Limited Edition: Birchbox Finds ~ Unwrapped

Hi lovelies!  Birchbox recently released a new limited edition box, full of their favorite drugstore finds!  From time to time, a 'find' will be included as an extra in the monthly box, but this was a box full of them!  I love finding new drugstore products so I was super excited to try these out.

This was the loot!  How awesome is it?  These are all full sized products, and the retail value of the box is over $55!  For only $18, it's a complete steal!  {Click to see more!}

Biore | Self Heating One Minute Mask
This mask is so fantastic.  I use masks that cost about 10 times the cost of this 4-pack that work about the same.  I love that it works so quickly and that you can really feel it warming your skin and opening the pores.  {Retail Value ~ $7.99}

Cover Girl | Bombshell Shine Shadow by LastBlast in Ice Queen
This creamy metallic shadow is so smooth and has some serious staying power.  It also blends really well; I wore it with another cream shadow and this blended perfectly and stayed put.  Plus, in a pinch the icy metallic hue doubles as a great highlighter!  {Retail Value ~ $8.99}

Rimmel London | Stay Glossy 3D Lipgloss in Popcorn for 2
I've never seen a gloss with micro-holographic particles in it like this.  It really makes your lips appear plumper and fuller.  Even better?  This stuff has some serious staying power.  {Retail Value ~ $4.99}

Sally Hansen | Complete Salon Manicure in Pink a Card
I love Sally Hansen's polishes.  And although I own quite a few pastel pinks, I couldn't resist immediately putting it on my nails.  Like my other similar colors, it took 3 coats to not look streaky.  This line of polish is supposed to be a base, color and top coat in one and is said to last up to 10 days.  Mine lasted about 3 days before it started chipping, but if I'd used an additional top coat I'm sure it wouldn't.  {Retail Value ~ $7.99}

Nivea | Kiss of Care & Color in Sheer Pink
This lip balm is super moisturizing and hydrating; the sheer wash of pink is a bonus!  {Retail Value ~ $4.99}

Cover Girl | Bombshell Volume by Lashblast Mascara in Very Black
I've never seen this product in stores, and was most excited to try it out!  I've been wearing it nonstop and do 2 coats - one of each!  It has the results of much higher end mascaras for much less.  {Retail Value ~ $11.99}

John Freida | Frizz Ease Nourishing Oil Elixir
Frizz Ease will always have a special place in my heart as it's one of the first products to ever tame my frizz.  This new elixir with argan oil is so spectacular and does the job of other products costing 3x as much.  {Retail Value ~ $9.99}

So that's what was in it and what I thought.  Did you get yours yet?  If not, hurry over to Birchbox and snag yours before they're gone!
