GO TIME

Ever since I had a chat with a Birch Box customer service rep the products in my box have greatly improved. I can’t remember her name, but she was great. The Rep took the time to help me create my profile, she said the trick to he Birch Box profile is “less is more.” Checking everything is like saying “oh give me any old thing you have.” Less helps them pin point the exact products that will benefit your lifestyle and beauty routine. I am very happy with my samples this month.

The Birch Box theme for January 2014 is GO TIME. “In 2014 we are taking on more: more things to try, to conquer, to integrate into our lives. New products—in the form of this month’s samples—are just the beginning. We’ll be bringing you plenty of inspiration, from a 10-minute workout you can do anywhere to the top beauty trends to try right now.”

I must say that’s a pretty great theme to start out the year with. I always look at the start of the new year as an empty book. Each minute and each hour of every day are filled with moments that will line every page of my newly opened book. Will it be an incredible year or a terrible blunder, only fate knows that.

Back to the Box! I am super excited to share the fun I unboxed this month!

GO TIME:

100% Pure Reparative cream, Smoothing Night Cream & Organic Eye Cream:This moisturizing trio diminishes lines, plumps, brightens, and smooths.
——————-> Earlier in the week my face was very dry from the harsh winter weather so I gave the Reparative cream a shot. I went to bed with scaly dry skin and woke up to a beautifully smooth and soft face. No flakes, just flawless skin! That’s a win win in my book.

Fekkai Brilliant Gloss Crème: Rich in olive oil, this creamy frizz-tamer gives strands all day shimmer.
—————-> Truth: I keep forgetting to try this and I am kicking my self in he tush for it. This product has rave reviews and it is now safely sitting in my shower rack.

INIKA Mineral Eyeshadow in Eternal Marine: Packed with certified-organic ingredients, these natural pigments stay vibrant for hours.
——————-> The shade I received is beautiful, however it is to dark for my fair skin.

Nail Rock Glitter: The UK brand’s two-step system for your sparkliest mani ever.
—————–> I received the ruby red polish and matching glitter. This polish was a little complicated for my tastes so I handed it off to my coworker Renae. I am pretty darn sure she will put this very pretty polish to good use.

LifeStyle Extra: Ahmad Tea London

All in all January’s box was awesome and I cannot wait to see what Birch Box has in store for February!

Truth: I received two Birch Boxes for the month of November. My first box was a total bust, I couldn’t use anything in the box because of the chocolate bar laying at the bottom. So I tweeted, I posted on the Birch Box Facebook page, and they reached out. I had a heart to heart with Charity and explained why I wasn’t happy with their product. Charity took the time to help me adjust my profile, answer my questions, and to find a box that didn’t have chocolate in it. Charity was amazing and she is the reason I decided to give Birch Box a few more months.

Soon I received an email telling me my new box was on its way. The box was laying in front of my door when I got home. Hearing the box jingle peaked my interest. I was all ready preparing myself for disappointment, instead I was pleasantly surprised. For the first time I absolutely want to hands down try everything in my box. There wasn’t a wrinkle cream or curl keeper in sight, and that made me happy.

Birch Box picked “More Good” as the November theme. As in you want more of a good thing, to do good, and be more thankful. The theme minus the grammar fits the month of November perfectly. We could all and use a little more good in our lives. One can never have to much of a good thing.

“What did I get in my box?” Oh, I am so glad you asked!

Eyeko – Black Magic Mascara, a water-resistant formula that curls and lasts all day.

Laura Mercier – Lip Glace in Opal, a rich colored lip gloss that provided high shine.

Tiossan – Body Cream, loaded with antioxidants that leaves skin silky soft.

Vasanti Cosmetics – Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator.

Lifestyle Extra
Ahmad Tea Long – a mix of different flavored teas.

All in all I am super happy with this box and I cannot wait to try all of the goodies I received.
