This is late but here we go!
And I haven’t tried any of this yet so… W00! ;D
2014 birchbox
August 2014 Birchbox
Sorry the image is a little crappy. I snapped it real quick with my phone. This month’s box contains:
- Noir Long-Wear Eyeliner
- Ojon rare blendâ„¢ oil Moisture Therapy
- Benefit Posiebalm
- Harvey Prince Ageless Body Cream
- hello. Breath Spray Trio
First things first; the lipbalm. I’ve gotten lip products from Benefit before and I always enjoyed them. They give me just enough color to be fancier than plain chapstick and moisturize enough that I don’t have to layer chapstick under or over it. I may buy this but I also buy regular chapstick in bulk and have a ton of it. We’ll have to see when it runs out.
The breath spray is nice to have. I tossed it right in my bag and it was good to pull out as needed when having gum or candy wasn’t appropriate.
The rest I haven’t tried yet… I’ll get to them eventually. 😉
March 2014 Birchbox
Right on the heels (pun not intended) of me making lip balm that ended up as cracked heel cream (and friends tell me it’s AWESOME for cuticles) Birchbox sends me foot cream. I laughed. The coincidence was too adorable.
There’s a lot I want to try in this box. Since I’m in my 30’s now, I am concerned about the state of my skin. I don’t look older than I actually am and I’d like to keep it that way. The idea of an all purpose skin moisturizer is a relief. Anyone who works with me or lives with me knows I am a stickler for moisturizing. I think that and staying hydrated are key to maintaining good skin. The all purpose and citrus will be the first to be tested.
The only other thing I’ve tried so far out of all the things in this box is the chocolate. Sadly, I am not a fan of it. I am really lame. I like my fruit with my fruit and my chocolate with my chocolate. Some people do, it’s just not my thing.
I haven’t been wearing makeup regularly lately so the other three products will just have to wait until I do. 😉
Even though I wasn’t pleased with the chocolate, I love when Birchbox sends food in these things. I think that should be a regular thing.
January 2014 Birchbox
Ahh, the first box of 2014. And man am I ever glad for the tea. It’s been so damn cold here, I need tea to keep my insides warm. The lotion packets I threw right in my desk for when I need emergency hand hydration.
Hmm… That’s a good name for a band. Feel free to steal it.
Right off the bat I was excited about the color change nail polish. It’s one of those products that I’m pissed at myself for not owning sooner. The detangling spray wasn’t strong enough for my hair but my daughter has finer hair than I do so I passed it on to her. The smell is much better than the generic store brand spray I’ve been buying for her and her hair seems to like it better.
The hot cleanser is an interesting idea. Usually all my skin needs is a very warm washcloth to clean it (save for the times during the month my hormones go nuts and my face explodes). I’m always nervous trying new face things, lest I get a rash…
Stay tuned for an update on the nail polish since I’m super excited to use that. 🙂
