November Birchbox x Buzzfeed Collab
I was so excited to see Birchbox collaborate with Buzzfeed for a special box this month. In addition to the Birchbox Plus items (a beautiful pink lip gloss and a handmade clutch/pouch) there were also sample choices OR subscribers could choose this box.
From the info card:
"You managed to drag yourself out of bed on this cold, wintry morning, even after all the fun you got into las night. You deserve a medal, and this box. Buzzfeed Life has teamed up with Birchbox to bring you slew of double-duty products, morning-after saviors, and problem solvers - all beauty hacks you need for a stress-free holiday season."
In my box:
amika
Perk Up Dry Shampoo
What: Weightless spray that revitalizes second-day hair with obliphica oil.
Hack: Whoever invented dry shampoo deserves a Nobel Prize, and this one volumizes, too.
Dr. Jart+
Pore Minimalist Mask
What: A Korean import, this single-use mask is soaked in a charcoal serum to clear and smooth skin.
Hack: After too much eggnog, this mask detoxes your skin so you can wake up like Beyonce.
Dr. Lipp
Original Nipple Balm for Lips
What: First made for nursing moms, this ultra hydrating lip and skin balm is a makeup artist fave.
Hack: This stuff endows you with pillowy lips and super smooth cuticles. Take that, winter!
Greenleaf
Signature Candle in Silver Spruce
What: Cozy flame with the fresh, wintry scent of an evergreen forest.
Hack: Can't fit a 9-foot Douglas Fir in your apartment? (Us either.) Fake it with this candle.
Mirenesse
iCurl Secret Weapon 24hr Mascara
What: With its unique sculpting brush, this long-lasting formula gives lashes a dramatic lift.
Hack: So you have to put on makeup, clothes, AND shoes? At least you can skip the eyelash curler.
I absolutely love EVERYTHING in this box. I've used amika products in the past and seriously almost bought this dry shampoo a few weeks ago (the last time I placed a Birchbox order) so I'm super happy to have gotten it in my box this month. I already have used the Dr. Lipp product in the full size so I'm happy to have one that I can toss in my travel bag. I've also used other products from Dr. Jart+ (which I was first introduced to through Birchbox) so I'm excited to try this charcoal mask. And who doesn't love a wintry candle and a mascara that curls your eyelashes for you?!
