May Birchbox

This month's Birchbox took a little longer than expected to arrive. While I was bubbling with anticipation, Birchbox recognized the delay and sent me 100 free Birchbox points that can be used to purchase full sized items from their online store. That is some great customer service right there. 

Let's dive into my May Birchbox...

I tried out this Kerastase Cristalliste Hair Mask the first night after receiving my BirchBox. I was super excited for this product because I am having a constant battle with my dry strands. Unfortunately, this little sample wasn't quite enough product for my thick hair and I don't think I got the full experience. I didn't find that this product was worth the price of the full sized product at $61. I am still on the hunt for a great moisturizing hair mask

The next product was the Caldrea Body Lotion. My sample came in the aloe water apricot scent. What I love about this product is that it is vegan and made of all natural ingredients. The scent is beautiful and the texture is light and smooth. 

I was also sent a Caldrea Body Wash in the scent Tea Olive Lime. I haven't used this product yet, but if it is anything like their body lotion I am sure I will love it. The scent is bright and refreshing. It would be the perfect scent for a morning shower wake me up. 

This has to be my favorite product from my Birchbox this month. It is the Jouer luminizing moisture tint. My product is in the shade Opal. I was sure that the product was going to be too light for my fair complexion, but surprisingly I was wrong and it was the perfect shade! I love that this product has SPF 20 in it and it is so light and goes on smoothly. It is perfect to use before a day at the pool or the beach because it has just the right amount of tint to cover those imperfections, yet not feel too heavy. The full size product is $38 and I am planning to purchase when my sample runs out. 

Speaking of a day at the beach, this product Supergoop would be perfect! When I received this product the name made me think it was going to be thick and heavy, but it is just the opposite. The sunscreen has SPF 30 and smells less like the traditional coconut sunscreen smell and more like a refreshing lime scent. The full sized product is $19 and would be a great investment for your summer beach bag.

My final product was the Color Club Art Duo Pen in black. This is such a cool product for nail designs. It has a pen top for an ultra precise design and a slender brush for stripes and swirls. While I do not usually wear designs on my nails, I will say it is fun to play around with. The full sized product comes in a set of 3 for $25 (black, white, and lavender)!

Always,
