I signed up for a Birchbox subscription box. It's only $14 a month and this month's box came with 7 products.
What was in the box?
MODELCO Highlighting Shimmer Whip
Beautaniq Beauty Glow Serum
MAC Cosmetics Strobe Cream
Love Of Color Liquid Shimmer Shadow
Acure Under Eye Hydrogels
The Under Eye Hydro Gels feel cooling under the eyes but they don't get rid of any of the puffiness under my eyes. I don't think they do much.
My favorite thing in this box is the Liquid Shimmer Shadow. I apply a tiny amount with a tiny brush to my inner eye corners to highlight there and it's perfect for that. A little goes a long way.
I'm not really into strobe cream, highlighting serum or highlighters because I'm almost 50 years old and I just don't think they look right on me. Maybe for someone younger than me but I doubt I'll use them again since I didn't like how they looked on me. My daughter will probably get them.
So the shimmer shadow is really the only thing out of this box that I liked. It is nice to be able to try small samples of all these products to see if I like them though.
I really like the box it all came in too. I keep a lot of these boxes because they are sturdy and you never know when you'll need a small box for something.
Did you get this box?
So nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteBah, highlight away and see what comes to play lol
ReplyDeletelol No thanks.
DeleteI've never even heard of strobe cream. Is it for when you go to a disco? Lol
ReplyDeleteLOL It's basically a highlight.
DeleteNice haul!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteWell, I just go out wrinkles and all :)

lol I'm sure I have a few.
DeleteAt my age lowlight is more flattering. Or even no light.
ReplyDeleteSmall samples to try is a win though.
I doubt that is true.
DeleteThat is a great box and I would keep them, too. I'm with you on finding some make-up is just too young or not conducive to my personality. Too bad the under-eye was not very helpful. Glad you got one success in the pile, but that is what samples are good for when you just want to try stuff out.
ReplyDeleteI do like trying new stuff out.
Deleteit's nice that you can try different things
ReplyDeleteI agree. I like trying new things.
DeleteCool box it came in :)
ReplyDeleteI do like the box too. I kept that also.
DeleteThat really is a cool looking box and at least you liked one of the items...and got to try others.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to try small samples of stuff that I might like.
DeleteThese boxes are a good way to find out if you like an item. I am glad you found something in the box you liked. It is a cute little box :)
ReplyDeleteExactly. I've tried many interesting items from these boxes.
DeleteSorry you only got one product you liked. My mother in law always saves boxes like this too. She uses them to box up fun little bingo game prizes for the grandkids.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. I have quite a few boxes that I could do that with.
DeleteI haven't tried this box yet but I've def been wanting to.
ReplyDeleteIt's been pretty good so far.
DeleteI have not tried this box yet but looks interesting and I love makeup products and skin care so super curious
ReplyDeleteThen you'd probably like this box.
DeleteNice box
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteLooks a good box, and it's nice that you can try different things.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I like being able to try new things.
Deletelove the post hope to see some more in future
