This month marked my 9th Birchbox! Heyyyyyyyy :)
To start, I love that they are doing different designs on each box. So last month when I got my sample choice email, I was pretty stoked. That was, until I saw the choices. I think they could have made the sample choice itself more of a variety. I feel it was all skincare and no make up or anything else. So I just went for the Tocca hand cream, since I knew I would love it. I usually see something in the guest editor boxes that I love but nothing in either of those boxes jumped out at me. All that aside, I need to give Birchbox a shout out for even doing sample choice! It's a seriously awesome perk and being a Birchbox Ace, I get my email a couple days early. I absolutely love being able to pick a sample I want to receive or a box of samples I want to try.
So lets get into the January box! First box of the year, so I had high hopes........
First item on the list, MyChelle Dermaceuticals Advanced Argan Oil. This is supposed to be hydrating, anti aging and smooth skin and hair. I really wanted to love this product but it just seems to make me oily. It weighs my hair down and makes my skin feel and look kind of greasy. Maybe I will try it a few more times, but over all this one is a no go for me.
It's a 10 Hair Miracle Leave-in Product Plus Keratine. This product works great on my hair. It's a treatment for hair damage and brittleness, which, is exactly what it did. This was a total WIN and at $18.99 for the full size, I think I will be purchasing this once my sample runs out. Two thumbs up!
Another win is the Manna Kadar Lip Locked in shade All of You. I absolutely love they way this feels on my lips and the color is stunning! I hadn't tried any Manna Kadar products before, but between getting this and getting their Sheer Glo in my ipsy bag this month, I am really curious about their other products. Has anyone tried their other products? Have any recommendations?
Balance Me Wonder Eye Cream. I honestly can't tell if this stuff works. I normally use It's Potent by Benefit and that has been awesome. But I think I need to use this for longer to see if it actually works. Birchbox does know whats up because I have dark circles under my eyes that I have dealt with forever, so, an under eye cream it ALWAYS welcome!
And last but defiantly not least, my sample choice. Tocca Creme da Mano in the scent Cleopatra. I had receive Bianca Tocco hand cream in a previous BB and loved it!. This one that I got smells delicious! It's a fruity citrus scent and their hand creams always leave my hand so soft!
So to sum it up, I feel this box was a win and even better, I got 60 birchbox points for reviewing and sharing my box! Who doesn't seriously love Birchbox points?!?! I mean don't they just blow ipsy away with their reward system or is it just me??
