Happy Thursday everyone! December’s Birchbox is in so let’s get to it! 🙂
Klorane Gentle Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk
For a few years now, I have been wanting to try out this dry shampoo so when I saw it was included, I was happy. After trying it though, I found it to be sticky and it doesn’t have a scent per se but still smells kind of odd, if that makes sense. Not my favorite dry shampoo yet but I’ll give it another shot. Bonus points for not leaving a white residue behind.
JUARA Coconut Illipe Hand and Nail Balm
This balm is supposed to hydrate, firm and plump hands as well as improve nails and cuticles and with this cold weather, it was good to put it to the test. It is fast-absorbing but not as hydrating sometimes as I would like. The scent reminds me of the beach so it’s a nice little pick me up during the afternoon.
Harvey Prince Sea Salt Texturizing Mist
I’ve seen this in multiple beauty blogs and I’m glad it was included. It has a citrusy, floral-esque scent and it gives a nice, beach-like texture to my ends when I flat iron my hair. Would definitely invest in the full size bottle.
Coastal Scents styleEYES Eyeshadow Palette- socialEYES
This month’s sample was an eyeshadow quad from Coastal Scents. While I love the colors, a vibrant turquoise and lovely gold, I will be giving this one away, hence the reason for no swatches.
theBalm Cosmetics FratBoy
You gotta love the packaging on theBalm Cosmetics and the nifty names they come up with. Again, the color looks lovely but I will also be giving this one away as I have colors that look similar. Although I am not entirely fond of the size of the sample-it looks like it would be an eyeshadow sample-my previous experience with their blushes was great so I am sure this is no different.
Overall, this was a good box filled with items I have been eyeing for a while now.
What’s your opinion on this month’s box?

I had the Klorane dry shampoo once upon a time and that thing finished up in a couple of uses! The can was EMPTY. A full sized bottle too.
theBalm Frat Boy is on my radar to try!
Oh wow! That’s not good. 🙁 I mean I know it’s in an aerosol can but still. So sorry about your experience. Definitely give the blush a try! 🙂
I really need to purchase something from theBalm Cosmetics line! I really adore their packaging!
I think the blushes are a great place to start. 🙂
You received some great products!
I really can’t complain. I wasn’t as thrilled with the eyeshadows but that’s okay because other good products were included that I’ve always wanted to try. 🙂
I was so excited about the eyeshadows until I tried them. I had such high hopes. Oh well.
Yeah, I think sometimes these are a hit or miss. I got a sample of the Revealed palette from CS last time and one shade was just not pigmented at all. Felt like it was dried up or something and a total waste. 🙁
I have a few coastal scents palettes and unfortunately it’s the same thing. Some shades are amazing and others are pretty bad.
That sucks! I mean the price point isn’t too bad but still. It’s nice to have all shades have at least some pigmentation.
You’re absolutely right!! I don’t mind paying a little more for better pigmentation!
