February Birchbox Review

 

February birchbox has arrived, been sampled and now it’s time for the review! Once again, if you aren’t familiar with Birchbox, it’s a box that comes once a month straight to your doorstep with new products to sample. For the price tag of $10 – it’s proven to be worth it for me so far!

Here’s a list of what was in this months box.

006

 Dermablend Professional  Quick Fix Concealer –  I normally use the Trish McEvoy concealer, but at a price tag of $42 and the fact that it’s always exploding out of the brush, I was excited to try this! The color was spot on for my skin-type, it went on smoothly and blended perfectly. Unfortunately I am a klutz and dropped in the toilet after a weeks use. Good news is, at $23 I will gladly buy a new one!

Juicy Couture – Couture La La Perfume: I kinda wish that Birchbox would stop sending me perfume samples. I’m sure it’s one of those items they get a plethora of so it will be included each month, but I’m just too picky about what I wear. Although, last months was a big hit!

010

 

Twistband – Thick Headband. I have a bajillion of the Bic Sparkly bands (which I love) and this color was just meh to me so I probably won’t ever wear it.

011

 

Vasanti – Brighten Up Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator – LOVED this. I use a Clarisonic and the beads were small enough to use with my brush. Your face will feel like you’ve just left the spa after using this product!

 

007

 

Votivo – Pink Mimosa Candle – All I can say, is that I want to eat this candle. It smells divine.

009

 

There was also a piece of ghiradelli chocolate filled with caramel in my box this month. That didn’t last longer than two seconds before it was in ma bellly.

If you’d like to sign up — feel free to use my link. At $10 a month it doesn’t break the bank and it’s a great way to find new products and figure out what you like and don’t like before you commit to the full price.
