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.

Thursday Thoughts

Linking up with  Jennifer again! Go check her out :)

• I am super excited about finally getting all of my subsription boxes this month. I signed up for   Citrus Lane and Ipsy at the beginning of march but I missed the deadline for march boxes. This month I will be getting Ipsy, Birchbox, Citrus Lane, and Bluum... in that order, I think. It's been so hard not to subscribe to more but I have to limit myself.
• So, Mothers Day is coming up and I have no idea what to get my mom. I want to do something really nice for her but I'm on a budget. Plus, we share a bank account so it is going to be hard to hide it from her. Any ideas?
• I've been thinking a lot about the vacations I'm going on this year. I am going to San Diego and LA in may to visit friends and family AND go to the Ellen show! Then my mom and I are planning a trip to Vegas for her 50th birthday. I think Vegas will be cool since I haven't been since I turned 21 (I went all the time as a kid.. weird, I know). But recently I've been thinking about how nice it would be to go to Hawaii instead.. or maybe Cancun? We've been to Hawaii a million times so we know how to do it cheap and we know what we like to do there. The plus about Cancun is the all inclusive packages. I'm going to have to do some research. They all look so great that it's hard to decide!

• Tomorrow Oliver is going to spend the night with his grandparents so I will have a night of no work and no baby. I almost don't even know what that feels like anymore. I'll be hanging out with my good friend Lauren for the first time in forever. It will be nice to have some girl time and do whatever we want!
