Here is what I got this month:



BeeKind Body Lotion (Full-Size $15.00)
Birchbox Says: "Made with honey and organic chamomile, this healthy UK fave sinks in to restore skin"
First Impression: I love the smell, very citrus-y, very strong at first but after about 5-10 minutes it fades away and is very, very light.  Seems to be a thin consistency but not runny or anything and it moisturizes fairly well but it does leave that kind of sticky feeling for a few minutes before it dries completely.  Does anybody else hate that?  But once it dries it's perfect, this will go in my sample lotion collection because I swear I get one in all my boxes.

Dr. Brandt Pores no More Vacuum Cleaner (Full-Size $45.00)
Birchbox Says: "Award-winning gel that degunks pores for fewer blackheads and smoother skin"
First Impression: Used this one time and I actually felt like it worked pretty good, my face was really smooth afterwards but I am not positive if it was only this product because I do exfoliate everyday. The product is clear and goes on clear but while it is drying it turns white and you only need a very thin layer.

Harvey Prince Petaly Noir (Full-Size $55.00) **Notes: jasmine, orchid, lily of the valley, vanilla
Birchbox Says: "Lush floral scent that evokes a midnight stroll among blossoming orchids"
First Impression: I wanted to like this but for some reason I don't, it seems like when I first smell it  comes off very warm which I love but then I get the smell of Robitussin, yes the medicine Robitussin. Not too upset about it though because I have a million perfume samples anyway so loosing this one wont do any harm.

Lord & Berry Pailettes Glitter Eye Pencil (Full-Size $18.00)
Birchbox Says: "This blendable pencil from the UK brand is studded with bits of silver shimmer"
First Impression: My first impression seeing it was ummmm, I don't want this glitter all up on my eye but when I swatched it I was ummmm yes I do!! It is really creamy and the glitter is not too chunky or annoying, I think it will be a good change from a regular black eyeliner.  Usually I wear a nude eyeliner but this may be nice for the holiday season especially at night time.

ModelCo Part Proof Lipstick in Kitty (Full-Size $24.00)
Birchbox Says: "Hydrating, semi-matte formula in a soft pink shade that lasts as long s the party does"
First Impression: I love this packaging, like really love this packaging for some reason. The color is a nice natural looking pink it's not too light or too bright or dark.  It is the perfect everyday kind of sheer pink color.  It does have a sheen to it and is extremely creamy and in my opinion it wasn't matte at all but still very pretty oh and make sure you EXFOLIATE you lips first!!
