The theme of this month's box is: Rainy Days.
The flip side has the info on the products in the box.
As part of the theme, included was a tip on how to spend a rainy day. I received number 10 of 52.
The back also had a few more:
My tip was:
Cute design. Kinda meh tip. Also included was a card with info on birchbox's new VIP program.
I haven't yet reached the 500 points required to join, but the program sounds cool.
Birchbox added a code to the sample pouch this month. Use code MOM50 for an extra 50 birchbox points.
Now on to the samples!
Beauty Protector
Protect & Detangle
Sample size: unknown (Full size: $21.95)
"Best-selling elixir that locks in color, protects from heat damage, and adds silkiness. Spray generously onto damp hair before styling. Warning: Their signature scent is addictive."
I feel like a broken record with this brand, but the smell is so delicious. The warning is real, this smell is addictive. I'm excited to try this leave in conditioner, but once again I have a complaint. Every Beauty Protector sample I have received has leaked in the box. Such a waste! And so frustrating!
The one upside is that if I leave the soiled tissue paper out it makes my room smell so, so good. Seriously though, how hard is it to firmly screw on a lid??
Color Club
Gala's Gems Collection - Aquamarine Azulino
Full Size Sample! Sample size: 0.25 fl oz/7 ml (Set of 4, $13)
"We teamed up with style blogger Gala Gonzalez to create this exclusive shimmery shade. This formula has a luxe pearl finish. Apply two coats, followed by a top coat."
Nail polish! Yay! I was intrigued by this set in the sneak peek video and was hoping I would receive one - I even received the color I liked too. Color Club has switched up their logo, which I am digging.
Sumita
Color Contrast Eyeliner - Jamun (Deep Purple)
Sample size: 0.025 oz/0.7 g (Full size: $11)
"This soft wax pencil delivers rich, long-lasting color that won't irritate eyes. Trace lash line starting from the inside corner of each eye. Blend to create a softer look."
Eyeliner! Yay! And it's purple! My only complaint is that is is not full size. Love the deep purple color, and happy to finally have received an eyeliner from birchbox.
Supergoop!
Daily Correct SPF 35 CC Cream - Light/Medium
Sample size: 3 ml (Full size: $32)
"Next-generation SPF 35 CC cream that triple protects against UVA, UVB, and infrared-A rays. Apply a nickel-sized amount over face and neck - it works as both a primer and foundation."
Seeing as I was so excited for the other samples, I will not complain about receiving yet another CC cream. However, this is the tiniest sample I've seen. Seriously. It is like the size of my thumb nail. This is the only item off to the swap shop.
KIND Snacks
Healthy Grains Bar - Maple Pumpkin Seeds with Sea Salt
Full size sample! Sample size: 1 bar (Full size: 15-count, $11.88)
"The perfect combo of salty and sweet, these delicious treats pack a whole-grain punch. Toss 'em in your purse or gym bag for a healthy pick-me-up whenever, wherever."
Once again the "Lifestyle Extra" doesn't disappoint. I love this brand and am looking forward to enjoying this for a morning snack tomorrow. Yum!
Summary: this might be my favorite birchbox yet! I love nail polish and eyeliner, plus just the smell of the Beauty Protector item alone is worth it. The Supergoop is tiny and disappointing, but love the KIND bar. Not too shabby.
