What's in my {Birch} box?

  My long awaited Birchbox finally arrived. I have been waiting for weeks for my first box. Not that it actually took that long to get here. I submitted my membership around the middle of August.  If you are not familiar with the Birchbox concept, read my post here.

The box as it comes in the mail

I am pretty pleased with what I received in my box. As many of you know, the boxes are "personalized" to suit you for the current month based on your personal beauty survey.  Here is what I received in my box this month:

• AHAVA  I  Mineral Hand Cream  - This mineral - rich salve softens without any residue.   I tried a bit of it already and it really isn't greasy. Not sure that I will ever order the full size, but this will work for my purse.

• blinc  I  Mascara  - Sweat proof, water proof mascara. This is probably the one thing I couldn't wait to get when I found out it was in the box!  Not your typical mascara, it creates these little "tubes" on your eyelashes. The effect is supposed to be long, luxurious eyelashes. You can wash off with a warm wash cloth and you actually pull the tubes off. 
• Incoco  I  Nail Polish Applique'  - The latest trend in nail fashion. You know how I love a great nail polish. Well, I can not wait to try these.  They are actual layers of polish that adhere to your nail bed. No drying time!  You simply file and buff your nails. Then, you stretch the strips gently for a perfect fit. Simply file the excess and voila' - gorgeous nails! I received  a black glittery pack.  My plan is to use one of my black nail polishes and use the strips as an accent. They'll be perfect for the holiday parties coming up. 
• Jouer  I  Lip Enhancer.  This one is said to hydrate, plump and condition without that tingle that most lip plumpers give.
• Salvatore Ferragamo  I   Attimo L'Eau Florale   The only item I could probably live without in my box.  I don't wear a lot of perfume because of my asthma. I was hoping this would be an exception. Or that I could use it in my lingerie drawers. Probably not. I am not a fan of floral scents and that is what this one is. Will probably pass along to one of my friends.
• Lash Card  I  Know how sometimes your eyes are a bit puffy in the morning? Putting on your mascara may end up not only on your eyelashes but your lids. Has happened to me on a few occasions. Well, these little cards are perfect. You hold them on your eyelids and under your lower eyelashes and any mascara hits the card and NOT your eyelids or face.  Not sure that I need these all the time, but they will definitely come in handy sometimes. 
• Birchbox Friendship bracelet  I   Such a cute little friendship bracelet in honor of their one year anniversary. It's a hot pink color with a little square representing the box of Birchbox ( as well as their logo). 

I must say I am very happy with my September Birchbox.  I also love that Birchbox offers these great little videos many showing how to use the products. 

Did you receive one this month? What did you get in your box?
