Birchbox May 2014

Birchbox May 2014

So this month is my Birth month and I so wish they would have done something special. I mean I have been subscribed for almost 3 years. Even a simple card that says happy Birthday would be nice.

Anyway here are the items in my Birchbox

Cynthia Rowley eye liner in black 0.03oz sample (approx. $12)
Full size 0.04 oz $16

The eye liner is a very black liner and it stays put once it is set! 

All day liner!

CoTZ Face spf 40 2.0g (approx. $4.12)
Full size 1.5oz (42.5g) $20

This is pretty amazing actually. It is skin toned and has absolutely no smell. Really no smell. How did they do that, especially with spf40?

Noya Lip Gloss 1.5ml ($8) wow for this little sample!!  
Full size 3ml $16

Such a beautiful shade. It is very smooth, like

 putting something like a thin frosting or butter on the lips. Love the way it feels, barely any color to it, but just enough fr a beautiful natural lip. 

Nexxus Color Assure  sample ($none/ free sample)
Pre-Wash primer 3.3oz  $17.99
Vibrancy Retention Shampoo 13.5oz $11.99
Vibrancy Retention Conditioner 13.5oz $13.99

I haven't used this yet, but it is definitely a free samples worth. 

Smarty Pants sample (free sample)
Full size 180 tummies $29.99

This is the extra in the box. 

What can I say about Smarty Pants Gummy votes?? They are YUM!

Total Value this month is Approx. $24

April Birchbox

Nexxus Youth Renewing Rejuvenating Elixir. 

To apply add a few drops to dampened hair. This is suppose to strengthen hair from the inside out. It helps with breakage from styling and aging hair. 

Full size $20.99

 SKIN & CO Sicilian Body Gel. It has a light refreshing citrus/orange scent. I originally thought it was a body cream. Thankfully I read the packaging. 

Full size 250ml = $17.50

Sample size 40ml = $3.50 approx

 Strivectin-SD Eye Concentrate for wrinkles. Strivectin is a brand I do love. The texture of this is just right. It is not to thick nd not to thin. It stays right where you want it and absorbs well. I have been using it nightly and have high hopes. Can't wait for my 2 weeks are up.

Full size is 1 oz $65

deluxe sample .25 fl oz. approx $16.25

 This is this months EXTRA, 3 samples of WELEDA body lotions. They are in Replenishing, Pampering and Regenerating. They have a nice texture, but I am not a complete fan of their scents. I think they are a bit too herbal like for my taste. 

 This is a 1 year free subscription to Women's Health Magazine value of $9.99. You also have the option of getting a refund for $9.99 if you like. 

YOUNGBLOOD Anti-Shine mattifier is a deluxe sample. The texture is similar to a balm with a grainy texture. It seem strange to apply a balm to my face. Directions say to apply to the T-zone area to mattify the area. Apply before foundation. 

Full size is .25 oz = $36

Sample .05 oz approx $7.20. 

The cost of the Women's Health magazine pretty much covers the cost of this months Birchbox. Everything else is like and extra.

Thank you until next time....

Next month we all get a chance to get the Selma Hayek Birchbox at no cost as long as we opt in for it. I certainly did and hopefully I get the box. It is no guarantee, but I am keeping my fingers crossed.
