If you subscribe to Birchbox like I do, then you know there's nothing better than when you receive yours in the mail! It's almost like getting a Christmas present every month, and definitely the perfect way to treat yo self. This month, Birchbox's theme was "Ladies First" to celebrate International Women's Day and Women's History Month. And how cute was this month's box design?!
From just the looks of it, I'm pretty happy with my box this month -- this just might be one of my favorite boxes I've ever gotten.. but then again, I've found myself saying that a lot about my Birchboxes lately. Here's a lowdown on every product I received:
smashbox photo finish primer oil // the sample size is good enough, and although I'm a little hesitant to use this every day as I already have oily skin, I was still excited to try it because I love Smashbox products. After applying some to my forehead, it really felt nice on my skin and underneath my makeup.
theBalm cosmetics stainiac lip stain // this was probably the sample I was least excited about, just because I don't often wear a red lip and I'm not crazy about lip stains. however, the color is rich and it applies easily -- I'll use this on occasion, and it's perfect to slip into your purse for a night of going out.
wilma schumann collagen eye pads // I was really thrilled to try these out at first, because lately I've been all about protecting my skin and doing everything I can to keep it healthy. While these eye pads did feel really nice beneath my eyes, I don't like the idea of putting a product on that delicate skin that contains parabens! That part kind of rules out the good ingredients in this product.
number 4 l'eau de mare hydrating conditioner and shampoo // I have to admit, I'm not the biggest fan of shampoo -- and I especially try to stay away from drugstore shampoos that contain sulfates. luckily, neither of these Number 4 shampoo and conditioner samples contain that pesky ingredient! I'm excited to try these out and see if I like the texture that they give my hair.
living proof perfect hair day fresh cut // I'm a huge fan of Living Proof products, and I already own one of their hair serums -- so I'm really pumped to try out this split end mender! Having long hair at the moment, I get lots of split ends, so hopefully this will help out a bit with those.
Overall, I'd rate this month's Birchbox an 8 out of 10! If anyone reading this wants to try out Birchbox for themselves, click on my special members link to join Birchbox and you'll get a free eyeshadow stick with the code "EYEKOGIFT".
