January Birchbox

I'm joining Tara and Katie for their Birchbox brag link up!
I signed up for Birchbox and received my first one last month, but wasn't impressed. I thought I wasn't impressed with this month's either, but I'm liking it more and more as I test out the samples.

I'm totally getting into moisturizers, since I want my almost 30 year old face to keep looking like it's not old enough to purchase alcohol.

I really like this one, it was thick but not too thick and it absorbs nicely into the skin. And it smells fresh, kinda like cucumbers. 

I haven't tried this shampoo yet, so can't comment.

I also haven't tried this eyelash serum, and I'm slightly afraid too. I love my eyelashes and I don't really want to mess with them =/

This month I got a cute little blush and highlighter in one from The Balm.

I've been wanting to try some of The Balm products, so this is perfect. It's a really pretty shade too.

Lastly was another perfume sample. Haven't tried it, don't know that I will since I just bought some perfume at Sephora a few weeks ago. It seems like more of a summer fragrance anyway.

So overall, I think this box was better than last time, so my Birchbox subscription lives to see another month!

    1. I hope you like it! This is my second box and it's better than the first, so I'm still hopeful it'll be worth it.

  2. I saved up all of my fragrance samples (since I have never liked them) and gave them as a white elephant gift this year :) I got a hotmama blush as well but it was a bit to orange for me at this time of the year. I will have to save it till summer when I have a bit of a tan :)

    1. That's a really good idea for the fragrance samples! I haven't worn the blush yet - too busy to experiment, but I'm super white so if it's orange it might not be right for me =/

  3. LOVE Hot Mama! I got the shampoo last month and it's pretty good! Wish it foamed up more!

    1. Sounds like the Lush shampoo "I love Juicy" which doesn't foam up much either, but I really like that and how clean my hair feels after using it! Hopefully this sample is a hit!

Leave a little love! It makes me feel warm and fuzzy!
