September Birchbox + First Impressions

It's that time of the month again!  Birchbox time!  This month's box was geared towards the beautiful change from summer to fall which I am loving right now as the breeze blows in through my open windows...you already knew that though if you follow me on Instagram where I just posted this picture of sweet Charley playing guard dog. :)

If you aren't following on me on Instagram, head on over {HERE}...I post all sorts of stuff and a lot of times it's when I'm out and about and find beautiful pieces I want to share with YOU!
So back to the Birchbox!  Here's what came in my monthly subscription box:

  • Acure Organics Day Cream
  • Harvey Prince Ageless Liquid Loofah body wash
  • Macadamia Professional Healing Oil Spray
  • Real Chemistry Luminous 3-Minute Peel
  • TEMPTU S/B Highlighter in Champagne Shimmer
  • Bonus: ChapStick Hydration Lock 2n1 stick
My first impressions:

  • Acure Organics Day Cream: It smells fabulous!  It's very citrus-y and reminds me a lot of Origins Ginzeng Face Cream.  It's pretty light and moisturizing for a first use.
  • Harvey Prince Ageless Liquid Loofah body wash: I got this a few month's back in a body lotion and LOVED it and when I saw the body was was in this box I got super excited...then I realized over half of it had leaked in the box...major bummer!  The smell is fabulous!
  • Macadamia Professional Healing Oil Spray: I use the conditioning mask religiously and have tried a sample of the oil before so I'm super excited about trying multiple uses of it now.  It's light and smells delicious!
  • Real Chemistry Luminous 3-Minute Peel: I have not had a chance to try this yet but I am excited!  I'm all about facials and peels for super rejuvenation!
  • TEMPTU S/B Highlighter in Champagne Shimmer: This is a beautiful bronze shimmery liquid highlighter.  It comes out a little dark but once blended in looks stunning!
  • Bonus product: I may have found my new favorite ChapStick!  It goes on like butter and my lips still feel fully moisturized after 30 minutes (and still going)!
Overall grade of this month's box:
A+

I really love getting this box every month and I'd love to know what your favorite subscription box is...leave it in the comments below!

I hope you enjoyed a tour through this month's Birchbox, and as always, thanks for stopping by!

  1. Looks great. I know that there are a million lip balms that people like but I am so partial to Chap Stick. It works GREAT. And now it looks like I have some other products to try.

    1. It's an amazing product! I have been actually grabbing it more than anything else since I got it and I have been a Nivea fan forever.

    1. I used to get the Ipsy bag too but I found I was giving away a lot of the samples instead of using them because they didn't match me well.
