Subscription Box Reviews

This month Birchbox is supporting The Art of Elysium, a non-profit that encourages actors, artists, designers and musicians to dedicate their time and talent to children who are battling various medical conditions.

As with every month there is also a “theme” of sorts. This month is GIVE. Here is what my postcard read:

Thanksgiving has always been our favorite holiday, and not just because of the obvious food reasons. We’re all so busy — with work, with friends, with mastering our makeup techniques — that we sometimes forget to stop and be mindful of how lucky we are.  This month’s box is all about giving: giving thanks, giving back, and of course giving treats.

Here are my treats!

Marula ~ The Leaky Collection: Omega Rich Pure Marula Oil. It’s for your skin. The super high level of antioxidants are supposed to prevent signs of aging.  Full size is $78.

Archipelago ~ Pomegranate Body Soap. A Triple-milled soap loaded with antioxidant-rich white tea and pomegranate. Smells divine! Too bad I don’t use bar soap anymore. I just might have to use this one though.

ModelCo ~ FIBRE LASHXTEND Lengthening Mascara. FULL SIZE 🙂 Mirror on other side. This company is all about mirrors. Last month I got a ModelCo lipstick from another “box” and it had a mirror on it too!

Oscar Blandi ~ Pronto Texture & Volume Spray. (giveaway) My hair is super thick and these type of sprays just leave it a hot mess!

Last item is to “Give”. It’s John Varvatos Artisan cologne. I shall stick this in my boyfriend’s stocking! 🙂

Birchbox Extra: Continuing with the give theme, Birchbox included a coupon to Chromatic Gallerie for me to pass along to a friend. We both get $15 off a pair of Chromatic heels. (Quick peek at their site, the heels start at $88.)

I almost forgot. I got a little booklet to shop for gifts and a little purple envelope to put a little surprise in it for someone.

Not a bad month. The Mascara saved the day…er box.
