In honour of September being our birthday month, we’ve been celebrating our place of birth (the good ol’ US of A) by singing the praises of the beauty products that hail from there too. So, this month, we asked Birchbox UK Guest Editor, Mary Greenwell, for her top 5 stateside products. Psst… don’t worry – they’re ALL available at The Birchbox Shop!
1. Beauty Protector Protect and Shampoo
This is a wonderful range of hair and body care that is exclusive to Birchbox. So why do I love it? It smells wonderful! Also it is full of fortifying ingredients and vitamins with sulphate-free cleaning agents to help heal and restore, plus guard against damage caused by styling and heat.
2. Paula’s Choice RESIST Barrier Repair Replenishing Moisturizer
This is also a brand that is exclusive to Birchbox. It is a capsule skincare collection out of USA and I highly recommend it. This anti-ageing, wrinkle-fighting light cream is the perfect top layer to your moisturising regime and great for under make up while also evens skin tone, and helps firm our tired skin.
3. Laura Mercier Ambre Vanille Souffle Body Cream
Laura Mercier Body Creams have reached cult status. This is because they smell heavenly while being highly nourishing. It contains vanilla extract and honey to smooth and protect all day. This is a must-have product to keep even the driest of skins protected all day. Your body will feel like silk!
4. Stila In The Moment Eyeshadow Palette
Nothing could be more ‘in the moment’ than this palette. The colour are absolutely ‘right now’ and of course the textures are so easy to blend. There are the warm chestnuts, pinks, beige, gold and wonderful purple hues, both bright and deep, which are right on for this autumn/winter makeup looks.
5. Benefit They’re Real! Mascara
In my view, no other product will do more for you than mascara! It is my desert island must have. This best seller hits hard, giving volume and length, while being run and smudge proof. It will give you those lashes more oomph than ever before….while being quick and easy to apply. A girl’s dream.
