First off, let me say that it is sad that my husband has quickly noticed how excited I get over the small cardboard box that shows up once a month. He knew I was having a bad day and told me there was something on the kitchen counter to cheer me up. Hello October box!!
The Holly review
- Folle de Joie perfume – doesn’t stink, doesn’t smell great. I don’t think it had much staying power either. I surely won’t be spending $98 to stock up on this one.
- Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish Cleaner and Muslim Cloth – I tried this in the bathtub last night and found it refreshing. The cloth definitely worked better than my standard washcloth. My skin felt cleaner after a good washing. If it happens to help these darn breakouts I have been having, I would be willing to splurge on the $21.50 price tag.
- Miss Jessie’s Pillow Soft Curls – Hello big ole curls. Used in conjunction with my other products (gel, mousse, hairspray…..I have a ton of frizzy hair), this product seemed to work well. I didn’t notice a huge difference between my current styling crème so I doubt I switch, but still a good product.
- POP Beauty Aqua Lacquer – this is where I think Birchbox needs an upgrade. I REFUSE to wear lipstick or lip gloss. I would rather saw my lips off with a dull knife than coat them in colored goo. I plan to pass this along to a friend, but for me personally, I wish I could opt out of colored lip stuff.
- ChapStick 8 hour moisture Hydration Lock – They throw a mass market item in occasionally and this one was a huge hit with me. Please note that Chapstick does not fall into the same goo category as I ranted about above. I really like this product and will definitely buy it again.
Overall, October made me happy. My lips are moisturized, my curls are bouncy and my face is a little cleaner. In a few weeks, I’ll be stalking the mailbox again =)
