Birchbox!

I received my December Birchbox yesterday! If you're not familiar with Birchbox, it's a monthly beauty subscription. For $10 a month, you get a box of 5-6 deluxe high-end beauty samples. It's such a great little surprise every month! I like that I get to try different products without spending on full-size products. You can see my previous boxes HERE, HERE, and HERE.

Here is a picture of my December box:

This is what I received (description from card):

1. Benefit Cosmetics The POREfessional
Camouflage visible pores with this velvety face primer. The translucent formula works wonders beneath makeup. 
I was very excited to see this product as I've been wanting to try it!
2. Harvey Prince Ageless
Most scents just smell pretty, but this one is designed to make you smell more youthful-high-tech, no?
This scent smells pretty!
3. Jouer
Moisturizing Lip Gloss in Birchbox Pink
We teamed up with one of our favorite brands to create this custom fuchsia shade. Apply one coat for semi-sheer pigment, or build it for a hot pink pout. 
I tried this on my daughter last night. It looks very bright in the package, but when applied it's very sheer and a pretty pink.
4. Nuxe
Huile Prodigieuse OR Multi-Usage Dry Oil Shimmer
Apply this gorgeous oil to face and body to give skin a silken feel and subtle glow. You can also work a couple drops through your hair for softness and shimmer. 
I'm anxious to give this a try! Who doesn't want to glow and feel silky?!


+ PREP Showstoppers
Designer Fashion Tape
Celeb stylists swear by these double-sided tape strips, which will ensure that your party dress stays perfectly in place. 
I haven't tried this brand, but love to have fashion tape on hand in the event of a fashion emergency :)


+ RECHARGE E BOOST
Orange Natural Energy Booster
Bounce back post-party with this tangy citrus energy booster, packed with a mega-dose of nutrients. 
I'll stick this in my purse for my birthday celebration weekend! I'll be prepared in case I need a "boost"!
