December Birchbox Review

[Tocca Lotion, Lulu Organics Hair Powder, twistband Neon Hair Tie, Secret Agent Beauty Lip Gloss/Plumper, Grand Central Beauty Skin Polisher]

S.M.A.R.T Skin Perfecting Polisher: I definitely like this product a lot.  It is true to what is advertised - it is perfect for on-the-go list.  I felt like my face still was moisturized but had the toned, fresh feeling I get from peels and toner.  

Lavender + Clary Sage Hair Powder: I LOVE THIS POWDER.  I tend to use the normal run of the mill brands when I use dry shampoo (which is completely necessary for me - my hair has more oil than Greece.. ugh) but by the end of the day, my hair just can't mask the "I didn't wash my hair today" look (and may I remind those who judge - it's unhealthy for your hair to wash it daily).  Those run of the mill powders tend to make my hair look gray for the first 2 hours, but this one blended right in.  IT IS AWESOME.

Nourishing & Plumping Lip Gloss in Foreign Intelligence Flirt: I put this on it's own and with some chapstick as base and it definitely looks pretty.  I love the color.  I did feel the tingling (not like snake venom, though) but didn't really notice a plump.  Can you notice a plump on naturally thin lips though?  I don't know, but if you're looking for a plumping gloss, maybe you should move along.  If you're looking for an awesome color gloss that doesn't have that goopy gloss feeling?  This is definitely a pick.

Crema da Mano in Cleopatra: Speaking of oil... don't you hate when you use just a dollop of lotion and it looks like you have Crisco on your hands?  Not with this!  It still gives the moisturizing you crave without the oily look.  I also love that it's super natural.

Printed Hair Tie: How fun is this hair tie?  I love these ties (thank you to whoever started that trend) and appreciate some neon fun in my life.

Pick of the Month: I can't even begin to think which one would be my number one. I would definitely buy all of these.  Birchbox definitely hit a triple if not homerun with this one.  So I'll play the elimination game - I already have plenty of hair ties & lotion, however will definitely be looking towards these two companies when repurchasing.  I recently purchased more lipsticks/glosses/stains so I'm good there.  So while I want to say it's a tie between the powder and the polisher, I think I'm going with the powder.  I'm pretty sure it would be worth every penny for the amount of damage control it would give my hair.
