This month, I decided to do things a little different. I have been a Birchbox member for a few months now and thought it would be a good idea to do a few quick reviews on some of the products I’ve received in the last few months. If you’re not familiar with Birchbox, you should get in the know! Birchbox is like a magazine subscription, but with beauty products! For $10 a month Birchbox will send you a box with about four different products. The best part is you don’t know what you’re going to get until you open the box! (Unless you like to cheat and look up your account online like someone I know…..coughcoughTaylorcoughcough)
This month I was not as impressed with my box as I have been in the past. My favorite item from February’s box was the travel-friendly Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant. This stuff is so neat!! It’s an exfoliating scrub but it isn’t a liquid! It’s a powder that you put on your fingers, add water and scrub off all your dead skin! The fact that it is a powder means you can throw it in your carryon with no worries! I’ve used it a few times and can tell it will last a long time since you don’t need a lot of product to cover your face. Dermalogica’s Daily Microfoliant sells for $50 on their website. I also received Eye Rock Designer Liner. This stuff is weird. They are little slips of eyeliner in different shapes. The idea is that you just peel the strips off, stick them to your eyelids and boom, you’re good to go. I haven’t gotten the chance, or the courage, to try these out yet, but they seem like a really neat idea. I’ll be sure to tweet my thoughts when I do try them out. My least favorite product this month is Jouer Luminizing Moisture Tint. I am not a fan of the brand in the first place, but when I saw the size of this sample I was livid!! The tiny tube is probably as long as a safety pin and has enough product in it to maybe cover half of my face. Major letdown.
