Birch Box ~ September

  • Posted on September 23, 2012 at 11:19 PM

This month’s Birch Box is my second one.  Here is what I got.

boscia soothing cleansing cream.

Benefit Cosmetics The POREfessional. This will be my first time using Benefit so I’m kind of excited. I also have JUMBO pores. 🙁

Color Club Birchbox Custom Polish. It’s hard to see it, but it’s blah. It is this dark steel-grey blue creme color.  It’s not ugly but  it’s not edgy enough to be pretty.  I’m thinking this will be a toes only polish.

Kate Spade New York “Twirl” perfume. I really like it. It’s fresh and clean smelling, not overly flowery.

“twishband” pink (ick) Hair Tie. I have too much hair to even consider trying it. It would surely break!

The “tili” Bags is an extra. I don’t care what it’s called or that it has designs, IT’S. A. BAGGIE. ’nuff said.

So there you go, Birch Box for September.  Not too wowed, but not going to jump right in and try everything right away. If the meh factor continues I will cancel, but for now I’ll keep getting them. OH I almost forgot… The list card gave an address for musician Tristan Prettyman downloads. Free music! I am an MP3 junky! If I don’t like it, at least I didn’t pay for it.

Birchbox ~ August 2012

  • Posted on August 22, 2012 at 1:24 AM

So I’m starting to get addicted to this subscription box craze. While I vacation I got my first BirchBox. Prior to signing up I’d read pros and cons of this subscription.  I decided to give it a go anyway and like my other scripts there is a 3 strike rule. This month’s box is meh, but not strike worthy.

 

There seem to be monthly themes to these boxes. This month is “Beauty School”. I got a little booklet telling me about all of my products, how to use them and what a full-sized product would cost.

From L to R ~ Juicy Couture’s Viva la Juicy La Fleur. Retail $70

A tiny lip gloss from Jouer. TOTALLY not my color. I don’t do pinks. This will go in a prize bag for sure. Retail $20

A Schick Hydro Silk razor with coupons. I love this razor, I currently use it. Retail not listed, but as a couponer I rarely pay more that $2 for razors. 🙂

Apothederm Stretch Mark Cream. I can’t wait to see if this works. Retail value is $89.95!

Last goodie is a sample of SHU UEMURA Art of Hair Illuminating Shampoo & Treatment. Shampoo retails for $48 and the treatment goes for $58

So far I’m excited to actually try all the products with the exception of the gloss. I also feel I got my $10 worth. Would you like a box of your own? Visit www.Birchbox.com
