Birchbox - March 2015


Yay! Birchbox has arrived and I'm ready to reveal my products to you all this month. Sadly I passed on the sample choice options once again this month. I really hope they turn out better in the future, lately they've been quite lame in my opinion. However how can you not fall in love with the designs for this month's boxes? I really do appreciate that Birchbox has been working hard by getting creative with the prints for the boxes besides the plain cardboard ones from my previous subscription. Anyways, onto the box itself! Here's a peek:


This month is all about creativity! I feel most creative when I'm doing shopping and coordinating outfits together which is never easy in my case. 

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


I had a bit of difficulty with my box this month due to the handling during shipping. One of my products burst open which sort of ruined the box but I did my best to clean everything up so I can post for you all. Of course the Birchbox customer service team was also super helpful as always and they're willing to send me another box that will match my profile but may be slightly different than the one I received so I'll make sure to post again later this month!

I received (from left to right) Fekkai PrX Reparatives Intense Fortifying Masque, Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo Invisible Spray, Jelly Pong Pong Glow Getter Highlighter, Paula's Choice 
Resist Moisture Renewal Oil Booster, and Mirenesse Mattfinity Lip Rouge in Sydney.

First up the Fekkai hair masque. Sadly this was the product that sort of opened during shipping so I don't have much of it left to use. However it had a really nice texture that was smooth so I'm sure it would have worked great for my hair.

Next up is the Oscar Blandi dry shampoo. Lately I've felt like I received tons of dry shampoo samples. I honestly would prefer to wash my hair with actual shampoo and use these almost like hair sprays. I like that this one is invisible so no gross white residue is left behind!

The Jelly Pong Pong highlighter was certainly not my style. I do like highlighters but I did not enjoy the sticky gel texture and super shimmery glitter that this product gave. It sort of reminds me as starter makeup for little kids playing dress up.

I've heard of Paula's Choice before and I believe I was first introduced to the brand through Birchbox a really long time ago. I love that her products are typically great for acne prone skin and lately I've been having a horrible break out. I can't wait to give this a try.

Last but not least is the Mirenesse lip stain. This lip stain has a TON of color. It made my lips super pink. Part of me loved it and the other part thought it was a bit much. I think I'll use it and follow by a bit of blotting as recommended for a subtler look.

Overall this was not my favorite box but it had it's pros and cons. Hopefully my replacement box will be much better otherwise I can't wait for next month in hopes of an improvement!

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