Birchbox - April 2012

Hey Everyone!!!


So we just got back yesterday from our trip out to NJ for Honda Day and my Birchbox was waiting in the mail!!!  For those that are not familiar with Birchbox, it's a monthly beauty subscription (costs $10 a month) that sends you 4-5 deluxe (and sometimes full size) products.  Included in the box is a card with a message from the Birchbox team along with a list of products in your box and full size prices for the products (which can be ordered on their website).


This months theme is "Natural Wonders"



The first 2 items in the box are both by Kahina Giving Beauty.  It's a small packet of their Argan Oil and one of their Facial Lotion.  


The Argan Oil is 100% organic Moroccan oil which is meant to moisturize dry hair or skin.  It can also be mixed with the Facial Lotion in create a mega-hydrator.  And the Facial Lotion is inspired by Moroccan beauty rituals and uses organic shea butter to nourish the skin.
*Full Size:  Argan Oil - $36.00 & Facial Lotion - $62.00


The next little gem is something I have heard a little buzz about online and it is the Wonderstruck fragrance by Taylor Swift.  There isn't any information on the notes of this fragrance so I pulled the description from the Internet..."A charming and sparkling surprise of vibrant fruits, kissed by a bouquet of soft petals and a touch of sweet indulgence".  I am looking forward to giving this a try!
*Full Size:  $49.50 & $59.50


The next product smells just as amazing as the Taylor Swift fragrance and it is the Benta Berry G-1 Exfoliating Facial Cleanser.  It smells EXACTLY like something that has been in a Birchbox before (and I can't put my finger on which product it is) and it is heavenly.  It's a Parisian brand creamy exfoliator with ground apricot seeds.
*Full Size:  $16.00


I have always been interested in the Pur Minerals brand and now I am able to sample their 4-in-1 Mineral Tinted Moisturizer.  It claims that it is a moisturizer, primer, foundation, and SPF 20 that covers blemishes while infusing the skin with moisturizing botanicals.  My samples is in the shade medium but I have been tanning recently so I might have to use a bronzer on top if this to match my current skin tone.
*Full Size:  $34.00


And last, but not least, an item I have been debating on picking up from the drug store and it is the Yes to Blueberries Age Refresh Cleansing Facial Towelettes (8 travel towelettes).  Every time I go to my local Walgreen's and stroll past the cosmetic section, I always end up looking at the Yes To products and debating on grabbing a package of these towelettes. The product is 99% Natural and paraben-free.  It's a cleansing and moisturizing towelette infused with apple, blueberry, and lemon peel extracts meant for removing makeup while hydrating the skin.
*Full Size:  30 pack - $7.99  


Thank you all for reading and I hope you are all having a good morning, afternoon, or evening whereever you are!  Also, if you are subscribed to Birchbox and received anything different in your box this month, leave a comment below and share what came in yours!  Take care everyone and talk to you soon =)
