this months birchbox theme was "the september issue". i'm guessing they are going off of the big start of this seasons fashion. to be honest i feel like they had no idea what to do for this month because there is really no over all theme i saw. I watched the september box teaser and i didnt see anything i was dying for. They introduced a custom Color Club nail polish line inspired by Fall 2012 collections. The names had to do with social media which was really cute. I was hoping for the cobalt blue color called insta-this, i may just purchase this online. since the theme was the september issue it came with a little fall lookbook with ten fall trends. i really enjoyed this little magazine they added in this months birch box, i kind of hope they continue with this magazine. it also came with a little "gift card" to madewell for $25 with a purchase of $75 or more. i just became aware of madewell through fashionably broke so i'm excited to have a gift card. according to my tracking information my box weighted .6300 lbs. I loved this months teal tissue paper its one of my favorite colors so i was super excited to see it when i opened the box!
in the box was:
- benefit cosmetics foamingly clean facial wash + refined finish facial polish
- color club birchbox custom polish
- nexxus pro-mend split end treatment system
- twistband birchbox custom lace hair tie
- youngblood mineral primer
- mightly leaf tea company teas as my lifestyle extra
once again didn't hate my box but i didn't love it. i love all of the benefit cosmetics products i own and i didn't know/haven't used any of their face products yet. there isn't much in the sample so i don't think i will ever really know if i like it or not, with things like this i feel like you need to use it a couple times before knowing if it works and or breaks out your skin. like i said before i wanted to cobalt blue nail polish color but i guess a dark gray is going to be good for fall and winter. i got the color "status uptade" i'm assuming they wanted status update but had a little mix up at the printer! i know everyone messes up every once and awhile but i had a great laugh. i haven't used any of the nexxus hair products but i haven't heard anything bad about them and my hair is ridiculously damaged because of the amount of times i have ombred my hair, so might as well try it. i have only received one other twistband in another birchbox and really liked it minus the fact its a horrible color so i don't wear it often. i like that it somewhat looks like lace i just don't understand why they don't make it black and white but i like the color better than the other one i had! i have never heard of the brand youngblood and i don't really use a primer but never hurts to try. and the packaging of the product is really cute and dispenses the product so well. for my lifestyle extra i got a couple of teas, i don't really drink tea but i will be willing to try. maybe i will try them when i'm really sick one day.
like i said before this box isn't amazing but isn't horrible. all i'm happy about is i didn't get a perfume sample thats a huge plus!! i don't understand why they didn't put a madewell "gift card" on the product list but i don't hate it! i will definitely look onto the website and see if i find anything special! i saw in the sneak peak video they had the brush guard which i have heard a lot of good things about so i was somewhat hoping i got that, but they are only $5 so its not a huge deal. how did you guys like your box?
