BirchBox

January 2015

January's Birchbox was a cute little box, although I'm disappointed that I received

another Amika product.
I would have liked to seen the Tocca hand cream or the Folle De Joie Eau De Parfume, but I think those samples were very limited.
Together I spent 14.95$ with shipping.

Five (5) samples in January's Birchbox is pretty decent, considering most of these products have not been in any other Canadian subscription boxes. I don't know if Ipsy or Birchbox is better at the moment. I know Ipsy is 16$ CDN which is 2.00$ more than Birchbox, but I think Ipsy has more of a selection. I think Birchbox is good in it's own way because some of these products your would not normally receive here in Canada, which is what attracts me to BB.

 Amika Dry Shampoo, I keep seeing Amika in every subscription box, and it's getting old. This is my first time however receiving their dry shampoo product. It smells nice, and it does the job.

 I was actually kind of excited when I smelled the "Whish" Shave Cream - its smells likes blueberries. I myself have never had the opportunity to use a scented shaving cream before, which I think is kind of neat, because now I have an excuse to shave more often lol.

 The hello body cream by Harvey Prince smells really good, almost like a mango or passion fruit, it's not to heavy which is nice, and leaves a light scent after application.

Model Co's Party Proof lipstick was a great little item they included in January's box. I've never owned a Model Co product before so this was nice. I received the a mauve color. It's nice, but it's more for blondes.

I have not tested out the Derma E Hydrating Night creme yet, but I know from previous items like the microdermabrasion scrub from Ipsy, was really good, and best of all Derma E does NO animal testing. Yay for that.

January's 2015 Birchbox was decent, nothing special, but decent. I will keep subscribing for a bit and see

 Yay!! Birchbox has finally come to Canada!! - I was so excited when I received the email from Birchbox that they were starting to offer there boxes to us Canadian residents. There's not many boxes that ship to Canada so this was a great little surprise! - Pop Sugar, and a bunch of other American boxes look amazing, but do not ship to Canada, and the ones that do have an outrageous shipping charge. - If your new to Birchbox, this is what the Canadian version looks like.

I pay 10$ a month + 4.95$ CDN Shipping which totals about 15$ CDN each month. They charge on the 1st of every month and ship on or before the 10th of every month.

I was delightfully surprise to receive such a cute box, with fluffy pink tissue paper and a generous amount of samples or name brand, and new brand products. - This box is definately worth 15$!
The box itself can be re-used for your makeup stashes, crafts or gifting! <3 I thought the little turquoise envelope box was adorable too!

 First thing I received is this Amika Nourishing Mask. This mask is for your hair, it suppose to give intense conditioning and repair to damaged hair. I usually don't use hair masks, but since the packaging on this is cute, I will try it tonight. It does however smell REALLY good!

 Vasanti's "BrightenUp!" is an enzymatic face rejuvenator, which exfoliates and is enriched with Papaya, Micro-crystals and Aloe!! This sounds promising!! - I'm all about products that brighten up skin tones so I hope this works!

& here we have another Harvey Prince product but this time it's a shower gel with pink grapefruit & vanilla. I've tried Harvey Princes roller ball perfume from Petit Vour and I loved it, so I'm sure this shower gel will not disappoint.

First time receiving a Benefit product in a subscription box so this was a +1 for Birchbox! - I know Ipsy was offering a Benefit product in on of there bags awhile back, but unfortunately for me I was not one of the lucky ones to receive it. I was never a fan of Benefit, but I do love there packaging. Great marketing that's for sure! - This is High Beam which is a highlighter, lord know's I have a lot of highlighters that I never used because they never stay on for a long period of time, but I have heard good things about this one, so I will be putting this to the test and see how long it holds up for without a makeup finishing spray.

TOO happy about getting this eyeliner from CYNTHIA ROWLEY. I've been an avid collector of her House & Home stuff - from fuzzy pillows to her blankets. I actually have two of her blankets that I purchased not too long ago, which are simply gorgeous! so this was the highlight of my box. Thank you Birchbox!!! This eyeliner is a simple black color. You can never get enough black eyeliners ;)


I'm totally sticking to Birchbox for awhile, the price if great, shipping is amazing, and the products are well worth the money! - Thank you!!!! Thank you!!!!
