October Birchbox Review

The October Birchbox was sponsored by goop, which is a lifestyle resource created by Gwyneth Paltrow.  I had the option of getting a goop birchbox or a regular box, and I thought it would be fun to get the goop one.

Birchbox is a monthly subscription service for upscale beauty products.  For $10, you get a box with 4-5 generous samples including makeup, skincare, fragrance, body, and hair care. Wanna try Birchbox?  I’d love it if you used my referral invite: Click here.

October Birchbox Items: The price in parenthesis is the price for the full-sized product, the samples are pretty generously sized, if not full-size.

• essie nail polish – This looks like a pretty cool burgundy color, but I haven’t tried it yet. ($8)
• Joanna Vargas Daily Serum – I never hold out much hope with serums because I don’t feel like I ever notice any benefit, but I’ll give this a try tonight.  ($85)
• Marie Veronique Organics Body Oil – This is a blend of watermelon seed, vegetable squalene (?), and apricot kernel oils.  It’s very bizarre and smells like vegetables, but it’s sort of interesting.  I’m not a big fan of body oils, but I’ll try it. ($36)
• Sprout Lip Balm Flights – This cocoa lip balm smells great and I like the feel of it.  ($18)
• Luna LemonZest – I like Luna bars but have never tried this flavor.  It saved my life on Saturday when I was hungover and needed to eat something.  ($18.50 for 18 pk)
