Check out the below video for a detailed comparison and swatches of Color Club Wanderlust Collection “Pardon My French” for Birchbox vs Sinful Colors Sweet Tooth. Both are pastel purples but with slightly different looks.
Tag: Color Club nail polish (page 1 of 1)
What’s inside:
- Birchbox and Color Club® Custom Collection in “Put a Pin In It” : love it, I’m thinking the other shades are enticing as well.
- twistband™ Lace up for Fall
- The Brush Guard Variety Pack
- Fekkai Essential Shea Shampoo & Fekkai Essential Shea Conditioner : scary ingredients. Didn’t even bother running a custom report on this one after taking a closer look. Add in that it would cost $50 total for shampoo and conditioner and I’ll pass on buying a full size version any time soon.
- Dr. Jart+ Water Fuse Beauty Balm SPF 25+ : This BB Cream is a 5 according to a custom report with the Cosmetics Database. The big problems are parabens. For me two additional problems (for breakouts) are talc and dimethicone. I tried it on anyway… it just was all wrong for me.
- BVLGARI Mon Jasmin Noir : again with the synthetic fragrances
Bonuses:
- Madewell Coupon for $25 off a purchase of $75 or more (sorry, this one is not sharable.)
- Digital Download: Tristan Prettyman http://www.tristanprettyman.com/bb
So favorite things from this box: nail polish, hair tie, and brush covers.

- Color Club nail polish in Blue-Ming – looks like Essie Turquoise & Caicos in the bottle but they are different enough on that I’m glad I have both. The Color Club is a little brighter and a little more in your face whereas the Essie is a little more demure.
- Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner in Black (not waterproof)
- Harvey Prince fragrance in Eau Flirt (you know the drill by now, synthetic fragrance is not my thing)
- Supergoop! City Sunscreen Serum – this is ok. There are better but this is acceptable: http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/company/Supergoop%21/
Here’s the 2012 Sunscreen Guide: http://breakingnews.ewg.org/2012sunscreen/ - Tea Forté Minteas Reboot in Cocoa Mate – these are organic and have yerba mate as an ingredient. I thought I had these in some other flavors but it turned out that what I had were actually SenCha mints in different flavors. These taste VERY similar.
- Neon Earbuds – cute but lacking in bass… tried them after the video and they’re a little too tin-y. I’ve actually bought $10 earbuds before that sound better than these. I was kinda excited to get these but they ended up in the trash they were bad enough.
