Birchbox March 2013

It's Birchbox time!

Birchbox is a monthly subscription box where you receive samples for different beauty products for $10.00 a month.  There is a wait list for this box, so don''t expect to sign up and start receiving your boxes right away.

This month's theme was March Madness. Birchbox is comparing different types of beauty products throughout the month of March on their Facebook page and their website here.

What I received this month:

 Nick Chavez Beverly Hills Color-Saver Sulfate-Free Shampoo net wt. 2 fl oz

and

Color-Saver Paraben-Free Conditioner net wt. .33 fl oz

I'm pretty excited to try out this sample. I have color treated hair so we'll see how this works out. Not too pumped about the different sizes they gave out of these products that are obviously supposed to be used in conjunction with one another. I have really long hair and use a lot of conditioner so I'll  probably use the conditioner sample in one wash.

This is the third time I have received a Nick Chavez hair product in a sample box. Second one in a Birchbox, but first of this type.

 Nail file - Madewell for Birchbox This file is CRAP! It didn't even last my through filing all ten of my fingers! I ending up throwing this away and using a cheap Revlon file that actually got the job done. The only saving grace for this nail file was the plastic sleeve that it came in. I can use this for better files to keep the nail residue from getting everywhere. (Does anyone else hate this?)

 I watched the sneak peak for this months Birchbox on their You Tube channel, and I was hoping that I got to try this out.  This is a new brand and I like the charity aspect of it.  The little card reads: 

"for every purchase of Make, one-third of all sales goes to the Wee See Beauty Foundation to fund women-led, worker-owned cooperative businesses in America.  Beauty or a beautiful economy. Make the world you want to live in."

I received a face primer with SPF 30 net wt. 0.18 oz.

...and the cutest little matte grey eyeshadow in the color Cement net wt. 0.03 oz

These packets were filled with lotion from Caldrea.  I received them in the scents Aloe Water Apricot, Tea Olive Lime and Coconut Fig Leaf. 

The last thing I received was a coupon for the Birchbox shop for a free deluxe sample of Benefit's Bad Gal lash mascara with a $25.00 purchase. Use code bbheartsbenefit.

I really liked this months box and am excited to see what the coming months will look like!
