Hey Ya'll!!
So far I'm really enjoying Birchbox, but I'm thinking about trying something else next year. What would you suggest?
Here's my review on July & August boxes:
August~
KNDR Hand sanitizer was a perfect item to add to the boxes. I've used it several times, it smells good, yet not overpowering and isn't drying. I've been keeping it in my bag.
Marcelle BB Cream~ This is a product I've gotten in the past, and I do like it (and every thing else I've tried from the brand). My issue with this brand is shy of birchbox where can you find them? They aren't even present on social media. It's really too bad, because they really put out quality products.
R&CO Sun Carcher Leave in Conditioner~ I've yet to use, though my hair is getting long enough to comfortable leave the house without a hat, so I'll need sun protection!
Touch In Sol Pretty Filter Glassy Skin Balm~ I've only used it once so I can't really speak to how it works yet. I will say it's not a favorite, and won't replace what I'm currently using, but it's fun to try new stuff!
Vasanti Hand Cream~ I've tried the (facial) cleanser from the brand before, and I really liked that. This product is okay, feels good, absorbs fairly quickly, no scent, decent price, etc. Just not anything super special.
Arrow Cooling Cheeck Tint~ I've had other arrow products, they've all been good, however I've yet to try this. Mainly because I don't want to get makeup all over my mask if I'm out and rarely do makeup if I'm not.
Would I purchase anything from this box??
No. I like the Marcelle BB Cream, and depending on size it's a good price, but there are tons of other BB Creams far more readily available. The hand sanitizer is nice, but you can get those for $1, and maybe I'd pay $5 cause it is far more "pretty" than the others, but $12 is too much.
July~
Beauty Protector, Protect and Volume~ Love the brand, 99% sure I'll love this, just don't need it yet.
Floss Beauty Eyeshadow~ Preforms fine. Nothing to rave about, but better than some. I did use it once just for review purposes since I'd never heard of the brand. I also don't keep singles, because I find I never reach for them. I plan to give it to my niece, it'd a perfect barely there shade for her.
Luxie Beauty Brush~ I like this, but unless it's just absolute crap must brushes are fine/can be used without issue. $15 seems a bit high for a single brush from a brand I'm not familiar with.
Sand & Sky Clay Mask~ I liked this as well, it did as claimed, but again that price point for a clay mask... I don't know.
Stila XXX Mascara~ Almost enough lashed for a mascara now! I've not tried this one before, but my absolute favorite mascara is made by stila so I'm excited to try this.
Would I purchase anything from this box?
Maybe in the future. I know I love Beauty Protector products, so it's possible I'd purchase that as well as the mascara if I like it more than the other.

Have a great day,
