“We’re speeding full force into 2015 with a vow to make the most of every minute—starting now! And we can’t think of a better way to begin than with some must-have beauty picks to help you look and feel your best.”

Let’s do this! 2015 is here and the possibilities are endless. A blank book lays before us and its up to you to put the words onto the page. This is your year! Your year to create amazing memories, to laugh, to thrive, and to achieve big big things! So get out there, find yourself, and remember never look back!

A new year means stepping out of my comfort zone and giving new products a whirl. I was super stoked when BirchBox revealed that Tocca would be a sample choice option. I have always wanted to try out this brand and I was never lucky enough to get the sample in my box. So I snapped it up the moment I got my sample choice email from BirchBox.

“Hey! What did you get in your BirchBox this month?!”

Let’s Do This!

Balance Me – Wonder Eye Cream: anti-aging multitasker that conquers wrinkles and dark circles at the first signs of aging.
—————————> Girl, I’ve got a confession! I was like so born with dark circles! So that means I am always in the market for a good eye cream and thanks to subscription boxes I get to try out a ton. I love how Balance Me soaks right in and it does not leave my under eye area an oily mess.

It’s A 10 Hair – Miracle Leave in Product plus Keratin: this 10 in one treatment address the spectrum of hair damage, from brittleness to frizz.
————————> I am normally not a fan of leave in products. However this one has changed my tune. Its light weight non-stinky formula leaves my hair soft with little to no frizz.

Manna Kadar Lip Locked in All of You: All in one primer, stain, and gloss that’s loaded with vitamins and berry extracts.
———————-> This is actually a repeat for me. Remember how I made a stink last month because my sample choice was missing from my box. Well who would have thunk that BirchBox would be sending it to me again in January. This is a different shade than the Lucky, it is more of a peachy nude and I think its perfect. I love the staying power and light weight formula.

MyChelle Dermaceuticals: this hydrating argan and boabab oil blended combats signs of aging and smooths skin and hair.

TOCCA Crema da Mano – Cleopatra: loaded with natural botanicals, this grapefruit and cucumber lotion absorbs in a flash.
————————-> This is like the holy grail of BirchBox samples and I finally got my hands on it. Literally I got my hands on it. I love love the scent it starts out grapefruit and then cucumber settles into the party on your hands. It is light weight, non-greasy, and baby it really does absorb in a flash!

BirchBox is off to a good start and I cannot wait to see what the other 11 boxes will hold. To me BirchBox is like an adventure and you never know what that little box will hold. It could be bliss or a fucking blunder. No one likes a blunder, so may all of your BirchBoxes be a blissful adventure in 2015.
