Birchbox February 2017
This rich gel cleanses head to toe, hydrating skin and preventing sun damage to strands. It has a very clean smell and is a decent sized sample, great for travel.
CLEAN Reserve – Amber Saffron Eau de Parfum
This refreshing fragrance features sweet notes like mandarin oil, rose, lily, and raspberry, but it’s grounded by a warm medley of musk, saffron, and amber.
COOLA – SPF 30 Organic Makeup Setting Spray
I am most excited about this sample in my Birchbox! I need a new setting spray and have really liked Coola products in the past. This weightless mist not only blocks UV rays, but it hydrates and sets your look with a matte finish.
I have wanted to try Dr. Lipp for a while now, so i’m pretty happy with this sample. I just wish it was a little bit bigger, I don’t think I will get much use out of this sample. This natural formula completely rehydrates skin and lips, soothes sunburns, tames unruly brows, and nourishes thirsty cuticles.
LAQA & Co. Avo Lip Butter – Nova
I have been a member of Birchbox since September 2014. This is the first time I received a sample in this condition. I can’t lie, I am pretty upset about it because the lipstick color is actually really beautiful.
Ipsy February 2017
Biobelle #StayGorgeous Sheet Mask
Made with Tencel, an all-natural biodegradable fiber that adheres to your face like a second skin. The #StayGorgeous mask contains almond oil to soften and moisturize the skin.
Biobelle #Iwokeuplikethis Sheet Mask
I can’t wait to use these I love sheet masks. The #Iwokeuplikethis mask contains skin brightening Vitamin-C to help get rid of dark spots.
The Organic Pharmacy Lip & Eye Cream
This brand was created by a homeopathic doctor, so all of their products work to heal the skin in the most natural way possible. On your eyes it reduces puffiness, dark circles, and lines. On your lips, it hydrates and makes lips look plump and moist.
NYX Professional Makeup Butter Lipstick – Lifeguard
The satin finish of this lipstick does not call for any prior moisturizing before application. The formula is rich and creamy and goes on the lips smoothly. The shade Lifeguard is a deep magenta, perfect for this time of year, and even better for days you don’t want to commit to a full-on red lip.
Lord & Berry LINE/SHADE Eye Pencil – #221 Black
This formula glides on the lids without any tugging or dragging. The soft texture is perfect for smudging out for a soft or smokey look! Best part… it is also waterproof so you can be sure the look you create isn’t going anywhere.
Marsk – Mineral Eyeshadow in You’re Toast
The loose mineral formula can be used wet or dry depending on the look you want. The shadow is 100% natural, and there is no talc, parabens, or fragrance.
Overall, I liked both boxes this month but the winner is… Ipsy!
