About the Box
Birchbox is a monthly subscription box where you get 4 to 5 beauty/lifestyle samples for $10/month. The Birchbox Finds was a limited edition box that Birchbox sold for $18. This is in addition to your monthly box, not in place of. Also, all products are full-size products not samples.
Unboxing
Biore Strips
These Biore Strips are Self Heating One Minute Masks where you wet your face, apply the mask, rub the mask into the skin for one minute, and then rinse off. Four one use packets come in the pack and this retails for $7.99
CoverGirl Bombshell Shine Shadow
I received the CoverGirl Bombshell Shine Shadow in Ice Queen which is a white frosty cream shadow with a ton of shimmer to it. This shadow also has a lot of staying power. This tube retails for $8.99
CoverGirl Bombshell Volume Mascara
This mascara is a two step mascara. The first step thickens and gives volume while the second step lengthens and seals. This mascara retails for $11.99, keep reading for a giveaway of this product!
John Frieda Frizz Ease
This nourishing elixir contains argan oil which battles frizz, leaves hair shiny, and soft. Plus it smells GREAT! This retails for $9.99
Nivea Kiss of Care & Color
Nivea is always a very moisturizing brand to me and I don’t think this product is going to be any different. This product has a core that adds hydration to the lips and the outer ring adds a light wash of color to the lips. The color that I received was Sheer Coral, I hoping that on the lips this is better than the way it swatched on my had. This retails for $4.99
Rimmel Stay Glossy 3D Lipgloss
I received the Rimmel Stay Glossy 3D Lipgloss in Popcorn for Two. This shade is a coral base but it has a pearlescent effect, which I’m assuming is what gives it it’s 3Dness. I have to say that the color payoff was great, it wasn’t greasy at all, BUT the smell was HORRIBLE! This retails for $4.99
Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure
The shade that I received in the Sally Hansen Complete Manicure was Rosy Outlook. This supposedly is a base and top coat along with a gel polish in one and is supposed to last up to 10 days. I’ll be posting a review up on the blog in the weeks to come. This retails for $7.99
All-in-all this was a great box, I only spent $18 on the box (shipping was free!) and I got $56.93 worth of product! All of these are things I either already own versions of or were wanting to try out. I’m most excited about the mascara, the nail polish, and the Biore strips. Currently the Birchbox Finds is still available to purchase, however, if you’re interested in purchasing it you better do so soon as it is limited edition. Click here to purchase.

I would love to try the Frizz Ease. As I get older, I have noticed that my hair has more of a tendency to frizz on me. I would like to try an anti-frizz product, but I have been reluctant to, since my hair can be so naturally oily.
