MY REVIEW BIRCHBOX MARCH 2018

• Marcelle New Age Precision 8-in-1 Power Serum – Size received – 0.23 oz. This is a multi-peptide, anti-aging serum. It says your skin will be transformed after 7 days and results after just 1 application. This serum is fragrance free and has a clear-cloudy color, texture comes out like a gel but massages in like water. It doesn’t feel sticky or greasy, but makes your skin feel soft and hydrated, like you drank a glass of water. It contains collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin. Hyaluronic acid is so awesome because it is a moisture binding ingredient that keeps your skin plump. (Ingredients: Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-9, Acmella Oleracea Extract, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Alcohol, Anhydroxylitol, Aqua/Water/Eau, Cyclohexasiloxane, Cyclopentasiloxane, Diazolidinyl Urea, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Disodium Edta, Glycerin, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Hydroxypropyl Cyclodextrin, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Mannitol, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Hydroxide, Sorbitan Laurate, Xylitol, Xylitylglucoside).

• Winky Lux Glazed Lips Donut Lip Gloss – Size received .05 oz- This is a semi-sheer hydrating shimmery gloss. I received the color Sugar Glaze which is a holographic pearl color. It has bits of purple and pink glitter in it. I probably won’t wear this as a lip gloss by itself but it will be nice as a lip topper over a lipstick. It looks shinier on my hand than it does on my lips. It isn’t super shiny, just adds a hint of shine with a holographic color. It does feel moisturizing on my lips. It contains coconut oil and jojoba, is cruelty free and it is made in the USA.  It was a fun color and will be nice to try it with other colors underneath. I was craving something sweet and when I applied this to my lips, I felt like I had a sweet snack. Ingredients: Tridecyl Trimellitate, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Octyldodecanol, Diisostearyl Malate, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Silica, Ethylene/Propylene/Styrene Copolymer, Silica Dimethyl Silylate, Hydrogenated Coconut Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, CI 15850 (Red 6 Lake), CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide), CI 77742 (Manganese Violet)

• treStiQue Perfect Multipurpose Highlight Stick – Size received 0.04 oz – This is a cream-gel highlighter. It has a silky formula, nice shimmer, not glittery. Goes on very smooth. Infused with coconut oil.

• GLAMGLOW GLOWSTARTER Mega Illuminating Moisturizer – Size Received .24 oz. –  I have received this a couple times in my subscription boxes and I don’t care for it. It has so much fragrance in it, I don’t want to put it on my face. I’m not normally super sensitive to fragrance but there is something about this one, that is way too strong.  This is a basic sheer moisturizer that adds a soft tint and glow to your skin. Doesn’t look sparkly or glittery, adds a soft healthy glow. (Ingredients:  Water, Dimethicone, Butylene Glycol, Glyceryl Distearate, Cetyl Ricinoleate, Trisiloxane, Glyceryl Stearate Se, Cholesterol, Steareth-10, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Cetyl Esters, Cetyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Tocopheryl Acetate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Algae Extract, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract, Saccharomyces Lysate Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Ceramide Ng, Isohexadecane, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Sucrose, Polysorbate 80, Acrylamide/Sodium Acryloyldimethyltaurate Copolymer, Xanthan Gum, Caprylyl Glycol, Hexylene Glycol, Citric Acid, Linoleic Acid, Panthenol, Fragrance (Parfum), Limonene, Citral, Linalool, Disodium Edta, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Sodium Citrate, Phenoxyethanol, [+/- Mica, Titanium Dioxide (Ci 77891), Iron Oxides (Ci 77491), Iron Oxides (Ci 77492), Iron Oxides (Ci 77499), Blue 1 (Ci 42090), Red 4 (Ci 14700), Red 33 (Ci 17200), Yellow 5 (Ci 19140)

• Oribe Straight Away Smoothing Blowout Cream –  Size received  .5 oz – I just love Oribe products. 1st of all, the smell is just amazing! I used about a quarter size of this on freshly washed, damp hair. Then I blew it out with a round brush and blow dryer. It kept my long hair smooth, shiny and frizz free for 3 days (probably could have lasted longer but I needed a wash). This Blowout Cream protects against heat and humidity, is infused with a heat activated protein, hydrolyzed quinoa and yacon root (which is a root vegetable typically grown in South America and looks like a sweet potato. Yacon is supposedly full of antioxidants). Ingredients: Aqua/Water/Eau, Cyclopentasiloxane, Glycerin, Phenyl Trimethicone, PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone, Dimethiconol, Divinyldimethicone/Dimethicone Copolymer, AMP-Acrylates/Allyl Methacrylate Copolymer, Magnesium Sulfate, Citrullus Lanatus (Watermelon) Fruit Extract, Litchi Chinensis (Lychee) Fruit Extract, Leontopodium Alpinum (Edelweiss) Extract, Polymnia Sonchifolia Root Juice, Hydrolyzed Quinoa, Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein PG-Propyl Silanetriol, Hydrolyzed Verbascum Thapsus Flower, Cetyl Triethylmonium Dimethicone PEG-8 Succinate, AMP-Acrylates Copolymer, Polyurethane-14, Bis-Cetearyl Amodimethicone, Ethylhexylglycerin, Disodium EDTA, C12-13 Pareth-23, C12-13 Pareth-3, Ceteareth-25, Ceteareth-7, Sodium PCA, Sodium Lactate, Biosaccharide Gum-1, Xanthan Gum, PCA, Arginine, Glycine, Alanine, Serine, Valine, Isoleucine, Proline, Threonine, Histidine, Phenylalanine, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Aspartic Acid, Citric Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin, Parfum/Fragrance, Citral, Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Linalool
