Birchbox September 2013 & October 2013
I'm doing a double post. I'm so behind... I'll post November & December as a double feature too once I get my box. I'm also going to forgo the sample size prices too. We pretty much know that BB likes to stay within $15-20 in value. I'd rather be impressed by the contents instead of the value now that I decided to keep it over Sample Society.
-----------------------------
September
BB featured Ruffian nail polish for this month. Everyone received a sample in their boxes. It was also BB's anniversary month. They made sure we were set up with some of their favorite picks.
---------- Unboxing ---------
RUFFIAN | Nail Lacquer - Fox Hunt
Full size: $10.00
It's a good lacquer but not my color. I tried it out, and you only need one coat (w/top and base coat).
Yes To™ Blueberries | Cleansing Facial Towelettes
Full size: $7.99 (30 towelettes)
amika | Blow Up Spray
Full size: $24.00
Yes To™ Grapefruit | CC Cream
Full size: $15.99
Racinne | Ultimate Youth Power Eye Serum
Full size: $32.00
-----------------------------
October's box was about beauty buzz. Their staffers looked for the newest trends in beauty that month and selected some buzzworthy products.
---------- Unboxing ---------
Benefit | Fakeup
Full size: $24.00
POP | Beauty Aqua Lacquer
Full size: $14.00
ChapStick® | Hydration Lock
Full size:
Liz Earle | Cleanse & Polish™ Hot Cloth Cleanser & Pure Muslin Cloth
Full size: $21.50 (for cleanser), $6.00 (for cloth)
-----------------------------
I liked the Ruffian nail polish from September. I tested it out on my toes, and you don't need to apply multiple coats. Just one will do.
October was really good because of the full sized Chapstick and the Liz Earle cleanser that I need to try out. I ended up gifting the lip gloss from Pop, because it wasn't my color.
I do feel like BB is getting better, which is why I decided to renew my subscription. It's not so hit or miss anymore. They really have changed things around.
I can't wait to see what I get for December, but I should get post the other boxes soon.
