September Birchbox

My September Birchbox has come!  It's a Saturday night and there isn't much going on.  Or I should say I have to work in the morning, so a late night is not in store for me.  What better way to spend my Saturday night though?  A glass of wine, taking pictures, and blogging.  

  

(Sorry for the shoddy pictures.  I wanted blog this post but hadn't taken the pictures yet.  It's a little late, so I didn't have any natural light)

I like to do blogposts about what comes in my beauty boxes for those people who are on the fence about subscribing.  When I first was looking into beauty boxes, I researched what people were getting in their boxes.  I didn't want to spend an X amount of money and feel disappointed about what I got.  So hopefully these posts will help those of you who are trying to make that decision.  Here's what I got this month...

21 Drops | Focus - 21 Drops is a company that produces blends of aromatherapy to help with the concerns of everyday life.  You can checkout their website here.  This sample comes in a little roller ball so that you can apply it to your wrists, temples, or neck without making a mess since it is an oil.  It is a blend of rosemary, peppermint and frankincense.  I do like the smell of it.  As for helping me concentrate?  I'm really not sure.  I'll have to give it a try someday at work when I just can't pay attention to see if it works.  I'm not too sure if I would spend $29 for a full size, but who knows maybe this sample will surprise me!

Color Club | Status Update - I've never used any nailpolishes from Color Club, but I was happy to see it is formaldehyde, toluene, DBP and paraben-free.  The color I received is great for the fall/winter months.  After it completely dried, it has a little bit of a matte effect.  If you like that, you don't have to apply a topcoat unless you prefer that shiny look.

Nexxus | Pro-Mend Split End Treatment System - I'm so happy to have gotten this!  My hair is in desperate need for repair.  So I will be interested to see how this does.  I'm not sure if the sample size will be enough to help, but it says it will "bind split ends back together in one use".

Twistband | Hair Tie - This is a cute little hair tie that is meant to be snag-free.  If you look at their website, they have lots of different colors and can be customized.  My hair is pretty thick and this hair tie manages to keep it up in a pony.  I like that there are different colors and can be customized because you will rarely find me without a hair tie on my wrist.  So this is a little more stylish than your typical hair tie

WEI to Go | Sleep Over Kit - This kit will come in handy when I go on an overnight trip and don't want to overpack.  This kit has two gel cleansers (you know I love my La Roche gel cleanser) and a medium colored moisturizer.  I tried the moisturizer on my hand.  It blended in well and left a light citrus scent.

As a lifestyle extra, a Larabar Uber was thrown into my box.  I'll give this a try another day as it's a little late for me to be trying it tonight.  I'll let you know if I think it's something you must go out to get!

That's it for this month's box!  Hope this helped those of you who needed it.

Until next time!
