October 2012 Birchbox unboxing - Goop box edition

Better late than never since I opened my box up almost a week ago and am now just blogging about it.

So this month Birchbox gave me the option of selecting a limited edition Goop Box or selecting the regular Birchbox so I opted to receive the limited edition Goop box. 

So here is what I received in my box this month . . . 

So here are all the products I received.



I received an Essie nail polish in "Lady Like"

So a breakdown of what I got listed on the product card...

Essie | goop Pick - Between the cheeky names and the on-trend hues, essie can do no wrong. You can wear this classic shade all season. Full-size, $8
jouer | Lip Enhancer - The best-seller gives you the moisturizing punch of a blame with the satiny finish of a gloss. We're hooked and we know you will be, too! Full-size, $14
Kiehl's | Rosa Arctica Eye - Conquer dark circles with this brightening eye balm, which is made with collagen0boosting resurrection flower extracts. Full-size, $46
supergoop! | City Sunscreen Serum - Wear this award-winning brand's silky SPF 30 serum under your makeup for a weightless UV shield. Full-size, $20-$42
Luna | LemonZest (Lifestyle Extra) - These zesty snacks are a goop fave. They're perfect for keeping you full in between meals (plus they can double as a healthy dessert!). Pack of 15, $18.75

So for my personal opinion on unboxing the products I am overall somewhat pleased with everything. The full-size Essie nail polish definitely makes me happy. My only issue is this is technically suppose to be a "Goop" box and if you don't include the lifestyle extra only 2 items are considered "Goop" and the sunscreen is really just being recycled from left over samples I feel like. (In a previous birchbox the sunscreen was a product sample)

But like I said overall I am somewhat pleased I am definitely excited to use the Kiehl's Rosa Arctica Eye balm, and since I opened my box a week ago I have been able to very the nail polish and I love the color on me! 

If you are interested in trying Birchbox it is a $10 monthly subscription box that rewards you with 10 points for every monthly subscription box you receive. Or every $10 spent in their shop. These points can be used in the Birchbox shop on your favorite products!
