Birchbox teamed up with Glamour this month to feature products that appeal to the five senses. Cool, huh?
First up is Alterna Bamboo Fluide, a leave-in serum that protects hair with a UVA/UVB barrier to fade-proof color while keeping hair vibrant and shiny. I've gotten better about protecting my skin from the sun, my hair might as well be next. Wonder if this will give my beloved Orofluido a run for it's money?
Another Korean BB cream for me to try! Dr. Jart+ Water Fuse Beauty Balm is supposed to minimize the need for a foundation or concealer while also serving as a moisturizer, sunscreen, and treatment serum. It's made with 50% water, and I can say that when I used it this morning, I was impressed with how smooth it was and easy to apply. I was less impressed with it's coverage, but now that I know it's not claiming to replace foundation, I feel a bit better. I'm thinking this is something I will use more as a primer, but we shall see.
This is the first time I've heard of suki, but it sounds right up my alley. I'm always looking for natural or organic skincare products that deliver, so I'll be interested in trying the 5 sample packets from the nourishing line that I received. They may not be the right fit for my oily skin, but I'm game.
I also got one of the stila click pen lip glosses, and while I get a bit irritated with click pens, I'm not going to complain about receiving a stila product. These come in a 3 pack of tropical inspired colors, and I received Hisbiscus.
The lifestyle extras this month were some earbuds and a Larabar Uber bar. I ate the bar for breakfast this morning and quite enjoyed it. I'm listening to some of the Glamour playlists as I type this up, and Eddie Murphy is singing "Party All the Time". Cheesy goodness. Or badness. I had another wave of memories with Prince's "Pop Life", love that song.
Thank you, Birchbox and Glamour. Good month!
