BeeKind Body Lotion - Sample

I have so much lotion that im never thrilled to get it in my boxes unless its a luxury hand cream or something. Unfortunately this is not.  

Chella Ivory Lace Highlighting Pencil - Full Size $18 Value

I got one of these a few months ago in another subscription and while I do like it, I dont use it often enough to need another. 


Paula's Choice Resist BHA9 Treatment - Sample

I got this in a past box, but I haven't used it yet because its so small. It is actually a product Im interested in, so now that I have 2 im definitely going to give it a try. 


Color Club Nail Polish in Dark'n Stormy - Full Size $8

There were 3 metallic color variations in this months box. I usually dont like metallic colors but I was really hoping to get the champagne one. Obviously I got this gun-metal shad. Ill be swapping it . 

Chuao Honeycomb Dark Chocolate - Sample

This is the one thing I was hoping to get! I absolutely LOVE Honeycomb Chocolate. I will definitely be ordering a full size bar! 


Of course I ate it immediately!!!


The value of this box just adding together the Highlighter & Nail Polish is over $26!

I cant wait till my other 2 boxes get here!There are some great items being sampled this month!

Birchbox October 2013 Review


Yayyyyyy!!!!!!! My Birchbox is HERE!


Both my Birchboxes are the exact same this month. :(

The Cost: $10 a month

Birchbox is really exciting. They sample up to 50 different products each month, so its fun to see what you end up getting.


Miss Jessie's Pillow Soft Curls

Im always on the hunt for a new hair products. This brand is really popular and this product sounds perfect for me. I have long wavy/curly hair & hate when products leave my hair "crunchy".


Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser & Pure Muslin Cloth

Im so happy I got this! Im obsessed with skincare items and when I saw the Birchbox spoiler video this was the item I was most interested in. It came in a fancy Tiffany blue box, which really made me feel like this was a luxury product. Ive never used a muslin cloth to cleanse so it will be interesting to see how different and effective it is.


Pop Beauty Aqua Lacquer

I dont usually like lip gloss. I dont like the feel of sticky, glitter, shimmer gunk on my lips so im hoping to find someone to trade me for something I will enjoy. I do like the neat application of this one though.


Folle de Joie Perfume

I dont like mini perfume samples like this. Though, I heard good things about this scent, Im just not interested.


Chapstick Hydration Lock Vanilla Creme

This is a Birchbox exclusive, an additional Bonus product that every Birchbox subscriber got this month. I really like lip balms so It was nice to try Chapsticks new formula. Its a lot creamier than their regular Chapstick. The Vanilla scent and flavor is really nice too. This is a win for me. I hope my boyfriend doesnt steal it!


I really loved my box this month. I was kinda bummed to get two of the exact same boxes though, the reason I order 2 is specifically so I can get different items! -Oh well.

I love that there are so many different Birchboxes each month. It makes it that much more exciting to get your box and see what items you got!


Curly Hair Solutions Curl Keeper

I have curly hair so I was really excited to try this! Its a thin, watery gel, and it actually works really good. I shower at night and let my hair dry naturally, then apply enough product and spritz my hair with leave in conditioner or water to activate my curl and scrunch with my hands, until my desired look. Creates soft natural curls and the full size is only $10 in the Birchbox shop! Sold!

Caudalie Hand & Nail Cream

Im not a fan of hand creams or lotions. I use coconut oil to condition my skin. So im not too interested in this.


Benefit Sugarbomb Lip gloss

Benefit is one of my favorite beauty brands so I was happy to see a product from them in my box. Butt.. I dont like lip gloss. 


VOESH Green Tea Pedicure Scrub

I love pampering products, so Ill definitely use this on one of my "at home spa" evenings where I take a detox bath, deep condition my hair, put on a face mask and... give myself a pedicure!

Ruffian Nail Lacquer

I got this same polish in my first birchbox this month. Im not a fan of the color.

Paulas Choice Resist BHA 9

I wish this sample was larger. Its a really pricey item, so I hope im able to get a few uses out of it to see its effectiveness.


Serge Normant Meta Luxe Hair Spray

I love that this is a light hold spray, I really hate hair spray that makes your hair stiff and hard. This is perfect for keeping down fly aways! 

Dr. Lipp Nipple Balm for Lips

I LOVE this stuff! Im obsessed with lip products & treatments so this is probably my favorite thing in this box. Im definitely purchasing the full size!


Coastal Scents Eyeshadow

Normally I dont like getting eyeshadow, because I have more than I could ever use up in a lifetime.. but I actually really like these colors :)

Ruffian Nail Lacquer

I got this in the color Hedge Fund. While I really like the color, I just dont think green looks good on my nails with my current complexion. Maybe in the summer when I have a glow.. but right now im super pale.. im afraid this might make me look sick! haha!
