Birchbox - August 2013

Birchbox 1 of 2


Show Stoppers Designer Fashion Tape in Nude

Size Received: 2 strips
Value: $0.83

"Keep peekaboo bra straps and rebellious hems in check with these double-sided fashion tape strips. A secret tool in every celeb stylist’s arsenal, they stop the big reveal before it happens. We keep a pack of these strips in our desk drawer at all times. Think of them as your wardrobe’s little helpers."


Jasmine Seven Wipes in Fresh Feet

Size received: 2 wipes
Value: $0.66

"Schlepping around the city, or anywhere for that matter, can leave our feet a little…dirty. So when we discovered these purse-friendly wipes, we went a little wipe-crazy. In one quick swipe, they quickly freshen up our feet (or hands or yoga mat) faster than you can say “mani-pedi.”


Dreams Nail Lacquer 2-in-1 Base and Top Coat

Size Received: 7ml
Value: $5.25

"Our nail polish inventories are already perilously overstocked (can someone say “lack of storage space?”), which is why we love this two-in-one nail enamel from Dreams. The fast-drying formula serves as both a sheer base coat and top coat, saving us precious space for past and future polish-hoarding."


Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in Beso

Size Received: 0.03 fl oz
Value: $6.60

"We’re not exaggerating when we say this is the most long-lasting lipstick we’ve ever tried. We put it to the test and we’re happy to report that it didn’t stray or run even after our second cup of coffee and a messy Mexican lunch. The creamy formula glides on like a gloss yet has the staying power of a stain—all without drying out your lips. Take care when you apply because once it sets, it’s not budging!"


Juice Beauty Oil-Free Moisturizer

Size Received: 0.5 oz
Value: $7.00

"Nine times out of ten, moisturizers list water as one of their main ingredients. Juice Beauty’s oil-free hydrator is a standout exception to the rule. Their active-packed formula is made with a powerful base of organic juices so that every single drop feeds your skin. Full of antioxidants, it’s great for those with oily or blemish-prone skin since the lightweight formula won’t clog pores."

Box Cost: $10.00
Box Value: $20.34


Birchbox 2 of 2


Number 4 Super Comb Prep & Protect

Size Received: Not Labeled
Estimated Value: $4.50

"As self-confessed blow dryer addicts, we put our hair through a lot of stress. To keep our strands from a styling-induced meltdown, we’ve been using this extra hydrating leave-in conditioning mist. It doesn’t just protect hair from heat damage; it also doubles as a color protector and UV shield. The sulfate-free formula sinks in quickly and has a pretty floral scent thanks to white freesia, amber, and musk."


Jasmine Seven Wipes in Fresh Feet

Size received: 2 wipes
Value: $0.66

"Schlepping around the city, or anywhere for that matter, can leave our feet a little…dirty. So when we discovered these purse-friendly wipes, we went a little wipe-crazy. In one quick swipe, they quickly freshen up our feet (or hands or yoga mat) faster than you can say “mani-pedi.”


ModelCo Party Proof Lipstick in Disco Fever

Size Received: 1 of a Trio
Value: $8.00

"One thing is for certain: Parties are for practicing your best electric slide or teaching fellow revelers how to Dougie—not worrying about smudged lipstick. Gladly, this hydrating, semi-matte lip color lives up to its cheeky moniker. Whether you’re heading to a backyard BBQ or a black tie gala, it’s guaranteed to stay put through plates of baby back ribs, champagne toasts, and beyond."


Dr. Jart+ Premium Beauty Balm SPF 45+

Size Received: 0.17 fl oz
Value: $4.42

"We’re always skeptical when products promise the sun and the moon, but Dr. Jart’s Premium Beauty Balm truly delivers. A four-in-one primer, moisturizer, sunscreen, and treatment serum, the formula helps you cut down on the beauty cabinet clutter. Plus, this BB cream has advanced brightening properties and anti-aging benefits. Even Martha Stewart can’t boast multitasking skills quite like this."


Tan Towel Classic Formula Self-Tan Towelettes Half Body

Size Received: 1 Wipe
Value: $2.40

"If your skin has an Edward Cullen-like pallor, it’s time to consider a sunless tanner. But be careful, eager beaver: Not all self-tanners are created equal (we don’t know about you, but we’d rather be pale than orange). We’re particularly smitten with these easy-to-use, travel-friendly towelettes, which give you a natural-looking faux glow—no sun exposure required."

Box Cost: $10.00
Box Value: $19.98
