Birchbox - October 2013


I can't believe I'm on my fifth box so far with Birchbox. This month's theme is Beauty Buzz. Here's a peek:




October is all about award winners, celeb favorites, up-and-comers and products that basically everyone can't stop buzzing about.

This is what's included in my box this month:


I love this box! One of the best I've received in awhile honestly. I've gotta say that my favorite was actually the Chapstick which is what I least expected. It's called the Chapstick Hydration Lock and it's just amazing. It leaves your lips so smooth (which I love) and smells great. The flavor is vanilla creme and it's to die for. It's a Birchbox "find" and is out of stock at the moment but you can join a waitlist. (They also sent me a $1 off coupon for another, definitely will be using!)

Next up is the Benefit Cosmetics Fake Up which is an under eye concealer. I received the shade in Dark/Deep which is probably slightly too dark for my face but other than that the concealer isn't bad. I've never used concealer in general so I don't have a great insight on how good they can be. So far it doesn't brighten my eyes only because the shade is a bit dark but I'm pretty sure it would work on the correct skin tone. It does feel hydrating and not too thick under my eyes which I'm sure is a good thing. Thumbs up!

Off to the next best thing which is the Karuna Clarifying Treatment Mask. This mask is sooooo relaxing. I love masks dearly but can never really find any that suit my needs. This mask is an all natural cloth mask that heals acne which is great because I'm such an average teen that experiences break outs. :(

Lastly is the Bain de Terre Macadamia Oil Nourishing Shampoo and Conditioner. I found this to be sort of average since I'm not the biggest fan of shampoos and conditioners. This specific brand is paraben-free, color safe and is infused with argan, macadamia and monoi oils to soften your hair. Sounds great and will be giving it a try.

Overall I'm super happy. This has definitely made up for last month's box. Looking forward to next month's. 

Here's everything that was included in my box to shop for as full size items in the Birchbox shop:
