My October Birchbox has just arrived in the mail. Each month I look forward to receiving their beauty box full of new samples. I just love samples! Samples offer a great opportunity to play with a product and see if it works for you. This is a great way to test things out before you invest in a full size product which can at times be expensive. There is nothing more exciting for me that to open these tiny boxes of beauty and play with whats inside.
This month my Birchbox has come with several great samples. First is the Amika Nourishing Mask. I have seen this product several times but have not purchased it. I already have so many hair masks. It always seems like a waste of money to purchase yet another. After trying it, I have to say it is a keeper! It left my newly bleached hair soft and full of shine. Best of all it smells amazing. I just love when haircare smells good, it makes the experience more spa-like.
Embryolisse Concentrated Moisturizer also came in the October Birchbox. I laughed out loud when I saw this sample. I have been thinking of purchasing Embryolisse for weeks. A bit obsessed with French Skincare, this moisturizer is on the top of every French beauty editors list. Although I purchased a full size prior to receiving my October Birchbox, I am happy to have a sample that I can take on trips. This is a great moisturizer. It is lightweight and packed with antioxidants to help create firmer and glowing skin. So happy with this product! I would recommend to anyone looking for a new anti-aging moisturizer.
The last three product brands were new to me. I like receiving new brands because its a great way to discover new beauty opportunities. The Marcelle Mascara was ok. It claims to help curl and lengthen your lashes. I am a mascaraholic. I have tried every mascara I come across and expect my mascara to work wonders. My current favorite is YSL Faux Cils. I have not been able to find anything better. Marcelle was simply not amazing. It wasn’t terrible, but certainly didn’t impress me.
Sleep Mist by thisworks, was calming in the sense that it must contain lavender. It was a nice night-time touch to my sleep routine. I didn’t notice any huge difference in my sleep. The product claims to change your sleep dramatically, which I did not experience.
Lastly, I received a Loc Tati Eyeshadow Pencil. It came in a beautiful champaign color. I love this eyeshadow stick! It goes on smoothly and looks beautiful! So happy with this find.It also comes in the perfect size to put in your bag for touchups throughout the day.
