April Birchbox Review

This is my second month being a Birchbox member and I couldn't be happier about signing up! It is a monthly subscription of sample size beauty products sent to your door for only $10 a month. Pretty freakin awesome if you ask me!

 I love the little box that the products come in. I've already reused both boxes I've received. I use one to keep the cards that Oliver gets at the doctor that have his weight and all that. I used the other one as a gift box for one of the things I got my mom for Mothers Day and I just covered the label with a 'Happy Mothers Day' print out. I love being able to reuse containers!


Information Card
Lets get down to the goodies!

Caudalie- Divine Oil ($1.80): When I first saw this I thought it was perfume but when I realized that it was an oil for skin, hair, and nails, I was super stoked. This smells really nice and it feels GREAT. I have dry spots (and eczema) and this soaks in to those spots and makes them feel so moisturized. I don't think I will be buying this because the full size bottle is $49.00. I'm down with using my bio oil that costs like $12.

Nexxus- Youth Renewal Rejuvenating Elixer ($3.00): I haven't used this yet but I definitely plan on it. I love all Nexxus products I've used in the past. My hair could definitely use some renewal!

 Ruby Wing- Color Changing Nail Polish in Poppy ($4.67): I love getting nail polish! This is the perfect sample size. I wasn't thrilled about the color at first but I like it much better now that I have it on. It changes colors when you go outside and the color change is pretty drastic. I love it. I want to buy all of the colors! It looks pretty matte if you don't use a top coat but I think it's cool either way!

Whish- Shave Cream Shaving Cream ($2.93): I don't usually use shaving cream because I use an Intuition razor that already has the moisturizing soap around it. BUT I tried this out and it is pretty awesome. It felt like using conditioner to shave (which I have done before). It also smells really nice. I just might have to buy this to get my legs extra soft for bathing suit season!

Simple Revitalizing Eye Roll- on ($10.99): I LOVE this stuff! I was using a similar product but I just so happened to be running out. This came at the perfect time. I will definitely be purchasing this once I run out. If I had to choose a favorite item from this months box, this is the winner!

Total Value of my April Birchbox: $23.39. I'd say that's a pretty good deal for only paying $10 a month. In addition to that, if you review the products on their website you get $5 to spend in their store. If you're interested in getting a monthly subscription for yourself or as a gift (Mothers Day is coming up!) go here.
