September Birchbox



This Birchbox was pretty simple but had a lot of useful items.


The first thing that caught my eye was the bright blue nail polish - Insta-this - by color club. I immediately fell in love with the color. It's such a perfect true blue. The one thing I didn't like about it was that it gave my nails a horrible yellow stain when I took the polish off. I recommend putting a base coat with this polish to help keep it from staining.

The Jouer tinted moisturizer in matte nude was a bit of a love hate relationship for me. I loved the last tinted moisturizer from Jouer I recieved a few months ago, and was hoping I would have the same reaction to this one. But unfortunately the color was too light for me and the matte finish is not something I really like in tinted moisturizers like this. However I found a way to use it as a nice subtle highlight base.

The Boscia night serum is pretty much the item I used the most this month. It's such a great formula and leaves my skin feeling really hydrated without feeling oily. It's great for my travel makeup bag because its smaller than my normal night moisturizer and easy to bring around with me.

Not much can be said about the elastic band - it ties my hair back and looks... nice? Lol. And the tea was delicious to put it simply.

I also got a discount for madewell clothing. I've never actually shopped there before but we shall see, I still have a few weeks before it expires.
There was also a little magazine that had some cute fashion looks for the fall.

Overall this box was pretty ok - I didn't love it and I didn't hate it. Can't wait for October's box though!
