Birchbox Review: June

See this content in the original post

I was pretty pleased when I received last month's 

Birchbox

, opened it & saw all the Davines products, especially that big bottle of shampoo.  Here's what I got!

Birchbox + Color Club

Wanderlust Collection | Full-size, $8

Exclusive neon pastel shades inspired by four of our favorite cities.

My Review

:  The color I got is Mod In Manhattan.  I haven't used it yet, but it looks like a pale, pinky-white.  Good neutral color.  I'll use it soon, probably with a gold glitter topcoat.  Like you do.

Davines

Love Smoothing Shampoo | Full-size, $24

A gentle shampoo packed with moisturizing Indian fig extract & olive oil.

My Review

:  I really like this shampoo.  The sample size was pretty big & lasted awhile.  The smell was amazing & my hair did feel super soft.  Not sure if I'll add it to my repertoire, but I did like it.

Oscar de l Renta

Something Blue | Full-size, $85-$115

The brand's latest scent, a lovely blend of mandarin & linden blossoms.

My Review

:  No.

suki

Exfoliate Foaming Cleanser | Full-size, $32.95

Two-in-one cleanser & exfoliator that magically lathers & smells deliciously lemony.

My Review

:  I didn't like this at all.  The smell was too strong.  It smelled like a cleaning agent & it did not lather or foam.  It was too harsh for my sensitive skin.  I used the rest of the sample on my feet - ha!

BEAUTY EXTRAS

Davines

Love Smoothing Conditioner | Full-size, $27.50

Rich, aromatic conditioner formulated with nourishing borage seed oil.

My Review

:  This sample was small & hard to use, but I liked it.  It smelled good.  I'm sure it's great, but a larger sample would have been helpful.

Davines

Oi/Oil Absolute Beautifying Potion | Full-size, $40

An antioxidant-packed potion to instantly tame frizz & strengthen hair over time.

My Review

:  I haven't used this yet because I'm not 100% sure if it's for wet or dry hair.  I'll use it & report back.
