August 2011 BirchBox

     

I always get excited because every month is Christmas when I recieve that little pink box in my mailbox! I get excited because to this date I have yet to recieve something in my box that I have to scratch my head about. I watch Youtubers to see what they get in thier boxes... some get certain products more geared to either hair, makeup, or skincare. I am always suprised to see what they curate for me in the box, because I love trying out new products. I have yet to be so astounded to buy a full size product, but its not far fetched.

This months box was all about beauty innovations. It is all about the next big product! So in my box I got...

my august 2011 birchbox

 Anastasia Beverly Hills Lash Lifting Mascara (Travel Size) + Line Erasing Serum

 Ihave used the mascara which surprisingly lifted my lashes. I really liked it. Anastsia is supposed to be THE eyebrow maven so I would think she would be on point with any of her eye products. The regular mascara is $22...I have paid that much for a mascara before, but for some reason I feel with $22.00 I can get a couple drugstore mascara out of that. The line erasing serum...haven't used yet. I do not have wrinkles, or at least any lines I want to erase...not sure about what to do with it.

Atelier Cologne: Orange Sanguine Cologne Absolue + Postcard

Smells like sweet oranges! It is not overbearing at all. A little travel size vial which is great to keep in my bag for touch ups if needed or if I forget running out the door. The regular size of 30ml is $50.00...not bad and the 200ml is $145.00. Pricey for a fragrance. I got a pretty postcard with it to which I will hold on to for when I travel.

Earthen Instant Peel

I am interested in trying this out. I haven't used it. I have some upcoming events in September (my birthday month!) I wanna be fresh faced for. So when I do try it, I will review it for you. I got two packets for two uses of this sample. This all-natural peel is supposed to whisk away dead skin without the use of harsh chemicals.

I also got an extra which is a twist band hair tie made of soft elastic and supposed to look good on your hand when not worn, as an accessory. I don't know about how cute it looks on my hand...but its an okay hair tie.
