| Birchbox Canada December |
Live Colorfully is a lovely floral musk with water lilies and citrus from Kate Spade. It's a very fresh and light spring and summer scent that I quite enjoy; however, I really don't care for perfume samples in subscription boxes simply because I can get them for free at perfume counters.
Sample: Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo ($26.50 CAD for full-sized)
This is a scented dry shampoo that comes in a super colorful mini can, perfect for traveling.
Sample: Sunday Riley Good Genes Treatment ($110 CAD for full-sized)
This is an anti-aging face cream that promises to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Sunday Riley seems like a super luxurious brand so it's always nice to get mini samples of expensive skin care.
Sample: Juara Coconut Illipe Hand & Nail Balm ($26 CAD for full-sized)
A super teeny and cute hand cream sample, the Juara Coconut Illipe Hand & Nail Balm has a very lightweight texture that absorbs quickly. I do wish the formulation is slightly creamier; it doesn't spread very well on dry hands so I have to use quite a lot.
The item I was most interested in, LOC is Birchbox's own brand. The Vibrant Matte Lipstick in "Glam Life" is a shade curated by Youtuber Tati Westbrook, who's actually one of the only beauty gurus I love and watch. "Glam Life" is a beautiful dark wine with a semi-matte finish. The formulation is very creamy and non-drying but it's somewhat patchy and smudge-prone. Additionally, this full-sized product has 0.6g of product; the $10 CAD price tag is very affordable but for 0.6g of product, it's not too good of a deal.
