I was surprised to arrive home and find my box waiting for me - I wasn't terribly excited by this months box but I wasn't dramatically disappointed either. More of a "sigh". Kind of like opening a present and discovering socks. Will I use all of these items? Yes. Was there anything exciting? Not by my standards.
The good:
I'm excited to receive a sunblock/moisturizer. I have rosacea and require both a sunscreen and moisturizer every day and I'm always testing new products in both camps so I'm happy to have this, and a reasonably sized bottle (I thought this bottle would be bigger but if it's a good product I won't complain)
I put on the lip gloss in the mirror and said to myself "well this has no color at all, i hate glosses that are bright in the tube and bland on my lips". Then I walked into another room and wow what a difference lighting made. It's a bright pop of color, but not as bright and harsh as a lipstick. I really find the color to be flattering and bright without being overpowering, I may even guy the full size as a splurge one day.
the meh:
brown eyeliner - i'm sure i'll use it. I like cargo and find it to be a good brand. I prefer automatic liners to the ones you have to sharpen but i realize i'm being a whiner. I wish it was a funner color but i accept other people receiving this box would be annoyed with a fun color and it's hard to please everyone.
eyelash serum: I would never in a million years buy this for myself. That said I would consider this a fun treat and i'm curious to see how well it works.
the bad:
my mascara arrived dried out. I'll be emailing customer service and hoping for the best.
Root lifting spray? not my cup of tea, I have super thick hair so I don't need any extra volume.
