In December I decided to sign up for Birchbox. Part of my new years resolution was to work on finding myself again and (like most girls) I love makeup and beauty products. I never thought one little box with pink paper would make me so happy!
Birchbox is a monthly beauty sample mailing. It is $10/month and every month you receive 4 to 5 high end samples to try. What I like about Birchbox is you take a beauty quiz and the samples are picked out for you. If you don't like the samples you are getting you can change your quiz and try again. Easy peasy!! Also if your friends sign up for Birchbox and use your link you get beauty points for products. :)
If you are interested in trying Birchbox follow this link. I never thought $10 would make me run to my mailbox!
My cute little box. Love the color of the gray paper. Who else is loving gray right now??
The contents of my box. Ignore the black card in the back. That actually came with MyGlam and I mixed them up.
"This months samples are designed to highlight your awesomeness"
Yes, I was one of the lucky ones that received the single-use stick-on liner strips.
Im not sure about these. I plan on trying them in a few days after I get my eye brows done.
I let a gal in my office use one of them. They actually looked cute on her. A pain to put on but they were actually really cute. She kept saying how funny they felt.
Here is a video from BirchBox on how to apply the stick on eyeliner.
"The French all seem to have one thing in common: perfect skin. Maybe it’s in their genes, but we suspect their savvy skincare regimes deserve equal credit. Behold this unisex moisturizer, a favorite of hip Parisian girls and guys, which hasn’t been available stateside until now. It’s made with an all-natural blend of botanicals to leave skin soft and matte."
I just tried this cream on my face. I have very dry and sometimes sensitive skin. It feels like a light cream when you put it on but dries VERY quickly. My face feels moisturized and very soft. It also smells great. The full size is 30mls for $22. THAT IS CHEAP!!!! If you use it twice per day you could maybe stretch it for the month. Honestly to cover my face did not take much cream. :)

The perfume smells spicy. I have horrible allergies right now so the only thing I can say is I CAN SMELL IT!! :) Mr. Chic liked the smell but thought it was alittle spicy for a woman. My bloodhound also sneezed at it.
HOW IT WORKS
"Supersmile’s powder rinse contains Calprox®, a whitening weapon unlike any other. A mild form of calcium peroxide, Calprox® safely gets rid of stains without damaging your enamel. Meanwhile, sodium bicarbonate eliminates germs and plaque. Since the formula doesn’t contain sugar or alcohol, there’s none of the stinging sensation associated with certain blue mouthwashes that shall go unnamed."
HOW TO USE
"Tear open the packet, and fill it with water. Swirl to dissolve the powder, and swish around for half a minute or so to enjoy minty fresh breath."
When I was opening my box Hubby grabbed these. He wants to try them. Mr. Chic said he would give an honest review. :)
I am the most excited to try this product! I DO NOT like wearing foundation but usually force myself to for the sake of evening out my skin. I love love love love moisturizing tint! I can not wait to try this tomorrow. The color they sent me is called pearl.
The website says the full size is 1.7oz. For $38 that seems a little pricey for me. It does come in 5 colors.
