May 13: Got my Birchbox in the mail (no tracking number has been sent)
May 2013 Ipsy Bag |
May 2013 Birchbox |
Birchbox arrived much earlier than last month, but it was much more disappointing. Who puts toothpaste (sample size) as a beauty product? Though I can always use small sized toothpaste for travel, this is kind of ridiculous. The makeup remover only includes 2 wipes, while the ipsy bag a few months ago had a packet with 5 sheets (at least). Again, I feel like Birchbox is taking my money and not delivering on products I can actually use.
Now the actual products...
Mirabella Daydream Lipstick |
Nume Finishing Serum: Meant for hair and supposedly needs only two drops. For my hair it was a little more but more importantly it felt greasy. Bottle says greaseless, we will see if it truly is.
Pacifica Perfume (Tahitian Gardenia): A very grown-up scented rollon perfume which I do not see myself using. However I will pass it on to someone who likes gardenia.
Zoya Nail Polish (Piaf): Great color (in my opinion) but the polish is rather thick. I only needed 1.5 coats, but it did not go on smoothly. As you can see, near the tip the polish got chunky and I had to smooth it out. However, I plan to keep using it because the color is just fabulous for the spring weather!
The actual products in my Birchbox includes:
Marvis Toothpaste: I have not tried this toothpaste, but toothpaste? I am quite happy with my Crest.
LA Fresh Makeup Remover & CC Cream: Again I am disappointed in the size (especially of the CC Cream). The makeup remover is great and I really like that it is also eco-friendly. Sad there are only two to try.
