February Birchbox

If I were guessing I would say that I started my Birchbox subscription back in August September of this year.  I just loved the idea of trying out products that I might not otherwise even give another glance.  I loved it so much that I have talked my sister and I think her love has been shared with her sister-n-law.  If you are not familiar with Birchbox click on over there!

On to my February Box!

To be honest I was so hoping that I would have gotten a beauty blender in my box like my sister did, but no such luck.

So I will start with the only thing I have tried so far....

100% biodegradable wet wipe
It says that they are for eyes and lips, alcohol-free, dissolve resistant make-up, nourishes & conditions skin
I say.... NOT for ME!  I liked them at first, but my skin felt like there was a film that made my face feel tight.

I guess there is one other thing that I have tried...  The Lifestyle Extra
The very cute heart shaped nail file!  I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!!

Now on to the things that I am saving for the perfect time!
1st: colorescience pro| glow and go Travel Puff
It is a powder-filled puff in an even color.  After reading this a little closer I am thinking that maybe I should try this at home first!  I would hate to try it out and about and turn into an orange or something...
2nd: EYE ROCK| DESIGNER LINER 
4 different styles of single-use stick-on liner strips.  I have not tried any of the stick on products that Birchbox has sent.  I did watch Leighannsay's YouTube video about stick on lipstick and these eyeliners.  
3rd: BENTA BERRY| G-1 Moisturizing Face Cream
This is from a French skincare line and is a moisturizer that regulates oil levels and keeps skin matte.  Since my skin is so extremely dry this winter I plan to try it once the weather warms up!
4th: DIGITAL DOWNLOAD| 6 free tunes from Green River ordinance
To be honest I had not realized that it was in the box.  I am interested to hear these guys from Texas! 

So my final review is that I have been getting jealous of my sister’s boxes… And I thought I might replace my Birchbox subscription with MyGlam Bag, but I am thinking that I will give it a little longer… Maybe I will get a Beauty Blender….

You've Got Mail.... NOT...

Still no shipping confirmation from MyGlam bag... And now I have even noticed that people have gotten their bags and had time to do a review...
Oh well... Go visit GlamTrotter on YouTube and watch her video review of MyGlam bag... Maybe someday soon I will get to do my review...

The Battle of the Boxes

I am so excited!!!
A few months ago I started my subscription to Birchbox!  For those of you who do not know Birchbox is a monthly subscription service for samples of beauty related products.  I look forward to my Birchbox every month.  Then I became addicted to Eleventh Gorgeous on YouTube.  I noticed they did reviews on Birchbox but also this thing called MyGlam... I have not gotten MyGlam bag yet, but one should be to me soon!
Then through another YouTuber I found Influenster!  It is not a paid subscription and I am so pumped to get to do my first review of them soon!  I cannot wait to receive the #LoveVoxBox!
My reviews to come!  Here are some links to the things mentioned above:
