Birchbox March 2014

Hello Sirens! Tonight I'm sharing my March Birchbox!!

 

This month's theme is Spring Forward!

 

 

March Birchbox

 

COOLA Tinted Matte SPF 30 for Face

Sample Size (0.17 oz)-$3.60 Value!

 

I really liked the Coola sample I got in my first Ipsy bag, so I was excited to try this one. I really like this one because it feels super silky, gives great sun protection, and contains antioxidants! I think it'd be perfect for summer wear.
 

 

Beauty Protector Protect & Detangle

Deluxe Size (Unknown)-Unknown Value

 

I loved the oil I got in last month's box so much that I was happy to try another product from this brand. It took multiple trys before I got the pump to work, which I wonder was due to the product inside being more of a lotion consistency than a liquid. Nonetheless, I do like the spray-it smells great just like the hair oil. I just wish the measurement contents were listed on the bottle. When I asked Birchbox for the measurements of the last sample, they directed me to inquire it from Beauty Protector. But I'm not sure how to contact them as I can not even find a company website. If anyone has any contact information for this brand please let me know in a comment down below.

 

Gilchrist & Soames London Collection Body Lotion

Deluxe Size (2 oz)-$4.00 Value!

 

Getting a body lotion was a nice change, especially a luxurious one that's been in some of the world's most exclusive hotels! I'm also glad to see this product is cruelty-free, eco-friendly, and loaded with antioxidant-rich botanicals.
 

 

 

Harvey Prince Cherie Blossom Fragrance

Sample Size (0.05 fl oz)-$1.62 Value!

 

I love trying a new perfume especially one if I can't find it in the typical beauty department. This scent is perfect for spring with a top note of Somei sakura (cherry blossom). But while the sample packaging is so cute, the bottle design of the full size fragrance seems rather plain.

 

Lifestyle Extra: Tea Forte Mintteas (Retreat)

Deluxe Size (1 Tin)-$3.32 Value!

 

I love the concept of this product-not only do these mints freshen your breath, but each flavor accomplishes specific wellness goals. Retreat, the Lemongrass Yuzu blend I received, is designed to help you relax. I love multitasking products, so I am definitely interested in trying out the other kinds.

 

Birchbox Find: Ghirardelli Intense Dark Cherry Tango

Sample Size (0.375 oz)-$0.47 Value!

 

I love Ghiradelli chocolate and was excited to try a new flavor! I was a little disappointed it wasn't a full size like the one I received in my November Birchbox, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.  I just had to go out and buy another kind at my local Wegmans!

 

Total Paid: $10.00
Total Value: $13.01
(Not including Beauty Protector sample)

This was one of the best boxes I've received in a while! I will use everything in this month's box!!

Birchbox February 2014

Hey everyone, my Birchbox was first to arrive as usual this month!
 

 

This month's theme is Step And Repeat!

 

 

February Birchbox

 

Ruby Wing Color Changing Nail Polish (Kitten Heels)

Deluxe Size (0.25 fl oz)-$5.00 Value!

 

This was my favorite item in the box! I was super excited to get this because I've never tried Ruby Wing or a color changing nail polish before. The polish is formulated with SolarActive Technology, causing the color to transition when exposed to UV rays outdoors. The concept is so cool and kind of reminds me of mood rings!

 

 

Beauty Protector Protect & Oil

Sample Size (Unknown)-Unknown Value

I love that they used a glass bottle instead of plastic-it makes this sample so much more luxurious! And it smells wonderful-I can't wait to try it out! However, this sample didn't include any measurements on the bottle, so I inquired the information from Birchbox. I have yet to receive a response, so the size and value of this sample remains unknown for the time being. As soon as I find out I'll update the information.

 

Juicy Couture Couture La La Malibu

Sample Size (0.05 fl oz)-$1.44 Value!

 

I am a huge Juicy Couture fanatic, so I was psyched to receive this sample! I saw it advertised in one of my magazines and have since wanted to try it! I really like it and may even prefer it to the original Couture La La!!

 

 

Dr. Brandt Pores No More Pore Refiner

Deluxe Size (0.25 fl oz)-$11.25 Value!

I don't really have an issue with large pores, but I'm down with a product that can keep skin matte. I also like the packaging and feel it's a decent sample size. However I'm disappointed because according to the Cosmetics Cop this product contains skin cell–damaging lavender oil!

 

Lifestyle Extra: 32 Oral Care Effervescent Breath Crystals with IsoVoxy

Sample Size (2 Packets)-$1.33 Value!

I'm intrigued with this lifestyle extra since I've never used a product like this before. It's an interesting alternative to Chocolate or Tea and it's nice that they included two different flavors!
 

Total Paid: $10.00
Total Value: $19.02!
(Not including Beauty Protector Sample)

 Overall, I thought this was a pretty good box. I'll get use out of 4 of the 5 items and most of them are brands I've never tried before.
