The November 2013 Birchbox

My BB is still in transit, so I decided to film my sister's Birchbox instead. And it was a pleasant surprise!

Lierac Paris Huile Sensorielle Aux 3 Fleurs Blanches

The Lierac oil - for face, body and hair, has a lovely light scent that is much milder than my all time favorite Nuxe Oil.  I'm a big fan of these multi-purpose oils.  They are usually very nourishing and leave your skin feeling incredibly soft.

Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter

I enjoy using highlighter pencils, particularly on my browbone area.  Chella is a good brand that I have used before.

Folle de Joie Eau de Parfum

This fragrance was lovely - with a delicate, faintly citrus scent.

Color Club Dark and Stormy

Birchbox incudes Color Club - YET AGAIN!  It seems like they run out of new product ideas every few months, so when in doubt, they include Color Club.  It's getting very old - I have lost count of the number of times they have included this awful brand, and there is no end in sight!  One of the worst nail polish brands ever.

UniqOne Al in One Shampoo and Balm

I'm always a little skeptical of companies that promise up to 10 (or sometimes more) benefits from a single product.  UniqOne promises everything from volume to hair repair!  That's a tall order, but I'll wait to see if my sister likes it.  She is much more into hair products than I am, and I really trust her judgement.  

Ghirardelli Mint Cookie chocolate bar.

The extra this month was a full size bar of chocolate from Ghirardeli.  It is a delicious, creamy milk chocolate with a crunchy cookie center.

Considering that I am a complete chocoholic, for me this was undoubtedly the best item in the box! I was lucky that my sister shared it with me :-)

Birchbox is $10 per month.

❧❦ Ipsy - October 2013 - My Favorite Ipsy Ever! ❦❧

Ipsy October 2013

This month Ipsy sent me what turned out to be my favorite Ipsy bag - EVER!  I simply love each product, and I think that this is incredible value for money at only $10.  Ipsy claims that this months bag is worth $45.

Buxom Lips Dolly

Be Delectable from Cake Beauty - Strawberry & Cream Hand Cream

bigsexyhair - Blow Dry Volumizing Gel

Zoya Nail Polish - Mason

H2O Hydrating Treatment

For me, this months bag was the perfect mix of hair, skin, cosmetic and nail products!  Just as every sample bag should be.  

The stunning color Mason from Zoya, and the Be Delectable strawberry and cream hand cream from Cake Beauty are two items I would have purchased already, had I been aware of them.

If you are interested in subscribing to Ipsy, it's $10 a month and you can subscribe here.

Take care,

The Sassi Wench!
