Birchbox & Glossybox USA: October 2012

Received both boxes last week. Guess what's missing? My ipsy bag. Apparently, USPS lost my package again. Grrr! Now, I have to wait for probably a week to get a replacement. Anywho, I also unsubscribed from Birchbox. I am more happier with the products that I'm getting from Glossybox. :)

Let's move on... ;)

What's inside this month's Birchbox?

sorry the colors are a bit washed out..was in a hurry.. >.<
1. Luna | Lemonzest
~ These zesty snacks are a goop fave. They're perfect for keeping you full in between meals (plus they can double as a healthy dessert!) Pack of 15, $18.75


2. Karuna | Hydrating Treatment Masks
~Get on board with the sheet mask trend. This-at-home fave contains Japanese natto (soybean) to boost skin's mositure levels. 4 masks, $28


3. Embryolisse | Lait-Creme Concentre - 24 Hour Miracle Cream
~A favorite of models and makeup artists, this cult French lotion heals dryness. Bonus: it also works as a primer and make up remover. Full size, $16


4. Lulu Organics | Lavender + Clary Sage Hair Powder
~Laced with organic lavender and sage, this sweet-smelling dry shampoo revives flat or second day hair. Full size, $30


5. Naked Princess | Naked Shine Luscious Lip Gloss
~ Show off your (nearly) bare lips with this sheer gloss, which doubles as a subtle plumper. Full size, $26

This month's Birchbox is so-so for me.. I am just glad that they didn't give me another hair tie. LOL

  3. I like the sound of the mist - I'm such a sucker for anything that spritzes! Lol :) I'd love to know your thoughts on the Embryolisse, especially since I'm a bit on the fence about it.
