Originally thinking this was nail polish, this is actually a shimmery dry oil you apply to your skin for an extra glow. I did a small test on my inner arm and it surprisingly is not obnoxiously shimmery. The bottle is a bit deceiving. I am thinking maybe for my cheekbones or decolletage…
This is the tiniest nugget of a lip gloss I have ever seen! The bright pink (Birchbox’s signature color) does not show up as flashy as it appears. Just a hint of color and perfect for a day to evening look. I might keep this in my work drawer in case of an impromptu happy hour.
Love, love, love Benefit makeup, so this was quite a treat for me. I cannot wait to smooth on this primer tomorrow morning before applying my makeup. I tested out a small drop on my hand and it left my skin so silky smooth. Am I foreseeing a future purchase? Possibly, maybe, perhaps!
Has anyone else received their December Birchbox? I would love to hear what you got! Thoughts?

I really can’t wait for my first box to arrive; and I use that benefit stuff and it’s amazing a concealing pores.
The Nuxe looks interesting. I like shimmers!
Stephanie thanks for your comment! I hope you enjoy your first Birchbox. Hopefully they will do something fun for the New Year!
