Birchbox October 2014 Revealed

Birchbox October 2014

I'm pretty stoked about this month's Birchbox!

I'll receive samples of the following:

• BeautyBlender sponge - I've seen some awesome reviews on this product, hopefully it's worth the hype
• ModelCo Party Proof Lipstick (in shade Kitty) - This was my month's choice - love neutral lipsticks!
• Camille Beckman Glycerine Hand Therapy lotion - This comes in four different scents, I'm not sure which one I'll receive until I get my box in a few days, but it's hard to have too much lotion
• Dr. Brant Pores No More Vacuum Cleaner - Eh, another face cleaner. Not super stoked about this one, but it does have some good reviews
• SAGE + fasten fragrance - This also comes in four different scents. I always like to try new fragrances

Birchbox is $10 a month for a box of samples picked for you based on a questionnaire. They have also started letting folks choose one item from a set group of samples each month. My choice this month was the lipstick (yay!)

Ipsy October 2014 Revealed

Ipsy October 2014 Revealed!

This month's theme is Beauty Candy..

Everyone will receive the same cute bag.

I will receive:

• Patagonia Body Butter by Ayres - can't go wrong with body butter as you enter cold weather season. [full-size is $28]
• Brightening Cleanser by Indie Lee - not super excited about this one, but we'll see [full-size is $32]
• Nicole by OPI in either Feeling Very Cherry (dark red) or On a Gilt Trip (gold) - bring it on, love me some nail polish! [I believe this one is full-size worth $6.99]
• Noyah lipstick in Deeply in Mauve - I just hope this color looks as great in person as it does online [full-size is $18]
• Tattooed waterproof eyeliner by Skone Cosmetics - I've never been a big fan of liquid liner on myself (mostly because I don't know how to use it properly and I end up looking like a raccoon) [this one may be full-size worth $15]

All in all, I'm pretty happy with my glam bag this month.


For only $10 a month you get a great selection of sample and full-size items to try.
