september birchbox


Today I got my September Birchbox! (on time this time) This month is supposed to be special because they are celebrating their one year birthday! I didn't cheat and look online this time, so it was extra fun opening it! This month's box was fine, not wonderful, but good. I was expecting more samples because this month was supposed to be special, but what was in it was pretty good.

  • Incoco Nail Polish Applique: "We all have a wild side. Eye-catching nail strips are the latest trend--try them on your fingers or toes." I'd never tried nail strips before, but I just put them on, and they're kind of cute. They were pretty easy to put on, but I'm kind worried about them coming off in the shower.
  • Jouer Lip Enhancer: "Why settle for plain old lip balm when you can hydrate, plump and condition all in one go? Right, we thought so." I'm not a fan of any cinnamon candy or beauty products, but I might just have to live with this one because my lips feel amazing! Chicago air is super dry during winter and your lips definitely pay the price. I may consider getting a bigger version of this stuff... the sample I got is so small!
  • Jurlique Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer: "A must for any urban adventure, Jurlique's sanitizer neutralizes bacteria with Australian mint and hydrates with safflower oil." I'm not big on hand sanitizers. This one smells good, and I'll keep it in my purse, but I'd rather have something else.
  • LIV GRN Nautural Eau de Parfum: "Made from sustainable ingredients, this bright scent is laced with orange and neroli. Plus, ten percent of sales go directly to Global Green, an environmental non-profit." I like this! Not just the principals and the sustainable ingredients, it just smells genuinely good! The name definitely fits the smell! 
  • Birchbox Friendship Bracelet: It's cute! I know some people don't like it, but I'm definitely going to wear it!
