First of all I would like to apologize but these pictures are from the Birchbox site because I didn’t have time to take proper photos. 😦
Here’s what I got:
1. Modcloth headband- this headband is kind of neat but I don’t see myself ever wearing it.
2. stila stay all day 10-in-1 hd beauty balm- smallest sample ever, I’ve tried this at Ulta before and didn’t like it anyway.
3. theBalm® cosmetics Stainiac- decently sized but I’m not really one for red lip products.
4. Juliette Has a Gun Not a Perfume- smells pretty good but the price turns me away.
5. Melvita Floral Water- smells nice, maybe a little strong
Overall I’m not really thrilled about this months box. Your thoughts?
Time for another Birchbox! Here’s what I received:
Miracle Skin Transformer Body- not really a fan of this as it seems a little too dark for my skin. I do use the Miracle Skin Transformer that is meant for your face everyday and love it!
Miss Dior- this smells amazing!
Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil Shampoo- certainly excited to give this a try.
Dior Extase Mascara- Excited to give this a try too. I love the DiorShow New Look Mascara but the DiorShow Original Mascara not so much.
Overall I’m satisfied with the box this month. What was in your birchbox?
April Birchbox time!
1. Erno Laszio soap- not interested. 
2. Yogini- again? Repeat sample. 😦
3. Juice Beauty Moisturizer- okay 🙂
4. Zoya Bevin- love Zoya. 😀
5. Say Yes To Blueberries wipes- I will make use of these I’m sure.
Overall not too impressed with this box but since the last 2 have been pretty good I guess I can’t complain. Do tell, what came in your box?
Here is my March 2012 Birchbox!
Twistband hair tie- orange. I’ve gotten one of these before in black but at the time my hair was too short to use it so I’ll give this one a go.
Annick Goutal fragrance. Another perfume sample. Never fails.
Kérastase hair oil. I’m excited to give this a try.
Essie polish- A Cut Above. Yay!
Fresh Sugar Rose Lip Treatment. I’ve wanted to try this out but thought it was a little overpriced so I’m excited to see if it would be worth purchasing.
Do tell! What was in your box?
Here’s what I received and my thoughts on my February 2012 Birchbox.
I miss the pink tissue paper!
Beauty Blender- I’ve tried other products like this before but I’m excited to give this one a try!
chocolate and music downloads? Ok then.
Jouer Luminizing Moisture Tint- way too dark and shiny for me.
Mineralogie Concealer- this feels super nice and creamy!
Eye Rock eye liner tape- interesting to say the least!
What was in your Birchbox?
Here’s what I got in my birchbox!
1. Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy- while I’m tired of fragrance samples I like Juicy Couture scents so I’m okay with this.
2. Origins Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash: I have read some great reviews on this so I’m excited to use it with my clarisonic.
3. Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Peacock: so exciting! Full size and beautiful.
4. VMV Hypoallergenics Re-Everything Face-Hand-Body Lotion: a lotion that’s suitable for face, body, and hands? Doesn’t seem like a good idea. Eh.
5. Lärabar Mini Bar- food again? Even as an extra I’m not okay with this.
6. Magnet and some ideas for clarity: cute!
What was in your box??
I received my December Birchbox today and this is what was inside! Enjoy!
Benefit Porefessional- no need for me to test this, I already love it! Glad to have another sample tube.
Harvey Prince Yogini- the enclosed card said its a calming scent with notes of sandalwood. Not a fan.
Jouer lip gloss in Birchbox Pink- I really like the way this felt and it’s not too sticky. The color is pretty sheer, I wish it was more pigmented. And this is the smallest sample ever.
Olie Biologique oil- the card says it’s multitasking and can be used on body, face, and hair. I was too aggravated to test it because a fourth of it leaked all over my box. see below.
Showstopers fashion tape- I really have no use for this.
Eboost natural energy booster- really? No comment.
Overall I’m satisfied only because of the Benefit and lipgloss. I emailed Birchbox about the leakage so we will see how that goes.

November Birchbox time! Here’s what I received:
1. Atelier cologne in vanille insensee: I didn’t even smell this so I have no thoughts. I’m frustrated that I keep getting perfume samples.
2. Borghese fango active mud: I like trying masks so I will probably give this a try.
3. LaROCCA Skincare champagne & shimmer supreme cream: I’m usually not into body shimmer but maybe I will give this a try if wearing a skirt or something.
4. Zoya polish in izzy: This is obviously the highlight of this months box. I love nail polish and pink is right up my alley.
5. Two Paper Dolls ampersand coasters:Coasters, really?
6. BaubleBar black wood pop bracelet: Not my style, the wood beads are ok but the rhinestone ball looks super cheap and some of the stones are off colored and not completely in place.
Overall I’m not impressed. Not really much else to say. I keep saying I might cancel but something tells me not to.
Below you’ll see what was in my October Birchbox which arrived today. Overall I find it better than last month but I still find myself on the fence about whether or not to cancel.
The bronze tint in the Laura Geller primer scares me a little since I’m a little pale but I’ll probably try it anyway.
Let me know what you received in your box or leave me a link to a post about it.
I only got 4 items plus the friendship bracelet in my box. Some boxes seemed a lot better than others.
1. Pangea Organics facial cream- possibly the only item in the box that I’m looking forward to trying.
2. LIV GRN C2C fragrance- this smells like apples? Maybe it’s just me but I don’t care for it.
3. Incoco Nail Polish Appliqué- I got the glittery leopard print ones. I’ll give them a go I suppose but I’m not really into leopard print.
4. Jouer Lip Enhancer: possibly the smallest deluxe sample ever! Haha I did try this already and it seems a little sticky and heavy.
Overall I’m not impressed this month. This is my second birchbox and I will give it one more month before I decide to cancel or keep it.
