REVIEW: Birchbox September 2013


My September 2013 Birchbox:

RUFFIAN Nail Lacquer in Hedge Fund
Mereadesso All-In-One Moisturizer
Beauty Protector Protect & Shampoo
Beauty Protector Protect & Condition
GlamNatural Cream Blush


Beauty Protector Protect & Shampoo
Beauty Protector Protect & Condition

I sampled the Beauty Protector Protect & Detangle a while back and fell in love. Immediately purchased the full size and actually just purchased another bottle. It has the greatest scent and works wonders for my hair! So I was thrilled when I saw they now make shampoo & conditioner. These products have the same great scent as the detangler, thank goodness! 

I tried these last night & used the detangler after and honestly didn't notice a huge difference from when I use my regular Herbal Essence shampoo  & conditioner. However, it is nice having them all smell the same and I will continue to use these until I'm out to see if there are any longer term effects. :)


RUFFIAN Nail Lacquer in Hedge Fund

Honestly, this whole collection is completely gorgeous & I would have been happy with any of the colors, but this is the one I wanted most! It's the perfect olive with just a touch of gold shimmer.

I'll have to do a quick mani with this one to test the formula but as long as it's not horrible, I'll be picking up Delirium & Fox Hunt to go along with this one. Love fall nail colors!


Mereadesso All-In-One Moisturizer

This stuff is a little intimidating based on the price alone. It's $120 for the full size and this sample/travel size is $28. DANG. 

So, is it worth the price? Honestly, maybe! This is a moisturizer that also acts as a primer, toner, and eye cream. It has a really nice light scent and goes on very light, not heavy or oily at all! It left my skin feeling really clean actually and I love that! I usually stay away from moisturizers just because I hate the way they feel on my skin, but I like this one a lot.

Also, check out the packaging! It's a RESEALABLE foil packet. Genius!


GlamNatural Cream Blush

These came as tiny packets inside of an envelope. I swatched them first and when I saw how LITTLE you need to get a ton of color payout, I squeezed them into jars. These will definitely last me a while! You Make Me Blush is my favorite of the three :)
