August 2013 Birchbox

My August Birchbox arrived! I was really impressed with my box this month.

The theme for this month was Finishing School. In my box I received:

-AveneThermal Spring Water facial mist:  a hydrating facial mist. Pretty self explanatory.

-Curly Hair Solutions Curl Keeper: a serum that is meant to help define and de-frizz curls.

-Jasmine Seven Fresh Feet Wipes: antibacterial hand and foot wipes.

- stila stay all day liquid lipstick in beso: a beautiful blue based red, matte, long wearing liquid lipstick.

-Benefit Cosmetics Trio- Triple Performing Facial Emulsion, Total Moisture Facial Cream and It's Potent Eye Cream: a three step hydrating and brightening system.

Overall, I was very happy with the mix of skincare, makeup and hair care items. I have my Birchbox profile stating that I can't get enough skincare items, so this box was great for me.

The stila lipstick is beautiful and I was very impressed with how long it stayed on. I also like that even though it's a long wearing lipstick it didn't dry my lips out, even without a balm over it. A lot of liquid lipstick are drying, but with the stila my lips felt soft and hydrated the entire time I had it on. It also smells really good. I couldn't quite figure out what it smells like, but it is nice. Beso is a nice true, blue based red. It's a very universally flattering color and the type of red that I love wearing in the fall and winter.

The Benefit items have all felt really nice. They are definitely hydrating and I like that they haven't irritated my skin or broken me out.

I haven't tried the Curly Hair Solutions product, the facial spray or the feet wipes yet, but I will update as soon as I try them.
