This Month's Whimseybox project is Needle Felting. I had always seen Needle Felting before, and always wanted to try it, but I wasn't confident that I would be able to do it. I am really excited to try this project next week! Below is what I received in this month's box:
I was excited to try this Limited Edition Birchbox out this month. I had seen other Limited Edition boxes come into my inbox before, but I never had actually bought one. The Birchbox Finds box came into my inbox, and I figured that since it was only $18, what could I lose? All Birchbox Finds are mass produced products that you can normally find at drugstores, so these products are easy to get.
COVERGIRL Bombshell Shine Shadow by LashBlast™
I honestly probably won't use this product very often. I'm not a huge fan of frosted looking eyeshadow (it kind of reminds me of middle school). Maybe I'll find a way to use it that works, but I can't think of it now.
Bioré Self Heating One Minute Mask I am so excited to try these masks! I remember when I was younger and I used their pore strips. They were really fun and really effective. I am excited to see what it means by self-heating, because apparently it reacts with the water and it heats up. I'm going to try these later today, so we will see how this goes :)
NIVEA Kiss of Care & Color
This was by far, my absolute most favorite thing that I got in this box. I am kind of obsessed with Chapstick, and this gives me the moisture of Chapstick, but the color of a lipgloss. It goes on really light, and doesn't feel sticky. I really love the color, it is very light and doesn't overpower my face.
Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure™
I'm always excited to get nail polish- no matter what brand or what color. I love this color pink, and I am excited to try it out. I'm usually not a huge fan of Sally Hanson brushes, because they are really large. I find it really hard to paint my nails with a large brush because it is difficult to keep the color in the nail bed.
John Frieda Frizz Ease® Nourishing Oil Elixir I'm always very concerned to try any hair oils because my hair gets oily on its own after one day. I tried it yesterday and surprisingly it worked really well. My hair was really shiny, and it didn't look more oily than normal by the next morning. I think that it helped that I only used less than a pea sized amount.
Rimmel London Stay Glossy 3D Lipgloss I'm not sure what my issue is with frosted makeup, but I'm not a fan of frosted lipgloss either. This doesn't seem like my style at all, and honestly I probably won't even try it.
COVERGIRL Bombshell Volume by LashBlast™ Mascara
I was excited to try this mascara, because I had kind of created my own system like this with two different mascaras. I liked how this mascara looked when I first put it on, but it seemed sticky throughout the day and it looked clumpy at the end of the day.
Overall, there were some hits and some misses in this box, but it was definitely worth the $18 that I paid for it!
