My September Birchbox is a good one! I was surprised to see quite a few items that I’ve been wanting to try included in the box.
First up is the R+Co ANALOG Cleansing Foam Conditioner. It claims to clean and hydrate without weighing down hair. It’s made with argan oil, horsetail extract, and antioxidant rich green tea. While it’s suitable for all hair types it’s ideal for those with coarse, dry, or color-treated hair. It totally sounds like my kind of conditioner!
I’ve heard so much about thermal waters, but never tried one myself. The Avène Thermal Spring Water claims to soothe redness and calm all sorts of skin issues such as sunburns, allergic reactions, eczema, and itching. It can also be used to set makeup. I gave it a quick spritz and while it was nicely refreshing I didn’t really notice a change in my redness. I’m still testing it out though.
I think I was most excited to see the Milk Makeup Highlighter in this month’s box. I received the shade Lit which is a champagne pearl. I’m really digging the packaging. It’s not fancy or anything, but I think it’s rather cute. It contains hydrating ingredients such as mango butter, peach nectar, and avocado oils. Which is probably what makes it smell so good! It has a nice creamy texture and glides on smoothly. It’s a nice subtle glow, but it can easily be built up. I swiped a few times in my swatch posted above. It’s a gorgeous highlighter and I’ll definitely be putting this beauty to use.
The LOC Ultra-Gloss Lip Pencil Trio shade I received was Cherry Bomb. I’ve received so many of these types of pencils in my boxes and usually end up giving them away. But I think I’ll hang onto this one. I’m not really into gloss, but this doesn’t appear to be super glossy. And when I went to go wash off my swatch… sucker wasn’t budging! I had to whip out the makeup remover! I think a nice long lasting red might be good to have on hand for a night out. Not that I ever go out. But still.
I was also pretty excited to receive the Bioderma® Sensibio H2O. I’ve heard so many great things about it. And I’m lucky to be able to use it once. Because this awkward sample doesn’t reseal and I’m not sure that I can lay it down without it spilling out. But hey, it’ll be nice to finally be able to try it out!
Overall this is a pretty great box this month! Everything is usable and I even received some items I’ve been wanting to try for a while now.
That Avene Thermal Spring Water is awesome! A little miracle from France x
