FREE GIFTS WITH PURCHASE
Final Thoughts
Ah it was so much fun getting so many different goodies from him and BirchBox! As you guys know, Birchbox offers a monthly subscription box as well as a full-working website, very similar to Ulta or Sephora. Lots of their products actually have free shipping as well and there are some great gift with purchase products as well, I definitely recommend that!
For this post, I'll just do a short preview kind of review on each item if I can. If there are any products in here that you want a FULL REVIEW on with DEMO, leave it in the comments :)
First off, the product I was actually most excited for the Coastal Scents Revealed 3 Palette. The colors in here were just so fun and did remind me a bit of my beloved Naked 3. I didn't think I should get the Revealed 1 or 2 because I have so many neutral palettes already. This one was definitely awesome, great price, pretty great pigmentation and I love the colors! Next up, the Benefit Cosmetics Lash Roller Mascara, I was pretty excited for this one as well. All the raving reviews, I can't wait to try it. I do enjoy the u-shaped brush, looks great for really lifting the lashes from the root/base.
Next is the Benefit Cosmetics Bo-in Concealer in 02, I am so glad I went a shade lower than I was going to choose, this one is perfect! I love how creamy it is and it does set nicely and seamlessly. Another product I found pretty high quality is the Marcelle Quad Blush in Ultimate Corals. Basically it is 4 different blushes but when blended together they create the most beautiful look! I love how pretty it is, its not too overboard and it still looks natural. To keep it simple, I also went with the Say Yes To Tomatoes Blemish Towelettes just to see how well they work. I actually used one to clean up my swatches from the eyshadow palette and it works great. There is a scent to it though, it's kind of a clean kind of lavender scent.
The Color Club Nail Polishes look pretty as well. I am not too into the satin kind of finishes but the blue definitely catches my attention! I also plan to travel soon so I also chose these travel makeup wipes from La Fresh. I haven't tried them out yet but I like that they come individually wrapped like sanitizer wipes. I am also a big fan of lip products. I do like a creamy finish and am not all into the matte colors. I went with the Cynthia Rowley Mini Lip Trio just because I love trying different colors. The lightest shade is absolutely beautiful! I find that the applicator is a little hard to work with but I'll keep trying it out to see how I like it later on. Last but not least is the Smashbox Try It Trio. I have actually never tried any of these products before. The foundation primer was more of a water gel versus the eyshadow primer which was more thick and silicone like. The mascara is full and looks like it would give great volume. The eyshadows also had pretty great pigmention and these are the basic colors you'd like.
As far as the free with purchase items go, I'm happy with them. The bag set is awesome as well as the liner and eyeshadow or highlighter. Man, I've just got to say that that eyeliner is SUPER pigmented and WATERPROOF! It really will not budge AT ALL which is pretty amazing. It is a gold/brown type of color and really pretty too! The eyeshadow/highlighter is also gorgeous, can't wait to see what I come up with that product.
Overall I am really happy with this swap! Did you enjoy this HUGEE haul? :) We made it! haha! Anything you guys want to see a full review on, leave it in the comments! A big thank you to FREEBIE NINJA! Stay tuned to see what I sent him ;) Check out his Youtube and say Hi for me :)
Hope you all enjoyed this swap!

Ahh I am so jealous of this! How did you get into doing swaps? I'd love to do one too, but I am afraid I will not do good. haha.
ReplyDeleteI will definitely do a post on that Joyce! Thank you for the suggestion! For the swatches, they did last pretty long and did leave a stain behind.

For swaps, just find a buddy and swap away :) You and Tessa together would be awesome!
