May Birchbox Review

I love the weekends that I get to spend quality time with my wonderful fiance'. I took a couple days off from blogging this last weekend, since I actually had the weekend off with no promotional events. It has been a rare occurance that I have been able to spend quality time with my loved ones, as well as get some stuff done around the house. However, I thought I would start the new week off with a little post showing you what I got in my May Birchbox this month. 

Birchbox Cost $10 per month and is a great monthly box that features beauty finds, and sometimes some extra special lifestyle/home samples. What makes Birchbox a bit different than other boxes is that you never know what box you are going to get in each box. It usually takes me a little longer to get my box versus some others, so I get the chance to see online what other people get in their boxes before mine comes. This month I thought I got one of the better boxes that being said though,  I really have not really seen many box online that I would not have enjoyed getting above another. 

MAY BIRCHBOX

MARVIS CLASSIC MINT TOOTHPASTE

I was so excited to find this in my May Birchbox, as I have heard the best things about Marvis. This toothpaste is an Italian import toothpaste that is said to have invigorating peppermint flavor. I have received a couple toothpastes in boxes this month, but I am most excited to try this Marvis brand out. Who knew that I would be so excited about toothpaste, haha!

KLORANE GENTLE DRY SHAMPOO 
with Oat Milk

I have been on the look out for a great dry shampoo, as there are just those days when you do not have the time to wash your hair or you just want to sleep in. I have heard so many great things about the Klorane brand, and I can see why now. It is by fair the best dry shampoo I have used lately, and it smells great! 

COOLA CLASSIC FACE SPF Cucumber Moisturizer 

I tend not to use SPF, however, as I get older I am leaning more towards being safer with my skin. This is a mineral sunblock that is infused with anti-aging ingredients. I will applaud at any face moisturizer that will help with anti-aging  Great new product to add to my Birchbox, and perfect for summer months coming up.

SUMITA COLOR CONTRAST EYELINER

I love getting eye liner any box. This was the perfect color for me, black, and I will get great use out of this eye liner. What I like best about this eye liner is that it glides on very nicely on the eye, and looks great on!

BIRCHBOX FIND- PILOT ACROBALL PEN

I had seen that some Birchboxes had this pen included and some did not include this pen. I was pleased to see this in my Birchbox this month though, and I love trying out new pens. I can really use this for work, which make me happy. What I like about this pen, is that it is like a gel pen without the smudge. I have swayed away from the Gel pens because I rather not wear the ink on my hand. I am excited to give this Acroball pen a try! This pen will go to some great use at work!

Overall I always love my Birchbox each month, and cannot wait to try out the products that I have never heard of or have not tried before.

March Madness with Birchbox

I finally got my March Birchbox. I must say it always  takes  awhile from the time I get the shipping notice to the time I get my box.   I actually can usually check online before I get it, and then I  ruin the surprise by finding out what I got ahead of time.However, I can be a tad impatient at times.

Here is my March Birchbox:

Benefit Cosmetics Stay Don’t Stray

I  am already a owner of this amazing primer. It not only works as a primer, but it works really well as a concealer. If I am rummaging around my makeup bag in the morning and cannot seem to grab hold of my actual concealer I use on a daily basis, I will just use Stay Don't Stray. I not only use it under my eyes, on my eye lids, but I also use it to hid  blemishes. It is on my top ten list of must haves in my daily makeup regiment. I highly recommend this to anyone.

Caldrea Body Lotion

All three of these smell great: Tea Olive Lime; Aloe Water Apricot; and Coconut Fig. I do not think I have ever gotten any body lotion from Birchbox.  But I was very pleasantly surprised by this addition to the box this month.

Evologie Intensive Blemish Serum

I received a sample of this in another box last month.  It will have to say it works though. With the smell of tea tree oil, I am glad I received another sample of this, as a little of goes a long way. So, I am set with Evologie Intensive Blemish Serum for a little while.

Whish Shave Crave Shaving Cream

Birchbox must know me (I think they got lucky this time though) because I never buy shaving cream or gel. I usually will just use conditioner when I shave. However, Whish smells great, and it is great to have a little shaving cream around. I still will vouch that conditioner works just as well though, and is multi purposeful.

And last as a couple special Beauty Extras...

Madewell for Birchbox Emery Board

I think the Emery Board is a great extra something special to add to the box. I usually just buy plain emery boards; however, it is nice to have a nice spring emery board to use now.

Another extra special was Birchbox added a Special Shop offer over at the Birchbox shop. When you spend $25 at Birchbox.com  or buy any Benefit Cosmetics at Birchbox you can get a free deluxe sample of BADgal Lash using Promo code bbheartsbenefit. I have used BADgal Lash and I highly recommend it. 

Overall I am happy with this Birchbox. Some months they get it, some months I am a little disappointed, but this month  I think I will give Birchbox a 10! The items in the box were not only awesome, but well over what I spent on the box ($10). If you would like more information about Birchbox you can check them out HERE or HERE.
