The Origins charcoal mask is really great! I use it in a somewhat odd way, I put it on before I get in the shower, go through my whole shower routine and wash the mask off as the very last thing. It's drying, so make sure you follow it up with a good moisturizer, but it's really good and leaves my skin so smooth and soft.

I also use the Korres Wild Rose Brightening Sleeping Facial as my nightly moisturizer =) It smells really good and leaves my skin super soft and hydrated. I looove this stuff. I've repurchased it 5+ times in between samples and such. I really like the texture of it, too, because it's thick, but not heavy feeling.

The Briogeo mask...I don't like that, actually. It has an odd smell to it, and it's really thin so I felt like I had to use a ton in my hair, and it ran down when I stuck my hair up in a bun to let it soak in. It also left my hair a little more greasy than I'm used to, especially because I have other oil-based hair masks that really don't leave my hair greasy at all.

I'm glad you're excited for this box, it looks nice!

I am subscribed & my first box arrived yesterday. I'm thinking everyone's box is the same? I used to get Birchbox and I loved it, but I had a ton of samples stored up so I quit for 9 months and decided to try Sephora. I actually like the bite lipstick because I have rosacea and no matter how red my cheeks get, this lipstick is still brighter😉I have tried the hair mask from another sample and it was just ok on my sorta dry curly hair. You're right that the lip liner sample is small and I also agree that the orange perfume is heavenly!! I will have to give the skin care stuff a try when my skin can tolerate it:

Hannah- thanks for your opinions, I'm glad to hear the masks are good! :) and now you have me excited for the Korres Facial! I'll see how my hair reacts to the Briogeo Mask. lol

Allison- yes everyone gets the same products. And glad to hear you like the Bite Lipstick, and yeah I was thinking that they were going to send a full sized one lol but it's a pretty color though. And omg I fell in love with the orange perfume I don't know if I should purchase it for myself or my boyfriend! Lol and good luck on the skin products! :)

Dana- I'm sure you can try again to subscribe. And yes The lip pencil is great, I love mauve colors! 😍

The Korres is by far my favorite, I hope you like it! =) Please do share your opinions on everything once you have a chance to use them! Also, I forgot to mention that the new Bite lipstick formula is really great! I have two, Radish and Sangria, and they're really nice. they smell great and I find that they last a really long time, but they're super moisturizing. Kimchi is way too bright for me, though =)

I hope I like it as much as you do. And I will I'm waiting to shower so I can try all my stuff. I'm so impatient when it comes to trying new products. lol and ohh really? I'll have to try one but in a different color lol I don't like bright pinks.

May 19, 2016

Hannah K.

Omg, me too. I am the absolute most impatient, lol. It used to be so bad because I'd buy like 6 face creams to try and open them all at once and try them. It was such a waste, but I've gotten way better about making sure I use up everything I've got before buying something new =)

Yeah, the formula is really good! My next is going to be the color Taro, I think.

Thanks for the review! I don't subscribe to any subscription boxes, but it is a pretty cool idea, and it looks like you got some neat stuff! I think you should try Kimchi! From your profile pic I think it would look beautiful! Obviously if you don't like it then it's silly to wear it, but it's always a bit fun to push past our comfort zone sometimes. :)

Jessica P.

Yeah I usually can't wait and I pile everything on instead of waiting, lol and that's good to hear and I don't know if I'll change that about me. :P lol


And I'll definitely have to check them out then. thanks! :)

You're Welcome Jamie, and I will try the color with a simple wing look and see how it is. I do like trying new stuff just pinks I don't know about them for me lol

I just got my box today but I'm not doing my unboxing until tomorrow, lol. I believe everyone gets a couple things that are different but I could be wrong.

I absolutely love the Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask! It helps clear my pores so much, especially when I'm breaking out. I don't find it to be very drying but I have normal to oily skin so that could be why.

May 19, 2016

Jessica P.

Yeah I'm not sure if everyone does get them same products either.


And yeah I'm excited for that, I don't think I'd mind the drying also since my skin has been oily lately. Lol

I understand. For the longest time I hated oranges, and I think that sometimes it's about finding that particular shade that changes your mind. Kimchi might be it for you! Or maybe not, but that just means you have to keep searching!  ;)

May 19, 2016

Jessica P.

Jaime- yeah it all depends on a shade. But I'll yes I'll give it a try :)

Fun box! I miss my Birchbox too and was thinking of going back to my subscription but like Allison I had a BUNCH of samples stored up to a point where I kept giving them away lol but this Sephora play box looks interesting ESP cuz I LOVE Sephora.. I hope you enjoy those samples and that TARTE liner does look nice! 😋

I just got my box today and I used the origins charcoal mask and I must say I am impressed! I have extremely sensitive skin so masks kinda make me nervous since I've used some that irritate my skin and make it so red but this one did not! My skin wasn't irritated in the slightest and no redness! my skin felt so great right after I used it and I can tell a little bit of product goes a long way so I think its worth the money to buy the full size.

Allison I love the charcoal mask too! And I'm definitely buying a full sized one!
