January Birchbox x SELF Magazine
For January, Birchbox collaborated with SELF Magazine for a New Year, New Perspective box full of goodies to help you refresh and reset for the new year.
In my box:
Shiseido
Perfect Cleansing Oil
Whether you use it on dry or wet skin, this cleansing oil binds to dirt and makeup (even the waterproof kind!) while replenishing moisture levels and leaving a dewy glow.
Wilma Schumann Skin Care
Hydrating Collagen Eye Pads
These 100% pure collagen pads hydrate, brighten underage circles, and blur fine lines. Leave them on for 20 minutes (and store them in the fridge for extra depuffing powers).
Eyeko
Skinny Liquid Eyeliner
The velvety, fade-proof formula effortlessly glides onto your lids with the pen-style tip, which also helps you easily control the thickness of your eyeliner look.
Chella
Eyebrow Defining Gel
Featuring a mascara-like applicator, this clear brow gel lifts, holds, and gross each hair into place. Wear it alone or to enhance your existing eyebrow color.
Klorane
Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk
Volumizer, texturizer, waterless cleanser, and oil absorber. No matter what you call this award-winning spray, it gives you endless options for the perfect 'do.
Out of these 5 products, I'm only going to be using three of them - the Shiseido cleansing oi, Chella eyebrow gel and the eye pads. I've gotten probably 6 cans of Klorane dry shampoo in the past two years with Birchbox and it leaves a white cast in my hair so I don't like to use it. And let me tell you, I am totally inept at using any sort of eyeliner so that will be getting passed on to a friend's daughter who actually knows how to apply makeup.
This was my last month with Birchbox. I cancelled my subscription and I'm going to give the Sephora PLAY! box a few more months. In all honesty I find myself passing products on to other people more than actually using them myself and what is the point in spending the $10 if I'm not going to use half the products in the box?
Anyways, stay tuned for my next Sephora PLAY! review.
