Unboxing December:

I have decided I need to STOP looking at Sneak Peeks and looking at fellow subscriber's boxes because it only seems to cause disappointment when I open my own box. The past few months, I've been so extremely bummed out when I receive my box, and I believe it's from seeing all of the more fabulous items that other's are getting.

I have yet to receive a cool beauty tool yet and this month they had an awesome fan brush going around and I was so super bummed when I didn't get it. I actually had to film my unboxing video twice because I was so disappointed.

Let's Get To It....

Vasanti Brighten Up Rejuvenator

This is a pretty cool item, I wasn't thrilled at first glance. However, after living with it for a couple of days, I decided perhaps it wasn't as bad as I initally thought.

No. 4 Shampoo & Conditioner

Besides the fact that these two samples meant TWENTY feedback points, I wasn't thrilled AT ALL to get these. I was ok with it... UNTIL I opened it and I wasn't feeling this scent at ALL! So, I don't know that I'll EVER use this!

Beauty Protector Oil

This would be an exciting item, if I could use hair oil. However, the texture of my hair makes it impossible to use this stuff. I wish though, that it had been the shampoo and conditioner. Birchbox prides themself on not sending repeats, however I would GLADLY accept repeats of the Beauty Protector Shampoo & Conditioner. The smell is HEAVENLY!

W3LL People Highlighter / Brightener

This was my "Sample Choice" for the month! I'm really pleased with it. I love having extra shimmer and so a product like this is great for me!

Miranesse Lip Rouge

I love this! I received the color: Sydney and it's gorgeous! So velveety! I don't know why I didn't take a stand-alone picture of it, but trust me when I say it's an absolutely gorgeous shade! I did an unboxing video and actually wore this in the unboxing video!

Overall Thoughts

This was a pretty decent box. It's much better than most of the boxes I have received. I was just disappointed that I didn't receive a couple of the other incredible items that were in some of the boxes this month. I really, REALLY wanted the Vasanti Rose Gold liner, but I should have made it my "Choice". There also was an awesome Laura Gellar Fan Brush going around that I was PRAYING to God I got and I was sadly disappointed when it didn't show up in my box.

So, I'll just stop looking at everyone elses' boxes until I've received and lived with mine for a couple of days so I'm not SUPER bummed when I don't get what I want out of everyone elses' boxes!
