October Birchbox

I know that this is very delayed but in my defense, so was my Birchbox. I got a notice one day that there was a delay and they felt so bad that they were giving me 100 points on my account just because. That's equal to $10. I forgive them for being late.
This month's box was about average. Here's what I got:

A Luna Fiber bar. I think I've gotten a Luna bar of some kind before and I generally like them. I liked that this one has more fiber but I wasn't in love with the flavor. It was still a nice, quick breakfast on the run so if I find these on sale somewhere, I'd likely pick up a few to have around the house.

Supergoop City Sunscreen Serum. I haven't tried this one yet. I honestly forgot I had it for the last two weeks. It is described as an award-winning silky SPF 30 serum to wear under your makeup for a weightless UV shield. Sounds good to me. I'll be sure to test it out shortly.

La Fresh Eco-Beauty Acetone-Free Nail Polish Remover. I got two of these packets that each contain one pad. The package claims that one pad will clean and condition all 10 nails. I was skeptical that it would actually work well on the dark nail polish I prefer in the fall and winter. But, it really worked! It smelled nice and didn't dry out my nails the way regular polish remover does. Each packet ends up being about $0.50 so it's not as cheap as the bottles of stuff. But they would be really handy for traveling and might be worth it to take better care of my nails. I think this was my favorite find of the box.

Sprout Lip Balm. This is an organic lip balm made with coconut butter and I got the Cocoa 'flavor'. While I do love the feeling of this I'm not crazy about the cocoa flavor. I'll use it up because it's almost winter and I go through lip stuff like it's my job this time of year.

theBalm cosmetics Mary-Lou Manizer. This is a three-in-one highlighter, shadow and all-over shimmer. This is one of those products that I don't use all that often but it's nice to have a sample or two for when I do want a little extra shimmer in my day.

So, there you have it. Stay tuned for a very exciting blog series that I will be working on for the rest of November!
