April 2014 Birchbox


I just got my second Birchbox! I'm excited to share with you all that I got! I received 4 samples plus a healthy snack. Here is what I received:

Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel, Full Size $22

I do not use any kind of brow pencils, gel, etc. In fact, my brows are extremely dark and bushy. It is everything I can do to keep them under control. The last thing I need is to add pencil to my eyebrows. Therefore, I will not be using this gel.


Supergoop! Daily Correct CC Cream, Full Sixe $32

This cream acts as both a primer and a foundation. It also has sunscreen included. I am excited to try this! The one thing that was disappointing about this product was how tiny the sample size was. I doubt I will get more than one use out of it.

Color Club Gala's Gems Collection, Set of Four $13 (This is a Birchbox Exclusive)

I received a full size bottle of one of these nail polishes. I was really excited about the size of the polish I received! I got the greenish looking polish. It's name is "Breakfast At…" Super cute play on Breakfast at Tiffany's. I really like the way this polish looks. It has a cool metallic look to it as well. 

Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 8% AHA Gel Exfoliant, Full Size $24

I was really excited to receive this product! This is a leave on exfoliant with no exfoliating beads. It is more of a gel substance. The glycol acid in this product really keeps skin clear. You just put this on under moisturizer and go. I have been using a very similar product that is much more expensive, but it just ran out. This sample is a good size, and seems to work just as well! I will definitely be using all of the sample, and then ordering a full size bottle! 

KIND Healthy Grain Bars, $11.88 for a box of 15

This was an extra in my box for this month. The flavor I received was Maple Pumpkin Seeds with Sea Salt. This is not something that I am a fan of, so I passed on this. I would like to try the Dark Chocolate Chunk or the Peanut Butter flavors though. 


The Verdict
This month's Birchbox was a little bit of a disappointment for me and my lifestyle. However, I definitely still think it was worth the $10 I spent on the box. I definitely recommend signing up for this subscription box. If you would like to sign up, go here. I cannot wait to see what I get next month!
