BirchBox Welcome 2011

I wanted to share a post about my first BirchBox box I received. Back in October 2011 began my obsession with these monthly subscription boxes/kits whatever you want to classify them- THIS was the first, the one that started my obsession with watching the mailman with a hawk eye every day.

BirchBox is a monthly subscription service that sends 4-6 deluxe samples to your home for just $10 (shipping included) and sometimes there’s even a full sized product! If you decide to try them out please use my referral link: http://www.birchbox.com?raf=i7x7z #mce_temp_url#

SO here’s a preview of what you could get if you sign up for the ever popular BirchBox… and my review of the product!

Welcome to BirchBox:

Befine -lip serum- This lip product is allergen and fragrance free and is paraben free. I got the chamomile & beet serum and is colorless and flavorless. I use this at night, keeps my dry lips hydrated through the night (between the AC and heater that runs continuously) all in all I like this product.

blinc -mascara- I was excited to try this product out. It’s a tubing mascara which is a new thing for me. I have naturally fully dark lashes and usually use a waterproof mascara from Dior. So here’s what I think about blinc. Pros: It is super light-weight. I mean I feel like nothing is on my lashes. It looks really natural on, and washes off very easily. Cons: I tend to touch my lashes a lot (didn’t realize it until I wore this product…) and I ended up playing with the tubes. To me it seemed to pull away from the lashes… could be because wear contacts and used eye-drops when i was also wearing the mascara. I now wear this product only when I’m wearing my glasses!

Pangea Organics -Japanese Matcha Tea Facial Mask- The package says it’s for all skin types and does everything (deep cleanse, detox, exfoliate, tone, hydrate, stimulate collagen, prevent wrinkles, nourish, protect and balance), from what I can tell after using this mask my skin felt really great, smooth and hydrated!

Orofluido -Beauty Elixir- This is a product is for your hair. Let me first say that I opened the bottle and LOVED the scent, very light hint of vanilla and I was happy happy happy! Then I tried the product… LOVE IT!! It made my hair shiny and silky and it didn’t feel sticky or gunky or oily or heavy like other hair oil products have. This is something that I’ll actually be purchasing once I run out!

Tea Forte -minteas- Got a cute tin of mints in the lime mojito flavor (nonalcoholic of course) and everyone in my family likes them. With a hint of citrus and a hint of mint, they’re all natural, sugar free and made with organic tea. I would definitely buy these cute leaf shaped mints (they come in cocoa mate, ginger pear, lemongrass yuzu, matcha chai, and lime mojito).

So I was extremely excited with my first “Welcome” BirchBox and am looking forward to what will be heading my way next!!
