Birchbox April 2014

 Birchbox

Price: $10.00 (includes shipping)

Ships out: Every month

Extras: Point system that based on the reviews of the products you review and the referrals that can be used in the Birchbox Shop. I have found that some items are exclusively sold in the Birchbox Shop so the points can add up to a nice discount.



 First Look!

 This month's theme is "Rainy Days"


 Each box included these pull out cards with suggestions of things to do on rainy spring days.


 FULL SIZE! Kind Maple Pumpkin Seeds with Sea Salt bar. This bar was so good. I really liked the sea salt pieces that were throughout.  They were large pieces so when you bit into the bar with a sea salt kernel you really got a kick in the head with salt. I keep trying to find these in stores and I can't seem to find them anywhere.


 1 oz. Shea Terra Rose Hips Black Soap deep pore Facial Cleanser


0.25 fl. oz.  Color Club nail lacquer in 'Gold Struck' I was initially disappointed in this because I thought that it was the exact color that I have received from Birchbox in the past. But once I compared the two colors next to each other, I noticed that this color is a more shimmery rose gold color and the color I received in a previous box was a more bronze color.  I actually liked this rose gold color better. 


0.7 oz.  The Balm "How 'bout Them Apples" cheek and lip cream
 The only color sent out was the color 'Pie' I really love receiving The Balm products in sample boxes. I don't even mind how small the samples are because they are always so cutely packaged - plus the products have all been really good. 


2 fl. oz. Fekkai Salon Technician color care shampoo


Everything I received in this month's box!

Fab Fit Fun Summer 2013

My Summer FabFitFun box came in the mail today.  I was hoping that FabFitFun would release one of the products that would be in this quarters box before it came out, so I checked the website periodically.  They didn't release any of the products, so everything was a surprise this time. 

This month they started a referral program. I have my referral number listed above to save $10.00 off your first box. I'm not sure if it's a one time use code or it can only be used once.
Looks like this offer is expired. If you want to try the code and see what happens, but can't read the numbers it's 388021. Good luck!


FULL SIZE  It Haircare 'Surf Spray' I can't find this product anywhere on the website. Maybe it's a new product, hopefully FabFitFun didn't send a discontinued product...

FULL SIZE Catalina Su lipgloss This is reportedly a brand from Giuliana Rancic's own makeup artist's line. I wasn't that impressed with the lip gloss. The color first off didn't have a name, secondly I didn't like the color. It applied splotchy and didn't last. 

FULL SIZE Orly nail polish in 'Harmonious Mess Really subtle, pale purple color. I'm not sure how it will look on my nails, but it looks like a great color for some nail art. 



FULL SIZE Ivory & Mason Sunglasses You can exchange these sunglasses for a different style for a $10.00 fee. I still haven't decided if I will be switching these out or keeping them. UPDATE: I ended up keeping these sunglasses, mostly because I was too lazy to mail them back. These ended up being really nice sunglasses. The shape is unique when worn, but I like it. I like things that are different.


...and here we go again with the rotated pics....

 FULL SIZE Evian Facial Spray  I have heard of this product before and have always thought that it was an extravagant, unnecessary product that people with too much money were spending they cash on. Now that I have one, I still believe that - based on the fact that I still haven't used or even tried this product yet. I will update if I try it and it proves me wrong...

FULL SIZE Infinity Sun 'Glow on the Go' Sunless tanning spray


 10 pack Yes to Cucumbers Facial Towelettes Perfect size for traveling!

FULL SIZE Purlisse 'Gentle Soy Milk Cleanser and Makeup Remover. I was excited to try this out because it cleanses the face AND removes makeup. I currently use Philosophy 'Purity' to cleanse and remove my makeup so I was interested to see if this is comparable. I used this with my Clairsonic 'Mia 2' while taking a shower at night. This product didn't foam up very much, even with using the Mia 2. I was having a dirty face day and wanted to make sure that my face was really clean, so I ended up using another cleanser to make sure that everything was off. I will keep trying out this product to see how I like it and if it really does remove my makeup. It was really gentle on my face, which I did like. 

Kind 'Dark Chocolate Chili Almond' bar.  This was okay. When I ate this I got a chili mecca in one of my bites, so it sort of choked me up a bit, but for the most part it wasn't too spicy.  You could definitely taste the chili pepper, but it wasn't too spicy. I probably won't be repurchasing this. So far each FabFitFun box has one snack bar in each box (so far there has only been two boxes) This is an improvement upon the first snack bar in the last box, but that's not saying much about the taste of this product. It's mostly an improvement in that I could actually finish the whole bar. 

FabFitFun is becoming my favorite subscription box and I'm so happy that I signed up. It is still pricey at $49.99, but I so far the value of all of the boxes have been really good. The products are also really nice, so I will continuing this subscription.
