August Birchbox

This month's box was pretty exciting because it came a little bigger than normal!

per-fekt Beauty Lash Perfection Gel--
This is a gel based mascara of sorts. It is black, but it is also meant to nourish your lashes. And I felt that it coated a lot more than my Mary Kay mascara does

Juicy Couture Viva la Juicy La Fleur Perfume --
 To be honest, it is okay. But I have received Juicy Couture perfume from my birchbox before and I gave it away. I just don't think this brand and I were meant to be.

DDF Brightening Cleanser --
Meant to be used before your regualar face wash, this cleanser is suppose to brighten your face as well as help even out your skin tone. I have only used it a couple of times and like it so far.


CALDREA Lavender Hand Soap --
Smells so good!

SCHICK Hydro Silk Razor --
So smooth and has a moisturizing serum around the blades to help ensure to nicks... which I normally do every time I shave!

July Birchbox

Good Morning everyone! Today the sun is shining after 4 days of straight rain. I personally love the rain, since I am origionally from Oregon, but I can't run in the rain or want to take my kids into it. Therefore, today I am super excited!

My Birchbox this month was a real treat! I received 6 items!!!!!!! They paired up with Glamour magazine this month to do a 5 senses box. Here is what I got:

Ada Cosmetics--Bronzer
Dermatologist approved mineral powder (not pictured due to children running away with it)

Gloss Moderne--High Gloss Masque
Vitamin Rich complex for your hair

Harvey Prince--Hello
Last time I got a Harvey Prince in my box I was not too keen on it, but this one is to die for and I think it will be my scent for the rest of the summer

stila--Lip Glaze
This medium pink glaze is so pretty with glitter and a great wand to apply with

Larabar--uber in Banana Foster
Health bar that keeps you full

Birchbox Exclusive--Earbuds
Are they not so super cute in lime and pink?

May Birchbox

This month was a Gossip Girl themed, picked by Gossip Girl's lead make up woman.

I liked this box just a little bit of a lot. There was a cute stationary card in the back, a Stila liquid eye liner pen, I am excited to try it. An amazing face cream, Kiehl's Abyssine Cream made from stuff in the ocean, a Caudalie hand and cuticle cream that seems a bit heavy at first, but as it dries gets lighter. Bvlgari Omnia Crystalline Eau de Toilette Spray-smells good! Kerastase Cristalliste Lumiere Liquide makes dry ends shiney.

It was a fun box and I loved that I got nail polish the last two months, but I don't paint my nails that much so it was nice to have something different.

April Birchbox

This month's Birchbox is kind of cool!

The first item that you do not see was these laundry detergent packs called Dropps. They worked really great in my laundry and dissolved quickly. 

2. Taylor Swift's perfume Wonderstruck. To be honest, not totally in love with it, but I have not actually worn it yet. 

3. Amika Nourishing Hair Mask, trying this tonight... and am a bit excited!

4. Juice Beauty Oil Free Moisturizer is great! I got their blemish fighting serum a couple of months ago so I was really excited to see another one of their products.

5. Zoya Lotus color nail polish! It is a deep purple with a glitter in it and I love it! It is currently doing a double feature... toes and fingers! Can't remember the last time a color was that special?!

My First Birchbox

So has anyone heard of Birchbox? They sell, highlight and review products in the beauty field ranging perfume, hair tools, makeup and so on. They offer a monthly subscription to their samples box. It is only $10 a month, or if you do a year long membership you get one month free. And you can even give it as a gift... I hear my best friend's next gift knocking at the door...

And if you refer someone after you already receive a box you get extra "points". You earn points for each purchase and box which can eventually get you free product!

So without further waiting...

Cute packaging!

Each box has a thank you and information card from the founders/team of Birchbox. And on the backside of it it gives a small description of each product and how much it is for a full size.

This is what I saw when I pulled back the tissue! (Silver tissue, once again cute packaging!)

A card with a website to download 6 free songs from Green River Ordinance. (Which it did not work, but I will keep trying. Listened to them on Youtube and there is a relationship forming!)

Yes, Spicy chocolate. Eaten as soon as I took the picture.

These are amazing from the package! I will be trying them out and taking pictures as I do. And then posting them in a couple of days.

And here is Viva La Juicy perfume, so good! A great French moisturizer which is so soft. And a blemish fighting creme.

Here is everything, minus the chocolate. I think I will be renewing each and every month. Remember, when/if you want to sign up, make sure you refer people so you can earn extra points!

What do you think? Any questions on the products???? I would love to answer some!
