Pointe Studio Jett Grip Light Socks - Value $12

birchbox-limited-edition-refresh-and-reset-box-january-2017-0045

I have a few pairs of Pointe Studio socks and they are great for mat workouts, or even just wearing around the house!

birchbox-limited-edition-refresh-and-reset-box-january-2017-0046

The grippy bottoms make them SUPER non-slip!

ARROW REFRESH On-the-Go Cleansing Cloths – FULL SIZE! Value $12

I've liked what I've sampled from Birchbox's Arrow line so far. All their products are vegan, paraben-free, cruelty-free, and gluten-free.

These wipes have a refreshing peppermint scent, and designed to be a quick refresh after a workout or just throughout the day. (They're more about a refreshing than removing makeup, though.) And the minty scent is perfectly fitting, too!

Eyeko Sport Waterproof Mascara - 4 ml Value $13

birchbox-limited-edition-refresh-and-reset-box-january-2017-0042

I've sampled this mascara before, and it has AMAZING staying power. Waterproof, smudgeproof, ANYTHINGproof!

It provides good lash separation, and pretty good length and volume as well. Unfortunately, I found the formula to be a little irritating to my eyes, and my regular mascara stays put well enough, so this isn't replacing my tarte!

Avène Thermal Spring Water - Travel Size Value $9

birchbox-limited-edition-refresh-and-reset-box-january-2017-0040

I use water mists every day, so I’m always happy to get more in a subscription box! They are great for a quick refresh any time, and you can spray them over makeup, too. (Also great for hydrating skin after airplane travel.)

S’well 9 oz. Bottle in Amethyst Quartz - Value $25

(Boxes will either include this color or Glitter Sangria)

birchbox-limited-edition-refresh-and-reset-box-january-2017-0033

S'well bottles are always wonderful to see in subscription boxes! This one has a “quartz” texturized finish so it is easier to grab, too. 

Here it is in hand to give you a better sense of scale:

LuxilyBoutiqueAugust-071

This one is tiny enough not to take up too much space in your bag, and it keeps liquids cold for 24 hours, or hot for 12 hours.

birchbox-limited-edition-refresh-and-reset-box-january-2017-0037

R+Co ANALOG Cleansing Foam Conditioner - 1.5 oz Value $7.25

birchbox-limited-edition-refresh-and-reset-box-january-2017-0038

This is a cleansing conditioner that lets you skip the shampoo step. It's also a foam/whipped conditioner, which is good for me because I often worry about overdoing it with cleansing conditioners and ending up with greasy hair.

I don't mind the scent, but it isn't my favorite R+Co scent - that honor goes to their dry shampoo!

HUM Nutrition Raw Beauty Green Superfood Powder (3 packets) - Value $5

birchbox-limited-edition-refresh-and-reset-box-january-2017-0048

I've been seeing HUM Nutrition everywhere lately (Sephora, goop, etc.) and it seems like their products get amazing reviews, too!

birchbox-limited-edition-refresh-and-reset-box-january-2017-0049

This green superfood powder is designed to "help boost energy and metabolism while creating radiant skin." It also includes probiotics and is free of gluten, soy, GMOs, artificial colors/flavors, etc.

You can blend this powder with water, milk, juice, or a smoothie. I tried it with coconut milk, and I liked the subtle mint chocolate flavor. It's not too sweet, but I had no problem drinking the entire glass, and I could see this becoming part of my morning routine.

FYI - HUM also has their own subscription, and you get 25% off when you order 3 or more items a month, and you can use coupon code HUM10 and referral code 1180A6 to save a total of $20 off your first order of $29 or more!

Living proof. Perfect hair Day Dry Shampoo - Travel Size Value $12

 

birchbox-limited-edition-refresh-and-reset-box-january-2017-0036

I think this is my all time favorite dry shampoo. First, I LOVE all things from Living Proof (their formulas are free of any ingredients you may want to avoid and everything smells amazing.) Second, this spray does a great job of absorbing excess oil and making hair look fresh and clean.

(One word of caution, though: this spray is white and not clear, so if you overdo it on dark hair, you'll have to brush it out a bit!)

 

Verdict: This box has a value of about $95! I think that's a good value for a $45 box. (And even better with the 15% off deal - making this box about $38.) Aside from the mascara, everything is a good fit for me, too. (And who doesn't want another S'well bottle?) 🙂

Trying to decide if $38 is worth it – I really like the water bottle and would love to try the HUM products. Everything else is just OK for me. Just seems annoying that Birchbox has it overvalued compared to Liz’s valuation of it.

Got mine yesterday and really like it!

I’d consider getting another one too if I could pick my s’well color and get the other one. I really like the smaller size.

I think I’ll be using or packing most of these things on my next vacation

I think this box is only good if you can find a really good coupon code for it, but Birchbox knows people will always buy their limited edition boxes like crazy.

I’m on the fence. The bottle is great and everything else is good for travel. Like it could be a vacation box.
