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?
