December Birchbox
For the month of December, Birchbox sent out our monthly boxes in a lovely gold cardboard wrapping instead of the usual pink and the phrase "Sparkle and Shine" decorated the outside of the box, which makes it perfect to use for wrapping up someone else's gift!
(That's one of the reasons I save all my old boxes, so that I can use them around the holidays for peoples' gifts!)
In my box:
Eslor Skincare System
Luxe four-step regimen that deploys natural actives for purify and soften all skin types.
Number 4 Non Aerosol Hair Spray
Earth-friendly, botanical-rich spray that gives you flexible hold (read: no crunchiness).
Supergoop! Daily Correct SPF 35 CC Cream
Next-generation CC cream that smooths lines and uneven skin while it protects with SPF.
The Honest Company Organic Healing Balm
From Jessica Alba's line and our exclusive Winter Survival Kit, this balm soothe dry skin.
**Lifestyle Extra**
Fatty Sundays Gourmet Chocolate Covered Pretzels
Sweet and salty gourmet pretzel sticks that we can't stop eating.
I already tried the Honest healing balm and OMG, that stuff is awesome. It has a thicker consistency so I wouldn't think that it would work well as a grab-and-go hand lotion, but if you used it at night or right after you get out of the shower, it will make your hands feel amazing. I also like that it has a subtle citrus scent but isn't overly perfumed. I've been experimenting with curling my hair (spoiler: it isn't going too well) and I'm excited to try a non-aerosol hair spray; hopefully this one smells better than most hairsprays, too. I've loved other Supergoop! products that have come in my Birchboxes and I'm sure I will like this one too.
