Birchbox-December 2012

This month's Birchbox theme was "All Wrapped Up" and it was fantastic...dare I say my favorite one to date?!

This is what was included:

Benefit Cosmetics it's potent! eye cream: Feign eight hours of sleep with this peptide-infused eye cream, which helps fade pesky dark circles.
LOVE this eye cream. In fact, I haven't met a Benefit product I didn't love!

Juicy Couture Juicy Couture: Juicy's signature fragrance is a blend of sweet and floral notes. Sophisticated and feminine, it's perfect for day or night.
This smells SO good! Wasn't sure I would like it since I'm not big on floral scents, but I love it!

Kerastase Nutritive Nectar Thermique-Protect: Work this leave-in cream through towel-dried hair to repair damage from chemical processing and protect your strands from the effects of heat styling.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the Kerastase products I have tried and this one is no exception! It's creamy and smells great. 

ModelCo SHINE Ultra Lip Gloss: This Australian brand's winning gloss coats lips with subtle color. Plus, the built-in mirror allows for easy on-the-go application.
This was a full-size gloss! A beautiful color, and the package has a mirror on the side of it! LOVE it!

LIFESTYLE EXTRA:
Emily's Chocolates Dark Chocolate Peppermint Holiday Fortunes: Filled with festive messages, these treats have surpassed ginger snap cookies as our favorite holiday goodie.
These are adorable...I am going to gift mine to someone. :)

This month's box also included a $50 gift card to Rent the Runway! If you're not familiar with Rent the Runway, it's an online designer dress & accessories store that you can rent from. For a fraction of the cost, you can enjoy wearing a designer gown (or accessories)! I have not tried it, but with this card I'm thinking of picking out a New Year's Eve dress! The great thing about it is they send you a free "back-up size" in case you're not sure which will fit best. Then, after wearing, you simply put it back in the envelope it came in and mail it back! How cool is that?! If I rent a dress, I'll be sure to post about it :)
