The December Birchbox put me in a festive mood with its firecracker images. For just $10 a month, you get five trial and/or full-size items. Let’s look at what the Birchbox Santa brought me.

This is basically coconut oil that Kopari priced at $32 for a full-size tube. Get yourself some refined coconut oil for a fraction of the price and it will work just as well.

Believe it or not, I don’t have an eyelash curler. This was a bonus gift in my box. Not sure how to use it on my short and sparse lashes but it’s nice to have.

I’m excited about this Sunday Riley C.E.O. serum which has vitamin C and vitamin E. Full-size is $85.

I’ve received several Marcelle mascaras in my subscription boxes, but this is a new formula for me called Ultimate Volume Nano mascara. Full-size is $15.

Matrix miracle creator is a heat protectant with natural oils. Full-size is $17.

This is something different. Love of Color liquid shimmer shadow in the color, Stardust. Full-size $10.

Stay blessed,

Barbie
