One of my other favorite things I got in my October Bitchbox is the Miss Jessie's Original Pillow Soft Curls cream.
I do not have super curly hair, well not anymore at least, now I have (on my best day) super wavy hair. I tried this stuff out abut a week ago, and I was surprised at how soft my hair was after I used it! With all air the bleaching and processing I have put my hair through recently, it made my hair super soft. As for the curl part...it was okay. It definitely made the waves more bouncy and defined than they usually are, which is nice considering how damaged my hair is.
After a shower towel dry your hair, and while it is still damp put in about a nickel/quarter size amount all through your hair. Scrunch it up with your hands and let it air dry, or use a blow dryer, and you are ready to go. You can also use this to refresh your curls if your hair is already dry too. Just dampen your hair a bit and massage in some more product, let it air dry and you're good!
The only downside I found was the smell. I really felt that I smelled like my grandma >.< While I love my grandmas, I dont necessarily want to smell like them. I worry that it would effect any perfume that I was wearing for the day.
On a scale of 1 - 10, I would give this a 7. It is something that I would recommend to someone with curly hair, but the smell really kills it for me. Maybe I could find the right fragrance to layer with it and it wouldn't stand out so much.
A full size is 8.5 fl oz for $22.00 in the Birchbox shop.

Birchbox - October!
My second month back and I already am reminded of why I loved getting these boxes! I was graced with some amazing samples this month and I cannot wait to share.
A quick run through of what I got in my box, and then I will follow that up with individual posts for each item as I try it out.
This month included:
See! Awesome huh? And two of those are full sized ^_^
Take a look at my crappy quality instagram flick
Another bonus I didn't mention last month is, with Birchbox if you go and review the products you receive on their site, you get 10 points for each item. Every 100 points you earn you get $10 in the Birchbox store. Every dollar you spend is equal to 1 point too. Basically you can rack up 100 points every 2 or 3 months if you keep up with it! And if you forget, which I have been known to do, I have emailed customer service my review and they have given me credit after. You have a year to spend your points, so really you could end up with $50+ to spend, just for answering a few questions about the items you got.
I do have to say that the customer service at Birchbox is really some of the most amazing that I have dealt with. They are super accommodating, if something gets mixed up they fix it and then some! I have had items come in broken, and if they can they will replace it. In one case it was out of stock and they gave me 100 points, that's $10 for a sample that broke! They are super nice, and awesome to talk to at any time.
Stay tuned...same Looney channel, same Looney time! ^_~
