I love how sometimes Birchbox adds a little something extra to your name… How cute is that?!

And I love love love the box this month!

 

Borghese Splendore Brightening Makeup–

 

Birchbox Says: Light Diffusing liquid shimmer that veils imperfections and leaves a gorgeous glow.

Lara Says: This looks similar to benefits High Beam, I’m interested to compare them.  and this is a generous sample size!

Mirenesse iCurl Secret Weapon 24 Hr Mascara–

 

Birchbox Says: With its unique sculpting brush, this long-lasting formula gives lashes a dramatic lift.

Lara Says: You know I love me some mascara so I’m excited to give this a go and I’ll be sure to let you know the results.

Birchbox Says: Made with antioxidant-rich tea, this mask firms and brightens skin in just eight minutes.

Lara Says: Yay! A face mask I can write a review on… 🙂 

Rusk Texture Spray–

 

Birchbox Says: This medium hold spray gives any hair volume and shape— while keeping its natural bounce.

Lara Says:  I equally want to try this product and not try it. Why? I want to know what the fuss is (This is probably one of the most talked about hair products of the year) and I also don’t want to try it in case I like because of with the price tag involved… Is ignorance bliss?  Who knows… 

SeaRX Anti-Wrinkle Facial Lift Treatment Serum–

 

Birchbox Says: With Dead Sea minerals and potent hydrators, this formula fights wrinkles and fine lines.

Lara Says: I’ve noticed some lines this year.. EEKK… Now I’m all about getting them tighter and preventing new ones so this shall be given a fair shot.

Ok so if you are not on board with Birchbox what are you waiting for?!  One of the reasons I keep coming back to Birchbox is their points system where you use your points to buy products in the Shop. You can get points a few different ways: One is by referring people (50 points),  buying products in the shop (1 point for every $1 spent), and by reviewing the products you received in your box (10 points for each review).  And… 100 points=$10.  So with a little math you can see that if you review all your products every month, you will get, on average, $5 in points a month.  I like to look at that as getting my box for half price!
