Woo hoo! Birchbox is here baby! Due to my late subscription I wasn't able to partake in the sample choice options so I'm hoping for a great curated box instead. This month is all about giving. Here's a peek:

Birchbox teamed up with RED this month which is perfect considering that it's November which is all about giving, supporting, and sharing with others. 

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

Very interesting I indeed must say.

A firecracker ChocoPod. Yeah I don't think I'm up for such an adventure. Salt, chipotle, and popping candy. No way! Haha, I think I'll pass this on to a friend because I'm not sure my tastebuds can handle it.

I've tried Klorane dry shampoo before and I've noticed the white residue it left behind on my hair so I'm pretty happy that there is now one for brunettes! It works with my almost black hair but honestly I'm still not getting the hang of what dry shampoo is actually suppose to do. Doesn't seem too effective for me but maybe I'm just using it wrong.

I remember trying Gilchrist & Soames lotion before from Birchbox in the past and I didn't mind it too much. This sample size is nice enough to keep in my backpack so it was a great addition!

The Juice Beauty peel is not a disappointment I just really wish the sample size was slightly bigger for more uses since I absolutely love skincare products.

Now I am familiar with COOLA suncare products so receiving this sunscreen was awesome until I realized that it was tinted. Not only is it tinted but the tint is in a shade that's awfully light for my complexion.

Last but not least is the ModelCo Party Proof matte lipstick. I received it in a nude shade called "Get Naked" and it's not the greatest shade of all as I prefer reds and pinks but maybe I'll adjust.

Overall it wasn't a completely horrible Birchbox but the WOW factor wasn't there. I'm surely looking forward to next month so that I'll have the opportunity to choose a sample. I can't wait! 

Pictured above is a cool gifting booklet that Birchbox has put together for the holiday. It has some pretty neat stuff in it which is also available online so head on over and check them out!

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