What I Received:
1. Catherine Maladrino Perfume Style de Paris

The description of this scent is that it combines bright fruits and florals in an elegant vibe. Now I can’t pinpoint exactly what this smell is but it’s very refreshing. It doesn’t smell too fruity or florally – it’s just a nice clean, light scent and I’m soo in love with it.
2. Eyeko Black Magic Mascara

I’ve received this mascara before in my Topbox and I do remember really liking it. The colour was a nice intense black and the shape of the brush really made it easy to apply and get a good amount of volume and thickness. I’m happy that I’m seeing this again. It’s great when you get another sample of a sample you know you’ve liked before 🙂
3. Harvey Prince Hello Body Creme

I have been so curious about this product and smell. I’ve watched a bit of elevengorgeous on youtube and every time they receive a product from this brand they get really excited so I’m happy to finally receive something that I can try myself. Again, I love the clean and light smell of this product. I’m happy that I’ve received this in a creme so that I can wrap my skin in this awesome smell!
4.Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel for sensitive skin

Hurray for a peel designed for sensitive skin! This peel has fruit-derived acids to exfoliate dead skin.
5.ModelCo Ultra Long-Lastig Lipstick – in Siletto

This is such a nice bold colour! I really hope that this is as long-lasting as the product says so that I can wear it all day.
My Thoughts
Birchbox has been sending out some amazing boxes lately and this is just another one full of products that I can’t wait to try out! Total value of my box $33.03.
My skin was too sensitive for the Juice Beauty Sensitive Skin Peel. I couldn’t even leave it on for the full time – my skin turned lobster red and I had to slather my face in aloe gel to calm it down! Hopefully you won’t have a problem. 🙂

Oh no! My skin isn’t super sensitive so hopefully I don’t have the same issue. How unfortunate and a bit misleading to market something for sensitive skin when it certainly doesn’t seem to be

It could just be as simple as me having a sensitivity to one of the ingredients. I have no idea. I gave it to my mom and she had no problem whatsoever!
