June Jacobs Papaya Purifying Enzyme Masque
Powered by natural fruit extracts, this creamy mask dissolves dull cells, then boosts skin with essential oils and antioxidant-rich tea extracts.
Ouidad Climate Control Heat & Humidity Gel
A styling aid with brains! When this non-sticky gel senses heat, it stops hair from expanding. Welcome to frizz-free curls.
Shaveworks The Cool Fix
At last, a solution to bumps, ingrown, and other shaving and waxing side effects. Bonus: it soothes as it works.
Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer
This award-winning primer is better than ever, with brand-new packaging. It gives skin a matte, velvet-soft finish and keeps makeup in place all day.
Twistband Hair Tie
This soft elastic gives the hair tie a sophisticated makeover--it looks as good on your wrist as it does in your hair.
OK so here is my quick opinion on these items:
Masque-It's amazing! I've never had my face feel so smooth and the smell is enough to make you want to eat it right out of the jar! At $62 for 3.7 fl oz, I think I will slowly enjoy the sample and then count my losses (or financial gain) in not purchasing this masque. Although I would love to have it, it's too pricey for me but it works so well.
Heat Gel- Eh, it's OK. I'm not overly thrilled about it. I've found other products that are cheaper and work just as well. This isn't sticky which is great but still nothing to oh and ah over. 6 oz is $16
Shaveworks gel- LOVE this stuff! I shaved and tried it and it works soooo well! I love the crisp clean scent that it leaves on your legs. It's so soft when it dries and it does keep the redness and bumps away. 2 fl oz is $11 & 5.3 fl oz is $25
Smashbox primer- OK everybody goes crazy over this primer but if I'm being honest, I like my ELF Mineral Primer just as much. Smashbox primer is a little thicker when applying foundation over it and my face feels smoother to touch but appearance is no different. The staying power is no different either. I love Smashbox don't get me wrong and I use it on my clients or when I can afford it but I'm perfectly happy with my ELF primer. :) 1 fl oz is $36 for Smashbox primer.
Twistband- When I first opened the box, I thought the packaging people had forgotten to tie something up because it was just this weird band laying in the box...but I then read the little card that comes with the shipment and saw that it was for your hair. This band is adorable and classy for sure, once it's in your hair. It is only an elastic band tied cute though. You could easily make your own in so many different prints and styles by just going to Micheal's or any craft store and buying elastic ribbon and tying it at the ends. The price is reasonable though if you don't want to DIY. Set of 3 is $5.
OK so there is my take on this month's shipment of goodies. As always I love Birchbox and I think it's great what they are doing. I'm trying things that I would otherwise have no way of trying due to price or availability or lack of knowing it's out there. So props to Birchbox for shipping such amazing things! If anyone else gets these shipments monthly, please share what you got because everyone is different!
Be blessed always my faithful followers,
Jodi
