The other day I got my first ever BirchBox. I
was super excited for it. Once I opened it thought I was a little sad. I found
out thought that when you get you’re your first box it is a welcome box and you
will not get all the same products as everyone else. Now that I know that I am
happy and cannot wait to get next month’s box. Now as for what BirchBox is, it
is a monthly subscription box that you receive 5 to 6 deluxe beauty samples in
it. It cost 10 dollars a month, free shipping and no surprise fees. I think it
is a great way to try out some new products and share it with my readers and
also find some new things I might love in the process. They have a great reward
system and member store as well. http://www.birchbox.com?raf=mnwps/ This is a link to the site so you can read
some more and sign up if you would like. I am going to tell you what I got and
if I have tried it or not and let you know what I think.
The first thing I got was a Jouer moisturizing lip gloss in Birchbox
Pink. I love the name, and the color is great. It is such a bright shiny pink. I
gives your lips a nice pink color with great shine. The more you put on the
brighter the color gets. I personally like lighter color with lots of shine because
I like to play up my eyes. This lip gloss goes on nice and smooth and is not
overly sticky. You can feel it on but it is not enough to bug me. I have not
worn it a full day because I always change my lip gloss during the day but it
did last me the first half of the day. The card that comes with the Birchbox
says that a full size it $20. Overall I like it and I might think about getting
a full size tube. I would like to see what other colors this company might
offer. I will have to head to the site and check it out.
The next thing we got was Eye Rock, designer liner. They are single use
stick on eye liner. You get four designs in the pack and they are all cat eye
type ones. I was super excited to try these because my cats eye drawing skills
kind of stink. I did try out a pair, but was not the happiest with them. I used
the thickest ones and realized that my eyes are not wide enough for it. I took
the second one and cut it in half and tried it again. This time it looked
better. I am still not fully sure what I think of them though. I am going to do
my eyes up and then try the thinner one to see how they look together. I think
because I used the thickest one first it has made me question them. They feel
ok on and did not bug my eyes; I just want to wear them out so I can see if
people notice them and what they say about them. The full size is two packs of
four for $13. I have to try these some more to really decide how I feel about
them.
The next thing was a little spray bottle of Juicy Couture’s Viva La
Juicy perfume. Full size is from $69 to $89. It is a mix of wild berries,
mandarin, honeysuckle, gardenia, jasmine, amber, caramel, vanilla, sandalwood,
and praline. I have to say I really really like it. I saw this in other peoples
box last month and was bummed I would not get to try it. So I was so excited
when it was in mine this month. I love perfumes, lotions, anything really that
smells good. This has a nice summery playful scent. The smells all mix together
so well and none of them are over powering. I put one spray on my wrist the
morning I got the box and I could smell it at bedtime. I am always willing to
spend money on perfumes that have staying power. I hate the ones that you use
in the morning and are gone by the time you get to work. I also did not think it was too over powering.
It just left a nice wisp of scent when I would move my arms. I am so happy with
this perfume. I am hoping that BirchBox keeps sending perfume and lotion
samples because I love trying new ones.
The next thing we got I have not tried because I am saving it for a
night out and about. It is by Colorescience Pro, it is a glow and go travel
puff. From what I understand it is a
puff filled with the make-up already. It says that it is more than a onetime
use puff. It comes in four colors and by what I have seen everyone got
different ones. I got the All Even one. It says it is medium tone and is used
for everyday to camouflage cover. This I think is so cool and cannot wait to
use it. Once I get to try it I will fill everyone in on how I liked it.
The box also includes things they call lifestyle extras. In this box I
got digital downloads from a new band called Green River Ordinance. I honestly
have not gone to the site to check them out. I am an R&B girl, so I am not
sure if it will be up my alley. When I get some time I am sure I will check
them out. The other thing they gave me was Showstoppers designer fashion tape. I
love this stuff. It holds you clothes in place so well. Even when you are
sweaty on the dance floor it stays put. You can never have enough fashion tape.
