Birchbox Oct & Nov 2014
October - Fanfare
I'm not sure if I personally equate October with obsessions and fanfare. I associated October with the beginning of fall and Halloween. I can sort of see how TV shows might fall into this fanfare theme, but this month's theme has a disconnect with me. Sorry, BB. A little over the top for me!
dr Brandt | pores no more vacuum cleaner
Full size: $45
Ahh... something that I might actually use. I've used blackhead masks in the past. Mostly the ones you stick on after you shower/wash your face. I'm a bit hesitant about a tube mask. We'll see how this goes.
Harvey Prince | Petaly Noir
Full size: $55
Ugh... more fragrances... Honestly, I've reset my profile, and I still get fragrances. :/ I'm debating spraying all of these on my laundry when I iron...
Jouer | Matt Moisture Tint - Nude
Full size: $38, 1.7 oz
I'm not sure if this is the right shade for my skin tone. It seems a bit dark for me since I'm fair skinned...They should've given me the porcelain or the linen shade. At least it's a two in one type of product - matte/sun screen -- so it has some utilization later.
Lord & Berry | Paillettes Glitter Eye Pencil - Black
Full size: $18
Tocca | Crema de Mano - Bianca
Full size: $10 (according to my card)
$20 (according to their website)
Which is it, BB?
Not bad for October. I just don't know what to do with fragrance samples.
November - Giving
This theme makes more sense. Holidays. Thankgsgiving. It's not a bad tie-in with (RED).
Camille Beckman | Platinume Gold Imperial Repair Hand Therapy
Full size: $20
Juice Beauty | Green Apple Peel Sensitive
Full size: $39
I've used this before (full size version even), but I can't tell if it actually works...
Laura Mercier | Longwear Creme Eye Pencil - Violet
Full size: $24
Make | Dual Phase Eye Makeup Remover
Full size: $22
Toni&Guy | Classic Shine Gloss Serum
Full size: $15
Bonus
Chuao | Maple Bacon Chocopods
$1 each
Uber pricey, but too good to resist. I bought some full bars of these... -_-;
Lots of goodies to try in this month's box. I'm looking forward to the gold repair hand cream and the gloss serum.
