I got my Birchbox last week and I got box #58 this time.
Here’s what I received this month (*calculated value of the samples in parenthesis):
Havvn Night Cream ($4) I am very intrigued with this, because it’s a 100% natural (free of parabens, petrochemicals, sulfates, or dyes) night cream with anti-aging properties. Sounds good to me!
Illume Go be lovely lavish hand creme ($1.93) I am a little picky when it comes to hand cremes, because I don’t like to walk around with “sticky hands” for too long. So quick-absorbing hand cremes (with a pleasant scent) are high on my priority list. This one is an infusion of cassis, pink sea salt, and wild geranium accented by avocado which smells really nice. I have yet to see how I feel about the absorption qualities.
Michael Todd Pumpkin Nutrient Rich Facial Mask ($10) This is by far my favorite sample from this box. I’ve heard good things about Michael Todd, but had yet to buy one of his products to see for myself. I am very excited to be able to try this sample, before I spend the big bucks on some of his other products!
POP Beauty Aqua Lacquer ($14) This is a full-size (!) product and a great value to have in your monthly box. And you can’t have too much lip gloss, am I right? Infused with vitamin E and jojoba oil, this will keep lips soft and smooth. I like. (Wearing it today!)
Benefit Big Easy (estimated $0.32): This is a BE (?) cream that promises to even out skin tones and balance oil levels throughout the day to keep a shine-free, matte finish. The sample is tiny, so it was hard to even guess how much product this was. From the reviews I’ve already read, it’s going to be hard to judge this one, just because it’s not enough to really get an idea of the product. We’ll see.
Birchbox Find: Ghiradelli Intense Dark Cherry Tango ($0.45) Mmh. Chocolate. What else there is to say?
The total for this box came out to $30.70 and with a full-size product, that is a good value for the $10 spent.
I am pretty excited about all the products in this box and will definitely try them all. How did you like your Birchbox products this month?

March 25, 2014 at 12:13 pmWhat a great box! I am totally jealous about your face mask… I hope it’s as lovely as it sounds! I agree with you on the notion of lotion. So not a fan of the funky hand effect. I really liked the lotion I got this month but I have to let you in on a scrumptious surprise. You have to try out Villainess Decadence Whipped. ( https://www.villainess.net/decadence-whipped.html ) Totally lux. My friend sent me this for Christmas and it’s einfach wunderbar! (I hope that was in the proper order…I had to google “simply” lol) Thanks again for posting about your Birchbox! I am so glad you inspired me to join!! (ps: I put your name in as the referring member….did you get your points?)
