Birchbox July 2014

Hey Sirens! I really enjoyed this month's Birchbox and can't wait to share it with you!

July Birchbox

This month's theme is Power Up!

A peak at this month's goodies!

Klorane Gentle Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk

Deluxe Size (1.06 oz)-$6.46 Value!

This is the best dry shampoo I've tried thus far! It is super easy to use and works well to clean my hair. This will be my new go to dry shampoo and I can't wait to try some of their other products!

Naobay Body Radiance Lotion

Deluxe Size (30 ml)-$2.88 Value!

 I enjoyed the Oxygenating Cream Moisturizer I received in my December Glossybox, so I was happy to get this in my box.  I liked the feel and scent of this lotion, and would like to continue to try other products from this brand.

Sumita Color Contrast Eyeliner (Raina)

Deluxe Size (0.024 oz)-$4.40 Value!

 I was happy to get this navy blue eyeliner in my box because I just love Sumita Beauty! I have a full size of this pencil in Aruna Black, so I am excited to get the chance to try it in another color.

Vasanti Cosmetics Detox Nutrient-Rich Purifying Facial Cleanser

Deluxe Size (20 ml)-$3.20 Value!

This is the first time I've received a cleanser from Birchbox, so it was a nice change. I haven't tried any products from this brand before, but I thought it worked well and I like the look of the packaging. I would be interested in trying out some of their other products in the future.

Beauty Extra: 100% Pure Gingerade Shower Gel

Sample Size (2 x 0.067 fl oz)-$0.15 Value!

Birchbox has sent me some skincare samples from this brand before, but I've never received anything bigger than foil packets. It would be nice to get a bigger sample size to really get test out some of their items. But from the two uses I got from these, I can say that I like the scent of this shower gel.

Special Bonus: One-Year Subscription to Women's Health Magazine

Full Size (10 issues)-$9.99 Value!

I think it's cool that Birchbox added this in as an extra bonus. It's awesome that you not only get one trial issue, but a whole year for free! Plus they don't sign you up for auto renewal, so you don't have to worry about cancelling if you don't want to continue your subscription!

Total Cost: $10.00

Total Value: $27.08!

Glossybox December 2013

Today I am so excited to share with you my December Glossybox! I haven't had a chance to try all the products in the box, but I wanted to get this post out before the end of December.  Enjoy!!

 

 

December Glossybox

 

I've always heard that these boxes were of a much higher quality than Birchbox. Still, I was quite surprised and impressed with the quality of the box when I received it in the mail! The pale pink box is very sturdy-I'm not surprised many people reuse the boxes for storage or gift wrapping. 

 

 

First look into the box!

 

I was anticipating getting the famous Glossybox magazine, only to just find a booklet with the product information. I'm not sure if Glossybox is discontinuing the printed issue of the magazine, but you can still access the magazine online via their website.

 

 

First peak at all the goodies!!!

 

 

NAILS INC. (Victoria Polish)

Full Size (0.33 fl oz)-$9.50 Value!

 

 For a polish addict such as myself, you may be surprised to hear I've never tried this brand!! I've known of it for quite some time, and I've been meaning to check it out though I've never gotten around to it. So I am super excited to get a full size in my box! I will do a separate post on this with swatches for you guys later!!

 

ANATOMICALS (You Need A Blooming Shower!)

Deluxe Size (5 fl oz)-$2.75 Value!

At first I thought this might be a full size product due to it's large size, but it turns out it's half of a full size. But this is such a generous sample size and I already know I love this body cleanser from only one use! It smells divine-the rose scent is so luxurious and you can't beat the price for the amount of product you get!! I am definitely interested in trying other products from this line!!

 

NAOBAY (Oxygenating Cream Moisturizing)

Deluxe Size (1.01 fl oz) -$26.73 Value!

While I already have my own skincare routine, I now like getting sample skincare products for use at the gym or my boyfriend's house! Plus, this is another generous sample size-it's more than half the full size!

 

DR. HUNTER'S ORIGINAL REMEDIES (Rosewater and Glycerine Hand Creme)

Deluxe Size (0.5 oz)-$5.56 Value!
*While some people may have based sample price off of the full size 2.5 oz tube ($14.00), I based it off the set of 3-0.3 oz tubes ($10.00) listed in the Glossybox booklet*

Another rose scented product! I am loving this hand crème so far-the scent is so pretty and it's a great size to keep in my clutch! The only thing I dislike about this product is the packaging-the lettering isn't centered on the tube.

 

 

MICHAEL TODD TRUE ORGANICS (Pumpkin Nutrient-Rich Facial Mask)

Deluxe Size (1 fl oz)-$10.00 Value!

I was so excited when I saw I would be receiving this product in my first Glossybox! I had received their Jojoba Charcoal Gentle Exfoliating Facial Scrub in a former Ipsy bag and really liked it. I'm so happy that I now get the chance to try the mask!!

 

Cost: $18.33

Value: $54.54!
