Birchbox: March/April 2015

I've been taking my time trying out the Birchbox samples... 

It's been a lot of fun playing with all of the different brands and products, so I guess I'm just trying to prolong playtime as long as possible before my gift subscription runs out.

Birchbox February 2015

Even though it's practically March, I suppose it's better late than never to share my February Birchbox...

I haven't had the time to try out most of the samples, but I am particularly interested in trying the sea salt spray for Friday night. I did like the theBalm lipgloss--I never would have gone out of my way to choose a pink lip color, it's cute.

Yay for the first Birchbox of 2015!

Update on my December 2014 Birchbox

I definitely plan on buying Catherine Malandrino's Paris de Style eau de parfum. I also loved the Sumita contrast eyeliner in jaipur gold, it was a nice switch from my typical black eyeliner. 

My First Birchbox

One of my awesome Christmas gifts was a Birchbox from my brother Dylan.

I've heard about it for a while, but never checked it out--I'm more in tune with what's happening with clothes and tech than I am with beauty, specifically.

If you haven't heard of Birchbox, it's basically a service that ships you a box of beauty samples each month. If you like the samples, you can visit the Birchbox website and buy the full-size products online.

Just guess what my favorite thing in this box is, I dare you...

One of the things that I am slightly concerned about with beauty and health products are the ingredients, but it's comforting to know that Birchbox does have Ingredient-Conscious Picks. 

Looks like I'm getting prettier for 2015!
