The theme for September 2014 is fresh paint. the card reads, "September means turning the page on summer, and diving into falls colors, textures, and inspiration. it's also Birchbox's anniversary month- the perfect time to celebrate our subscribers, reflect on the past years (four and counting!), and gear up for new adventures. With that in mind, we've dressed your birchboxes in gorgeous patterns fit for a new season. We hope you'll use these keepsake boxes to store samples and other treasures. "
Liz Earle cleanse and Polish Hot Cleaner Starter Kit. UK favorite that uses a two-step ritual to purify and exfoliate. A Birchbox exclusive. Full Size retails for $24.50
Verdict: I'm excited to try this product. I really like trying different skin cleansers, and this is a new brand to me. I also like that it came with a cloth! very cute and easy to use.
Davis Oi shampoo and conditioner. Loaded with apricot butter and roucou oil, this detangler protects and softens hair. Full size retails for $32.00.
Verdict: I've tried this right away when I received my box. It smells really good. The smell lasted until I washed my hair again. I probably will be purchasing the full size of this conditioner.
Pixi Shea Butter Lip Balm in Honey Nectar. Dual-purpose balm that hydrates with Shea butter while giving lips a pretty wash of color. Full size retails for$8.00.
Verdict: I really like lip balm and i'm happy to add this one to my collection! I love the nude color of it and I love the packaging.
Alelier Cologne vanille Insensee frangrance. A fresh, lively blend of soft vanilla, romantic jasmine, and bright lime notes. full size retails for $75-185.00
Verdict: I like this perfume, and I will use it. However, it isn't a product that I wouldn't ideally purchase the full size of. It smells good, and it lasts but, I have a ton of perfumes and body sprays already.
Acure Organics day Cream. Made with gotu kola stem cells, the anti-aging moisturizer firms and protects skin. full size retails for $18.99.
Verdict: I really like Acure and what they stand for. Their products are vegan, sulfate free, cruelty free, paraben free, PEG free, petroleum free, phthalate free, silicone free, gluten free, and 100% biodegradable. This face cream smells really good. I am really picky about my skin care items. I felt like this didn't absorb into my skin all the way, which is annoying. With that being said, it didn't leave my skin feeling oily, which is usually what I experience when my facial creams doesn't absorb completely. I have mixed feelings about this day cream.
