February Birchbox

This month's Birchbox arrived just in time for Valentine's Day, so it was nice to have a fun "present" to open.  However, I do have to say I am a little disappointed in this month's box.....

My box this month included a tinted moisturizer from Jouer (I've grown to really like their products), a daily exfoliant from Dermologica (I LOVE Dermalogica, and I have used this exfoliant before, and it is really nice), some whitenening rinse, a Benta Berry moisturizing face cream, and....wait for it....

THESE Polka Dot Lip Tattoos:

Now, I have never used these before, but I have seen them and wondered about them in the Ulta Store.  However, the whole reason I never bought them was because I couldn't figure out WHERE IN THE WORLD I would EVER wear these!!  I mean, Halloween only comes 1 time a year, and I have THREE of these suckers. 

So, I ask you dear readers.....

Have any of you ever seen these or used these?  Do you have any suggestions?

If I do get brave enough, I'll be sure to post a pic.  In the mean time, did anyone else get something fun in their Birchbox this month??

January Birchbox

January's Birchbox had impeccable timing, arriving just in time for my birthday!

I learned about Birchbox, a monthly subscription service for premium beauty samples, from Kate over at The Small Things Blog.  It's always so much fun to open, and this month's box was no disappointment!

January's box had a theme of "clarity" and was filled with items to detox and rejuvenate.

Items in my box this month included:

Befine Night Cream

Viva La Juicy Perfume

Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eyeliner

VMV Hypoallergenics Re-Everything Eye Serum

Witchcraft Granola (From Top Chef Judge Tom Colicchio's NY-based chain!!)

Birchbox Magnet



What did you get in your box this month??

December Birchbox

I learned about Birchbox from Kate over at The Small Things Blog, and it truly is the BEST $10 I spend each month.  In fact, I've had such fun with my Birchbox, I bought my best friend Casey a three month subscription for Christmas.  I can't wait for her to get her first box! 

If you don't know about Birchbox, it's a monthly subscription service where you receive deluxe beauty samples.  These samples are fabulous if you've been dying to try something new, or if you need tiny packages for travel.  This month's box was super exciting:

Of my samples, I'm most excited about trying the Jouer Moisturizing Lip Gloss in Birchbox Pink (I got a Jouer Lip Enhancer last month and LOVED IT), and the POREfessional pore minimizing primer from Benefit.

Does Birchbox sound fun to you?  Check them out here!
