Birchbox

My March Birchbox

March 16, 2013
O

ut of all the birchboxes that I have received so far, I would definitely say that this one was my favorite mainly because all of the samples were massive. I can’t help it! Huge samples are awesome! However, the fact that there were samples for your hair, skin, and nails made it stand out as well. It was quite a nice variety!

Here’s what was inside:
Madewell for Birchbox Emery Board:
Madewell has always been one of the stores that I constantly walk into. With the combination of their prices and my college student budget, I’ve never bought anything from them. So even though it was just a nail file, I was over the moon to see that it was from Madewell. One side of the board is a cute floral pattern and the other is pastel pink. It’s so pretty that I actually haven’t even used it too often! In terms of how well it worked, however, I definitely would not spend $5 on a full size one being that it only did an average job. I think that better emery boards could be found for a better price although they may not be nearly as pretty.

Caldrea Body Lotion Because this body lotion comes in three scents, I was given three samples! I received coconut fig leaf, tea olive lime, and aloe water apricot. All three smelled wonderful, but my favorite was the tea olive lime sample because it was a really fresh and subtle scent. The lotion absorbed quickly into my skin and didn’t feel sticky after which was great!
Whish Shave Crave Shaving Cream
I haven’t used this yet but i can tell you that it smells AMAZING. like it might be the best smelling thing I’ve received so far. This sample is their exclusive blueberry scent.
Serge Normant Meta Revive Dry Shampoo
I really love dry shampoos! Whenever I curl my hair, I love the next day curls that come after,but I don’t like when my hair looks greasy so dry shampoos are the best solution. I’ve only used this one time so far, but it helped to lift my hair as well as keep it from getting greasy. It also smelled great which was a huge plus.

Incoco Nail Polish Applique
One of my favorite things about Birchbox is that it has allowed me to try all sorts of things that I normally wouldn’t buy. I have wanted to try nail polish strips for so long because the concept is really cool and I like the idea of having chip free nails for up to 14 days. I haven’t gotten a chance to use them yet only because I think that this design will look so pretty in the warmer springtime weather.

The product that i am most inclined to buy: Meta Revive Dry Shampoo
The product that i am least inclined to buy: Caldrea Body Lotion
