I received my first month of Birchbox the other day. The samples included were as follows...
Kate Spade Twirl perfume, for the perfume junkie that I am this is a fav, I've been wanting to test this scent away from a store setting to get the full range of it.
Zoya nail polish, I think from the holiday jewel collection
Jouer lip enhancer, this is also a favorite sample, as I'm also addicted to lip balms. This one has a light rose water scent to it, but it's not too much.
Coasters from Two Paperdolls
A ponytail elastic from Alex and Isabelle
And finally a JR Watkins peppermint foot salve
I really can't wait to get my next box!! If this sounds interesting to you check it out here Birchbox

Sweet Anthem - Annabelle
Annabelle is a fall limited edition. I'm actually really liking this one.
It's dry and clean, but as usual from Meredith, complex. I'm thinking the notes are green, grassy, or water. With some slight floral.
Here is the description from the shop...#026: ANNABELLE – Sweltering jasmine flowers cling to a cloud of osmanthus, and the spray of sea air and salty musk will surely keep you oceanside even though the summer respite has left us. (Marine)
• Top Notes: Sea Salt
• Heart Notes: Jasmine, Osmanthus
• Base Notes: White Amber

The Dirty Housewife - Light Workers
Light Workers is the last of my three samples from The Dirty Housewife, and at first I thought this isn't my favorite, but I've totally changed my mind.
It started out sharp, but that was gone really quick. Now it's really clean, but not soapy.
Here is the description...Essence: an ethereal blend of a deep and mystic wood that holds the secrets of cassis, ylang & spicy carnation with white amber, incense, moss and patchouli and a touch of sweet vanilla. Kudzu blossoms and chamomile shine brightly in the sunshine while notes of absinthe add a magical quality. A symphony of bright white Edelweiss blooms will remind you to "bloom and grow

The Dirty Housewife - Soulmates
This one started out like a cinnamon cookie. Now it's moved on to something else, I can't quite place.
Right now this is a gourmand scent.
Description from Etsy shop...Find yours with this rich and decadent blend of a pheromone increasing, soul stimulating, comfort loving pumpkin and lavender. That's right, I said Pumpkin and Lavender! Studies have shown that this scent combination is one of the most stimulating for men. Certain fragrances are extremely popular among men and are recognized as being aphrodisiacs. Believe it or not, these scents have nothing to do with pheromones. Instead, they're usually sweet, decadent, rich scents that either evoke a special memory or affirm a sense of security.
Essence: rich, sweet, and almost foody-like perfect pumpkin starts out bold and thick. It will lead you into a cool Autumn night that is spicy warm and inviting with a heart that has notes of lavender(essential oil), vodka, and heliotrope-jasmine, gardenia and honeysuckle and ends with a rhapsody of amber, caramel, vanilla, sandalwood and pralines.
Like i said, this one is ultra rich...at first, kinda like lust then dries down with the comforting sweetness of love.
While this certainly starts out as a foody type fragrance, it magically transforms itself into an everyday perfume.
Absolutely perfect for Autumn/Winter but will be enjoyed all year as well

The Dirty Housewife - 9
Another new find for me is The Dirty Housewife, also an Etsy shop found here The Dirty Housewife
I picked up three samples to try from this shop located in New Hampshire.
9 is awesome!! I smell fruit, maybe vanilla. It's a really nice blend that just suits my mood today.
I'm in love with this
Here is the description from the shop...According to Numerology , the number 9 is the most magical number and also one of the luckiest.
Essence: sweet, soft , and sexy orchid vanilla beans with saucy valencia oranges, Sparkling Bergamot, Tangerine Zest, Tart Cassis, Neroli, Ground Pepper, Fiery Chili Pepper, and Sheer Musk. A touch of tuscan aged lace, white magnolia blooms and edelweiss.
This a perfect and bright combo of floral and citrus and grounded by velvet vanilla. Just lovely and magical, really
