Birchbox November 2014 Review

Finally my November Birchbox has arrived!!! Even though I know what is in my box still it is nice to open the box and actually touch and feel the products. I know I'm weird like that which makes it hard for me to do online shopping because I want to touch everything before I buy it. This month Birchbox is doing a giving theme and for every photo shared on instagram with #shaRED Birchbox will donate $1 to to the AIDS-Free Generation.  How great is that?! I posted mine have you? IMG_0548.JPGIMG_0549.JPGIMG_0542.JPG My products inside the box! box looks a little cramped but that's okay right? IMG_0550.JPG So I've been waiting for the Klorane Dry Shampoo for ages! and finally I got one in my box!  This one is with Oat Milk in Natural Tint, which will be great for my black hair! I've read lots of positive reviews about this product on birchbox so i'm glad to finally be able to try it myself.  I'll update later after I use it which is going to be tomorrow since I'll be washing my hair today. What's a Birchbox without a lotion item right?  I got the Gilchrist & Soames Spa Therapy Body Lotion.  It is antioxidant-rich moisterizer that smooths and softens with botanical like grape seeds.  To me this product is a bit watery so it might not be a good winter body lotion but it does absorb into the skin fast and smells okay. IMG_0551.JPG COOLA Tinted Matte SPF 30 sunscreen.  this is a mineral based tinted moisturizer that softens, evens skin tone and has a matte finish.  I have not try anything from COOLA before so i'm glad to have this in the box. Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel Sensitive This is an amazingly effective and gently peel with fruit-derived acids to dissolve dead skin.  it says to use this at night and 1-2 times a week.  Usually at night time I'd like to use a sheet mask and relax and then take it off and sleep away.  but i will give this a try on a layover somewhere since it's a small tube and easy to carry with. IMG_0552.JPG ModelCo Party Proof Lipstick in Get Naked.  This is a hydrating semi-matte formula that lasts as long as they party does.  This is a very nude shade of lipstick that I don't have.  so this is a great addiction to my collection.  I normally wear lip gloss so lipstick is something I put on and leave the stick at home. hahha i prefer to use lipgloss on the go.  It is a decent size tho! It will last me a very time!   good base color to layer with a colored lip gloss i think. IMG_0543.JPGIMG_0545.JPG This is the bonus item I received in my box andit is the Firstcracker ChocoPods it has sea salt, a dash of chipotle and popping candy crackle in dark chocolate.  I opened this as soon as I was done looking through the box and shared it with my husband.  He didn't know about the chipotle and he said why is it spicy? but in a good way.  it does have a kick but not strong and doesn't last.  I would have liked this more if it doesn't have the chipotle in it.  I like the combination of the popping candy and chocolate. Overall, this box has a bit of everything that I could use! it has makeup to lotion to chocolate.  I am most excited about the dry shampoo and lip stick.  this box is a win for me because when you review the items in this box you get points and with the bonus item I got 60 points and that's $6.00 to spent! What do you think of your box?  if want to subscription to birchbox click here.  and now they are available in Canada too!!!
