Oh that's right, now I remember! I really like Birchbox. I don't know how I get so lucky but I ended up with yet another nice box. Not all the products worked out for me, but the ones that did really nailed it.
Let's get to the best straight off - a full size Mireness Glossy Kiss lip color in Quick Kiss. This is an epic bright orange that brings Urban Decays Punch Drunk to mind. It's creamy, opaque and incredibly comfortable to wear.
The next much appreciated item is the Simple eye roller. The product itself is for puffy eyes, which I don't think I have and for dark circles, which I certainly have. Mine are from thin/translucent skin though, not epic partying/sleep deprivation so the product itself it not particularly helpful... But! I was not sensitive whatsoever to it. Simple bills itself as the 'sensitive skin experts', something I am in dire need of. After my lack of negative skin reaction, I bopped right out and picked up their moisturizing facial wash and I am absolutely loving it. So glad this was in my birchbox and introduced me to the brand!
This box also came with a free subscription to Womens Health Magazine. I have read that before and quite enjoy it, so I am very happy to take advantage of the offer (value $10, which pays for the entire box up front).
The rest didn't work out so well for me, although the above is more than enough. The Vitivia anti-aging face pills burned at once, and I quickly removed the product and tossed the balance. My skin is such a jerk. The Divine Oil smells... Divine, lol, but the scent is a bit too strong for me. The Nexxus smelled like hair product. I will keep trying it, but claiming to 'reduce the odds of age-related breakage' is just really hard to test/prove.
So! Overall very happy (as I tend to be when I have a new lipstick in hand). While much of the box didn't work out, the things that did worked out in a big way.
Here is my unboxing:
