Here's a breakdown:
This was...fine. It's lotion and it's lavender-scented which is not my favorite.
I was excited about this until I realized it was silver liner. Not, like, shimmery gray-silver, but SUPER metallic silver-silver. I'm not sure I can pull it off but I should probably give it a try - might be nice in the corners of my eye? Any suggestions? I do love the packaging.
Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish™ Hot Cloth Cleanser Starter Kit
This was the star of the box. It was a sizeable sample of cleanser and came in a cute blue box with a little muslin wash cloth! It's good stuff - a very good oil-based cream cleanser and unscented, which I really like. The muslin wash cloth has just the right amount of texture to be scrubby without being too harsh. I was pretty happy with this set.
Catherine Malandrino Style de Paris
Perfume doesn't generally do anything for me, so I haven't bothered to smell it. (I am the worst.)
Oh you guys. This was THE WEIRDEST. I got a package with one mask and it was this flabby, moist black...thing you're supposed to slap up on your face. Then you stand around for a while and let it do it's thing. You will look like this...
and your cat will hiss at you. It felt clammy and slimy and the bottom kept coming un-stuck but my face definitely felt nicer afterwards. When you pull it off you're supposed to massage the remaining serum into your skin and not rinse, but there was a LOT of serum still hanging around, so I blotted a little. Weird. I don't know that I would bother to buy this but it was a fun experiment FOR SCIENCE. You're welcome.
Even though I don't always like everything in my Birchbox I do really like getting odd little beauty things in the mail every month. If you're so inclined to sign up, this is my referral link.
