t know about the review for points system. Gonna start racking those up, ASAP!
