Another better-late-than never post, my final thoughts on the products from my July 2011 Birchbox:
***
Ahava Mineral Hand Cream – I was a bit disappointed that my second box had another lotion in it. I have since changed my Birchbox Beauty Profile and hopefully I won’t receive any more lotions 🙂 I am UP TO HERE with a full stock of lotions at my house! While I like new scents as much as the next girl, I have most recently been into body oils. Anywho…all that aside, I do really love the fresh flower scent and the texture of this lotion. It’s not greasy and I would almost call it a matte lotion. Does that make sense? It seems to matteify AND soften my hands which is just fine and dandy with me!
Philosophy Purity Made Simple One-Step Facial Cleanser – I was really excited to try this since I have never tried the Philosophy brand before. This is an incredibly gently cleanser with really no scent. I liked it just fine, but for regular use I need a facial cleanser that is geared more towards my oily skin. I still use this once in a while, just for a change of pace.
Redken Shine Flash 02 – This mist definitely did provide crazy shine to my hair when I sprayed it on after styling. The only problem was the sour smell! That is one thing that will not do well with me is a terrible scent. Even though this spray shines my hair blind, I would not buy this due to the smell. REMEMBER: I am VERY sensitive to scents, so you many not be bothered by this scent at all.
Zoya Touch Collection Nail Polish in Shay – This is a mini size bottle of polish that I was super excited to try, my first Zoya! Read my full review with swatches here!
Kind Almond & Apricot Bar – Delicious! This snack bar was so good and it has no preservatives! I will be looking for these in the grocery store, I will definitely purchase these.
