Hey Rosés,

The February Birchbox was filled with products to keep you soft and glowing for Valentine’s Day, both two features that can be hard to achieve if you have sensitive skin and allergies. There were some great finds in this love box, see what got the best ratings below.

To see which other Birchboxes had great products, check out December and top-notch January.

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant®

Champagne Rating: 4 out of 5 bottles

Excellent alternative for skin that normally rips and tears from abrasive exfoliants. Once you add water to this powder it feels thin, but after a few days I did notice smoother skin like a normal exfoliator but without the irritation. The powder is also great for travel since dry spills are easier to clean up than liquid spills.

Ingredients: Microcrystalline Cellulose, Magnesium Oxide, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate, Colloidal Oatmeal, Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Starch, Allantoin, Papain, Salicylic Acid, Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, PCA, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Populus Tremuloides Bark Extract, Cyclodextrin, Lauryl Methacrylate/Glycol Dimethacrylate Crosspolymer, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Limonene, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Peel Oil, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891).

Jouer Luminizing Moisture Tint in Bronze

Champagne Rating: 4 out of 5 bottles

Love this tint! The hint of bronze shimmer prevents that gray shadow I fear from most tinted moisturizers with SPF. It gives light enough coverage to have that “no make up feel,” but just enough for a dewy look. SPF 20 sunscreen will block sun’s evil rays and wrinkles while gentle moisturizers keep you soft. It does contain parabens so unfortunately I cant give it a full 5!

colorescience pro® Mineral Bronzer Face Color in Kissed By The Sun

Champagne Rating: 3 out of 5 bottles

This self-tanner and bronzer actually came in a reusable “Go and Glow Travel Puff.” Such a fun concept, the puff and special pouch comes pre “moistened” with dry bronzing powder and you can store in your purse for quick touch-ups. Once the makeup is gone, puff can be washed and reused. Love the Eco-friendly use, but the actual powder was a bit chalky and made me look too matte. I do recommend for oily skin looking for a matte powder, self-tanner and puff in one. 

Ingredients: Micronized titanium dioxide and micronized zinc oxide, mica, iron oxide and bismuth oxychloride, manganese biolet, carmine, and pearl powder.

Eye Rock Designer Liner

 Champagne Rating: 3 out of 5 bottles

For those who have trouble creating a cat or winged eye, these eye liner strips were fun and easy to put on! I used tweezers to apply the self-adhesive press-on eye liner, and did a quick trim with scissors to fit my eyes. It was fun for a night on the town, but doesn’t look natural enough to wear during the day. There was no irritation from the adhesive glue, but towards the end of the night it was getting loose and started to ripple. Birchbox recommends using lash glue to combat that.
