March Birch Box

I told you I would be back! Last week, I received my Birch Box for March. A few weeks prior, they sent out an email giving you a choice between the Teen Vogue Box or the standard box. I did not reply in time but I was extremely lucky to receive the Teen Vogue box. I know I am not a teen, far from it actually, but I am so excited about the products inside the box. With anything you receive, there is always hit and misses but this box is a huge improvement from last months. As always, I love the actual boxes the products come in. They are so cute and I can’t wait until a get a few more so I can actually do something creative with them. Any ideas?

The first product was the Fresh Sugar Rose Tinted lip treatment. I have a full size of these in a different color already and I do love this product. I have never been crazy about the smell/taste but it feels wonderful on the lips. The packaging is so cute and it is the perfect size to throw in my bag. I did try to swatch it for you but it doesn’t show up on my skin. I have a picture below but you really cannot see anything but did I mention how wonderful it feels?

The next item is the Kerastase Elixir Ultime. It is hair oil used to hydrate, smooth and sleekify your strands. I haven’t tried this yet but the cost of the full size product is crazy. It is $54! I don’t think I could ever spend that much on hair oil. It just seems so wrong. I do like the smell of this product. It is a very light smell and it felt great on the back of my hand. LOL. (The picture below is awful, sorry)

I receive another perfume sample. What is with all the perfume samples? The sample I received this time was Petite Cherie by Annick Goutal. It is obviously a French perfume. It is classified as a sexy, floral mélange of peach, vanilla, fresh grass, and musky rose. It is not bad. Definitely not my kind of scent. I can pick up on the rose right away and the fresh grass but I cannot smell the vanilla or peach. I would never by the full size but it is an ok sample. I will probably end up giving it away.

I am so excited about this next item! It is a full size Essie Luxeffects nail polish. An Essie nail polish is $8 and the box is only $10! It is so worth it. I swatched it below but it doesn’t really do the color justice. The color I received is A Cut Above and it is a pink glitter polish. The glitter is in all different sizes.  I love it and I cannot wait to wear it!

The last two items are nothing to write home about and I won’t spend any time talking about them. I received a red Twistband hair tie. It is supposed to be snag free. I also received a discount code for ModCloth. Honestly, I look at the site briefly and it is not cheap. Even with the discount, I am still going to spend quite a bit. I am also not completely comfortable buying clothes online either. I will let you know what I decide. LOL. Apparently today is not the day to make any decisions if you saw my last blog post.

That’s it for my March Birch Box and I must say they stepped it up a little. I would like to have more makeup products but it was not as bad as last months. Improvements are appreciated.

I hope you all have a great night or day and I will be back soon!
