November Birchboxes 2015


This month's box is stunning! I can't wait to wrap up a little holiday cheer in this one! 

This is my last month getting two Birchboxes! It's so sad, but also probably for the best. I just had to start my third "Samples I haven't tried yet" box. 


This one is only about a third full so far...


The first two are stuffed. I know what I'm doing over Christmas break!! 

OK! On to my November boxes! 





LOC is a new brand by Birchbox and I got to try two of their three lip colors. They are both really nice bright but matte colors that last. I probably don't  have to touch up before lunch, but I do because I drink so much water at work that I just feel safer when I do. Plus, I work with trendy college kids and I'm pretty much an old lady to them now, better safe than ancient looking. 

I also LOVE the amika Nourishing Mask, I always have a tub of this stuff in my shower. It smells amazing and I'm so excited to have a sample size for my travel bag. 

theBalm always has great blush/shadow/bronzers and this month's sample is no exception. It's a nice light color which is perfect for my pasty self. 

I've sampled the Temple Spa body wash before, I think as a bonus sample from a full size purchase, and it's really nice. 

I keep all of my Birchbox boxes to use for gift wrapping during the holidays and I just thought I'd share a picture of how many I've saved up this year. 


I think my small Christmas gift wrapping needs will be well met. I can't wait to gift my family and friends special little somethings in these beautiful boxes!
