I've had a Birchbox subscription for about 7 months now. Its always exciting to see what the box will look like for that month and what your samples are going to be like. I'm always about 50/50 on my box, I get some good things and then others I give away if I am not interested in the product. Its always hit or miss and to me thats the fun part!
I love seeing posts from other Birchbox subscribers about what was in their Birchbox that month and what products they were loving or hating as well. I really think the actual box is my favorite part. They are always so brightly colored and fun. I have a collection of my boxes in our bedroom, not sure what I am going to do with them yet but I'll figure that out.
Here is what was in my February Birchbox and my thoughts on the products.. the good and the bad!
Malin+Goetz Clarifying clay Mask- LOVE THIS! I can be pretty picking when it comes to masks. I have tried the best of the best and I have high standards when comparing masks. So when I say something is good then it really is worth spending the time and money on. I've gotten 2 uses out of the sample and I think that is pretty decent. The mask is light and dries on your skin in 10 minutes. What I love is you can't really tell when its dry without touching it.. Your aren't going to feel that cracky feeling like some masks make you feel when they dry. Great for exfoliation and leaves your skin looking refreshed and pretty. No harsh smell either thats an A+
Coola Tinted Matte SPF30 for Face- I'm skeptical I give this about a C. I really didn't find that it evened my skin tone or gave me face a matte finish. I wouldn't switch by BB cream that I currently use for this product. Overall I haven't been a fan of any Coola products.
Juara Candlenut Body Creme- YUM! This moisturizer smells amazing! Very fresh spring/summer scent that lasts on your skin. Absorbs quick without leaving oily residue. A+ I am going to be purchasing the full size!
Klorane Tinted Dry Shampoo for brunettes- No Thank you... This product make my hair feel dry and flat and I swear you could see the residue left behind from the product. I couldn't wash this out of my hair fast enough...kind of defeats the purpose of dry shampoo. I would rather my hair look Oily then have everyone be able to see the specks from my dry shampoo. Sorry this is very honest. Living Proof has the best Dry Shampoo!
ModelCo Lip Enhancer Illusion Lip Liner- I am on the fence about this product also. The color was a very pretty wearable pink and looked very natural. However I thought the product was a little rough.. at first I put it on and it scraped my lips a bit. I thought if I wore it down then it would soften up a bit. Wrong.. I really want to like this product and I think that I do and I would purchase it if they either changed the formula or the packaging.
* All these products can be purchased directly from the Birchbox website * Birchbox
I rate this Birchbox 2.5/5 maybe throw in another .5 of a point because the box was so cute. Can't wait for March!
