Birchbox | March 2014

How about we skip the intro & go straight into this "Spring Forward" themed box...

Box Breakdown
Pop Beauty In Liner In Blue 
Air Repair Rescue Balm
Camille Beckman Glycerine Hand Therapy Morelia Monarch Scent
Keims Cleanshine Energizing Shampoo
100% Pure Coffee Bean Caffeine Eye Cream
Ghiradelli Cherry Tango Square

Birchbox had so many variations this month! I am pretty happy with my assortment of products (Plus, six points of reviews, score.) Is it weird that I am most excited about the foil packet samples? This will be the third 100% Pure product I have received, and I am not disappointed. The Coffee Bean Caffeine Eye Cream feels and smells very similar to their Nourishing Body Cream. It's very hydrating but doesn't feel slippy so it works perfectly in the morning too. I definitely want to get the full-size after I run out of my little samples. I have been having crazy chocolate cravings lately, so I was super excited to try the Ghiradelli Cherry Tango Square. I love dark chocolate and cherries and almonds, so this was perfect. I will have to search my grocery store for these.  The Air Repair Rescue Balm is a super hydrating, emollient multi-purpose balm. It says it can be used for lips and other dry areas. The Camille Beckman Glycerine Hand Therapy has a really nice whipped consistency. It's like a little body butter for your hands, and it's very moisturizing while not being greasy. I like the Morelia Monarch scent as well. The last two products were great sizes for Birchbox. I received the Keims Cleanshine Energizing Shampoo. I used this the other night, and I have to say, I found it to be pretty average. I could barely smell the scent and for having Sodium Laurel Sulfate, it didn't even foam up. Finally, I received the Pop Beauty In Liner in In Blue. That's a lot of 'in's. It's a nice dark blue, demin-like colour. It's a retractable pencil which is also pretty handy. It's not as smooth or pigmented as the Urban Decay 24/7 liners, but it does have a very long lasting power. I like the blue shade as it isn't as harsh as a black for tightlining and waterlining in the daytime.

    2. I think you should take a look at this best eyeliner for waterline in 2015. I am using the black one, really easy for applying.
