Goop/Birchbox October 2012

Ok, so after all of the hype my BB finally arrived in the mail.  There were so many possibilities of what could be inside that I just couldn't wait to tear the box open.

I got the Goop box!  This is a little different from the pink tissue paper but its still cool.

Here is the first look:

Ohhh a Luna fiber bar and is that a chocolate bar too?

Once everything is unwrapped you can see this is a fairly well thought out box of samples!

Let me tell you- if you are not a fan of the sticky super glue uber thick hyper color pigment lip glosses then you have found your savor in Naked Princess products!  Here's there web site: http://www.nakedprincess.com which is a sexy yet informative site full of naughty/nice products including a wide selection of their lip glosses!  These are lightly scented, creamy, long lasting, sheer lip glosses that last for hours!  Your lips will not want anything less once you try this!  I've used this product for a couple of years now and I always speak very highly of NP. Yes its $$ but you are worth it! And there is an article on their site explaining how much nasty chemical women ingest from their lipstick/lip glosses- its a MUST read.

Kiehl's aromatic blends are intoxicating!  Luckily they come in several scents so you surely will be able to find the one you like best or like them all!  As usual your skin is clean without over drying.  I received Orange Flower & Lychee which is a orange-floral scent (I love it) .  I highly recommend this-so far I've had no skin reactions and the scent lingers for a while but not too long; however you'll feel refreshed all day!

Well, who doesn't like Essie?  Probably one of the most respected and highest quality nail polish that's also very affordable.  My disappoint was the color :(  I mean its October - Breast Cancer Awareness month- and they couldn't give everyone at least one shade of Essie pink polish?  Yes yes I know I can buy my own, but this gray slate color was just a waste. And the collection is out of stock on the BB web site.

Sing it with me Ladies:
Luna, Luna, Luna, get your protein here!
Luna, Luna, Luna, get your protein here!
However, BB is out of stock and the ingredients (a little too much sugar).
Ok so that doesn't make any sense, just like this fiber bar being in my sample box and BB being out of stock too. (no complaints against Luna tho')

This....is a daily serum that looks like an airplane.  Its small, not quite sure what it does, and its $85 for full size bottle!  Wow that's expensive!  It has a nice smell but is a bit runny, but I'm sure it works really well for someone.






This was another BB with so much potential but fizzled in the end.  The NP product line is fab!  Kielh's, Essie, Luna and even Joanna Vargus are great brands but this box just wasn't as fantastic as BB was leading me to believe.  No, I don't hate BB, but I am truthful about their samples b/c of my level of cosmetic expertise is more than s/one just rolling out of college.  I believe BB will be great someday, especially with the acquisition of Jolie Box!
