Birchbox Skin Quenchers Collection Box is a new special edition kit from Birchbox. If Birchbox puts items together in a kit/box/collection - I will buy that kit/box/collection, so I grabbed this as soon as it went on sale. (It's still available).

My Subscription Addiction paid for this box. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes).

birchbox-skin-quenchers-dr-brandt

dr. brandt® xyy dual fusion water - FULL SIZE! Value $32

Love that this item alone is worth more than the cost of the box! This makeup/oil/dirt remover is designed to be used in place of a cleanser/water combo. You put some on a cotton swab, sweep over face, and you're done - no need to rinse. I found the formula to be gentle and it didn't dry out my skin.

birchbox-skin-quenchers-mist

derma e® Hydrating Mist with Hyaluronic Acid - FULL SIZE! Value $13.50

I like the derma e brand and I found this mist formula to be hydrating and gentle - I just wish it wasn't scented! This spray has a Plumeria Blossom Fragrance that isn't for me. Fortunately, it semi-fades away after you spray it but in general, I like my facial skincare products to be unscented.

birchbox-skin-quenchers-juara

JUARA Candlenut Body Creme – 1.5 oz Value $7.60

I love a decadent body cream! And considering how thick the cream is, I'm impressed with how quickly it absorbs. (This isn't one of those body butters that leaves your skin feeling a little greasy).

birchbox-skin-quenchers-skyn

Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré (24-Hour Miracle Cream) – 5 ml Value $2.60

This is a cult-classic beauty item that can be used as a moisturizer, makeup remover, cleanser, mask, etc. I used it as a moisturizer, and I like how light it is. It's pretty inexpensive for a moisturizer too ($16 for the full size), so I will likely buy it in the future.

Skyn Iceland Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels (1 pair) Value $3.75

I've sampled these before thanks to Birchbox and Ipsy and I like them. You only have to leave them on for 10 minutes, and they stay in place (they're more sticky than gel-y) so they're easy enough for me. They immediately feel refreshing when I put them on, and when I remove them, the skin under my eyes feels softer.

birchbox-skin-quenchers-when

When™ 10:00 PM Sheet Mask (1 mask) - Value $7

This is one of those masks that you leave on for a while (30 min), so I haven't had a chance to try it yet. When masks get great reviews on Birchbox though, so I think I'll need to make time for this one.

Verdict: This box has a value of about $66. I paid $22.40 with the coupon code, so I'm thrilled with the value. And all these products are quality items too. I still can't get over how amazing the Juara body creme is - the formula is some kind of magic!

Thank you for the review – I must have missed it when they first came out, so I wouldn’t have known it otherwise! I purchased it based on your review and received it just in time for my birthday. I am much more into skincare than makeup, so this is a great box for me. Just wanted to mention that Embryolisse cream comes in larger size, which is also available at Birchbox, but Amazon sells much cheaper. I haven’t tried it or purchased from Amazon, but by looking at the number of reviews, they look legit. Just wanted to mention it 🙂

I got mine today and the Dr. Brandt box was busted and it looked like it was leaking so I emailed BB and see what they say 🙂

Is this shipped in just the little pack and not a cute box?

Hi! I received this kit yesterday and had a question about the Dr. Brandt cleanser…Liz…or anyone who received theirs…did your bottle have any type of seal on it? I know it comes in a box, but mine was all ripped up and open (I assume just from transit) when it arrived, so i wanted to make sure it was fine to use. Thanks!

Liz Cadman

Mine did not have an inner seal.

Thank you!!! Just wanted to double check since it’s going on my face. lol can’t wait to try it now! 🙂

Jennifer

I got this the other day and have had a chance to try everything and I am in love with every single product in this kit! The dual fusion water is amazing and it might replace all my other cleansers, and that hydrating mist is so refreshing! I might order another one of these kits since I love and will use everything in it. What a steal!

Liz, just so you know codes ‘COMEBACK20’ and ‘TAKEOFF20’ are no longer valid

They only don’t work if you’ve used them before. If you haven’t, they’re still good.

waiting for mine – hopefully today or tomorrow

LOVE this box! I knew I would. I’ll use all of these products. I added the sheet mask, Mask Madness, sampler and two samples, with 20% off, and my points, I spent about $15!
I love sheet masks, and a full sized dr. brandt product made this box a must-have.
I’ll probably order all of it again!

I wanted to try this box, but I wouldn’t use 1 of the 2 full size items. I don’t use the makeup remover/cleansing water. I really only want the samples and the spray, which seems like it’s not completely worth it for me. Still undecided!

Anne

I can’t get any of the codes to work. Does anyone have a code that does?

Reply ButtonReply

Jennifer

Most of the codes only work with purchases over $35 so maybe add to the cart then check?

Reply ButtonReply

Michelle

Thanks for the tip; I added an item to bring my cart up to $35 and then the code worked. I’m still paying $28, but getting that bonus item kinda sealed the deal for me. Plus I get a mystery sample pack; I know those are hit or miss, but it’s free, so why not?! It’s not like I have way too many sample items cluttering my bathroom and closet already… oh, wait…

Andrea

Aw hell. Broke down and bought it. Looks like a really good box. Finally got a code to work and used points. Can’t wait to get it. It does look promising!

Yesss! Got my box last night too! LOVE The Juara Cream. I rarely buy the full size of samples (Im a product junkie and actually get a thrill out of new products – Im kind of not that loyal hahaha) but this? This is magic, as you said. Excited to receive the full size xyy Dual Fusion Water. Im hoping it does what it claims to do! LOVE this limited edition box. I paid $6 for this, a full size Bella Freesia Candle plus the 2 free samples when you spend over $35. I couldnt have gotten a much better deal so I am very very pleased.

BTW – How big of a stock of Harvey Prince Hello Cream samples do they have!? Seems like my last 3 free mystery pack add ons contained the Hello Body Cream and a Marcelle eyeliner in navy blue. Which I wont ever wear. SIGH. Oh well: twas free….

I got that same eyeliner! It’s the second one I’ve received. But I also got the Vasanti scrub again, and I love that stuff.

Mona Bella

I wish I had received the Vasanti Scrub! LOVE That stuff!

Liz Cadman

Yay – glad you like the Juara cream as much as I do! 🙂

I am currently awaiting points to rack up again and then purchase a full size. Love it but $38? Sigh. Thats like half a cable bill hahaha. 🙂

Curious as to the sheet mask from When. I will be trying that this weekend. I LOVE Sheet masks and have yet to find “the perfect one”. I will do 1-2 a week. I do adore them more than mud/paste masks that I have to put on myself – which are very messy. Im one of those people who puts a sheet mask on the airplane so I can have a soothing(ish) flight – I dont mind the stares – plus people then dont talk to me as much. Haha.

The Juara candlenut body crème is one of the best skin products I have ever tried, and I bought the full size from Birchbox. It’s heavenly and soooo decadent.

Totally agree!! I love that stuff, love the scent and it lasts all day.

I think I might have to order this one too! Looks like a really good one!
I’m completely with you Liz on preferring unscented facial skincare products, but at least the scent fades fast.

Liz – did you get the BB Korea box?

Reply ButtonReply

Liz Cadman

I did! I ordered them together. I’ll try to get the review of that one up later today – still have to try a few of the products! 🙂

Reply ButtonReply

Randi

No problem, just checking bc I know you usually jump on the BB special edition/kits 🙂
I got mine the other day, but haven’t tried anything yet. I’m always so much more excited to run home and try things after I read your reviews 🙂

Sara

I loved this box and sooo happy I ordered it, I paid $18 for it after coupon and points. It’s still an awesome deal considering two items are full size. Even my mystery pack was one of the better ones, had a travel size shampoo and a headband. Usually I get foil sample packets.

Mine should get here today and I can’t wait – I haven’t been this excited about a box in a long time! I’ve wanted to try the dr. brandt forever, and I switch back and forth between Murad, Tatcha, and derma e for the facial mist – so first two out of the gate are already perfect and then there’s more!
