Hiya lovelies! I got my
Birchbox in yesterday and couldn't wait to share it with you. I love seeing what everyone else gets in their boxes and usually it's totally different than mine. So, here's mine:
I must say after seeing everyone else's box, I thought mine would be rad. I'm a little disappointed though.
Apparently Guerlain revamped its classic Shalimar scent. It smells slightly better than the original, which smells like an 80 year old woman.
{I used to work in fragrances at Burdines (now Macy's), and seriously only the elderly bought Shalimar.} So this just smells like a 65 year old. Definitely not for me.
This month's bonus treat was two coasters, similar to those you'd find at a bar, just without a beer logo on it. Cute though.
I love lotion and I haven't tried the Kimono Rose scent yet, but the eucalyptus scent reminds me of men's soap. It is a lovely, rich lotion though.
After falling in love with Anastasia's mascara, I was stoked to try the lip gloss. It's really shiny, and a lovely color. It's pretty thick and sticky though. I like the flexible spatula applicator the best though.
Finally the Keratase hair oil. This can be used in a variety of ways according to the packaging. The scent is amazing and it really leaves my hair so soft. And I have super dry hair, so that says alot. The full size is a little pricy at $54. We'll see how I feel about it after I keep using it :)
So, now I want to hear from you. Did you receive any of these products in your Birchbox? What did you think of them?

Oh man...you think your box was dissapointing..wait till you see mine! I thought I got some good stuff but now that I've seen some boxes, I think otherwise. I got the Kerastase Elixir, and it is awesome! I think we may have similar hair texture, currently I use Redken Smoothdown after I straighten my hair to rid of flyaways. I actually like this better.
ReplyDeleteMy box was totally different, but I really liked it. I got some scrub with gold in it that kinda sucks, but I like the rest. I had some detangler, nail polish, eye makeup remover, chocolate, and a baublebar bracelet as a prize for referring people or something like that. I don't know, but it's cute!
ReplyDeleteI havent gotten mine yet...
ReplyDeleteeverything looks great! I love kerastase.
ReplyDeleteLOL. We had the same reaction to the Shalimar and the Thymes eucalyptus body lotion. I also wasn't crazy about the Kimono Rose lotion either.
ReplyDeletei've heard a lot about Anastasia of Beverly Hills--looks like a great birchbox!
ReplyDeleteOooh, you got some great stuff!

These boxes can be so hot and cold. I guess we have to take some bad with the good, right?

Kerastase products are always great! They always work..
ReplyDeleteAll the best, ~Angel
NO I don't seem to be on the birchbox mailing, but I have to say Shalimar always reminds me of Paris because I used to wear it when I lived there. I'm glad they came out with it again because I was looking for it and couldn't find it.
ReplyDeleteOh wow you got yours late! I was disappointed by the size of the lip gloss (it's the smallest thing in the world!) but I like most of your samples except the coasters is pretty lame :/
ReplyDeleteHow long have you been using Birchbox? I've thought about subscribing or w/e, but I'm not sure..
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I'm giving away a $50 Sephora gift card on my blog http://www.l0velindsey.com!
