Birchbox April 2013

Tiny tweaks, big results   Teamed up with Women's Health

NEXXUS | Youth Renewal Rejuvenating Elixir Full-size $20.99

"It's not just your skin that needs antiaging help. This new shine-boosting serum cures dry strands and reduces the odds of age-related breakage."

I have tried a few Nexxue hair products in the past and really liked it. This is a hair serum that adds shine and  solve dryness of the hair. I really like it and plus it smells really really nice, the only complain is it comes in a tiniest size.

Skin&Co Roma | Cleasing Body Gel with Olive & Sicilian Orange Extracts Full-size $17.5

"You won't be able to go back to regular soap after trying this freshly scented, antioxidant-packed shower gel from Rome."

Haven't try this yet, but it looks very nice. This is a body wash that contains lots of natural ingredence, it has that soap plus refreshing smell which I don't hate. It comes with 40ml, which is really nice decent size, great for carrying and traveling.

StriVectin | StriVectin-SD Eye Concentrate for Winkles Full-size $65

"A beauty editor favorites, SriVectin's cream uses a patented molecule peptide to diminish fine lines and reverse the look of puffy circles." 

Surprised that I got a sample size of the SreiVectin eye cream, it comes with 7ml which is nice and since this product is targeting for winkles and fine lines, I think I will give this to my mom to use.

Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics | Anti-shine Mattifier Full-size $36

"Matte is in. Dad this shine-zapping balm onto your T-zone before applying foundation."

I'm glad that this month they put one of the makeup related product in even though it's tiny. This came just right on time for the warmer season and I actually wanted to get a shine control product. I only tried once and it does helped control the shine on my face throughout the day.

Weleda | Body Lotion Full-size $16.5

"A creamy lotion that uses sustainably harvested plant oils and natural hydrators to restore skin's moisture levels. "

Haven't try it yet but I like that it's natural skin care products. It's nice they put in four different ones in it and I think these are also easy to carry when traveling.

Overall, I am quite happy of what I got for this month. I think the samples are great and covers from head to toe, plus I enjoy spread it out to my family and friends to use. Let me know what you get if you subscribe to Birchbox and what's your thoughts on the samples.

Birchbox | March 2013

Birchbox March 2013

The theme of this month is "March Madness".

Incoco Nail Polish Applique - Full size $9-11

"Eye-catching nail strips are the easiest way to get a flawless mani."

I never tried any nail strips before, so I guess this will be my first one. I like the pattern and the color I received and I think it will looks cute if it's easy to put on. Not sure how long it will lasts on my nails but it suppose to last for 14 days.

Serge Normant Meta Revive Dry Shampoo -  Full size $25

"The A-list stylist created this volume-boosting mist to give second-day locks a lift. Bonus: the subtle fragrance leaves hair sweetly scented."
I am actually wanted to get new dry shampoo but haven't had the time to shop, so this one came just on time. The description sounds very good to me but I haven't try it yet. The size is also good for carry on and travel.

twistband Handband - Full size $19
"Keep your hair perfectly in place with these colorful elastic headbands."
I rarely use handband so not excited about it. The color is metallic sliver, I don't have much to say about it really.

Whist Shave Crave Shaving Cream - Full size $20
"The organic shea butter in the foam-free shaving cream makes for an insanely close shave and leaves skin incredibly soft. We love the exclusive blueberry scent."
The packaging doesn't looks really attractive to me but turns out I really like this products. It has organic ingredients also paraben free, sulfate free, the scent is more like a candy scent, but most importantly it works very very smooth on the skin. 

Madewell for Birchbox Emery Board - Full size $5
"We teamed up with Madewell to create this adorable mani savior, patterned after a print from their new spring collection."
This is an extra in this month box, I like the consideration they put into it.

This is the first birchbox that I received and honestly I am not very excited. Even though all these products are very practical but it would be nice if they have one or two makeup or skin care related products. Still excited to try the dry shampoo and nail strips though, hope it turns out good.
