August Birch Box

I've decided to just start doing these at the end of the month since for the past two months I haven't got my box till the 20th or so, and I like to have at least a week to test the products before I review them. The only hazard of this is that it's possible that there will be overlap between monthly favorites posts. We'll see... Now, on to the review!

I liked this months items but wasn't really wow'd by the box as a whole. Stand out items were the face wash and the hair masque.

FIX Malibu Wish Wash Exfoliating Face Wash
I think this is such an innovative product and I don’t think I’ll ever fly somewhere without it. I don’t feel like it was truly exfoliating, but my face felt clean. I would have used it down to the last puff of powder if my dog hadn’t eaten it. Seriously. There was white powder all over the carpet.

Caudalie Premier Cru the Eye Cream
I’ve used some of the Caudalie Eye Creams before, and I like them quite a bit. They make my eyes feel hydrated and I love using them before bed on the rare days that I take a shower in the evening. It doesn’t seem to do much for dark circles, but my eyes don’t seem quite as puffy in the morning.

Number 4 Lumiere d’hiver Reconstructing Masque
I straight up love love love this hair masque. At first I was a little “Eh…” about it, but after using it a couple of times I think it’s pretty wonderful. I couldn’t stop stroking my hair today at a meeting. I must have looked nuts.

Number 4 L’eau de Mer Hydrating Shampoo
Probably my least favorite product. It’s a decent shampoo, I like the smell, but there was no Wow-Factor. My hair didn’t seem more hydrated than normal, didn’t seem like any less damaged than normal (WOW Do I need a haircut!), my boyfriend said it made his scalp feel a little better, but otherwise not too impressive.

Twistband Hair Ties
Bit of wide elastic tied in a knot. Works. That’s about all I can say for it other than I would never ever spend $5 on 3 of them unless my brain broke.
