Yes, I know...it is mid-June and I am just now reviewing the Birchbox from last month. I tried the products but never got around to writing a review. So here it is. You're welcome! May's box was just "okay" for me. I got a lot of skin stuff (which is fine) but some of it was just not right for me.
1. Benefit Cosmetics' "It's Potent!" is a hydrator that brightens dark circles and boosts your skin's elasticity over time. A full size container is $34. I really like Benefit's make up line. I wrote last summer about their foundation that I thought was perfect for Texas summers! This product I did not see much of a difference. Now, remember Birchbox gives a small sample that is usually only good for 1-2 uses (depending on how much you use). So it is kind of unfair to say this one does not work. I would consider buying the full size to see how it does.
2. Coastal Scents' Revealed 3 Eyeshadow Quad is an eye shadow set that I am totally digging. It has 4 colors-2 light colors, 1 dark and 1 medium. I have used mostly the dark and the 2 light colors. I like that the light colors have a hint of shimmer which is great for summer. They go on so smooth you barely know you are applying it. The full size palette is $20 which is not bad for eye shadow palettes.
3. Harvey Prince's "Hello" spritz has hints of citrus with floral notes. It has a sweet smell that is great for summer. I don't wear a lot of perfume since I work with kiddos that have various allergies. After not wearing any perfume all week, I tend to forget it on the weekend too! But this is a sweet smell that gets you ready for summer time. Full sizes range from $26-$55.
4. Marcelle's Hydra-C 24H Energizing Hydrating Gel was not right for ME. I used it several times (not applying much) and it made my skin feel oily. I even started getting breakouts on my chin when I was using it. Not saying it's a bad product; just not a product I will use. The full size trial is $24.
5. PARLOR by Jeff Chastain's Moisturizing Sea Salt Spray was great! I even took it on vacation with me last week. I love a good sea salt spray during the summer. I have long hair and it is often a pain in the summer to fix it every morning. It is much easier to spray some of that and let my hair dry. Plus it smells like the beach! A full size bottle is $24.
Hope everyone has a great week!
Hugs y'all!
