I've never actually gotten around to trying one before, which is a little embarrassing to tell the truth >.>. Also really happy about the wet and dry shampoo. I'm almost out of both, and lucky me, I have straight hair. It's not particularly thin, but I've used volume enhancing shampoos before and it's really no problem. I think dry shampoo is possibly one of the best inventions ever. I like having nice, clean feeling hair, but using wet shampoo every day makes it feel so stripped out and dry! Especially my poor color treated hair!
What I'm not so thrilled about, the nail polish and face cream. I don't wear polish on my finger nails; I work management in a restaurant and nail polish is a big no no for me. I do wear it on my toes, but I prefer blues and blacks down there. I don't know what color they're sending us, but I doubt it'll be suited to my preference. I'll certainly try it out though, just to see how the formula works. As for the face cream, it's a really expensive cream I'd never ever buy, but other than that, I'm 24, and I have slightly oily, acne prone skin. My skin absolutely does not play nice with anything made for dry skin and certainly doesn't need any sort of anti-aging help. Sooooo that's probably going to be gifted to my mother LOL!
But I mean what can you do? Last month I got a load of skin care products perfectly suited for my skin! Awesome. I actually bought the full size Paula's Choice and that Miracle Skin Microdermabrasion cream (btw anyone who really liked that, Amazon has it for about $10 cheaper. I bought it there because Dermstore was forecasting two weeks wait!) because I liked it so much. You win some you lose some. It's the beauty of a Mystery box!
I actually like that this subscription box isn't so cosmetic focused. It's one of the reasons I picked it. I do wear some makeup, but to be honest I'm way more in to skin care. I'd rather have nice looking skin and skip all the powders and foundations and what not. This is my second month in and I've yet to be disappointed.
I agree! This box has a nice mix of products and I think it's great they are including a very high end face cream (the Darphin. . .even though I'm sure it's just a deluxe sample, will feel like a luxurious treat). I just received the Oscar Blandi in my FFF box and like the Klorane dry shampoo much better. The Oscar Blandi has a stronger scent, a thicker texture, and just doesn't feel as 'natural' as the Klorane. I coughed a little when I sprayed it in my hair and it also made my scalp itch for awhile - the Klorane is the only dry shampoo I've used so far that doesn't make me feel like I'm clogging up my lungs with chemicals. The Jonathan shampoo looks nice and I love the color choices of the lip pencils . . overall, a nice variety and good value for the money.
