BIRCHBOX!!

This is actually one of the most exciting moments of each month for me.  I love BIRCHBOX.  It works exactly like a magazine subscription... only it's a bit more expensive, I suppose.  For only $10 a month, you get a little box delivered right to your doorstep filled with 5ish beauty goodies.  I just recieved my 4th box... but let me back up for a second and fill you in on last months BIRCHBOX.

Us subscribers received...

-A good sized sample of Bare Essentials Flawless Definition Volumizing Mascara (Full size: $18)... just got around to using this today.  I enjoyed. 

- A good sized sample of Befine Exfoliating Brown Sugar Cleanser (Full size: $25)... This product is amazing, by the way.  I have extremely dry an sensitive skin and this has done wonders for me.  The little bits of brown sugar exfoliate your skin and then just dissolve into a delightful foam.  Quite nice.

- A good sized sample of NARS Orgasm Illuminator (Full size: $29)....This product is also amazing.  It gives you a really nice dewy-fresh look. 

-A small sample of Pomega5 Green Tea Mattifying Moisturizer (Full size (which is 1.7 oz. by the way... for those of you who are not good with measurements... this is small): $58).  This was a bit of a disappointment.  The product is absolutely amazing but the sample was about the circumference of a quarter and maybe a half an inch deep.  I wanted more! 

-And in the box we were given the delicious bonus of sweetriot Chocolate-Covered Cacao Nibs.  These little chocolates were sooo delicious and fit perfectly in my bag...while they lasted.

OKAY now to the month of March.  In this month's BIRCHBOX, I was given: 

-AHAVA Revival Bath Salts (Full size: $19).  I'll keep you posted on this one.  As I do not have a bath, I may have to offer my treat to others to try out. 

-Marvis Classic Mint Toothpaste (Full size: 10.50).  I am a sucker for Italy and this product is imported from Florence, Italy.  It has a really unusual sweet mint taste that stays around for a good part of the day.  

- A FULL size! Pangea Organics Lip Balm ($12) . I LOVE this Lip Balm.  It is seriously long-wear, smells and tastes good and really smooths out my lips.  I probably will not be able to live without this product going forward.  

- A FULL size! Sue Devitt Eye Intensifier Pencil ($22).  Love, love, love this!  As a make-up artist, I am always on the lookout for something to make the morning routine that much easier.  I know that it is supposed to be an "intensifier" but the pencil is super chubby and just a few swipes covers the eye.  Makes for a 15 second smokey eye application (as long as you are being precise and not sloppy)... which is so exciting!  

-And for our Bonus of the month, we were given a Brow Brush... this product is basically a must for any woman's makeup bag.  

Seriously... for any beauty lover... just sign up for this.  It is such a nice treat each month that is just for you and you alone.  I find a new inspiration every month in this little box.  It helps me to feel refreshed.  I love it. 

Oh... and if you happen to sign up for it... feel free to put my name down as a reference. :)
