February 2014 Birchbox Unboxing!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! :)

     It's already almost the midst of February, how time flies doesn't it? Here's my monthly Birchbox unboxing post and a look at the things I got. This month Birchbox collaborated with Us Weekly




Paula's Choice - RESIST Ultra-light Antioxidant Concentrate Serum 
This product was super greasy for me and didn't absorb well. I really did not like this product.
Value: $5.10, 0.17 fl oz. [Regular: $30, 1 oz]

Sarahpotempa - The Half Up
This is a tool used to help create half-up dos or low buns  perfect for short or fine hair according to the packaging. I found it very hard to use and not good for short or fine hair. It was hard to do a low bun for me because I have quite a lot of hair. Overall, I was not impressed with this product.
Value: $9

W3ll People - Universalist Multi-Use Color Stick in #8 Dusty Rose
This product is meant for the eyes, cheeks and lips. Made from all natural ingredients and infused with organic aloe. I think it's great that it's comrpised of all natural ingredients, but I don't care much for this product that just adds color. I tried this on my lips and didn't like the taste of it.
Value: could not determine since weight was not included with sample package
[Regular: $33, 10 g]

Whish - Three Wishes Body Butter
Another product I'll be able to throw into my bag due to its size! Smells nice and fresh.
Value: $3.52, 22 ml  [Regular: $24, 150 ml]

This month's beauty extra was two tea samples from Harney & Sons Fine Teas. They are single silken wrapped satchets. I got one in White Vanilla Grapefruit and another in Paris (which consists of black tea with fruit and caramel.)
Value: $0.96 for 2 satchels  [Regular: $9.60 for 20 satchels]

      Overall, I was not impressed with this month's box and it was a miss for me. I didn't like the products and am only interested in the tea samples and the body butter. As usual, the box, in terms of value is over the $10 paid for. I know that not every box will be a hit for everyone, but hopefully, the next box with contain more products to my liking. 
      Thanks for checking out my post! I hope you all have a wonderful day and a wonderful Valentine's Day. If you like what you see here on my blog, follow or leave comments! :)

December 2013 Birchbox Unboxing!

Hi everyone!

      I've been busy for most of December with school, finals, the holidays and such which is why I have not posted anything in awhile. That is also why this December Birchbox post is quite late too considering it is almost Christmas, but better late than never right?
      First thought when I got this package was that the packaging is different and holiday themed! Usually, it comes in a pink cardboard box but this month's is gold with a little Happy Holidays design. The actual box is also different too. It says "Sparkle and Shine" which is cute and the inside has gold stripes.
