Here’s what I got this month:
- Color Club Custom Nail Polish: Birchbox teamed up with Color Club to make custom shades for the fall 2012 collection. I got a cool gunmetal grey shade that I really like. I find Color club polishes to be hit or miss, they are weirdly matte but this one is just right and a decent shade.
- Nexxus Pro-Mend Split End Treatment System: I haven’t used this sample pack yet, so I have no review just yet. This is a good pack though, it comes with shampoo, conditioner, and a leave-in treatment to repair split ends. It’s infused with amino acids and coconut oil which I love.
- Twistband: This is a lace “ouchless” hair tie. I find these ties great for working out, they hold tight without pulling out or snagging your hair.
- Vasanti Brighten Up! Enzymatic Face Rejuvinator: This exfoliating cleanser boasts papaya enzymes and microderm crystals to brighten the skin. I love this cleanser! The crystals are blended so finely, it doesn’t irritate or scratch the skin. Amazing!
- Youngblood Mineral Primer: this clear gel primer goes on so smooth and makes skin feel baby soft. I normally don’t use primers but this is really nice.
- Lifestyle Extra: I got a nice packet of teas from the Mighty Leaf Tea Company. I love tea so these are great. This month’s birchbox also came with a cool fall look book full of beauty tips.
