So, let's talk about November's Birchbox. I was beyond sold when I tried the mascara. Seriously, I can't tell you enough good things about it - and texted my SIL the same day to make her go buy it. The ModelCo - Fibre Lashxtend Lengthening Mascara is not only a great mascara product, but the mirror on the side to help with on-the-go application is a rocking bonus. For $24, it is more than I would normally spend, but I would say I will definitely be splurging on this again.
I really liked the Mox Botanicals Lip Butter as a product - it did a great job of keeping my lips hydrated and it didn't taste awful. The downside was, I hate sticking my finger in lip products. I always feel like "Okay, let me wash my hands, stick them in this product, wipe it on my mouth, and then wash my hands again.". That's why everything I use is in a tube - I can just whip it out, apply it, and put it away. No mess, no hand washing, win.
Hair Powder was a mess. I hate to say I barely got to try any, because I opened the package and then it promptly fell in the sink. It might be a user error (hello, have you met me), but I am going to say they could have designed the package in a more user friendly manner.
Good news for you is - Birchbox included a code for a friend (I say internet friends count) towards Chromatic Gallerie (code is Birchfriend15). Go look around, but my favorites are these two:
Synposis of November:
Woops: Lulu Organics - Lavendar + Clary Sage Hair Powder
Share: Chromatic Gallerie - $15 off (Birchfriend15)

I also loved the mascara and I've tried almost every one that Sephora has to offer.
ReplyDeleteThere unfortunately isn't a Sephora very convenient to my house, but I'm glad to hear someone else enjoyed it!
DeleteSo fun! I have heard of Birchbox and thought about signing up....but didn't know where I would put everything each month in our small house. ;) Sounds like this was a great month for you, though!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't worry about "where to put it", one of my favorite things is that most items are sample size and once I've used them for a few days, there is no leftover to store. I got mine as a gift, and would say if you are considering it, ask for it for Christmas!
DeleteThat is a great box, my SIL got the exact same one and loved it too. I'm so jealous of the mascara, I may just have to spurge on it!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't worry about splurging yet, I'm adding the mascara and a few other Birchbox items to my Christmas list :)
DeleteI feel the EXACT same way about lip balm! It grosses me out to think about sticking my finger in there :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad someone else feels the same way! I also enjoy the ease of applying chapstick in a tube.
Deleteyou got an awesome box! i'd love to try that mascara!
ReplyDeleteAgreed! I know it can be a little hit or miss, but I've had several successful months in a row.
DeleteI'm not a huge fan of sticking my finger in my lip balm either. I love your little synopsis at the end :) I may have to add that to my December bb post!
ReplyDeleteThanks Veronica. Glad to know you like it, I'll continue with it.
