Birchbox September 2012 ~ My Box!

I know that I have said it before but I seriously hate how long it takes for me to get my Birchbox, I just received my box on Saturday.  I have a serious obsession with my subscription boxes and I want them, no wait I NEED THEM here fast!!!!  I am the crazy lady that is constantly checking out my windows to see if the mail has come yet, I think my mailman thinks I have a major crush on him, or that I am some kind of crazy creeper.

Well it finally came, so here is my September 2012 Birchbox!!!!!

• boscia - Oil-free Nightly Hydration
This preservative-free moisturizer refines pores while soothing away irritation.  

I really love all boscia products that I have tried so I am super happy that I received this.  I love moisturizers so this will be fun to try out.  I tried to smell this (while squirting it right up my nose) but I can't really smell it, it really has not much of a scent which is a good thing.

Full Size- 1.4 oz $36.00
Sample Size - 0.5 fl oz $12.85

•Color Club - Birchbox Custom Polish (Status Update)
We teamed up with Color Club to create this custom shade, inspired by the Fall 2012 collections.

 I love nail polish, it is seriously one of the things that I am always changing and always wearing.  I don't have any colors that are anything like this gunmetal grey color.  I am super excited!
Oh and they had a bit of a spelling issue, the bottle says "Status Uptade" instead of update, LOL!  Its okay, I still love you Color Club.

Full Size- 0.5 fl oz $8.00
Sample Size- 0.25 fl oz $4.00

• kate spade new york - Twirl
A blend of fruity and floral notes, this modern classic feels joyful and carefree.

This picture is really irritating me.  I don't know why but every time I load it, it rotates sideways.  It doesn't show up in my library like this.  FRUSTRATING!!!  Okay moving on.
I think that this smells sooooo good!  It says that it has top notes of watermelon (yum), blackberry and red currant and a middle layer of orange blossom, jasmine and magnolia.  Musk and French macaroons (aren't those cookies??).  I really like it, it's not my favorite perfume but I still really do like it.  It makes me want to Twirl, yes I really did just say that.

Full Size- 3.4 fl oz $80.00
Sample Size- .05 fl oz $1.17

• twistband® - Hair Tie
Give your ponytail a makeover with these colorful, snag-free elastics.

I got a hot pink color, THANK YOU BIRCHBOX!!  I have seen some uggggggly colors and I am so happy that I got pink, I love pink!!!!  I know that a lot of people were made that they got these in their boxes but I am happy!!!  I am the ponytail queen, if I could get away with a ponytail everyday, I would.  I am super duper excited to try these out!!!!

Full Size- Set of 12, $18
Sample Size- 1 (super cute hot pink) $1.50

• WEI to Go - Sleep Over Kit
Wash away dirt and debris with the camellia oil-infused gel cleanser, then perfect your skin with the moisturizing face tint.  

 The name kinda throws me off.  "Sleep over kit"  I haven't had a sleep over in a LONG time, I just turned 29 and I got married at 19, me and the word sleep over are long lost friends.
This says it is for all skin types, it is a gelled oil cleanser (say what?) then it has a foundation looking cream.  I think that I read someone that this is a CC cream but it doesn't say that anywhere on here so......
*CC creams are color-correcting cremes, kinda like BB creams but are better.....

Full Size- 0.5 fl oz (Real Clean) 0.33 fl oz (Ideal Skin) $19.00
Sample Size- 2 real clean packets 0.002 fl oz total (0.001 each) 0.10 fl oz Ideal skin (Medium shade) $2.29

LIFESTYLE EXTRA
• tili® - Bags
These too-cute plastic bags are perfectly sized for storing all your beauty essentials.

Cute bag.  It's just like a zip lock bag but it will be nice to put my daughters hair ties into!

Full Size- 12 bags $9.49
Sample Size- $0.79
