{In this month's box}:
BENTA Berry G-1 Moisturizing Face Cream, matifying
100% Pure Nourishing Body Cream, Green Apple
Number 4 Super Comb Prep & Protect
Benefit "Girl Meets Pearl"
Extra: Birchbox Bobby Pins
BENTA Berry G-1 Moisturizing Face Cream, matifying
I did not like this face cream at all. It left a white residue all over my face. Not the look I normally go for!
100% Pure Nourishing Body Cream, Green Apple
I'm not a fan of apple scented products, so I was already put off by this sample before trying it. What I did not expect upon opening the foil packet was the striking sour hint within the scent. It reminds me of the sour apple gum I would have as a child and that's not really something I'd like to smell like nowadays.
Number 4 Super Comb Prep & Protect
This month's box was jam-packed with samples with unexpected smells. This one blew me away. This sample smells like CHOCOLATE! It's not a bad smell, but oddly pleasant. It also left my ends feeling pretty soft. I wouldn't recommend if you're hungry, haha.
Benefit "Girl Meets Pearl"
There is so much hype on this highlighter, but I had never actually tried it. I've used Benefit's "Highbeam" highlighter in the past and loved it, so I will probably end up loving this one as well. "Girl Meets Pearl"is slightly darker than "Highbeam" and very sheer in application. I think "Girl Meets Pearl" is more flattering in its subtlety, but not great for those nights when you want to go ALL out.
Extra: Birchbox Bobby Pins
I don't wear bobby pins much and definitely don't wear large colorful ones. The design is pretty cute, but I doubt I will get much use out of these, so I will be giving them away to a friend.
This month's Birchbox was all about the working girl, on and off the clock. I guess Birchbox things what us working girls need is to moisturize; two moisturizing creams (one for face, one for body) in one box? This box was just OK for me. It had a few hits and a few misses. What I loved most was the unexpected smells! This box was just fun to open. I can't wait to see what next month will bring.

Do you like Ipsy or Birchbox better? Amber http://alwaysblabbing.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteI personally like Ipsy better than Birchbox. It seems like I've gotten more use of of the samples from ipsy than I've received from Birchbox these last few months. But Birchbox has a wider variety of samples that go out, so you may end up liking Birchbox a whole lot more depending on what you receive.
