Birchbox - January 2015


Oh yeah! Birchbox is here! This month I decided not to take part in the sample choice options since they weren't intriguing to my taste. There's nothing wrong with a bit of surprise. Here's a peek: 


This month is all about making the most of every minute of everyday. There's also a Birchbox challenge for everyday throughout this month to win amazing prizes!

This is what's included in my box this month:


Lovely!

I received (from left to right) When Travelmate Sheet Mask, theBalm Stainiac in beauty queen, Sumita Color Contrast Eyeliner in jaipur gold, NAOBAY Body Radiance Lotion, and Number 4 Hair Care Non-Aerosol Hairspray. 

First up, I love receiving sheet masks in subscription boxes! They make me feel as if I'm treating myself to a spa day. I can't wait for my twenty minutes in heaven.

Next up is my favorite lip stain of all time. I haven't had this in my inventory for over a year since the first time I was introduced to it by Birchbox. It's an amazing lip stain in my opinion because it has a gel like texture that applies sort of like a gloss and leaves a sheer tint of color. I never use stains for my cheeks because I always thought that idea was a bit unsanitary.

The Sumita eyeliner would have been much more attractive if I received a basic color such as black. Currently I'm all for liquid eyeliners at the moment so this might not be much use for me but it will come in handy for special occasions when I want to switch things up.

Body lotion is typically not my favorite item to receive in boxes but this one was A-OK when it came to the smell (reminds me of lemongrass). It's lovely and moisturizes well for a natural and organic body lotion.

Last but not least is the Number 4 hairspray. This is also an item I've received before in my past subscription and although it's an ok item it's just not the greatest. It still has a light mist with a natural scent and the biggest factor is that it's non-aerosol. I'll be saving this for good use when the weather requires it.

Overall this box was just fine for me since I've had worst in the past. I can't wait to see what I'll receive in my box next month. Maybe I'll even participate in the sample choice options if they turn out to be worthy of not passing up. Can't wait!

Here's everything that was included in my box to shop for as full size items in the Birchbox shop.
