Or at least thats what the little card on top of my birchbox is telling me! This month at birchbox it's all about hair and I don't mind one bit. It's been 85 degrees almost every day this summer and my hair has been a frizzy sweaty mess every time I've tried to style it. I was eager to see what goodies birchbox sent me this month to tame my unruly tresses.
Birchbox August 2016 Review
First of all august has an adorable box, definitely a keeper for those of us who like to use these boxes for storage. I'm always looking for cute boxes to put old photos in! In total I received 5 samples this month plus a bonus full sized product for signing up.
1. Beauty Protector - Protect and Detangle
This best selling elixir locks in color, protects from heat damage, and adds silkiness while making hair smell amazing.
Love this! The bottle is made of a bendable rubber and when you give it a shake you can feel that they have given you a very large sample. It smells lovely and my hair feels great! I'm actually bummed because I just bought a leave in conditioner, so we will see how this one compares.
2. Manna Kadar Cosmetics - The Day Dream Palette
Create the perfect summer glow with this bronzer and highlighter duo, which comes as a part of a universally flattering palette.
My initial reaction after opening the box was that this would be my least favorite product. I absolutely love my Lancome duo stick and have no intentions to change anytime soon. That being said when I put a little on my arm to photograph it I was actually quite impressed! The highlighter is gorgeous and shimmery, very close to my skin tone and it blended beautifully. I may use this one!
3. Marcelle - Hydra-C 24H Energizing Hydrating Gel
With green tea, cucumber extracts, and vitamins C and E, this gel moisturizer nourishes skin while guarding against pollutants.
I'm excited to try this one! Nice size sample, definitely enough for a few applications. Smells odorless and feels refreshing on my skin.
4. Oribe - Apres Beach Wave and Shine Spray
This luxe,color-safe spritz delivers beachy, textured waves. Plus, it hydrates dry hair, boosts shine, and provides natural UV protection.
I actually just started going to a salon that primarily sells Oribe products and was amazed at how much they charge for their products! I gave this a few spritz' today and it does help you get a nice soft beach wave!
5. The Organic Pharmacy - Enzyme Peel Mask with Vitamin C and Papaya
This vitamin-packed face peel uses enzymes to brighten skin while minimizing fine lines.
I was so excited to see this in the box. I've been looking into getting some products with vitamin c as I have some discoloration left over from a bad breakout and i've heard great things about vitamin c brightening the skin. I can't wait to try this.
Bonus - Eyeko London Fat Liquid Eyeliner
I received a full size eyeliner for signing up and I have to say I am impressed. I haven't worn it on my eyes yet but I put a little on my arm for a photo and it glided on very easy. It's been on my arm about and hour and anytime i've ran my hand across it not a bit has come off. If this looks good on it will definitely be replacing my current eyeliner as it smudges and gets in the crease a lot.
Overall I'm impressed with my first birchbox. I feel that they really listened to the quiz I took and gave me products that I will absolutely be trying and maybe one or two will wind up being products I return to.
