Birchbox Sept 2012

I have been subscribed to Birchbox for the past several months, I think since May, but I really don't remember. I know before I became subscribed I was really curious what kinds of samples real subscribers actually received. I had watched video reviews with mixed reviews, but for $10 a month I decided to try it for a bit and see what I thought. I have to be honest I still have not really decided what I think. I am also subscribed to MyGlam and have been since February. Some months I like both, and some months I have a strong preference of one over the other. So here are my thoughts on this month's Birchbox. (MyGlam will be coming soon, but I have not received mine for this month yet.)

First in the box was Bvlgari Mon Jasmin Noir. It is described as "waves of ripe fruit and a base of heady jasmine." In all fairness I do not often wear perfume. The strong scents on my body often give me severe headaches, but occasionally I will come across a perfume I love and that just works for me. This is not one of those perfumes, but as I said I am not a fair judge.

Next was a custom polish made for Birchbox by Color Club. The color is Insta-This.

It is the blue color shown in the picture above (sorry for the messy application.) It is a great opaque polish after two coats. I was really happy about this being included in the box!

A sample of the Dr.Jart BB Cream was also included.

Above is a before and after of me applying the cream to my face. I have not added anything to my face except the BB Cream and I think it did a great job of covering my redness and evening out my skin tone. 

Next in the box was a sampling of hair products from LiQWd. Included was a volumizing spray and a sample of volumizing shampoo and conditioner. As a girl with very fine a flat hair I was excited to try these products and I was not disappointed. I could really tell a difference in my hair. I will look into buying the full size products.

The last thing was a twistband hair tie. This is a little bit useless to me since my hair is so short and I cut it shorter today, but it feels nice and it held my small bit of hair fairly well. 

This is not one of my favorite Birchboxes, but i did fine some new things that I really liked. That is generally how I feel every month there is usually one or two things I really like and the rest is meh. I will be doing a post on the MyGlam Bag for this month when it arrives and I have had a chance to try out some of the products. Leave me a comment telling me what you thought of the Birchbox, or if you also get Birchbox what came in your box! -Jessica
