I've been doing a little research on some other month-to-month subscription services and most seem to be about $20 per month, but Birchbox (women's subscription) is only $10 so it's a bit of a deal over the others. I'll be writing about another soon, so stay tuned!
Here are December's goodies:
1. Number 4 Non Aerosol Hairspray: I typically use Garnier Fructise aerosol spray. I feel like aerosol cans give a better mist and coverage. I liked the smell of this one, but not the coverage. I would love to try it in an aerosol can (even though it's not great for the environment). It is a handy little size for TSA when traveling this holiday season! My advice: Skip it.
2. NUXE Fondant Firming Cream: Again, great scent and my skin felt silky smooth! I used it right after I finished my shower. I didn't feel much firming action going on and the price is a little steep, unless it comes in a big vat that lasts for over a year. My advice: Request as a gift.
3. Secret Agent Beauty Nourishing & Plumping Lip Gloss: Nice gentle tingle, but not a lot. It is pretty nourising and my lips do feel smoother! My advice: I'm not much of a gloss girl, but if you are, try it!
4. Skin&Co Roma Truffle Therapy Serum: I never know what to think of these anti-aging serums. Do they really work or is that just a load of crap? I like to try 'em and hope they work, but I'm no convinced. This one is nice and smooth but I'm just not sold. My advice: Keep searching for the holy grail.
Lifestyle Extra: Twistband Hair Tie: I really like the look of these. It dresses up a pony just the right amount. I've actually been wanting to try these hair ties for a few months now, so I was delighted to see it in the box this month. My advice: Get some. And gift them to your friends with longer hair!
After viewing the prices of what the full-size items cost I have mixed emotions. 1) Yes! Awesome value in this month's Birchbox! 2) Bummer. Can't believe the full-size items are so pricey ... I hope I don't find a fave because I can't afford that habit. I'm always delighted when I find a great deal. Let's get more of those, huh Birchbox peeps?
