October 2011 Birchbox

My October Birchbox was waiting for me when I got home this afternoon, and I must say that I'm pretty pleased with this month's haul. Not only did my box have a nice combination of skincare and makeup products, but all of the products are perfect for this transition from summer to fall.

This month's theme was "Prep & Finish," and according to the card that came with the box, the products inside are supposed "to help you prep and polish skin, body, and hair... [to] help you become your most gorgeous self from start to finish." In my box were samples for the following products:

First glimpse inside the box

• amika Obliphica Hair Treatment
• Anastasia Beverly Hills HydraFull Gloss in Bellini
• Clark's Botanicals Intense Radiance Mask
• Laura Geller Spackle Tinted Under Makeup Primer in Bronze
• The Laundress Wool & Cashmere Shampoo (this was my extra this month)

Top products: Laura Geller primer, The Laundress Wool & Cashmere Shampoo
Bottom products: amika Hair Treatment, Clark's mask, Anastasia lip gloss

 I've tried the lip gloss, hair treatment, and mask, and so far I'm really liking all three of them.
