I've never really been one to be into beauty subscription services, so this is my first time indulging in this sort of thing. Since I was recently gifted a 3-month subscription to Birchbox, I thought I ought to share what is sent to me each month, then update you guys later on, on the performance and quality of each product, as well as how likely I would be to actually go out and purchase the full-size versions!
For the month of February, I was sent some of the site's best-selling products to try, which includes a mix of hair care, skincare, and makeup products. Below, I will include the full description of each product, as described on Birchbox's site, as well their respective price. So if you are interested in learning a bit more about these products and their cost, then just keep on scrolling! :)
Davines LOVE Smoothing Shampoo - For Coarse or Frizzy Hair
Full Size: $26
This gentle shampoo is specially formulated to tame frizzed-out and tangle-prone hair. An infusion of olive extract—from Minuta olives grown in Messina, Italy—nourishes and enriches hair with fatty acids, vitamin E, and polyphenols. It leaves our strands smooth for a style that’s more manageable, which helps us get dressed up and out the door faster.
Davines LOVE Smoothing Conditioner - For Coarse or Frizzy Hair
Full Size $30
The creamy concoction calms frizz and loosens tangles, making your whole hairstyling process a lot simpler. It’s formulated with olive extract from Minuta olives grown on a family farm in Messina, Italy, which infuses strands with fatty acids, vitamin E, and antioxidants for a softer, smoother style. As an added plus, it imbues your strands with a high-shine look, perfect for when you don’t have time to apply product before rushing out the door.
Beauty Protector- Protect & Detangle
Full Size $23.50
This paraben- and sulfate-free detangler seals the cuticles of each strand to smooth hair and moisturize, which helps minimize frizz. It also provides protection against UV rays and heat, safeguards color, and adds shine. It accomplishes all this through a weightless, non-greasy formula that leaves behind an airy floral scent, and it's 100% vegan and suitable for all hair types.
Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin™ Cream
Full Size $48
Enhanced with a megadose of ceramides (want to know more about ceramides and what they do for your skin, click HERE), this derm-developed cream provides prescription-quality relief for redness, dryness, and even eczema. The deceptively light formula boosts skin's natural ability to retain moisture, and a special blend of skin-repairing ingredients like folic acid prevents cell DNA damage and protects from pollution and UV exposure.
Wilma Schumann Skin Care Hydrating Collagen Eye Pads
Full Size $18 (5 pairs)
These gel pads with 100% pure collagen, plump and restore the vitality around your eyes and enhance eye contour naturally without any scary needles. They will also repair the area's delicate, sensitive skin and help brighten eyes overall.
Smashbox Cosmetics Insta-Matte Lipstick Transformer
Full Size $24
This innovative product from Smashbox Cosmetics lets you mattify any color in your collection with a few dabs of its soft, primer-like formula. Now you can wear your favorite shades two different ways, instantly doubling your lipstick options.
So far, I think I am most excited to try the Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin Cream because I know first hand, just how incredible ceramides are and how they have transformed my skin dramatically. I am also curious to see if the Smashbox Lipstick Transformer is the least bit drying on the lips and if it will affect the wear-time of my non-matte lipsticks.
As I begin to incorporate these new products into my routine, I will keep you all posted on my thoughts and experience while using them! And if any of you have tried any of these products before, do let me know how you got on with them in the comments down below!
