RUSK Volumizing Mousse ($3.38) I wasn’t too excited when I saw this because I’ve receive the volumizing spray multiple times, but this is the mousse! I’ll use it the next time I blow dry my hair (which isn’t all that often) so this size is perfect for me!
Dr. Jart+ Dermask Vital Hydra Solution Deep Hydration Sheet Mask ($6) I love Dr. Jart! This mask is designed to really rehydrate your skin and keep it smooth and glowing. Full size!

 theBalm cosmetics Balm Desert Bronzer/Blush ($2.11) This has a really nice tone and works well with my skin with a light application, but the sample size is really small and it’s hard to apply. I guess it’s one of those things that if you love it you should just get the big size, but I never go through that much bronzer to start with!
St. Tropez Gradual Tan In Shower Lotion ($6.25) I heard about this product earlier this year and I can’t wait to see if it actually works. Apply in the shower, leave on for three minutes, and rinse.

Whoops, I forgot to open the bronzer/swatch it.

Well, this is a nice little set, but ultimately kind of boring. I just got all my hair chopped off yesterday and haven’t been planning to re-color it at the moment. I love the smell of Oribe products, but I may pass this one on to a friend who will be more excited about it. My Birchbox Soho BYOB box aside, I’ve felt that the regular Birchboxes have been declining in value a little bit, but that just be a couple of meh boxes for me. This box had about $25 in value, which is perfectly acceptable, but I’d like to see closer to $28, especially when I get shampoo & conditioner foil packets.  My Upgraded Birchbox looks really fun – except that I already know I don’t like one of the upgrade items. Look for that review soon!
