March 2014 Birchbox Unboxing!

It's been a long time everybody!

      I've been busy lately and so tired which is why this post is going up so late. I hope everyone's been having a great March though! :) This month's box has been a hit for me.

Product Empties #1! (Herbal Essences, Neutrogena, Body Shop, Eos, Swisspers, Maybelline Mascaras, Dove)

Back with a new post! Can you believe it's March already?

      My first ever product empties post! Who else feels extremely satisfied when a product is used up?? I sure do! I'm always glad I used something up and used up my money's worth, although at the same time if it's something I like, it's a little sad knowing I'll have to buy another one. Haha. Here's a look at some products I've used up over the span of a few months and my thoughts on them.



Makeup
I didn't actually use up these mascaras but I thought I'd include them in this empties post since I was going to throw them out anyway. I had gotten a stye and I thought it best to throw out any eye products I had used around that time. I did use up most of each though, I do know that. All of the mascaras are in the color very black and are waterproof. I always need to use the waterproof formulas for any mascara because the regular ones will definitely leave me with panda eyes which isn't a pretty sight. Waterproof formulas are so hard to remove but at the expense of not looking like a raccoon what other choice do I have? The compromise.

Maybelline Rocket Volume Express in Very Black (Waterproof) -- I really liked this mascara! I know there are mixed reviews on this but I really liked it. I used this mainly for the volume. I paired this with the Maybelline Lash Stilleto and together they gave me lashes! I have short, thin lashes so a single mascara alone doesn't do it for me. No clumps and easy to apply. I would definitely repurchase this in the future.
Maybelline the Falsies in Very Black (Waterproof) -- Who doesn't like the Falsies?? If you need volume, this mascara will give you that!
Maybelline Lash Stilleto Voluptuous in Very Black (Waterproof) -- This mascara didn't really give me any volume but it did give me length. It isn't one of my favorite mascaras but it worked well enough with a mascara that primarily gives volume because together that would give me volume and length.
