Birchbox - October 2011 Edition

  Hey, dolls!  I just received my October Birchbox. Yay!  This was my second box from the company. You can read about the concept behind Birchbox in an earlier post here.

 The theme of the October box is "Prep and Finish". There are roughly 20 items for each month. Based on your profile, Birchbox sends each person a specially selected box.

 Here is what I received:

• AHAVA  Mineral Foot Cream:   I'm not completely sold on this product yet. The cream just didn't seem very creamy. It's not thin by any means, but I need a bit more creaminess. Especially as we approach the winter months.

• Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel: I've been wanting to try this product for a while. So, I was thrilled to receive it in my box this month.  

• Number 4 Hair Lumiere D'hiver Reconstructing Mask: Not too familiar with  this product before now.

• Sunday Riley Modern Skincare Juno Transformative Lipid Serum: This is made of 13 essential oils which absorb instantly to replenish, firm and protect the skin. I used this on my super dry spots and it was quickly absorbed.  

• Tea Forte Minteas: These little mints have a lot of flavor. They remind me a bit of Cinnamon Altoids, but not as strong.  I love the container and the shape of the mints. Both are shaped like leaves. 

  Do you subscribe to Birchbox? I'd love to hear what you think about it.  I'd also love to know what you received in your box this month. 

 Now - off to wait for the arrival of my very first Julep Maven American Beauty Box.............................
