April 2012 BirchBox Review

Sorry I haven't added anything new in the last Birch Box Review. I have just been super busy lately. I'll definitely try to do better this month. So on to the review :)

This months BirchBox theme is "Natural Wonders." Instead of pink tissue paper as was in the last box this month it is two different shades of green. Very Cute :)

The products are as follows:

* J.R. Watkins- Hand and Cuticle Salve, 0.25 oz. "Slather on this creamy balm pre-manicure. It's full of natural moisturizer to keep your hands and cuticles super soft."  I love the smell of this salve! It has a hint of lavender and the it just smells clean. The label says it is 99.50% natural. Definitely can not wait to use this. I need a manicure! LOL. Full size will cost you $7.99, not a bad price in my opinion.

* Willa-Gentle Cleansing Lavender Facial Toweletes, 10 towelettes. "There's no need to cozy up to your sink- wipe away the day's debris with these aloe and lavender-infused wipes." I really don't smell the lavender on these wipes. when you take them out of the package they are very moist and soft. I used one and it took off all my makeup and made my skin feel clean. I did feel a slight tingle on my face afterward though. not sure if it is suppose to do that or not. Package says that these wipes are hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic and oil free, enriched with natural Aloe and Green Tea. Full Size will cost you $7 for a package of 30.

*Wonderstruck Taylor Swift- .04 fl oz. "The pop-country songstress' scent is as catchy as her lyrics. We think it's worthy if a standing gig on our vanity." I have wanted to try this for a while now. I am super exited it was in this months BirchBox. It is a normal sized perfume sample so it will allow me to try it out enough to make sure that I truely like it before I commit to buy the full size verson. The full size bottle is super cute and will run you $49.50-$59.50.

*Zoya-True Spring Collection 0.25 fl. oz. "Lighten up for spring with this fresh shade. The non-toxic formula goes on opaque and last 50% longer than traditional polishes." The shade I got my Zoya Nail Polish in is called "Bevin" It is a really pretty green color. Maybe like sea foam green or something similar. I am actually wearing this color now and really like it. Full size will cost you $8.

Lifestyle Extra
*dropps- Landry Detergent, 2 pacs. "Lighten your laundry day load with these single-use, eco-friendly detergent packs. We love their convience factor and adorable design." When I saw these I was like, " Ok, its a little wierd that in a beauty sample box you are getting laundry detergent samples" but then I was like, "Well I will give them a shot.'  I will say that the detergent in the pacs seems to be a more runny consistancy than other brands such as the Tide Pods. We shall see how good they are. They came in fresh scent. Full size will run you $6 for a pack of 20.

Overall I will say that I was pretty happy with this months BirchBox. I can't wait to see what will be in next months. The only thing that I would say is that I hope we start getting more makeup products insteasd of so many skin products.

March BirchBox :)

I finally got to sign up for BirchBox in March. I have been waiting for what seemed like forever. For those of you who do not know what BirchBox is, it is a monthly subscription that you pay $10 a month and recieve 4-5 deluxe samples.

I watched some videos on Youtube about other peoples March BirchBoxes and saw that they were different than mine. I guess where it was my first box that they sent a welcome box instead. Either way I am excited

In my BirchBox :

* Ahava- Essential Day Moisturizer for normal to dry skin. 0.51 fl oz .  It is a nice size tube that will give me an idea if I would like to purchase the full size product.  I think it smells a little flowery, which I am not sure if I would like because I would not want to smell it constantly after putting it on my face. Full size, $38.50

* Annick Goutal- Eau d'Hadrien perfume. 0.06 fl. oz. I personally do not like the smell for myself. It seems a little too strong. It has a citrusy scent, made with lemon, grapefruit and green mandarin. Full size, $85.00

* Color Club- Peace Out Purple Nail Polish. 0.25fl.oz  I think this color is so pretty. I LOVE purple. It is a neon looking color and I can't wait to try it out. BirchBox says that it is a 60's inspired polish. Full size, $8.00

*Jouer- Luminizing Moisture Tint. 0.07 fl. oz  I have tried this and I really like the feel of it. It is not greasy, it has a nice smell that is not over powering. Love the sparkle effect, not too much just the right amount. I really like this product. Full size, $38.00

*Orofluido- Beauty Elixir  0.17 fl.oz  I was surprised to find out it was a hair product. It smells so good. It has a vanilla scent to it. Definitely excited to try this product out. Full size, $29.99

Lifestyle Extra
* Tea Forte- Skin Smart Teas. I recieved 3 tea bags. "A mega-antioxidant tea that taste amazing and helps skin look more radiant." The flavors are; Cherry Marzipan, Cucumber Mint, and Honey Yuzu. I have not tried out these samples just yet. I normally dont drink flavored teas but I see alot of people saying they like them so maybe I will give them a try. You can get 16 tea beags for $6.00

I was really happy with my BirchBox. There was only one product that I probably wont use. Overall I can't wait til next month to see what goodies will be in there. :)
