Birchbox - February 2015


My favorite time of the month is when my Birchbox arrives! This month I've decided once again to pass up on the opportunity of sample choice. Lately they haven't been too eye catching so I'm hoping that I'd still be surprised with some goodies curated towards my profile. Not too many sneak peeks was revealed this month (what's up with that?) so lets hope for the best. Here's a peek:


This month is all about friendship! It's dedicated to the people who cheer us on, calm us down, and make us laugh so hard we cry. 

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


Something surely catches my eye!

I received (from left to right) Toni & Guy Classic Shine Gloss Serum, Juice Beauty Blemish Clearing Cleanser, BeeKind Body Lotion, Harvey Prince Ageless Perfume, and Benefit Cosmetics Roller Lash Mascara. 

First in line, I don't typically use gloss serums for my hair because I don't like the sticky texture of applying them, however, this formula is silky and light and sort of reminds me of a product I loved in the past!

Next up is the Juice Beauty cleanser. I've actually had the opportunity to sample this cleanser before (sadly in foil packets). It's a bit more watered down for my taste but it's a great everyday cleanser that's non-irritating to my skin which is always a good thing.

Does anyone remember this body lotion from a previous Birchbox post in April of last year? Yes! This is the "lemon pledge" scent lotion that I was sort of obsessed with. I love that it's made out of honey and organic chamomile. It comes off as a bit greasy/oily at first but eventually it smooths evenly once massaged. 

It was interesting to try a Harvey Prince perfume sample. I still believe my overall favorite from the brand will always be "Hello". This scent is lovely for spring with hints of sandalwood so I think I'll put it aside until the weather warms up again.

Now for the product that definitely made me squeal with excitement. I cannot believe that Benefit Cosmetics revealed a new mascara this month. As most of you may know, the "They're Real" mascara is still my overall favorite to this day but the Roller Lash is definitely making an impression on me. The brush in comparison to "They're Real" is quite similar with exceptions of a curved effect for curling. I may just have to pre-order the full size as it releases on the 27th of this month. I'm always in need of new mascaras!

Overall this was an ok box but nothing worth wild. This box also came with a bonus goodie for Birchbox subscribers! $30 off an order of $75+ from Rent The Runway (one time use). It's valid only on rental orders now through April 17th. I don't think I'll be having any special occasions coming up (besides my birthday) where I'll need a fancy rental so I'll probably be passing this on to a friend. I can't wait to see what next month has to offer!

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