January 2018 Target Best of Boots Beauty Box Review

Ugh, I thought I was done with the interminable month of beauty boxes that was January but no, there’s still the January Best of Boots TargetBeauty Box. I can make this really succinct: there was more than just skincare? Meh to that! Sorry for the shoddy review here but that’s about how excited I was after I was after I opened the box and saw what was inside. I think I was just initially salty because I was so excited when I ordered this box, nearly bursting with anticipation and the letdown when I opened it and saw the actual contents and sizes was palpable. I’ve had a couple of months to get over it but writing this just made my eye twitch at the memory. As I upload this I realized I have gone through many of the products that I've mentioned and I've also lost the pictures I had stored on my phone of them. This is both embarrassing and infuriating and I sincerely apologize for this faux pas.

Birchbox Review May 2017

Every month Birchbox sends out a box (sometimes cute, usually not) with 5 samples at a cost of $10. Birchbox likes to send higher end brands so sample sizes tend to be on the smaller side but I won't complain about that unless they're sending foil packets. Another Birchbox trait is that they are more skincare/haircare heavy as opposed to Ipsy or GlossyBox which are more makeup heavy. This is fine with me (the skincare side at least) since I am also subscribed to Ipsy so that more or less covers my makeup fix. If you're interested, you can click my referral link here. This month was pretty decent. I received:

• Visanti Brighten Up Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator -$5.53, CF & V

• Marcelle New-Age LumiPOWER 3-in-1 Moisturizer - $3.65, CF

• Whish Firming Body Cream - $5.40, CF

• Living Proof Perfect Hair Day In-Shower Styler - $4.80

• ModelCo Lip Enhancer Illusion Lip Liner - $11.00 (from the company's website), CF
